#facebook placements are going away - what #authors should do #shorts David Gaughran 2026-08-28 | Facebook placements are going away soon - meaning you will lose control of where your ads are shown on Facebook, Instagram, and elsewhere.

A big Facebook Ads change is coming (how to fix it) David Gaughran 2026-08-26 | Meta is taking away the ability to manually control where your ads are shown - not just the placements on Facebook, but whether they appear on Instagram, Threads, or Meta's vast network of partner sites known as the Audience Network.Unless you make changes, this will cripple the ability of authors to sell books on Amazon with Facebook Ads.However, I have two workarounds for you which will allow you to wrest back that control so you can keep running effective campaigns to sell books on Facebook.This news came from @JonLoomer and I highly recommend his channel and his website for leveling up your Meta Ads knowledge.
