+
+#### **What's A/B Testing?** 
+
+It's like trying out 2 versions of your ad to see which one works better. We're talking about finding the sweet spot that clicks with your audience and gets them engaged.
+
+#### **10 tips to amp up your ads** 
+
+1. **Know your goals:** Be crystal clear on what you want – clicks, conversions, or eyeballs on your content.
+2. **Tweak one thing at a time:** Test out individual elements like headlines, images, CTAs, colours or buttons. It's like finding the secret sauce, one ingredient at a time.
+3. **Understand your audience:** Group your audience based on what makes them tick. Knowing your audience's quirks helps you tailor your ads to hit the right notes.
+4. **Get enough eyes on your test:** Make sure your test reaches enough people to give you solid results. No shortcuts here – use statistical tools to know your numbers.
+5. **Mix it up:** Randomly show different versions of your ad. Keep a control group to see what works without any tweaks.
+6. **Give it time:** Let your tests run for a good period. Quick decisions might lead you astray – think long-term.
+7. **Stay on your toes:** Keep an eye on how your tests are doing. If things go wonky, be ready to hit pause or tweak things.
+8. **Take good notes:** Write down what you're testing, what you find, and why it matters. Your future self will thank you.
+9. **Learn, rinse, repeat:** Use what you learn to make your next ads even better. It's all about getting smarter with each test.
+10. **Share the learnings with your team:** Share what you find with your team. Collaboration is key – you never know who might have the golden nugget of insight.
