Facebook is a powerful (the most powerful?) advertising platform with over a billion daily active users. A billion daily active users. Roughly 1/6th of the world's population. It's also a fantastic platform for B2B marketers who need to generate leads.

There's no shortage of content marketing ideas out in the universe. So many in fact, that focusing on one can cause a paralysis by analysis of sorts unless you have a process to get started.

The commercial fitness equipment industry has an especially wide range of content marketing opportunities. Not only can you create content that's of value for the equipment buyer, but you can also use content to create interest and add value for the end-user. The later can even work to influence the former.

Facebook Live gives the impression that people have to be on live. That's a bit of a misnomer because there is a lot you can do with your newly-created video content.

Facebook advertising examples: The straight-into-the-camera single-human image.

This image has worked well for me for two reasons: 1) The girl is pretty far zoomed-in-on. You can clearly see her face. 2) the red and blue colors are eye catching.
