Facebook Advertising: How to Get Direct Inquiries for Just P1,200 a Month

As part of our mission to help you focus more on your passion, we at Taxumo will be inviting various experts here on our blog to guide you on how to grow your business effectively. 

Below, digital marketing specialist Julian Cañita explains how Facebook advertising can be a great platform to reach your potential market.

They just wait for inquiries to come in as opposed to actively looking to connect with potential prospects themselves.

Below, Raffy recounts his rewarding journey from leaving the corporate world to joining the growing pool of successful entrepreneurs who continue to defy their comfort zones, in the name of following and living out their passions:Read MoreTaxumo Heroes: Why Paying His Income Tax Won’t Stop Raffy from Pursuing His Passion
