Building unskippable.co — analyze your video ads frame-by-frame before they go live
When the brand finally hits a marketing breakthrough and is 'printing money,' who should get the biggest merit badge? Creative Strategist? Media Buyer? CRO Specialist? Copywriter? #marketing #fbads
What's the perfect length for a video ad? Some say 30 seconds. Others swear by 60. How long are your top-performing ads? #meta #fbads #marketing #ads
Your SaaS ads still need UGC. Why? Because no amount of fancy UI shots beats a real person saying: “This tool saved me hours.” #buildinpublic
My client is looking for UGC Creators from 🇺🇸 or 🇨🇦 to collaborate on content for an exciting book platform. If that sounds like you (or someone you know), please reach out. #ugccreators #ugc #content
I interviewed with Amazon 3 years ago. I dove into LeetCode… and realized the exercises were brutal. While googling for help, I found a platform that offers every exercise with solutions. I got it right away. But it was bad. Couldn't get a refund. How do you sell your SaaS? #buildinpublic
The fastest way to simplify the price Eliminate the risk. Don't say "30-day refund." Say: "Try it risk-free. If you don't love it, you don't pay a penny." Zero risk = zero confusion #buildinpublic
You have to bet your entire budget on one winner for a month Which one is generating the best ROI? 1/ Raw UGC 2/ Expert/Doctor Endorsements 3/ Comment Response Videos 4/ Long Educational Vids #meta #ads #marketing
How do you deal with the guilt of not making much progress on your project the previous week? #buildinpublic
How to tell if your video ad works before launch: 👉 Hook: Do the first 3s grab attention? 👉 Visuals: Clear even without sound? 👉 Product: Every shot ties back to it? 👉 Emotion: Does it make people feel something? 👉 CTA: Do final shots guide to the next step? #marketing #meta #ads

Lol 50% of people I talked to this week from agencies or e-comms are either on vacation or working remotely from somewhere tropical. Seems like e-commerce pays really well.
If you had to pick ONE creative tool that you absolutely cannot live without for paid ads, what is it? #meta #marketing #ads
All I want for Christmas $1 $10 $100 $1000 $10000 $100000 #buildinpublic
Hooks that actually work: ✅ The Scam Hook ✅ TikTok Reply Hook ✅ The ‘Why did no one tell me?’ Hook What’s your hook to go? #ads #meta #marketing
October is nearly gone! Time for a quick progress. Share your MVP, product link, or a cool screenshot below. Let's showcase the month's progress 👇 #buildinpublic
Huge win today! My second interview for my product was with a fantastic Video Editor. We dove into: ✓ The frustrating challenges of subjective feedback and last-minute revisions ✓ We even brainstormed some killer future features the tool could adopt to make their life easier #buildinpublic
How long did it take you to get your first paying customer? I’m asking for a friend. #buildinpublic
Stop guessing why it works for your competitor Now you can see exactly how they do it. So you can easily improve your #creatives by learning from them. See how 👇
Share an update 3-5 times a week. It can be a brief text post, a screenshot, or a quick video clip. Consistency is more important than perfection. #buildinpublic
Your ads won’t be perfect at first The good news is, now you can break them down frame by frame: 1/ Identify key strengths and areas to improve 2/ Get a score for every aspect of your ad 3/ Analyze shot-by-shot 4/ Generate a full transcript 5/ Get split-test recommendations #marketing #fbads
1 week since launching my MVP! ✅ 200+ visitors ✅ 9 sign-ups ✅ 60+ videos analyzed ✅ 30+ posts on X/Bsky ✅ 10+ posts on Reddit ✅ Joined 7 communities ✅ 40+ DMs sent ✅ 1 client interview done ⏳ 1 client interview scheduled Feels amazing to see the early traction! #buildinpublic
Your idea is way more likely to get stolen at a hackathon than on Bsky. So don’t be afraid to #buildinpublic.
This formula for High-ROAS video ads STILL WORKS The highest-converting ads aren't pretty. They follow the 5-step UGC Creative Formula: 1/ The Hook (0-3s) 2/ Agitator (3-7s) 3/ The Fix (7-12s) 4/ Proof (12-20s) 5/ CTA (End): Here you make money
50+ video ads have already been tested on unskippable.co by early users, each one analyzed for hooks, clarity, and engagement. If you’re a media buyer, creative strategist, or video editor, you should give it a try. Every new user gets 10 free credits to test 10 video ads. #marketing #facebookads
Just had my first interview with a potential client for my MVP — and it was gold. He told me exactly what he liked about the product, what parts were confusing, how his creative workflow looks, how he collaborates with clients, and even what features he’d love to see next. #buildinpublic
A 15-minute video call with a potential client beats a 100-question form any day. You’ll learn more from their tone, pauses, and energy than from any checkbox. #buildinpublic
