Would you buy what you’re selling?
When running a campaign think about what it is your customers want. Think first what would be of value to the customer then write the ads. If you come in with the mindset that you want to sell and you write from that perceptive the likelihood is that the ads will be costly and not…
When advertising keep it as simple as possible
When advertising anything the amount of steps to get to convert should be as little as possible. If you want to give away an eBook for an email address then you should send people to a landing page with as simple instructions as possible.

Advertising for Engagement
The average Facebook Ads Campaign is for conversations, which makes sense. I want to sell my t-shirt, so I advertise on Facebook to sell them, and each sale is a conversion. But sometimes it is worth paying for an ad for a totally different reason. We explained in the very first post that Facebook cares…
Understand what Potential Audience Means

Each photo gets a caption and each can have a different link. Many companies have reported very high engagement rates…
Want to find new followers? You need to use Lookalike audiences
I like to call the next audience group “magic.” Let me explain the power of Facebook. Facebook knows everything about you. Everything. They know what articles you like, and no, I don’t mean what you “like” I mean what you actually enjoy. How do they know what you enjoy? Besides Facebook knowing everything you like,…
Who can be a better target audience than your email list?
The next audience to look into is your email list or phone list. With Facebook you can take a list of phone numbers, email addresses, Facebook IDs, or mobile advertiser IDs and connect it to automatically to existing accounts on Facebook. Then you can target those people with special ads just for them. This is a…
