00:00:20,063 --> 00:00:22,223
Hello, and you're very
welcome to this episode.
2
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:26,403
This is Alvarn and today we'll be
looking at how much to spend on Facebook
3
00:00:26,473 --> 00:00:29,293
ads with a real life example included.
4
00:00:29,523 --> 00:00:30,033
Are you ready?
5
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:31,203
Let's get into it.
6
00:00:31,803 --> 00:00:35,573
So Aoife broke out in a cold
sweat because she wondered how
7
00:00:35,573 --> 00:00:37,343
much to spend on Facebook ads.
8
00:00:37,723 --> 00:00:42,573
In the past, she dabbled with
Facebook ads, spending upwards of 600.
9
00:00:43,098 --> 00:00:45,318
With very little return
on that investment.
10
00:00:45,638 --> 00:00:50,608
You see Aoife saw many entrepreneurs and
small business owners who publish stellar
11
00:00:50,608 --> 00:00:53,048
results from their Facebook ads campaigns.
12
00:00:53,648 --> 00:00:57,708
This has never been her experience,
but it would be lovely if she could
13
00:00:57,728 --> 00:01:01,708
finally crack the code and get
significant results for her business.
14
00:01:02,238 --> 00:01:06,388
Facebook is one of the most powerful
tools that allow businesses to quickly
15
00:01:06,388 --> 00:01:11,308
and easily create targeted campaigns
to reach their desired customers.
16
00:01:11,668 --> 00:01:15,418
I know, I know you're probably thinking
it's probably the most frustrated,
17
00:01:15,668 --> 00:01:17,928
frustrating, uh, platform as well.
18
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:22,088
But with its growing popularity, it
is important to remember that there
19
00:01:22,128 --> 00:01:24,478
is no one size fits all solution.
20
00:01:25,018 --> 00:01:27,678
I have come across many
marketers feeling nervous about
21
00:01:27,688 --> 00:01:29,378
Facebook Ads costs and budgets.
22
00:01:29,748 --> 00:01:33,848
Many get iffy with thoughts of how much
to spend on Facebook Ads and what to,
23
00:01:34,098 --> 00:01:37,408
what, is a good daily Facebook ads budget.
24
00:01:37,988 --> 00:01:41,478
In this comprehensive guide, you will
learn how much you spend on Facebook
25
00:01:41,508 --> 00:01:43,518
ads in order to get the best results.
26
00:01:44,128 --> 00:01:46,678
And in the end, you will have a
better understanding of how to
27
00:01:46,678 --> 00:01:51,308
allocate budget and run effective and
successful Facebook ads campaigns.
28
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:52,588
Okay.
29
00:01:53,148 --> 00:01:56,538
So with the right Facebook ad strategy,
you can reach your target audience
30
00:01:56,588 --> 00:02:01,268
and grow your face, your business, but
how much should be spent on Facebook?
31
00:02:02,078 --> 00:02:02,738
The answer.
32
00:02:03,103 --> 00:02:08,473
Depends on your budget, size,
industry, and your goals.
33
00:02:08,763 --> 00:02:11,183
To work out optimal spending,
it's important to set a budget
34
00:02:11,183 --> 00:02:12,593
that is realistic and achievable.
35
00:02:12,973 --> 00:02:16,953
And I'm talking about without even looking
at

objectives now, just an overall budget.
36
00:02:17,383 --> 00:02:20,808
If you're ready to start advertising
on social media, Don't be intimidated,
37
00:02:20,888 --> 00:02:23,228
intimidated by the Facebook costs.
38
00:02:23,628 --> 00:02:30,608
You can start small with a, with a minimum
of 1, 1 and 27 cents a day, where you
39
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:32,988
can get, start getting to see results.
40
00:02:33,898 --> 00:02:37,168
This approach works for those who
have a limited budget and want to
41
00:02:37,168 --> 00:02:38,758
test the waters before diving in.
42
00:02:39,418 --> 00:02:42,308
Before you start looking at
allocating more money, here's a
43
00:02:42,308 --> 00:02:46,268
step by step guide that you can
use, um, to decide what to do next.
44
00:02:47,048 --> 00:02:51,068
So number one, determine your monthly
Facebook ad advertising budget.
45
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:56,768
When it comes to determining, um,
your monthly Facebook advertising
46
00:02:56,768 --> 00:02:59,198
budget, the key is to start
small and adjust as you go.
47
00:03:00,058 --> 00:03:02,848
There are a number of factors
that would lend to good results.
48
00:03:02,848 --> 00:03:07,078
For example, a lead generation campaign
using the most relevant ads can be
49
00:03:07,078 --> 00:03:09,898
achieved at lower co at the lowest cost.
50
00:03:09,958 --> 00:03:14,308
To be more specific, a Facebook
lead ad course is surprisingly low.
51
00:03:14,968 --> 00:03:19,443
Um, when it come, when it comes to getting
a lead, Compared to other objective types.
52
00:03:19,813 --> 00:03:25,253
And I have done a podcast, I believe
it's two episodes before this one.
53
00:03:25,303 --> 00:03:29,373
I don't remember what episode number
it is where I go through the Facebook
54
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:32,453
lead ads campaign in a great.
55
00:03:32,853 --> 00:03:35,503
Painful detail, step by step.
56
00:03:35,763 --> 00:03:39,693
So that is in my opinion,
in terms of like, there are
57
00:03:39,693 --> 00:03:41,763
lower cost, costing campaigns.
58
00:03:41,773 --> 00:03:44,933
Like if you want to get a Facebook
likes, or if you want to get engagement
59
00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:46,793
on a post, those are even cheaper.
60
00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:50,673
But if it is, you want to grow your
email list actually from the, from the
61
00:03:50,683 --> 00:03:56,143
actual activity or, or investment, you
want to get leads that you can use them
62
00:03:56,213 --> 00:03:58,993
to nurture and develop into something.
63
00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:03,358
Then the lowest cost one is a lead
generation campaign, um, using
64
00:04:03,398 --> 00:04:08,038
Facebook lead ads, uh, head over to
the show notes success and scramble.
65
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,828
com forward slash EP two sixes six.
66
00:04:11,088 --> 00:04:14,778
And it's Echo Papa two six six to
get access to the show notes where
67
00:04:14,778 --> 00:04:22,558
I've included a link to the Facebook
lead ad, um, cost, uh, episode
68
00:04:22,598 --> 00:04:26,768
and show notes and step by step
instructions and all of that, just in
69
00:04:26,768 --> 00:04:28,048
case you want to get access to that.
70
00:04:29,048 --> 00:04:32,928
So you'll want to consider how much
you can realistically afford to spend.
71
00:04:34,083 --> 00:04:36,793
Another way to look at it is
what is your lifetime budget?
72
00:04:37,293 --> 00:04:41,313
A good starting point is to allocate
five to 10% of your overall advertising
73
00:04:41,313 --> 00:04:43,343
budget to Facebook and Instagram ads.
74
00:04:44,273 --> 00:04:48,108
The, this will give you the
flexibility to experiment and learn
75
00:04:48,108 --> 00:04:49,753
from the camp, from your campaigns.
76
00:04:50,313 --> 00:04:54,313
I have to tell you, um, I've been
up and running in this particular
77
00:04:54,313 --> 00:04:57,153
business since 2017, I believe it is.
78
00:04:57,483 --> 00:04:59,613
Um, so I don't know when you'll
be listening to this, but it's
79
00:04:59,613 --> 00:05:02,603
been quite a number of years and.
80
00:05:03,343 --> 00:05:08,833
The biggest mistake I've made looking
back, of course, 2020 vision is always
81
00:05:08,873 --> 00:05:13,033
best is that I didn't run Facebook ads
much sooner or didn't spend time getting
82
00:05:13,033 --> 00:05:18,683
to understand how powerful they are or
they were, especially Facebook lead ads.
83
00:05:19,323 --> 00:05:24,193
I could have grown my emails to 20,
000 people by now at the time of
84
00:05:24,193 --> 00:05:28,373
this recording, had I taken action
and started spending money on other
85
00:05:28,373 --> 00:05:31,043
things that just didn't give me an ROI.
86
00:05:31,558 --> 00:05:35,588
Okay, now that I've, um, gotten
off that little high podium,
87
00:05:35,588 --> 00:05:37,118
let's get back into the podcast.
88
00:05:37,868 --> 00:05:41,238
Once you've allocated a budget, it's
important to track your results.
89
00:05:41,288 --> 00:05:45,618
This will give you an idea of how
effective your campaigns are and
90
00:05:45,618 --> 00:05:46,788
how much you should be spending.
91
00:05:47,198 --> 00:05:50,638
Try using different, um,
budget strategies, strategies
92
00:05:50,698 --> 00:05:51,588
for different campaigns.
93
00:05:51,608 --> 00:05:55,578
Sorry, this is a bit of a tongue twister
with terminologies, but so bear with me.
94
00:05:56,008 --> 00:06:00,258
For example, you can use a
cost per click pricing model.
95
00:06:00,673 --> 00:06:05,123
For campaigns that focus on conversion
rates and a cost per thousand impressions
96
00:06:05,143 --> 00:06:07,693
campaigns that focuses on brand awareness.
97
00:06:07,743 --> 00:06:11,973
And as you can imagine, if you've never
heard of any of these terminologies
98
00:06:11,983 --> 00:06:19,623
before, I have several episodes that
covers Facebook ads, ads packages,
99
00:06:20,103 --> 00:06:21,843
um, which you should be spending.
100
00:06:22,078 --> 00:06:24,318
All different kinds of
different things on
Facebook.
101
00:06:25,408 --> 00:06:29,088
So head over to show a second, um,
to success and scramble the comfort
102
00:06:29,328 --> 00:06:33,778
slash EP two, six, six, and that's
Echo Papa two, six, six, to get access
103
00:06:33,778 --> 00:06:36,508
to the show notes and all of the
different links, all of the different
104
00:06:36,988 --> 00:06:39,468
Facebook ad resources are all in there.
105
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:41,188
I'm so passionate about this.
106
00:06:41,228 --> 00:06:45,428
I've written so many different, um,
articles and this, and I've recorded
107
00:06:45,428 --> 00:06:48,358
so many different, um, podcast
episodes, because I just want anybody
108
00:06:48,358 --> 00:06:49,308
who's starting off in business.
109
00:06:49,608 --> 00:06:52,798
Now, once you're 12 months in business,
you're ready for Facebook ads.
110
00:06:53,418 --> 00:06:54,128
Um, okay.
111
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:54,943
Now, sorry.
112
00:06:54,983 --> 00:06:56,833
I just keep getting on that mic stand.
113
00:06:57,303 --> 00:06:58,153
Okay, here we go.
114
00:06:58,903 --> 00:07:05,413
So the difference between the different
objectives ranging from, um, lowest,
115
00:07:05,593 --> 00:07:09,483
lowest cost, the highest course
is your brand awareness campaign.
116
00:07:09,483 --> 00:07:13,073
So all you're doing is making people
aware of, of, of your existence.
117
00:07:13,603 --> 00:07:14,843
And that's really low cost.
118
00:07:14,843 --> 00:07:19,443
You can start at a dollar, 27 a
day, a dollar and 27 cents a day.
119
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,593
And, um, you'd be able to spend.
120
00:07:23,258 --> 00:07:26,258
You know, let people, your potential
audience know that you're there.
121
00:07:27,158 --> 00:07:30,928
Um, and then you can go to an engagement
campaign where, you know, you probably
122
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:35,008
put a post on your Facebook page and
you get people to engage with it.
123
00:07:35,558 --> 00:07:37,528
And then next level up is a lead campaign.
124
00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:44,388
So now, as you can see the progression,
the commitment is getting, um.
125
00:07:44,808 --> 00:07:49,278
More and more difficult, not
difficult, but you're asking the user
126
00:07:49,278 --> 00:07:52,618
to do something, take a step closer
to get closer and closer to you.
127
00:07:52,998 --> 00:07:54,578
So it was brand awareness, engagement.
128
00:07:54,578 --> 00:07:55,738
And the next one is the lead.
129
00:07:55,758 --> 00:07:58,428
So they now have to do something
to get whatever it is you're giving
130
00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:01,158
them to a lead market or whatever.
131
00:08:01,198 --> 00:08:01,968
And then after that.
132
00:08:02,408 --> 00:08:06,928
The next level up from that then is a
conversion, which is a sale and they,
133
00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:10,688
they brand awareness is the lowest cost
and the conversion is the highest cost.
134
00:08:10,738 --> 00:08:13,538
And if it is, you're doing like
a webinar, although it's a lead
135
00:08:13,538 --> 00:08:17,898
campaign and not a conversion,
that is still much higher costs.
136
00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:21,548
So in other words, in the lead, in
the lead generation category, there
137
00:08:21,548 --> 00:08:24,718
are several different, um, lead
generation companies you can run.
138
00:08:25,058 --> 00:08:27,078
And they range again
from lowest to highest.
139
00:08:27,798 --> 00:08:31,338
None of the lead generation ones are
as low as a brand awareness campaign.
140
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:32,198
Okay.
141
00:08:32,698 --> 00:08:37,358
For example, Facebook lights is
like 20 cents or 10 cents a click or
142
00:08:37,358 --> 00:08:41,138
whatever it is equal, sorry, like,
or a engagement, whatever it is.
143
00:08:41,868 --> 00:08:42,928
So, okay.
144
00:08:42,988 --> 00:08:45,458
Now that I've gotten all of that
out of the way, let's continue.
145
00:08:46,048 --> 00:08:49,178
So with the right budget and strategies
in place, you can ensure that Facebook ad
146
00:08:49,178 --> 00:08:50,678
campaigns are working for your business.
147
00:08:51,843 --> 00:08:57,783
Number two, consider the size, the size
of your brand average, um, product course.
148
00:08:58,103 --> 00:09:01,023
When it comes to deciding how much to
spend on Facebook ads, the size of your
149
00:09:01,193 --> 00:09:05,313
brand and the average cost of your product
are two important factors to consider.
150
00:09:05,343 --> 00:09:09,073
Small business owners tend to have a
much lower budget than obviously larger
151
00:09:09,073 --> 00:09:13,553
brands and hence many not able to
afford the same amount of advertising.
152
00:09:13,893 --> 00:09:17,273
The cost of your product will
also play a role in how much
153
00:09:17,273 --> 00:09:18,723
you spend on Facebook ads.
154
00:09:19,073 --> 00:09:21,373
If you're selling a premium
product, you may invest.
155
00:09:21,753 --> 00:09:26,263
More money in ads in order
to reach the right customers.
156
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:31,573
Example of that, if it is the thing that
you're selling, for example, a Gucci
157
00:09:31,573 --> 00:09:35,983
bag or Louis Vuitton, Vuitton, Vuitton,
whatever it's called bag, handbag,
158
00:09:36,023 --> 00:09:42,353
clutch, whatever they call somewhere
between 500 each, um, and the course.
159
00:09:42,848 --> 00:09:47,338
To acquire a lead and of course they
acquire a sale when you, when you're
160
00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:50,868
selling something like that, it's
going to be much higher because you're
161
00:09:50,888 --> 00:09:56,388
asking the person on the other end,
who's buying to make a bigger, um,
162
00:09:57,008 --> 00:09:59,048
commitment in terms of the value, and of
163
00:10:03,158 --> 00:10:04,718
the actual thing that
they're going to be buying.
164
00:10:05,508 --> 00:10:09,318
However, if you're selling something
small, like a handkerchief or maybe
165
00:10:09,328 --> 00:10:15,343
a set of AirPods or, you know, a plug
or something that's 15 or 20, Then the
166
00:10:15,343 --> 00:10:19,963
cost will be much lower and the cost
for sale is going to eventually be much
167
00:10:19,973 --> 00:10:26,193
lower because the person making the
commitment doesn't have to think really
168
00:10:26,193 --> 00:10:30,963
hard and set aside money and put aside
a budget and you know, all of that
169
00:10:31,033 --> 00:10:33,243
just to make the, to make the purchase.
170
00:10:33,823 --> 00:10:34,963
So that's the reason why.
171
00:10:35,618 --> 00:10:40,158
Um, the conversion is so much higher
because the commitment in the person's
172
00:10:40,168 --> 00:10:45,588
brain psychologically is much bigger
when it is you asking them to spend
173
00:10:45,598 --> 00:10:46,838
money and to spend a lot more.
174
00:10:48,398 --> 00:10:52,448
So ultimately you need to consider the
size of your brand and the average cost
175
00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:55,098
of your product when deciding how much
you spend, how much you want to spend.
176
00:10:56,228 --> 00:11:02,628
At number three, we've got distribute your
Facebook ad spend based on objectives.
177
00:11:02,958 --> 00:11:06,238
So say for example, you decide you're
going to run a campaign because.
178
00:11:07,203 --> 00:11:14,033
Um, every, yeah, let's just not, let's
see, uh, let's just say, uh, an event
179
00:11:14,053 --> 00:11:18,453
or a, let's just call it a campaign, but
not campaigning that in a Facebook ads,
180
00:11:18,963 --> 00:11:24,533
um, sense a campaign as an, an overall
campaign for the next three months.
181
00:11:24,553 --> 00:11:28,573
You're going to be running a series
of even a series of campaigns.
182
00:11:28,593 --> 00:11:29,903
One is brand awareness.
183
00:11:29,913 --> 00:11:32,153
The next one is lead generation.
184
00:11:32,153 --> 00:11:32,983
And the next one is a conversion.
185
00:11:33,638 --> 00:11:36,678
You know, three, a three
step kind of process, funnel,
186
00:11:36,688 --> 00:11:37,558
whatever you want to call it.
187
00:11:38,368 --> 00:11:42,678
Um, and because you, you have that
in mind, then you're going to have to
188
00:11:42,678 --> 00:11:49,068
decide, okay, how much I'm going to spend
overall, and then which kind of objective
189
00:11:49,098 --> 00:11:50,188
am I going to spend the money on?
190
00:11:50,708 --> 00:11:53,078
So if you're looking to maximize your
Facebook ad spend, the key is to know
191
00:11:53,088 --> 00:11:57,988
how much money, um, to put into each
objective, this helps you, um, to
192
00:11:57,988 --> 00:12:01,688
better target the right audiences and
get the best results for your money.
193
00:12:02,158 --> 00:12:05,288
Generally, it is recommended to
allocate budget based on outcomes.
194
00:12:05,378 --> 00:12:10,918
So, for instance, if you want to
increase brand awareness, aim for, aim
195
00:12:10,918 --> 00:12:14,468
for a higher, well, not necessarily
a higher budget, but a medium budget
196
00:12:14,468 --> 00:12:16,548
for reach and high frequency ad sets.
197
00:12:17,338 -->
00:12:22,268
Again, depending on your, your
market industry, how many people
198
00:12:22,268 --> 00:12:24,128
are competing in that level.
199
00:12:24,378 --> 00:12:26,768
I don't think they're going to be a
lot, but that's what you're looking at.
200
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:30,058
One example of brand awareness is
traffic campaigns, which requires
201
00:12:30,128 --> 00:12:31,278
implementation of a Facebook pixel.
202
00:12:32,128 --> 00:12:32,748
That is different.
203
00:12:32,758 --> 00:12:35,673
So you have brand awareness on Facebook
and you have brand awareness on Twitter.
204
00:12:35,993 --> 00:12:40,593
Or facebook these are types are normally
used by big brands to warm up their
205
00:12:40,603 --> 00:12:45,733
account Um, you can also orbit your
account with video campaigns with lead
206
00:12:45,743 --> 00:12:50,743
Facebook lead ads you can orbit campaign
your sorry your pixel using any of those
207
00:12:50,743 --> 00:12:54,483
as well If you want more conversions
allocate more money to conversions
208
00:12:54,823 --> 00:13:00,478
Additionally, you can create audiences for
each objective analyze How much you should
209
00:13:00,488 --> 00:13:02,288
be spending based on their performance.
210
00:13:02,478 --> 00:13:06,328
The key is to use the data to make
informed decisions and stay flexible.
211
00:13:07,168 --> 00:13:08,598
Here is another thing.
212
00:13:09,018 --> 00:13:11,608
Normally when you run a campaign,
an individual campaign, whether it
213
00:13:11,618 --> 00:13:15,748
be a lead out campaign or conversion
or brand awareness campaign, you
214
00:13:15,748 --> 00:13:17,658
should ideally run it for 90 days.
215
00:13:18,288 --> 00:13:22,028
In the marketing world, a campaign
should be run from, should be.
216
00:13:22,508 --> 00:13:29,268
You know, I'm going for 90 days to get
the best amount of data to determine
217
00:13:29,398 --> 00:13:34,678
how good or bad that campaign was 90
days, if it is, you can't write for
218
00:13:34,678 --> 00:13:36,628
90 days, that's, that's, that's fine.
219
00:13:36,928 --> 00:13:38,848
But I'm just saying that
90 days is the thing.
220
00:13:38,848 --> 00:13:41,248
So when you're running
a series of campaigns.
221
00:13:42,518 --> 00:13:46,998
Um, it would probably be best to do
a brand awareness campaign for three
222
00:13:46,998 --> 00:13:52,408
months and then take that information
and then run a lead out campaigns for
223
00:13:52,428 --> 00:13:56,118
another three months and then take that
information around another, a conversion
224
00:13:56,198 --> 00:13:57,738
campaign for another three months.
225
00:13:58,718 --> 00:14:03,168
One key thing to realize, and this is,
this is, if it's, if you don't listen
226
00:14:03,168 --> 00:14:07,508
to anything else I say on this episode,
listen to this really important thing.
227
00:14:08,928 --> 00:14:10,908
It is mind blowing.
228
00:14:10,958 --> 00:14:12,888
When I, when I found out about this.
229
00:14:13,363 --> 00:14:19,503
It changed my entire perspective
about Facebook ads and yes, you can
230
00:14:19,503 --> 00:14:22,743
still get restricted and blocked
and all of that fancy things.
231
00:14:23,398 --> 00:14:28,738
But it's important for you to know
the difference when the reason why
232
00:14:29,328 --> 00:14:32,178
Facebook has all these different,
different, different, um, objectives,
233
00:14:32,218 --> 00:14:37,088
like a brand awareness, traffic,
traffic campaign, lead, um, objective
234
00:14:37,718 --> 00:14:39,838
conversions is because the people.
235
00:14:40,423 --> 00:14:44,553
They target to take that particular
action at different people.
236
00:14:45,073 --> 00:14:47,813
The person who sign up for a lead
is going to be different from a
237
00:14:47,813 --> 00:14:49,693
person who actually spends money.
238
00:14:49,713 --> 00:14:50,503
Although I do both.
239
00:14:50,553 --> 00:14:53,693
Um, my profile on Facebook, I do both.
240
00:14:53,723 --> 00:14:54,723
I do both.
241
00:14:54,993 --> 00:14:56,413
I'm not an engagement person.
242
00:14:57,673 --> 00:15:01,273
I'm not a person, but I
would, I would be a buyer.
243
00:15:01,663 --> 00:15:03,283
That's how Facebook has profiled me.
244
00:15:03,683 --> 00:15:05,993
So they'll show me ads
for buying to buy things.
245
00:15:06,693 --> 00:15:08,233
I buy things.
246
00:15:08,773 --> 00:15:11,903
Um, but there are other people
who would go on Facebook and
247
00:15:12,063 --> 00:15:13,513
what they love to do is engage.
248
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:18,063
They love to comment and post, write
comments, like, do all that kind of
249
00:15:18,063 --> 00:15:19,433
activity, but they're not buyers.
250
00:15:19,723 --> 00:15:20,843
They're more like tire kickers.
251
00:15:21,763 --> 00:15:25,813
And there are people who like to
download free stuff, freebie seekers.
252
00:15:26,363 --> 00:15:28,603
They would go in and put in
the details and they will never
253
00:15:28,603 --> 00:15:30,463
buy and they'll never engage.
254
00:15:31,073 --> 00:15:35,283
So when I'm, I'm telling you, if
it's anything else you take away from
255
00:15:35,283 --> 00:15:40,383
this podcast, you can never go and
say you're going to run a lead ad
256
00:15:40,383 --> 00:15:45,553
campaign with the intention of the
person to buy because they'll never
257
00:15:45,553 --> 00:15:47,033
buy because they're freebie seekers.
258
00:15:47,623 --> 00:15:50,313
If it is, you run a lead ad
campaign, Facebook will only target
259
00:15:50,313 --> 00:15:51,783
people who are freebie seekers.
260
00:15:52,233 --> 00:15:53,693
And that's why you're
not getting any sales.
261
00:15:54,063 --> 00:15:57,093
If it is you're running a conversion
campaign, Facebook will target buyers,
262
00:15:57,093 --> 00:15:58,383
people who've bought in the past.
263
00:15:58,773 --> 00:16:01,883
They have a buyer profile and the
likelihood of them spending money with
264
00:16:01,883 --> 00:16:08,483
you is much higher than people are freebie
seekers
or just people who like to engage.
265
00:16:09,633 --> 00:16:11,823
I mean, I'm going to just
sit with that for a second.
266
00:16:12,303 --> 00:16:14,773
It might be the most mind
blowing thing you've heard all
267
00:16:14,843 --> 00:16:16,393
day, all year, all century.
268
00:16:17,038 --> 00:16:20,148
But that is the reason why maybe
in the past you've run Facebook
269
00:16:20,178 --> 00:16:24,488
ads and got no results because your
targeting was off or your messaging
270
00:16:24,488 --> 00:16:25,708
was off or your audience was off.
271
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:30,168
But if your targeting is off, in other
words, you run, um, leader campaigns or
272
00:16:30,168 --> 00:16:33,358
winners campaigns and you got no results
and you were hoping to get buyers.
273
00:16:33,878 --> 00:16:34,608
That's because.
274
00:16:35,043 --> 00:16:36,703
Facebook is not targeting buyers.
275
00:16:38,433 --> 00:16:41,273
All right, let's get back
into the stream of things.
276
00:16:41,663 --> 00:16:45,393
So a good starting point is to allocate
one third of your budget to what's
277
00:16:45,473 --> 00:16:50,243
like lookalike audiences, something I
covered probably a couple of years back.
278
00:16:50,413 --> 00:16:51,863
You're gonna have to
dig to find that one up.
279
00:16:51,893 --> 00:16:55,433
I'll include a link in the show notes,
lookalike audiences, which will help
280
00:16:55,503 --> 00:17:00,123
you Quickly build an audience lookalike
audiences are based on existing customers
281
00:17:00,123 --> 00:17:04,883
who can be sure that you're connecting
with people who are Likely interested in
282
00:17:04,883 --> 00:17:09,203
your product or service in other words
say for example I run a campaign that's a
283
00:17:09,203 --> 00:17:13,763
lead ad campaign or a conversion campaign
and I got 50 people to buy 100 people to
284
00:17:13,763 --> 00:17:19,633
buy What I do then is a download a list
of those buyers upload it into Facebook
285
00:17:19,703 --> 00:17:22,323
She can do this by the way didn't know
that if you didn't know that you can
286
00:17:22,323 --> 00:17:27,063
upload your list of buyers into Facebook
and ask Facebook to generate A lookalike
287
00:17:27,063 --> 00:17:31,793
audience from those profile of buyers,
and then you can run ads using that
288
00:17:31,813 --> 00:17:36,363
audience that lookalike audience to buy
whatever it is you want them to buy next.
289
00:17:36,783 --> 00:17:41,233
Okay, so many nuggets, I know, and
I just, we have this amount of time.
290
00:17:41,243 --> 00:17:41,863
Let's keep going.
291
00:17:42,373 --> 00:17:45,213
So with another third of your budget,
you can target interests and behaviors,
292
00:17:45,233 --> 00:17:48,393
which will ensure you're reaching the
people who are likely to take action.
293
00:17:48,673 --> 00:17:52,783
This could be anything from people who
are recently moved house, avid gamers.
294
00:17:53,338 --> 00:17:59,918
To people who, um, recently bought a
lead, uh, a small item or who bought a
295
00:17:59,918 --> 00:18:03,908
Gucci bag or, you know, whatever it is
you want to do, um, you can target that.
296
00:18:04,288 --> 00:18:07,858
And then finally, your last third of
the budget should be used for targeting
297
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:11,488
retargeting campaigns, which allow
you to reach out to people who have
298
00:18:11,498 --> 00:18:13,228
already interacted with your business.
299
00:18:14,088 --> 00:18:16,898
Um, so this can work for any.
300
00:18:17,948 --> 00:18:21,768
So right now I'm, I'm
running a lead ads campaign.
301
00:18:21,798 --> 00:18:27,098
I can build a lookalike audience with
anybody who completed, um, signed up for
302
00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:33,358
my lead magnet, and then I could, um, run
Facebook ads to that local, that group
303
00:18:33,358 --> 00:18:34,968
of lookalike people, if that makes sense.
304
00:18:35,718 --> 00:18:40,068
Um, This is a great way to drive
conversions, maximize your ad spend.
305
00:18:40,068 --> 00:18:44,378
So there you have it, a strategic way
to distribute your Facebook ad spend.
306
00:18:45,138 --> 00:18:48,478
Another way to retarget, uh, sorry,
retargeting campaign is to target
307
00:18:48,478 --> 00:18:55,118
people who, who would, who saw
your ad, but did not take action.
308
00:18:56,398 --> 00:19:01,348
So whether the ad for a lead magnet
or maybe something to buy, you just
309
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:04,598
remind them because people are busy,
you know, they were about to sign
310
00:19:04,598 --> 00:19:06,998
up and then something distracted
them or they were about to do
311
00:19:06,998 --> 00:19:08,248
some, you know, whatever it is.
312
00:19:10,058 --> 00:19:10,808
Now let's keep going.
313
00:19:11,308 --> 00:19:15,578
You can start a small
campaign with just 1 a day.
314
00:19:15,708 --> 00:19:20,538
You can start a small budget of
just 1 a day You can experiment with
315
00:19:20,558 --> 00:19:24,998
different ads, find out what works
for your target audience, and slowly
316
00:19:25,018 --> 00:19:26,238
increase your budget as you go.
317
00:19:26,358 --> 00:19:28,078
Again, it's not necessarily 1 a day.
318
00:19:28,178 --> 00:19:29,628
I think the minimum is 1.
319
00:19:29,698 --> 00:19:30,608
27.
320
00:19:31,688 --> 00:19:39,598
Depending on the type of, um, objective
that you are using or you're running with.
321
00:19:39,948 --> 00:19:40,318
Okay.
322
00:19:40,798 --> 00:19:43,498
Plus you don't have to
commit a long term contract.
323
00:19:43,558 --> 00:19:46,588
You can pay as you go and
adjust your budget at any time.
324
00:19:46,988 --> 00:19:51,788
However, do bear in mind that conversion
campaigns have a higher cost when
325
00:19:51,788 --> 00:19:53,808
compared to lead generation objectives.
326
00:19:55,168 --> 00:19:55,698
So in other words, 1.
327
00:19:55,698 --> 00:20:00,038
27 would probably not cut
it for conversion campaigns.
328
00:20:00,038 --> 00:20:07,248
You probably need 5 a day, but video
views,
Facebook like campaigns,
329
00:20:07,278 --> 00:20:10,648
engagement campaigns, anything like
that, you can probably get a 1.
330
00:20:10,758 --> 00:20:12,038
27 a day.
331
00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:17,278
Because, and the reason why it's not that
Facebook is being stingy or whatever.
332
00:20:17,278 --> 00:20:21,968
It's just that the competition at that
level for that particular objective,
333
00:20:22,018 --> 00:20:25,108
for that audience, the demand is high.
334
00:20:25,168 --> 00:20:27,548
So you have to have a
significant amount of money.
335
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:32,833
And to bid to bid or bid your competitors.
336
00:20:32,873 --> 00:20:33,723
That's the only reason.
337
00:20:34,463 --> 00:20:34,873
Okay.
338
00:20:35,843 --> 00:20:37,283
And number four, I
believe it's number four.
339
00:20:37,373 --> 00:20:38,023
I'm starting to lose count.
340
00:20:38,473 --> 00:20:41,263
The learning phase with
50 conversions per week.
341
00:20:42,343 --> 00:20:47,173
Now, apparently this is no longer a
thing, but I can attest because even
342
00:20:47,173 --> 00:20:52,033
this past week I run a campaign or
even because the learning is at the.
343
00:20:52,313 --> 00:20:53,743
It's actually at the ad set level.
344
00:20:54,283 --> 00:20:59,693
So at the ad set level, and
yes, they waited 50 conversions.
345
00:20:59,703 --> 00:21:02,903
They keep saying, people keep saying,
Oh, it's not necessarily a thing.
346
00:21:03,423 --> 00:21:05,073
They don't really follow it anymore.
347
00:21:05,553 --> 00:21:09,353
And they don't publicly tell
you what is a new thing.
348
00:21:09,623 --> 00:21:13,183
So just as take it at 50, 50
conversions per week is still.
349
00:21:14,663 --> 00:21:15,603
The requirement.
350
00:21:15,633 --> 00:21:20,553
Okay, so figuring out how to run
effective Facebook ads can be a daunting
351
00:21:20,553 --> 00:21:24,363
task, and one of the biggest hurdles
is getting past that learning phase.
352
00:21:25,148 --> 00:21:28,398
Where you likely spend a
lot of money with no return.
353
00:21:29,098 --> 00:21:31,358
Um, right.
354
00:21:31,868 --> 00:21:34,068
Just trying to think if it's a, if it's
a good place to talk about a learning
355
00:21:34,218 --> 00:21:38,098
phase real quick, and I've, I believe
there is a podcast episode that handles
356
00:21:38,098 --> 00:21:41,568
the learning phase, um, learning phase.
357
00:21:41,608 --> 00:21:41,898
Okay.
358
00:21:41,958 --> 00:21:45,028
Let me just go through this
particular section to ensure you
359
00:21:45,028 --> 00:21:48,058
get the Facebook ad campaigns is
important to set a tangible goal.
360
00:21:48,408 --> 00:21:50,988
A good place to start is aiming
for 50 conversions per week.
361
00:21:51,478 --> 00:21:54,968
This will give you a baseline
number to measure your success
362
00:21:55,178 --> 00:21:56,668
and help you get better results.
363
00:21:57,803 --> 00:22:02,083
How much to spend with some trial and
error, you'll be able to identify an easy,
364
00:22:02,303 --> 00:22:04,923
easy way to reach 50 conversions per week.
365
00:22:05,053 --> 00:22:09,743
After that scaling up your ad spend
to get even more conversions is a
366
00:22:09,743 --> 00:22:14,673
matter of tweaking your ad spend
content, content and targeting.
367
00:22:15,243 --> 00:22:18,293
So don't be afraid to take
the plunge and reach for those
368
00:22:18,343 --> 00:22:20,073
50 conversions per week goal.
369
00:22:20,513 --> 00:22:22,213
However, keep an eye on
your conversion rate.
370
00:22:22,523 --> 00:22:26,393
Also your learning page and ad
creatives can have a significant effect.
371
00:22:26,773 --> 00:22:28,983
On your total confusions per week.
372
00:22:30,103 --> 00:22:32,093
Now I can address, now is a good
time to address the learning phase.
373
00:22:32,493 --> 00:22:36,813
So Facebook has this thing called
a learning phase and basically, um,
374
00:22:37,143 --> 00:22:38,593
let's, let's go with the lead ads.
375
00:22:38,593 --> 00:22:40,113
Conversion is much harder to get.
376
00:22:40,743 --> 00:22:42,173
Let's go to lead ad campaigns.
377
00:22:42,603 --> 00:22:49,063
Um, if it is you're running a lead ad
campaign, like using the lead form on
378
00:22:49,073 --> 00:22:55,833
Facebook itself, Facebook will run that
campaign for a week to make sure you
379
00:22:55,833 --> 00:23:00,998
get 50 conversions or 50 leads before
they take you from that learning phase.
380
00:23:01,258 --> 00:23:07,008
Into just active sometimes in your
campaign or in your, in your ad set, you
381
00:23:07,008 --> 00:23:08,928
were going to see, um, living limited.
382
00:23:08,928 --> 00:23:12,888
So that means you didn't actually achieve
that goal of 50 conversions a week.
383
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:16,278
And I know, I know there's big, even
Facebook is saying they no longer
384
00:23:16,388 --> 00:23:18,038
have a required of 50 conversions.
385
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:24,758
Um, per week, but with me, I'm, as
I'm recording this, they do, they do.
386
00:23:24,758 --> 00:23:29,728
I've just, I've just literally started
a campaign and yep, they waited for 50
387
00:23:29,758 --> 00:23:33,818
conversions and it was taking extremely
long for them to say, well, I say, okay,
388
00:23:33,818 --> 00:23:39,518
maybe at 20, maybe at 30, maybe at 40, no,
at 50 conversions, my, my, um, I'd said
389
00:23:39,528 --> 00:23:45,638
went out of, um, learning into active,
which is a bit strange, but any, um,
390
00:23:45,838 --> 00:23:48,768
and the, the, the goal is to get to 50.
391
00:23:49,658 --> 00:23:54,448
In saying that, and again, this is all
explained in the podcast that I did
392
00:23:54,448 --> 00:23:59,118
about lead ad course in saying that
it is better for you to run the camp,
393
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:08,808
the campaign, the ad set, the ad for,
um, for, uh, three days, 72 hours.
394
00:24:09,708 --> 00:24:10,478
Exactly.
395
00:24:11,248 --> 00:24:16,108
And if you're not getting any results, and
if all of your key
performance indicators,
396
00:24:16,158 --> 00:24:22,138
like your CTR and your CTR all are below
average, again, this is explained in
397
00:24:22,148 --> 00:24:25,818
the lead, lead ad course, um, podcasts.
398
00:24:26,183 --> 00:24:31,233
If it's below average or, or the
numbers I've given, then pretty
399
00:24:31,233 --> 00:24:34,663
please consider switching off that ad.
400
00:24:36,123 --> 00:24:38,103
When I say below, I mean
significantly below.
401
00:24:38,108 --> 00:24:44,343
Say for example, instead of big being 2%,
it's 1.1 0.9%, then that's not very low.
402
00:24:44,523 --> 00:24:47,843
You might leave it for another day to see
if it'll get up high, or if it's supposed
403
00:24:47,843 --> 00:24:54,323
to be 4% and it's at 3.98% or 3.9%, then
it's, it's a little more unusual, but
404
00:24:54,353 --> 00:24:58,698
maybe with another D, and if it's after
four days, It still is quite below, then
405
00:24:58,718 --> 00:25:03,038
you need to switch off that ad or make
the necessary tweaks as I suggested.
406
00:25:03,078 --> 00:25:03,858
Add a new copy.
407
00:25:04,238 --> 00:25:06,298
The creative or the audience is wrong.
408
00:25:07,058 --> 00:25:10,068
And then go again, put in a
new, put in a new creative and
409
00:25:10,108 --> 00:25:11,228
test it again and keep going.
410
00:25:11,938 --> 00:25:12,278
Okay.
411
00:25:12,338 --> 00:25:14,758
This is the reason why people
hire Facebook ads manager because
412
00:25:14,918 --> 00:25:16,288
it can be a pain in the butt.
413
00:25:16,758 --> 00:25:21,178
To get all of the things lined up to
perform the way you want it to perform.
414
00:25:21,428 --> 00:25:22,838
But this podcast is not about that.
415
00:25:23,168 --> 00:25:24,868
It's all about how much money to spend.
416
00:25:25,048 --> 00:25:25,458
Okay.
417
00:25:25,808 --> 00:25:28,138
So how does scale to
20 per day per ad set?
418
00:25:28,668 --> 00:25:32,348
With the right strategy, you can scale
your ad spend 20 a day per ad set.
419
00:25:32,348 --> 00:25:36,628
This means that you could be
spending 20 a day on each ad set with
420
00:25:36,688 --> 00:25:39,858
potentially unlimited returns, but
don't jump into this too quickly.
421
00:25:39,878 --> 00:25:44,218
You need to have a plan in place to
ensure that you are spending money wisely.
422
00:25:45,388 --> 00:25:48,658
To start, you should have a clear
understanding of your target
423
00:25:48,688 --> 00:25:51,768
audience and the type of ads
that will be most effective.
424
00:25:51,788 --> 00:25:56,518
Once you have that data, you can
create a budget and experiment with
425
00:25:57,068 --> 00:25:59,598
different ad sets and spending levels.
426
00:25:59,658 --> 00:26:03,498
You can then adjust your spending
levels according to performance.
427
00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:10,068
Now, the rule of thumb is you should
increase your budget by 20% every
428
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:11,608
two or three days, I believe it is.
429
00:26:12,323 --> 00:26:14,413
Don't go from 20 a day.
430
00:26:14,653 --> 00:26:14,923
Do it.
431
00:26:15,093 --> 00:26:15,473
Do it.
432
00:26:15,713 --> 00:26:19,043
Um, that's why it's called scaling ads.
433
00:26:19,493 --> 00:26:23,953
Scaling means you're sliding that
scale ever so slightly every couple
434
00:26:23,953 --> 00:26:26,583
of days and you're not doing jumping.
435
00:26:26,583 --> 00:26:29,123
That's why it's not called jumping.
436
00:26:29,363 --> 00:26:30,593
It's called scaling ads.
437
00:26:31,743 --> 00:26:31,983
Okay.
438
00:26:31,983 --> 00:26:32,983
I believe this is number six.
439
00:26:32,983 --> 00:26:35,493
Number six, identify your
winning ad set and scale more.
440
00:26:36,463 --> 00:26:37,888
So identify your winning ad set.
441
00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,958
Scaling more is essential
to success on the platform.
442
00:26:40,968 --> 00:26:41,678
That's the next thing as well.
443
00:26:41,678 --> 00:26:45,638
If you don't scale, then the
results can, it can get stagnant.
444
00:26:45,658 --> 00:26:48,968
And if you don't do different ads, you
know, there's so many different things.
445
00:26:48,978 --> 00:26:52,888
Anyhow, with a successful ad set,
you will be able to get more out
446
00:26:52,888 --> 00:26:56,218
of your ad budget and maximize
your, your return on investment.
447
00:26:57,018 --> 00:26:59,828
To identify winning ad sets, you
should start by testing with different
448
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,818
creatives and targeting objectives.
449
00:27:02,328 --> 00:27:06,288
Once you find a winner, you
can then scale your budget and
450
00:27:06,288 --> 00:27:08,213
increase the reach of your ads.
451
00:27:08,993 --> 00:27:13,463
Play close attention to your Facebook
ad campaign metrics and optimize
452
00:27:13,513 --> 00:27:15,183
ad sets that are performing well.
453
00:27:16,713 --> 00:27:18,893
I believe this is number
8, could be 7 or 8.
454
00:27:19,183 --> 00:27:21,393
Always have a return
on investment in mind.
455
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:25,133
Whenever you decide to spend
money on marketing, always have
456
00:27:25,133 --> 00:27:26,513
a return on investment in mind.
457
00:27:26,903 --> 00:27:30,823
This means that you should, for every
dollar you spend, you should be getting
458
00:27:30,823 --> 00:27:34,203
back X amount of dollars from your sales.
459
00:27:34,533 --> 00:27:36,273
And of course, if it's a lead
ad campaign, then you wouldn't
460
00:27:36,273 --> 00:27:38,433
have sales per se straight away.
461
00:27:38,433 --> 00:27:41,893
Like on the one side, you'll have the
leads in your email list, and then you
462
00:27:41,893 --> 00:27:46,263
will then have other ways in once you
know to them and then get them to buy
463
00:27:46,263 --> 00:27:47,233
whatever it is you want them to buy.
464
00:27:47,923 --> 00:27:50,303
So how much you should spend on
Facebook ads should always depend
465
00:27:50,313 --> 00:27:53,243
on the return on investment you
expect to get from, from them.
466
00:27:53,793 --> 00:27:59,063
Of course you can run upsells once
you, once you have a lead ad campaign
467
00:27:59,063 --> 00:28:02,703
running, you can have upsells
that will cover the ad course.
468
00:28:04,008 --> 00:28:09,338
Okay, so the first trick in this whole
thing is to find a really good lead magnet
469
00:28:09,628 --> 00:28:11,108
or freebie that you want to give away.
470
00:28:12,088 --> 00:28:15,388
And then after it's up, they've taken the
freebie, you need to find something that
471
00:28:15,408 --> 00:28:17,698
really converts in terms of an upsell.
472
00:28:18,968 --> 00:28:21,768
So it's a kind of a staging
process when it comes to lead ads.
473
00:28:22,248 --> 00:28:24,898
And then once you find that winning
one, then you can run an ad directly
474
00:28:24,918 --> 00:28:27,038
to that, whatever that upsell is.
475
00:28:27,398 --> 00:28:29,278
It could be something small like 7.
476
00:28:29,713 --> 00:28:35,493
9, 27, something small that doesn't
require a whole lot of, um, commitment
477
00:28:35,493 --> 00:28:38,583
or thinking on the person's part that
they can just quickly just buy it.
478
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:42,483
So how much you spend on Facebook ads
should always depend on the return on
479
00:28:42,483 --> 00:28:43,863
investment you expect to get from them.
480
00:28:43,863 --> 00:28:45,873
Of course, the amount you
spend on Facebook ads should
481
00:28:45,913 --> 00:28:46,973
also depend on your budget.
482
00:28:47,433 --> 00:28:49,503
Setting a budget and
sticking to it is a must.
483
00:28:49,858 --> 00:28:53,058
When it comes to online advertising,
but you should also make sure that the
484
00:28:53,058 --> 00:28:58,478
budget you have set is realistic and
achievable that way you can ensure that
485
00:28:58,588 --> 00:29:03,988
you're always getting a good return on
investment five things to avoid when
486
00:29:03,988 --> 00:29:08,718
spending money on Facebook, because it
can get really, really, really addictive.
487
00:29:10,658 --> 00:29:11,868
Here are the five things you need to do.
488
00:29:12,408 --> 00:29:13,128
You need to.
489
00:29:13,733 --> 00:29:16,633
So, um, consider number
one, not spending enough.
490
00:29:17,193 --> 00:29:20,733
So spending enough is one of the biggest
things to avoid when spending on ads, the
491
00:29:20,743 --> 00:29:22,703
cost of Facebook ads can quickly add up.
492
00:29:23,013 --> 00:29:25,853
So it's important to budget for your
campaign goals, but it's also important
493
00:29:25,863 --> 00:29:27,453
to spend enough to see results.
494
00:29:27,483 --> 00:29:31,273
So if you don't spend enough, your ads
may not get the reach or engagement.
495
00:29:31,273 --> 00:29:31,533
They need.
496
00:29:31,533 --> 00:29:37,883
So if you have, if all you have to spend
on Facebook ads is 5 in total, then please
497
00:29:37,893 --> 00:29:39,233
do not spend the money on Facebook ads.
498
00:29:39,603 --> 00:29:41,443
If you've got 5 a day, which is about.
499
00:29:41,883 --> 00:29:43,003
150
a month.
500
00:29:43,553 --> 00:29:44,483
150 to 200 a month.
501
00:29:44,843 --> 00:29:46,103
That that is workable.
502
00:29:46,103 --> 00:29:47,733
You can work with that amount of money.
503
00:29:48,703 --> 00:29:57,523
You can probably run, run the ads for 20
days or 10, uh, 30 days consecutively,
504
00:29:58,023 --> 00:30:00,923
10 a day, 300 a day, 300 a month.
505
00:30:00,923 --> 00:30:04,273
So between 150 and 300
a month, it's a good.
506
00:30:04,908 --> 00:30:10,668
Um, a good ballpark in terms of budget
too often businesses fail to invest enough
507
00:30:10,698 --> 00:30:14,958
in their facebook ads campaign resulting
in Many more returns the key is to set a
508
00:30:14,958 --> 00:30:19,808
realistic budget and adjust it as needed
number two quitting too soon Quitting too
509
00:30:19,808 --> 00:30:23,378
soon is one of the biggest things of void
when spending on facebook ads It's easy
510
00:30:23,378 --> 00:30:27,443
to become discouraged when you're not
seeing results you want right away But
511
00:30:27,443 --> 00:30:30,923
it's important to remember that it takes
time and effort to see success before
512
00:30:30,923 --> 00:30:34,993
you give up, make sure you're given,
you've given your campaign a fair chance.
513
00:30:35,443 --> 00:30:38,223
You may need to adjust your
strategy or tweak your targeting
514
00:30:38,233 --> 00:30:39,383
to get the results you want.
515
00:30:39,863 --> 00:30:41,263
It's also important to be patient.
516
00:30:41,313 --> 00:30:42,643
Results don't come overnight.
517
00:30:42,923 --> 00:30:44,453
Don't be afraid to experiment.
518
00:30:44,933 --> 00:30:47,573
Okay, at number three, I believe it is.
519
00:30:47,573 --> 00:30:48,483
I'm sorry.
520
00:30:48,483 --> 00:30:51,543
I just keep starting to lose count
without, um, paying attention.
521
00:30:52,823 --> 00:30:55,383
Number three, choosing the wrong
type of campaign or objective.
522
00:30:55,643 --> 00:30:58,423
Biggie, like I was mentioning
earlier, one of the most common
523
00:30:58,423 --> 00:31:02,793
mistakes choosing is choosing the
wrong type of campaign and objective.
524
00:31:03,103 --> 00:31:06,073
When selecting your campaign
type, you should make sure
525
00:31:06,073 --> 00:31:07,993
it aligns with your goals.
526
00:31:08,368 --> 00:31:11,008
For example, if your goal is to
increase brand awareness, then a
527
00:31:11,008 --> 00:31:13,838
reach campaign would be appropriate.
528
00:31:13,968 --> 00:31:16,148
If your goal is to generate
sales, then a conversion
529
00:31:16,148 --> 00:31:17,508
campaign would be more suitable.
530
00:31:18,078 --> 00:31:23,038
You should choose an objective that
is directly related to the action you
531
00:31:23,038 --> 00:31:27,788
want people to take, such as clicking
on a link or making a purchase.
532
00:31:28,228 --> 00:31:33,528
Making the wrong choice can result in
your ad not being seen by the right people
533
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,198
or not achieving the desired results.
534
00:31:35,288 --> 00:31:39,868
Like I mentioned earlier, freebie seekers
are not the people who are buyers.
535
00:31:39,948 --> 00:31:43,058
So when you choose a campaign type
of leads and you want people to buy,
536
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,488
that's the wrong campaign type because
Facebook will only show your, your,
537
00:31:46,608 --> 00:31:48,768
your thing that they want them to buy.
538
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:53,288
To, um, freebie seekers and freebie
seekers just wouldn't buy your stuff.
539
00:31:54,808 --> 00:31:55,188
Okay.
540
00:31:55,268 --> 00:31:56,578
Not analyzing the data.
541
00:31:56,768 --> 00:32:00,408
So analyzing the data is one of the
most important things to do when
542
00:32:00,408 --> 00:32:06,598
spending money on Facebook ads, not
just not going, sorry, not doing.
543
00:32:06,598 --> 00:32:09,138
So can result in a huge
waste of time and money.
544
00:32:09,738 --> 00:32:12,808
It's essential to understand your
data in order to gain insights,
545
00:32:12,838 --> 00:32:16,908
make adjustments and optimize your
campaigns without analyzing the data
546
00:32:16,938 --> 00:32:19,618
collected from your ads, you won't know.
547
00:32:20,118 --> 00:32:21,848
What's working and what's not.
548
00:32:22,478 --> 00:32:25,478
You won't be able to identify
patterns which can help you
549
00:32:25,478 --> 00:32:27,508
better target your audience.
550
00:32:28,048 --> 00:32:31,668
If you're not analyzing the data,
you'd be blindly spending on ads
551
00:32:31,678 --> 00:32:34,618
without any real understanding
of what's driving your results.
552
00:32:34,628 --> 00:32:36,488
So it's important to
set aside time each day.
553
00:32:37,358 --> 00:32:40,158
Or each week to review your
data and make adjustments.
554
00:32:40,178 --> 00:32:45,538
If you're brand new, you do it every
day, but if it is you, you're a seasoned,
555
00:32:45,638 --> 00:32:50,728
like not seasoned, but you you've run
different campaigns before, then you, you,
556
00:32:50,798 --> 00:32:52,578
you'll every week, you'll set aside time.
557
00:32:53,168 --> 00:32:55,678
To go and analyze all of
the different campaigns.
558
00:32:56,738 --> 00:32:57,178
Okay.
559
00:32:57,828 --> 00:33:01,368
Not calculating the marginal,
marginal profitability.
560
00:33:02,378 --> 00:33:04,638
Another important thing to
avoid when spending money on
561
00:33:04,648 --> 00:33:08,578
Facebook ads is calculating the
marginal profit, profitability.
562
00:33:09,288 --> 00:33:12,728
It's easy to get lost in the glitz
and glamour of ads and be tempted
563
00:33:12,728 --> 00:33:13,738
to spend more than you need.
564
00:33:14,423 --> 00:33:18,003
But if you don't pay attention to marginal
profitability for a few ads, you could
565
00:33:18,003 --> 00:33:21,483
end up overspending and not seeing
return on investment that you wanted.
566
00:33:21,983 --> 00:33:25,663
Marginal profitability refers to the
rate at which your profits increase
567
00:33:25,723 -->
00:33:28,913
or decrease with each additional
dollar you spend on the campaign.
568
00:33:29,033 --> 00:33:32,413
Calculating it will help you make
sure you're spending your money
569
00:33:32,423 --> 00:33:35,183
wisely and not wasting your budget.
570
00:33:35,833 --> 00:33:39,773
So here is a marginal
profitability example.
571
00:33:40,583 --> 00:33:44,723
Um, let's say you are running a
conversion campaign for a small item
572
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:46,623
like a digital planner price at 17.
573
00:33:47,793 --> 00:33:51,423
Initially, you were getting conversions
when you were spending 20 a day.
574
00:33:51,923 --> 00:33:56,173
However, over time you increased
your budget $35 a day, and this is
575
00:33:56,173 --> 00:34:00,113
what has happened at $20 a day, you
are getting three sales a day, but
576
00:34:00,393 --> 00:34:04,083
after you increase your budget's $35
a day, you now make four sales a day.
577
00:34:05,583 --> 00:34:10,103
Doing the math, you realize that
$20, at $20 a day, you're making
578
00:34:10,653 --> 00:34:17,743
$51 a day, but your budget, but a
budget of $35 a day yields, uh, the,
579
00:34:17,743 --> 00:34:20,293
in terms of money spent $68 a day.
580
00:34:20,813 --> 00:34:27,953
So when you do the math in terms of
profitability, um, the R o I ON $20 a day.
581
00:34:28,603 --> 00:34:39,173
It's 21 and the ROI and 35 a day when
you do the math, it's 31, but when
582
00:34:39,173 --> 00:34:43,233
they look at it from a, like from a
10, 000 foot view, you're better off.
583
00:34:44,198 --> 00:34:49,488
Um, yeah, you're better
off spending 37, sorry.
584
00:34:49,798 --> 00:34:53,568
You're better off spending money,
lowering your budget back to 20 a day
585
00:34:53,588 --> 00:34:59,628
because profitability margin is much
better at 20 a day when you spend
586
00:34:59,628 --> 00:35:02,978
on, when your budget is 20 35 a day.
587
00:35:04,358 --> 00:35:05,638
Okay, does that make sense?
588
00:35:05,918 --> 00:35:13,438
So in other words, 68, I'll do a quick
math while I'm on this thing, 68 minus
589
00:35:13,568 --> 00:35:20,993
35 is 33 So you're marginally making 2
extra for a much higher budget compared
590
00:35:20,993 --> 00:35:24,583
to 20 a day, which when you're making
31 a day, so you see the difference.
591
00:35:24,853 --> 00:35:28,003
In other words, you've increased
your budget by 15 and you're
592
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:30,153
only making 2 more a day.
593
00:35:31,913 --> 00:35:35,783
So definitely you need to like, that is
why it's so important to look at the ads.
594
00:35:36,368 --> 00:35:41,648
Yes, you're making money, but which
one is giving you more profit in
595
00:35:41,728 --> 00:35:43,378
terms of, you know, the breakdown?
596
00:35:44,648 --> 00:35:45,058
Okay.
597
00:35:45,738 --> 00:35:50,478
The other option then, if it is you want
to stay at 35 a day, I don't know why
598
00:35:50,478 --> 00:35:54,028
you would, but just in case, let's say
for argument's sake, you're probably
599
00:35:54,028 --> 00:35:56,598
getting higher quality leads at 35 a day.
600
00:35:57,148 --> 00:36:00,488
The other option then is a set
set up an upsell in the back end.
601
00:36:00,498 --> 00:36:05,348
So for example, when they buy the digital
planner for 17 a day, you might want to
602
00:36:05,358 --> 00:36:07,658
sell them something else on the back end.
603
00:36:08,388 --> 00:36:14,688
Um, maybe, um, so someone who buys a
planner, maybe an ebook or some other.
604
00:36:15,333 --> 00:36:20,593
Thing some kind of other digital thing
stickers to go with, um, to go with
605
00:36:20,593 --> 00:36:24,833
the planner or, you know, something
else, um, you fill up a pages.
606
00:36:24,833 --> 00:36:25,743
I don't know something else.
607
00:36:25,743 --> 00:36:28,623
I'm not a professional digital
planners, as you can tell, but
608
00:36:28,623 --> 00:36:29,923
something else in the back end.
609
00:36:30,083 --> 00:36:35,383
So in other words, something for 27
or something for 37 that will actually
610
00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:38,703
give you a higher return on investment.
611
00:36:39,288 --> 00:36:40,248
If it is, you want to do that.
612
00:36:40,278 --> 00:36:41,768
You can even do it at 20 a day as well.
613
00:36:41,778 --> 00:36:43,738
You can upsell on the
back end at 20 a day.
614
00:36:44,778 --> 00:36:45,188
Okay.
615
00:36:45,218 --> 00:36:46,778
Hopefully that made sense.
616
00:36:47,478 --> 00:36:47,728
Ooh.
617
00:36:48,018 --> 00:36:48,388
Okay.
618
00:36:48,478 --> 00:36:51,498
So how much to actually
spend on Facebook ads?
619
00:36:51,508 --> 00:36:54,098
Here is my real life example.
620
00:36:54,718 --> 00:36:57,328
So recently I wanted to test a
lead magnet and I created a use,
621
00:36:57,548 --> 00:36:59,488
created and I create and use it.
622
00:36:59,768 --> 00:37:02,448
As a basis for growing my email
list, because people do lead
623
00:37:02,448 --> 00:37:03,368
markets for growing an email list.
624
00:37:03,418 --> 00:37:07,378
I've done that for years organically
and managed to grow an email list of a
625
00:37:07,378 --> 00:37:11,888
thousand, um, a thousand, over a thousand.
626
00:37:13,028 --> 00:37:14,008
What's the word I'm looking for?
627
00:37:14,018 --> 00:37:14,388
Sorry.
628
00:37:16,248 --> 00:37:18,478
I've literally grown my list
over a thousand subscribers.
629
00:37:18,498 --> 00:37:19,188
That's what I'm looking for.
630
00:37:19,338 --> 00:37:20,768
My goodness, I've gone blank.
631
00:37:21,728 --> 00:37:21,738
Anywho.
632
00:37:22,518 --> 00:37:24,848
Um, so that's what I've done organically.
633
00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:27,588
And it takes you a good while
to build a list of a thousand
634
00:37:28,878 --> 00:37:29,988
subscribers consistently.
635
00:37:31,268 --> 00:37:31,658
Okay.
636
00:37:31,748 --> 00:37:32,898
So like any entrepreneur.
637
00:37:33,373 --> 00:37:35,013
That's, uh, organically.
638
00:37:35,563 --> 00:37:37,213
So now we're going to look
at how I'm going to do it.
639
00:37:39,118 --> 00:37:40,918
using paid sources.
640
00:37:41,828 --> 00:37:44,948
Like any entrepreneur, I have several
options to test the effectiveness
641
00:37:44,948 --> 00:37:48,058
of a lead magnet or freebie.
642
00:37:48,538 --> 00:37:52,968
These options include organic marketing,
so Pinterest, SEO, all of those things,
643
00:37:53,178 --> 00:37:55,178
social media, and paid marketing.
644
00:37:55,868 --> 00:38:00,028
I did not have a lot of time to
use organic marketing, so I opted
645
00:38:00,058 --> 00:38:02,208
in for Facebook lead ads instead.
646
00:38:03,758 --> 00:38:08,658
So with 200 in hand, I decided on
a budget of 10 a day for two weeks.
647
00:38:09,198 --> 00:38:10,608
Here are the results that I got.
648
00:38:11,973 --> 00:38:12,463
100.
649
00:38:12,503 --> 00:38:14,243
I actually have a screenshot
in the show notes.
650
00:38:14,263 --> 00:38:16,013
You can head over to success on scramble.
651
00:38:16,233 --> 00:38:21,193
com forward slash EP two, six,
six, or is it two, two, six?
652
00:38:21,203 --> 00:38:22,313
It's two, two, six, six.
653
00:38:22,553 --> 00:38:23,173
I believe it is.
654
00:38:23,633 --> 00:38:26,163
Um, two, six, six.
655
00:38:26,213 --> 00:38:27,493
I'll tell you in a second.
656
00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:28,913
Yeah, it's two, six, six.
657
00:38:30,303 --> 00:38:31,313
Just wanted to double check.
658
00:38:31,743 --> 00:38:32,153
Okay.
659
00:38:32,693 --> 00:38:33,733
So success on scramble.
660
00:38:33,923 --> 00:38:34,413
com forward slash
661
00:38:40,078 --> 00:38:43,538
I did, I did this, I have actually have
a screenshot here, the breakdowns, you
662
00:38:43,538 --> 00:38:45,448
can see that it's a real life example.
663
00:38:45,458 --> 00:38:46,358
I've done this.
664
00:38:46,778 --> 00:38:52,558
Um, I got 159 leads with an
average cost per lead at 1.
665
00:38:52,558 --> 00:38:52,988
26.
666
00:38:53,168 --> 00:38:58,428
It means that I now have 150 leads
or more people on my email list
667
00:38:58,458 --> 00:38:59,588
or subscribers on my email list.
668
00:39:00,308 --> 00:39:01,028
It might be you.
669
00:39:01,028 --> 00:39:01,518
I don't know.
670
00:39:02,658 --> 00:39:05,918
I'm also running a five day
challenge to see if any of these
671
00:39:05,918 --> 00:39:07,698
will convert into a long term client.
672
00:39:09,043 --> 00:39:13,583
That way, if it is, if I get only
one long term client from this
673
00:39:15,063 --> 00:39:18,683
campaign, it means I've, I've made
back my money on that investment.
674
00:39:19,183 --> 00:39:20,483
Do you see how easy that is?
675
00:39:21,163 --> 00:39:26,333
Whereas if I decided I'm going to do
this in a very slow pace, organically,
676
00:39:26,643 --> 00:39:31,473
social media using SEO, using
Pinterest, it will take me probably
677
00:39:31,633 --> 00:39:34,173
six months to get the same results.
678
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:39,063
Do you think for that for a second, I
just spent 200 now to get 150 leads.
679
00:39:39,528 --> 00:39:43,658
Or I can do all of these things that
take up my time, make up my precious
680
00:39:43,658 --> 00:39:47,138
time to generate that same amount
of leads in a six month period.
681
00:39:47,418 --> 00:39:48,938
Think of how much I could
be doing in that six months.
682
00:39:49,138 --> 00:39:52,078
You probably have questions like
I'm about to share with you here.
683
00:39:52,078 --> 00:39:55,138
Here are some questions people
always ask or sometimes ask
684
00:39:55,138 --> 00:39:56,368
when it comes to Facebook ads.
685
00:39:57,168 --> 00:39:59,778
Is 5 a day enough for Facebook ads?
686
00:40:00,128 --> 00:40:01,488
I get that question all the time.
687
00:40:01,498 --> 00:40:02,908
The answer is yes and no.
688
00:40:02,928 --> 00:40:06,708
It depends on what type of ad you're
running and what your goals are.
689
00:40:06,978 --> 00:40:09,468
For example, if you're just
looking to increase your brand
690
00:40:09,468 --> 00:40:12,688
awareness and reach for people,
then 5 a day is probably enough.
691
00:40:12,698 --> 00:40:16,548
However, if it is you're warming
up your pixel using video view
692
00:40:16,548 --> 00:40:18,323
campaigns, This is going to be enough.
693
00:40:18,763 --> 00:40:21,393
However, if you're looking to
drive more conversions or sales,
694
00:40:21,433 --> 00:40:22,843
you need to spend a bit more.
695
00:40:23,523 --> 00:40:27,283
That said, with 5, you can still
test all different strategies
696
00:40:27,283 --> 00:40:28,463
and see what works best.
697
00:40:28,953 --> 00:40:31,453
Keep an eye on the analytics and
adjust your campaigns accordingly.
698
00:40:32,283 --> 00:40:36,123
You can slowly increase the budget
and get, and get better results.
699
00:40:37,183 --> 00:40:39,993
What is a good daily
budget for Facebook ads?
700
00:40:41,363 --> 00:40:42,643
That's another question people ask.
701
00:40:42,923 --> 00:40:45,403
Figuring out your daily budget
for Facebook ads can be tricky.
702
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:48,133
Your total budget will depend
on your overall marketing goals,
703
00:40:48,133 --> 00:40:49,003
as well as your cash flow.
704
00:40:49,883 --> 00:40:52,873
If you're getting, if you're just
getting started in Facebook ads, a
705
00:40:52,883 --> 00:40:56,043
good rule of thumb is to start with
a minimum budget and then bump it up.
706
00:40:56,093 --> 00:40:59,183
The best budget for Facebook
ads will depend on your goals.
707
00:40:59,773 --> 00:41:03,023
You can start, like I mentioned
before, with my particular campaign.
708
00:41:03,743 --> 00:41:08,368
Um, I did 10 Between 10 and $15 a day.
709
00:41:08,373 --> 00:41:10,258
And I, and sometimes I reduce it down.
710
00:41:11,078 --> 00:41:11,438
Okay.
711
00:41:12,378 --> 00:41:15,798
Uh, another question I didn't normally
get are Facebook ads still worded today?
712
00:41:16,888 --> 00:41:20,238
With so many businesses competing for
customers, advertising on Facebook
713
00:41:20,238 --> 00:41:23,238
has become an
increasingly popular
way to reach potential customers.
714
00:41:23,648 --> 00:41:26,468
But are Facebook ads still
worth in 21st century?
715
00:41:27,068 --> 00:41:31,978
The answer is resulting, yes, Facebook
ads are or offer powerful targeting
716
00:41:31,978 --> 00:41:36,188
options and can be used to re, to reach
a wide range of different audiences.
717
00:41:37,078 --> 00:41:40,358
They are relatively inexpensive
and easy to customize.
718
00:41:40,458 --> 00:41:43,578
So with this, with the right
strategy, it's possible to get
719
00:41:43,958 --> 00:41:45,118
a good return on investment.
720
00:41:45,138 --> 00:41:45,718
Like I did.
721
00:41:46,148 --> 00:41:47,128
I spent 200.
722
00:41:47,128 --> 00:41:48,298
I got 150 leads.
723
00:41:48,958 --> 00:41:49,378
That's good.
724
00:41:50,898 --> 00:41:54,468
So Facebook ads help to reach new
customers and build your brand.
725
00:41:55,168 --> 00:41:57,958
Um, I know I mentioned this in a
previous podcast, but think about it.
726
00:41:57,998 --> 00:42:01,528
If it is really side, I'm going to go,
especially if you have a local business,
727
00:42:02,698 --> 00:42:04,288
This is even much more powerful.
728
00:42:05,178 --> 00:42:05,678
Think about it.
729
00:42:05,678 --> 00:42:12,638
You decide to go in your car to maybe
a network, networking event or a to
730
00:42:12,648 --> 00:42:16,138
go door to door and knocking door to
door and businesses in a small town,
731
00:42:16,728 --> 00:42:18,548
seeing if it is they want your services.
732
00:42:18,988 --> 00:42:19,238
Okay.
733
00:42:19,238 --> 00:42:22,538
Think of them when you spend it, the
money you spend, the time, first your
734
00:42:22,538 --> 00:42:27,268
time to go out there, the money you
spend to put gas in the car and then the
735
00:42:27,268 --> 00:42:29,338
amount of no's you get from doing that.
736
00:42:29,338 --> 00:42:33,138
And you know, you might get
one yes and several no's.
737
00:42:33,918 --> 00:42:35,928
But instead of doing that,
we decide, okay, I'm going
738
00:42:35,928 --> 00:42:37,358
to run Facebook ads instead.
739
00:42:37,438 --> 00:42:40,868
You're going to sit at the comfort of your
home, you open your laptop, computer, you
740
00:42:40,868 --> 00:42:45,178
go in, you set up a Facebook ad campaign,
and you run a local legion, I mean local.
741
00:42:45,728 --> 00:42:51,399
Say you're living in London, you only
want to put in London postcodes, you're
742
00:42:51,399 --> 00:42:51,943
only targeting a really small area.
743
00:42:52,493 --> 00:42:57,833
And I know this because I, I have
local clients as well and I run ads
744
00:42:57,833 --> 00:42:59,683
for them and it's very, very effective.
745
00:43:00,383 --> 00:43:01,033
So easy.
746
00:43:01,173 --> 00:43:04,153
Um, but my, my other
clients are not local.
747
00:43:04,233 --> 00:43:05,803
They, you know, they are global.
748
00:43:06,153 --> 00:43:08,983
So people from all over the
world, I normally get, but for my
749
00:43:09,023 --> 00:43:12,133
clients who have local clients,
super easy for them to get things.
750
00:43:12,143 --> 00:43:14,333
So just remember that, keep that in mind.
751
00:43:14,333 --> 00:43:16,853
You'll 200.
752
00:43:17,638 --> 00:43:22,888
Think of how much time, money, effort,
nose, depression that you've saved by
753
00:43:22,888 --> 00:43:28,938
spending 200 and for one month, say, for
example, you extend that to 500, like I
754
00:43:28,938 --> 00:43:32,888
say, on average, you should, you should
set aside 500 because you'll be testing
755
00:43:33,208 --> 00:43:35,628
differently, add magnets and testing.
756
00:43:35,628 --> 00:43:38,558
So 500 a month is a really good.
757
00:43:39,563 --> 00:43:44,643
Facebook ad budget to test differently,
uh, freebies and to see what works.
758
00:43:44,643 --> 00:43:48,563
And then when you find a winning
one, Oh my goodness, listen to me,
759
00:43:48,573 --> 00:43:50,403
your whole world is going to change.
760
00:43:51,253 --> 00:43:51,713
Okay.
761
00:43:52,053 --> 00:43:55,253
So it is important to know how
much you spend on Facebook ads.
762
00:43:55,263 --> 00:43:58,093
First, you need to set a budget
that you can afford to pay.
763
00:43:58,393 --> 00:44:01,693
Once you have a budget, you can determine
how much is spent on different types
764
00:44:01,693 --> 00:44:05,943
of ads such as boosting posts, running
event campaigns, targeting new years.
765
00:44:06,233 --> 00:44:08,763
Oh, and another trick, another
trick I just remembered.
766
00:44:09,668 --> 00:44:14,408
You can, uh, pause
campaigns for a couple days.
767
00:44:16,333 --> 00:44:20,033
If it is that you want to sort of maintain
a specific budget and then start it
768
00:44:20,093 --> 00:44:23,673
again without losing without having to go
back into learning, if that makes sense,
769
00:44:25,003 --> 00:44:28,613
you can also create audiences for each
type of ad, analyze how much you should
770
00:44:28,753 --> 00:44:30,453
be spending based on the performance.
771
00:44:30,863 --> 00:44:34,063
This way you can make the most of
your Facebook advertising budget and
772
00:44:34,093 --> 00:44:35,603
take your business to the next level.
773
00:44:35,953 --> 00:44:38,753
Improve your return on Facebook
ad spending by leaving it to
774
00:44:38,753 --> 00:44:40,513
someone who can help like me.
775
