In this video I'm going to show you my seven step
process for selling with Facebook ads.
Over the past six months I've used this exact method
to generate over 13,000 website conversions
for just £0.91 each.
I'm Ben Heath, the Founder and CEO of Lead Guru,
which is a London-based digital marketing agency.
And today, you're going to learn the seven
most important keys to success with Facebook advertising
so that you can sell your products and services fast.
Keep watching.
I launched my very first Facebook ad campaign in 2012.
And since I started, Facebook advertising has changed a lot.
Back then there were a lot few advertisers
and Facebook advertising was so cheap that you
could just throw up an ad and watch the sales roll in.
Today the platform is a lot more competitive,
and that simply won't work.
Does that mean you should give up on Facebook advertising?
Absolutely not!
Facebook is an amazingly sophisticated advertising platform.
And with the seven steps that I'm going to share with you,
in this video, you can use it to
seriously move the needle and scale your business.
So without further ado,
let's get started with step one, targeting.
You can create the best looking ad that's promoting
an outstanding product, but none of that will matter
if you're advertising it to the wrong people.
And this is where a lot of people go wrong.
Because they think that targeting is simple.
They go into their Facebook ad account and
select interest targetings that are related
to the products and services that they sell.
But here's the thing, just because someone is
interested in something, doesn't mean they're
ready to buy it from you.
There's a huge difference between advertising
to people that know you and people that don't.
Advertising to people that have visited your website,
engaged with your content, joined your email list,
or bought from you before, will always be much
more effective than advertising to cold audiences.
Of course, you can have success
advertising to cold audiences.
We do it all the time.
But the real magic with Facebook ads
comes from advertising to warm audiences.
In Facebook, you advertise to warm audiences
by using custom audiences.
There are many different types of custom audiences
on Facebook, but my favourite is Website Custom Audiences.
And if you're looking to sell your products and services,
these are definitely the people
that you should start targeting.
Then you can move onto other custom audiences
such as your Email List, Page Engagement Custom Audiences,
Video View Custom Audiences, and of course, Page Likes.
For most companies, these custom audiences are going
to be quite small.
So it's very important you consistently create
content and engage with your target market to add people
to these custom audiences.
And if you still have some budget left over,
then you should start targeting cold audiences.
And later on in this video I'm going to show you exactly
how to advertise to cold audiences.
But now, let's move onto step two, which is segmentation.
After step one you know that you should start
by advertising to warm audiences.
Well you can improve your results even further
by segmenting those warm audiences.
Most businesses offer multiple products and services.
But when it comes to advertising to their warm
audiences on Facebook, they get lazy.
They use the same ad for everyone,
which just promotes one product or service.
But you'll make a lot more sales by segmenting
and it's really easy to do.
Instead of creating just one website custom audience
that includes everyone that has visited your website,
you should create website custom audiences for people
who have visited specific pages on your website.
That way, you can create separate campaigns
for different products and services and in those
campaigns, only target people that have visited
the specific pages on your website
about those products and services.
As you can imagine, this is incredibly effective,
because if someone has visited a page on your website
about a specific product or service,
they are highly likely to be interested in it.
Step three, ad type.
So which ad type should you use?
Image ads, video ads, lead ads?
Unfortunately there's no one size fits all ad type.
It really depends on your objective.
If you want to build your custom audiences,
you can use an image ad that promotes a blog post,
or a video ad that promotes a video.
If you're looking to sell your products and services,
it really depends on what you're trying to sell.
For a relatively small impulse purchase,
I would probably use an image ad.
But for a high end or more complex product,
I would probably use a video ad.
The important thing is to experiment,
and I'm going to show you how to do that
really easily later in the video.
Step four, ad creative.
There are two major parts to your ad creative.
You have copy and imagery.
Both are critical to your Facebook ad campaign success.
And each serves a separate purpose.
Your copy is the part of your ad that needs to convince
your audience to take the action you want them to take.
Whilst your imagery should grab your audience's attention
and represent your brand.
Let's start with copy.
It's very important that you tell people
what your ad is about in the first couple of lines.
If your audience needs to click the see more button
to see what your ad is for, then you're in trouble.
Don't be afraid to reiterate an important point
in your ad copy either.
For example, if you're offering a discount
include it multiple times, and absolutely make sure
people know what the discount is.
Most people just skim ad copy.
So what might seem over the top, almost certainly isn't.
Also, make sure you include a call to action.
And tell people exactly what you want them to do.
Should they click on a link, leave a comment,
or go through to your website and purchase?
Then tell them to do that.
It sounds obvious, but I've seen a lot of ads
without a call to action.
Let's move on to imagery.
Two things that have been shown to grab people's attention
particularly well are hands and faces.
Particularly if the face is making eye contact.
And this works very well if you're advertising
to warm audiences that would recognise you.
Obviously images that include hands and faces
won't work for every business.
And honestly, the imagery that works best for your
business, may be fairly unique to you.
For example, some companies have a lot of success
using very bright colours.
The important thing is that you know the purpose
of your ads imagery,
and that is to grab your audience's attention.
When you know its purpose you can test different options
and find something that works really well for you.
And to help you create high converting ads
that will sell your products or services,
I have created a 5-Part Facebook Ad Template.
You can download this template for free and it includes
some of the best performing ads we've created for our
clients in a number of different industries.
Just head over to leadguru.co.uk and you can
download it there for free.
Let's move on to step number five, the Facebook Pixel.
I don't want to be overly dramatic,
but installing the Facebook Pixel is absolutely essential.
You need to use the Facebook Pixel to track
the actions that people take on your website.
Otherwise, you won't be able to determine
how well your Facebook ad campaigns are performing.
And if you don't know how they're performing,
then you can't optimise or make vital adjustments.
Or even know if they are working!
You also need to have the Facebook Pixel
installed on your website to add people
to your website custom audiences.
Which you now know is the most powerful
targeting option you can use in Facebook.
Most website builders now make it very easy
for you to install the Facebook Pixel
with specific places to put it.
And if you have a WordPress website,
you can use a simple plug-in to install it.
However, if you're not technical
and you can't work it out,
it's worth paying a few bucks
to get someone to install it for you.
You can really easily find someone to install
it for you on upwork.com and it won't cost much at all.
And when it comes to the Facebook Pixel,
a pro tip is to use the free Google Chrome extension
called the Facebook Pixel Helper.
It will show you if the Facebook Pixel is
installed correctly on any page without
having to look at any code.
Let's move onto step number six, which is experimentation.
It can be done, but it's very rare to hit a home run
on your first attempt.
When we create Facebook ad campaigns for our clients,
we create multiple variations of just about everything.
We test different ad copy, different images,
and of course, different targeting options.
It's crucial that you start advertising on
Facebook with this in mind.
I've seen too many people create a single ad,
advertise it to a single audience,
have it not work very well,
and then declare that Facebook advertising doesn't work.
That's crazy, and with the right attitude
you can make sure that you don't fall
victim to that mentality.
Fortunately, it's really easy to experiment
with Facebook ad campaigns.
Because Facebook recently released a built-in
split testing tool.
At the moment you need a business manager account
to use the split testing tool.
But it's well worth taking the time to set that up,
because this built in split testing is fantastic.
Now, I've saved the most important step until last,
and that is sales funnels.
In step one, I talked about how effective it is
to target people that already know you.
Well, the truth is, the more touch points
your target market has with your company,
and the more they get to know you and your brand,
the easier it is to sell your products and services.
We've worked with clients with such a great following,
that selling their products
with Facebook ads is really easy.
So how do you get people to know your company quickly
and ad them to your custom audiences?
Well you can throw tonnes of content up online
and just hope people see it,
or you can create a sales funnel that takes people
from cold prospects all the way to repeat customers
as fast as possible.
By far the best way to advertise to cold audiences
on Facebook is to use a sales funnel.
And to help you create a
highly effective online sales funnels,
I've recently created a free mini class
called 4 Steps to a Perfect Online Sales Funnel.
It's very short and I walk you step-by-step
through the exact sales funnel creation
process that we use.
