Facebook ads - Have you tried this?
Three ways to use Facebook ads
1. Simple List Building
Use Facebook lead ads by offering a free download in exchange for a name and email, to grow your list.
Facebook lead ads have got better and better over the last few years.
A great feature of lead ads is that the form is pre-filled so people don't have to type in their name and email, which is especially good on a phone.
Using lead ads allows you to start list-building without a website funnel.
2. Test Headlines, Topics and Ideas for Offers eg Courses
Run 3 or 4 (or more versions) of an ad that has different headlines but is identical in every other way.
You'll quickly find out what people are interested in and what gets most clicks.
You can simply look at click through rates or you can use a split test calculator that tells you if you have a statistically significant result and which option is best.
Even better, in this test, offer a list-build feature such as a waitlist or lead magnet. That way you'll be building your list while gathering valuable data.
3. Start Small, let the AI do its work
Facebook and Google ads increasingly use AI and machine learning. This tech gets better and better. Let the robots do the hard work for you.
Start targeted Facebook ads (always use Business Manager) on a small budget for the machine learning data gathering phase. Once you have data, make lookalike audiences and let the tech find the best audiences.
The algorithms make huge numbers of observations, decisions and adjustments, well beyond human capability or time available.
You may have been using the Facebook pixel, but it has lost effectiveness since iOS 14.5, so be sure to use Facebook's next gen tool, the Conversions api.
