The Art of Online Business

When you want to create a successful Facebook ads campaign, what do you do? ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Well, hopefully you map your game plan and identify your exact target before doing anything… (we covered this in episode 109) Once you finish the prep work, you open up Power Editor or Ads Manager to start creating your campaign…It’s at this point you’re faced with your first (critical) decision of actually getting your ad up and running....selecting your “Campaign Objective”.With the Objective, you’re essentially letting Facebook know what kind of results you’re looking to achieve with your Ad campaign. You’re selecting an objective that aligns with your goals. But with all the options Facebook makes available, not to mention the optimization settings, it’s not surprising that a ton of people tend to get tripped up by this step.And, I gotta say, getting this step “right” is vital to the success of your Facebook Ads. Because in most cases, the options you choose for the objective and optimization have massive impact on your campaign’s overall results. This week’s episode of The Art of Paid Traffic is dedicated to helping clear up any confusion you might have around choosing the best objective for your Facebook ads campaign. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

Hard work is, well, just that -- hard work. It's stuff we don't always like doing yet the reward on the other side is often the greatest.  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍We all wish we had a magic button we could push, or a pill we could pop, to miraculously start seeing results from our efforts. I get it, I'm like that too sometimes. It's a mindset I often see when I work with students who want to use Facebook ads for their business. They dive right into Ads Manager and Power Editor. They take time to understand the technical side of setting up their Facebook Ads. But when their ads start running, they expect to see dollar signs flying right out of the gates.Yes, the power of Facebook Ads does make it possible to see pretty fast results. But first, it requires some critical “pre-work”. This is the stuff that needs to happen before you even begin setting up your ad campaign. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

We all have that one thing, one skill or ability, that we’d really love to learn or improve so we can be more efficient marketers and business owners. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍For some people it’s systems…For others it’s strategy…For me, it’s copywriting. If you’ve been a long-time listener to The Art of Paid Traffic, then you probably know I’m always looking to get a little better at copywriting.In fact, earlier this year, and back when I first started the podcast, I interviewed quite a few copywriters on the show. Because whether it’s ad copy, sales page copy, or emails -- I know writing tends to be one of the  biggest sources of frustration for me in my business, and also for many of my students. That’s why I invited my friend and awesome copywriter Hattie Brazeley to join me on today’s episode of the podcast.Hattie and I have been working together in my business for a little while now. I decided to start working with her when I really wanted to take my ad, sales page and email copy to next level. And as we’ve been working together, I’ve been impressed with how she’s able to dive into the mind of my ideal customer and write copy that speaks specifically to that person. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

A couple weeks ago I hosted a live online training all about using Facebook Ads for local businesses. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I hold these types of trainings from time to time, some of them for local businesses and some for online businesses, since things are always changing on Facebook. Heck...the whole world of online marketing, in general, is constantly shifting. Because of that, it’s always a ton of fun when I get to jump on these trainings and teach specific strategies to help you simplify things and see big results from your online marketing efforts.One of my favorite parts of every training I do is the Q&A.  I love seeing the types of questions people ask. And during that last training, I was so impressed with both the quality and the amount of questions that were asked during the Q&A that I decided to share a bunch of those questions (and answers) on the podcast today. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

Do the the colors catch your attention? Or maybe it’s the image? Are you someone who mostly looks at videos?The point is, we all know that the visual aspect of a Facebook Ad is important -- because it’s how the Ad actually grabs our attention in the first place. Still, when it comes to setting up our own Facebook Ads, I know a lot of people spend a ton of time focused on planning, budgeting and targeting their Ads.

As entrepreneurs and online marketers, taking risks is simply the nature of the beast when you want to be successful. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Sometimes you have to shake things up a bit, see what works...and then keep doing more of what works. Today on The Art of Paid Traffic, I talk with one of my students who is testing what I’d say is an unconventional strategy, marketing a high-ticket live event offer to cold traffic, directly off of a webinar. Her name is Heather Hubbard of thelanguageofjoy.com and she’s a lawyer turned lifestyle entrepreneur.  She coaches female lawyers to find work-life balance without sacrificing their professional careers.Last year she hosted her first ever live retreat weekend, exclusively for female law firm partners. This year Heather is gearing up for her second annual retreat to be held at the luxury Miraval Resort in Tucson, Arizona. And tickets to her event are $3,500.I wanted to have Heather on the show because, like I said, she sort of ignored the “conventional approach” when she decided to sell her high-ticket offer to cold traffic using only Facebook Ads and webinars. And so far, she’s seen great success. Plus, she saved herself a ton of time and stress in the process. The stuff Heather and I cover will give you a unique perspective on how you can take calculated risks and avoid costly mistakes with your own sales funnel strategies. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

We’re switching things up on The Art of Paid Traffic this week! ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍On today’s show, you’re going to hear an episode I recorded a little over a month ago with my good friend Amy Porterfield on her podcast, Online Market Marketing Made Easy. As soon as you get into it, you’ll understand why I just had to share it with you here on AOPT. During the show, Amy and I cover one of THE most common questions we both get (sometimes multiple times a day) by our students and podcast listeners...How much should I spend on Facebook Ads if I want to have a successful webinar?In the past, Amy and I have both always answered this question on a case-by-case basis. Because the truth is, there’s a lot you have to factor in when you’re calculating an ad spend that will allow you to hit your specific revenue goals. While we still don’t have one “right” answer to this question, Amy and I were able to put our heads together and come up with a formula that makes it a whole lot easier to determine a ballpark budget for your Facebook ads. ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
