Listen Later

When we talk to people about LinkedIn ads, we usually hear objections such as:

“Do they really work?” (Yes)

“Aren’t they expensive?” (Cost per qualified lead can be low)

It is time to debunk these myths. LinkedIn have put a lot of work recently into their advertising platform. On this episode, we interview LinkedIn Ads expert AJ Wilcox. On the call AJ explained:

  • What ad format to run with 95% of the time
  • Whether to use single image or single video ads
  • Whether to write long or short copy ads
  • Why people go to LinkedIn, and how they respond to ads
  • How we now have engagement retargeting on LinkedIn :-) :-) :-)
  • Why the targeting options on LinkedIn are essential for B2B marketing
  • What customer lifetime value you need to run LinkedIn ads profitably
  • What kinds of offers work on LinkedIn (i.e. what to say in your LinkedIn ads)
  • How to get very senior people to respond to your ads
  • How long to run an offer before changing it
  • What is a reasonable testing budget for new LinkedIn advertisers
  • What’s the lowest budget you can spend to still see results
  • How to complement your paid LinkedIn efforts with organic networking
  • The breakdown between mobile and desktop impressions
  • The two biggest mistakes people make (i.e. how to avoid the ‘LinkedIn Stupidity Tax’)
  • How many ads to test at any time
