  • #39 Behind the Scenes of a 6-figure Live Launch - with Tiffany Lee Bymaster

    This week I'm joined on Ads That Convert by Tiffany Lee Bymaster (aka Coach Glitter), to discuss her most successful launch ever.....which she ran completely LIVE!

    Tiffany is amazing when it comes to making people comfortable with live video, and using it to amplify their brand. But she’s even more amazing at using Facebook Live during a launch.

    This time, after being told by her mentor that she was getting too comfortable with the launch style she’d perfected, Tiffany decided to put it all out there using Facebook Live. The results were clear: her live launch outperformed everything she’s done to date!

    Today we’ll be going deep behind the scenes for one of the most informative breakdown episodes out there on what makes a live launch so great, and how ads play a huge part in making it happen!

     

    • Why it's crucial to have an engaged audience versus just having a large following.
    • The results of Tiffany’s very first live launch.
    • Why changing the offer and the launch, changed the entire experience....for better!
    • How ads fit into the live launch process

     

    “If we’re still chasing likes, comments and numbers of followers, we’re not seeing the value of serving the right people”

    “When your audience knows what to expect, it’s a dangerous place to be”

    “How are you going to deliver a different experience to your audience?”

    “Live video is the easiest way and the fastest way to create an engaged audience”

    “You have to make it your own. You have to stand out. Otherwise you’re just copying what everybody else is doing”

    “If you’re trying to please everybody, you’re pleasing nobody”

  • #35 From Shame to Success with Facebook Ads - with Emily Hodge

    Emily Hodge joins me this week to discuss the shame she felt around running Facebook Ads prior to her last launch, and how she found great success when she finally started!

    I’m really excited to be talking about this, because most often, the problems I hear people having with Facebook ads, are around the money side of things: “Am I going to lose money running ads?” or “Will my return on investment be worth it?”.

    This conversation goes more into answering questions such as “Will I annoy people?” and “Am I really that good if I need to use ads to promote myself?”.

    When Emily brought this topic up to me, I realized she was onto something that other people might be struggling with, so we got together and created this episode of Ads That Convert, just for you.

     

    What You'll Discover:

    • The antidote to hustle, and Emily’s past ad experience.
    • The challenge, the launch and the mental struggle surrounding ads.
    • How she came to realise there's nothing shameful about promoting yourself.
    • The amazing results Emily had after making this mindset switch

     

    Soundbites from this Episode:

    “Why does life have to be about hustle and running around like a headless chicken”

    “There was a long old mental state of change to go through before I got to where I was with the launch”

    “The way I was feeling about ads was almost that it was a badge of honour not to use them.”

    “It’s okay to promote yourself. People need to promote themselves”

    “I think word of mouth is hugely important”

    “I absolutely understand what I’m looking for now”

  • #32 Top 5 Targeting Mistakes Most People Make with Facebook Ads

    While I have been in sunny California during a retreat, something I’ve noticed that has come up a lot is fears and worries about targeting ads. We also need to understand Facebook Ad targeting and why it works or doesn’t work. During this episode, I’ll be talking about the five mistakes typically made and how we can come back from them or avoid them altogether. In my opinion, Facebook is the most powerfully targeted advertising platform in the world. We use the information that people share in the Facebook profiles, actions they take, pages they like and ads they click on for targeting.

    Five Common Mistakes

    1. Not knowing who you want to target

      1. Who is your ideal client/audience?

      2. Do audience research

        1. Age?

        2. Location?

        3. Gender?

        4. Parents?

        5. Income level?

        6. Psychographics?

      3. Nail down your client avatar

      4. Use Facebook Audience Insight Tool

      1. With a massive audience, it is likely that you’re not going to find people your ad will benefit

      2. Targeting everyone doesn’t work

    2. Using too broad of an audience

      1. The person wearing a red cardigan living in Newport Beach, CA

      2. Facebook won’t know who it can serve this ad to

      3. The audience will be too small

      4. Under 1000 people is too small, Facebook will not serve your ad

    3. Too narrow of an audience/too niched down

      1. Example: targeting your ad toward people who are 30-55, who are women, who live in a 25-mile radius of Denver, CO and are interested in skiing

      2. Adding brands to bump up numbers

        1. You won't be able to narrow down which interests, page names, or brands what is driving your traffic

      3. Adding too many Facebook page names

    4. Using too many interests in an ad

      1. Relying only on interest targeting

        1. Group your warm audiences together

      2. Failure to use warm or look-a-like audience

    5. Overreliance on user interest targeting


    “Facebook is unique in targeting ads.”

    “You’ve got to know where your target audience are.”

    “The deeper you can go in your psychographics details, the more information you’ll have on your audience and how to target effectively.”

    “We want our ad to meet as many people as possible.”
