Perpetual Traffic

Prior to the iOS update, it was easy to compare your ad performance on Facebook and Instagram. Now you’ve got to get creative.

If you missed Part 1 of co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam’s discussion with Tier 11’s Angela Ponsford, check that out first. In today’s episode, the trio continues their chat about Instagram advertising and what you need to know to get the best results possible on this platform. They talk about the merger between paid and organic ads—and the inescapable fact that IG reels aren’t going anywhere. You absolutely need to utilize them if you want to stay relevant. Stop trying to hack the algorithm, Kasim says, and just play the game.

Listen in for some tips on building community and engaging your audience on Instagram in some new (and not that scary) ways.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to create a specific audience and boost small bits of content only to them
• Why paid ads by themselves don’t work on Instagram
• How to set up conversation starters in your Instagram DMs with Minichat
• Why you should play the IG game instead of trying to hack it (and how to do it)

You know that building your Instagram following will help your business, but how does advertising really work on this platform?

In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with one of their most popular repeat guests, Angela Ponsford, Social Cosmonaut of Stellar Communication at Tier 11, to talk about Instagram ads. “Instagram is a tough nut to crack from a paid media standpoint,” Angela says.

A new bill was introduced this week that could literally take away your ability to be seen by your target audience.

In today’s episode, host Kasim Aslam shares his thoughts on the Verge article that came out this week: “Democrats Unveil Bill to Ban Online ‘Surveillance Advertising.’” Kasim, who is anti-partisan, is forced to get “mildly political” as he responds to this unsettling news. The bill would ban all use of digital advertising targeting ads to users. Kasim doesn’t want to be dramatic, but this is a dramatic bill, he says. If passed, it could effectively be the end of digital marketing as we know it. If they take away your ability to be seen by a relevant audience, “your message will be lost. You’ll be de-platformed. You’ll be a needle in a stack of needles.”

Listen in to hear Kasim’s thoughtful hot take and what he thinks is actually the solution to all of our trafficking problems.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• What kind of targeting the bill does “allow” and why that’s not a concession
• What the “Overton Window” is and why it matters
• Why and how this bill hamstrings every single small business out there
• Tips for building (and being grateful for) a beautiful community

In late 2021, TikTok took over as the #1 trafficked domain name in the world. How did this happen and what does it mean for marketers?

In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burn and Kasim Aslam sit down to discuss the future of video advertising. Kasim, who runs a Google ad agency and has a YouTube channel, is floored by the news that TikTok has surpassed Google as the number one domain. He’d been dismissive of TikTok and is ready to admit it’s clearly a huge opportunity. By the end of 2022, online videos will make up 82% of all consumed internet traffic. YouTube and TikTok are channels no serious marketer can ignore.   

Listen in for some helpful tips on diversifying your traffic sources and advertising on YouTube and TikTok.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Tips for making your TikTok ad look native to the platform (not like an ad)
• How YouTube is attempting to replicate TikTok
• Other trends (like the metaverse) you’ll want to get in on sooner than later
• Why Kasim thinks you need to run every viable channel available to you
