Facebook Ads Strategies that Work with Daria Kotenko

When it comes to Facebook ads, I feel like it's the Wild Wild West. I get super confused by how to strategize with them! It almost feels like trying to win a game at the casino; it feels like the house always wins or that you're trying to somehow fight this uphill battle. This is why I've brought Daria Kotenko on.

Here are some brief snippets from this episode:

[00:05:05]
Who should be starting to think about ads right now? 

[00:06:22]
The problem with boosting posts is you have very little control over the targeting that you can have comparatively in proper Facebook ads. 

[00:09:47]
The first point when people start thinking about ads is, I would recommend that anyone would first have some success in their business organically. The messaging is really important because a lot of people kind of have very little success with ads when their messaging is very surface-level. An ad success in two phases.

[00:16:36]
How do you recommend people navigate the upfront investment and commitment of paid ads? Is it possible to invest a little bit to try something, or do you really have to go a little deeper in to get really good feedback?

[00:20:15]
Low ticket might do better with paid ads, depending on if you're going for volume and with a cold audience. With high ticket, it's easier to make your money back. What do you think are the best strategies for low ticket versus high ticket sales via ads?

[00:26:33]
The most important metric that you can look at is your cost per result. Once you schedule your ads, first, like four to seven days, don't touch them. If you realize after a certain amount of time that they're not working, you can then switch, pull, change.

[00:33:03]
What advantages can someone have, let's say working with someone to help manage. What should be the expectation for a business owner who's like, I'm ready to hire someone. You have to have someone who can see the whole picture.

[00:38:18]
Don't boost the post. Don't try to use ads in a way that does not work with the business that you already have. Make sure that you're staying in integrity with who you are and what you believe. What works for you won't work for others, specifically the tactics.
