You used to have to
use Chrome to
access Facebook’s
Power Editor
feature … I still
think life is easier if
you use Chrome for
reasons that will
become apparent
throughout this
training ☺
Browser Alert!
Do Yellow Pages, newspaper and magazine adverts,
leaflets or TV & Radio adverts provide you with the
same information to allow you to track ROI?
If not, why are you still paying for them?
Important Question!
Statistics
1.28 billion daily active users on average for March 2017
1.94 billion monthly active users as of March 2017
How else can you expose your business to
that many people for free?

Facebook Ad Types
Boost Post > Very basic & simple, has some limited uses, has
improved since it first appeared on the scene
Basic Ads > Much better options than post boosting, better
targeting, more ad control
Power Editor > The best option, but not the most user-
friendly! New features come to Power Editor first, Lookalike
audiences, dark posts, bulk imports and many more!
Facebook Ad Types
Facebook Ads BasicsSet up multiple users so that all of your
entire team can manage page ads …
Facebook Stats
Use Facebook Insights to determine what is working and
what is not … do more of what works, do less of what
doesn’t!
• Facebook page insights give you incredible data about how your page is performing
and how effectively you’re targeting prospects
• You can literally see how many people that you are engaging with by
country/language/location
• You should use this data to refine your Facebook business page until it’s ‘tweaked
and tuned’ to perfection
• The great thing about Facebook’s insights feature is that they never lie and remove
all ‘finger in the wind’ guesswork from your marketing
• Insights give you valuable indicators for your advertising

Edge rank was the Facebook equivalent of the Google
Algorithm … it basically determined what shows up on
your news feed … it’s the ‘secret sauce’!
Why is this important? Because if you understand a
little about what Edge rank was, you can influence what
people see in relation to your business
Organic Reach

Organic Reach
How it works …
1) Everything that shows up in a news feed is called an object
2) When people interact with an object (a status update for instance) Facebook
calls that an Edge (a tag or comment for instance)
3) Each Edge has three key components which relate to Facebook’s algorithm:
- An affinity score between the creator and the person commenting i.e. how
often you interact
- A weight is given to each Edge … so a comment may have more weight than a
like for instance
- Time is a key factor … how old is the object? The newer, the better
Remember! Edge Rank isn’t used any more – just note the principles behind it ☺
Organic Reach
Facebook Ads Basics
We can’t beat the algorithms with organic reach, but
we can buck the system when we pay for advertising !
Boost Post
• This is the most basic level of Facebook advertising
• It’s very limited
• I’d always recommend that you take this out for a spin
before using ‘proper’ advertising
• Only use small budgets on page boosting – do not ramp
this up to any great level of spending
• It’s great for local events and audiences, not so good for
targeting at an interests level
• It’s very easy – the Facebook advertising nursery slopes ☺
Boost Post IndicatorsThis is why you need to be aware of Facebook Insights … don’t boost
posts which aren’t performing well organically!

TIP: Borders
work well
around images
• I use – and prefer – fotolia.com
• Don’t just help yourself to online images …
remember copyright!
• Beware of Getty images – they take action
against people who use their images without
paying
• Other sites I have used are
http://www.istockphoto.com/ and
http://www.dreamstime.com/
• Many other sites are available
• Avoid using free images – they’re usually
horrible!

Consider Timing Options
CTA = Call To Action
A call-to-action (usually abbreviated as CTA) is an image or line of text that prompts your visitors, leads, and customers to take
action. It is, quite literally, a "call" to take an "action."
The action you want people to take could be anything: download an ebook, sign up for a webinar, get a coupon, attend an event, etc.
A CTA can be placed anywhere in your marketing -- on your website, in an ebook, in an email, or even at the end of a blog post.

My Advanced Tips
• When using lead forms, don’t use ‘double opt-in’ with your emails … you have a
record of permission from Facebook, sending the confirmation email just creates
marketing friction
• Make sure that you have a sequence of automated emails ready to ‘on-board’ your
new prospects
• Always make sure that you offer your prospects something more expensive … an
upsell
• Split ads by Time zones … don’t have the same ad serving in the USA & UK
simultaneously (algorithm works better if you split your geography)
• Budget > $5-$10 per day as a budget, only scale up when you have success &
increase gradually
My Advanced Tips
• Placements – always mobile news feed & desktop news feed
• Experiment with time scheduling – try targeting evenings & weekends!
• You may get negative comments - remove them asap! You’ve paid for it - why
would you want to pay for an add with a horrible comment on it?
• Facebook’s recommendation is one campaign objective + one ad set + two ads
• Relevance based on positive/negative feedback - higher relevance score is best 1-
10 ... 7+ are all good
• Keep an eye of frequency of ad served - 3/4 times per person, keep an eye on it
• Conversions + cost per conversion are key metrics
• In your onboarding sequence, include a survey a few emails in
• Make it really easy for your new audience to unsubscribe
Read the T&Cs … Facebook will
clobber you if you get it wrong, but
they don’t give much help to get it
right!
Competitions & Promos
• Take great care with these!
• Facebook used to be really strict about them, things have got a lot better recently
• There are four basic types of contests you can run on Facebook: sweepstakes,
essay, photo and video
• One of the biggest rules that Facebook insists on is clearly stating that Facebook is
not sponsoring the giveaway.
• The easiest thing to do is show your rules and guidelines loud and clear on your
contest
• Use a Third-Party App to run the contest – stay safe!

RetargetingRetargeting is a cookie-based technology that uses simple a Javascript code to anonymously ‘follow’ your audience all
over the Web.
Here’s how it works: you place a small, unobtrusive piece of code on your website (this code is sometimes referred to as
a pixel). The code, or pixel, is unnoticeable to your site visitors and won’t affect your site’s performance. Every time a new
visitor comes to your site, the code drops an anonymous browser cookie. Later, when your cookied visitors browse the
Web, the cookie will let your retargeting provider know when to serve ads, ensuring that your ads are served to only to
people who have previously visited your site.

Dark Posts
Facebook posts which you use for advertising ONLY, they
do not appear in your news feed. Why? Useful if you want
to try out multiple versions of the same post.

as a customer – you
click an advert in your

up immediately.
