AWESOME – just plug this funnel in and you’re set to go J• Once you have your system ready as I showed you in the previous part, all you need to do is keep feeding your funnel with targeted traffic and funnel take care of itself… (I’ll show you my results with the same funnel in the end, stay tuned)

FACEBOOK ADS (WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW)
• They can get really expensive if you don’t have a funnel in place• Conversion Ads à they work best for me, build your Facebook pixal, more conversions you get, cheaper it gets over the time• Whom To Target à custom audience from your website/landing page, lookalike audience people who converted/buyers, targeting –influencers, celebrities, magazines, websites/blog etc.• What Ads Work Best à Newsfeed ads -‐ most people on Facebook are to see what their friends are doing, read and share stories. I do the same thing, I include a story in my ad copy and in the end I send them to my squeeze page.
