The people with the most energy throughout the day win.”                                                What was the biggest change in the food side of things that that you made in your life? “Everybody's different, but you just have to test different things.”   How has travel helped with business in general? “Travel is huge because it lets you unplug because if you're always working, working, working and you're always doing the same thing…”   How do you eliminate scarcity mindset? “A lot of business owners, including myself, before I used to think, let's say you make 10 bucks…and then most business owners want to keep 10 bucks in their own pockets, want to use it for their own experiences or whatever, because they're scared because they don't know where the next $10 is going to come from…”   Can you share with me your most successful or favorite networking story/experience that you’ve had? “To your point of networking in today's world, a lot and networking parties or after parties or whatever you want to call them, come with an open bar, which a little bit of liquid courage helps…”   How do you stay in front of or best nurture your network community? “Typically, I just give a lot. Gary’s (Vaynerchuk) book, Jab, Jab, Right Hook should be retitled to Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook. Because typically, I just give as much as I can and then when I give something to someone, they typically stay in front of me asking, how can I help you?”   What advice do you have for the professional on growing their network? “You’ve got to get out there. There's no easy way about it. You’ve got to go to networking events. You’ve got to go to speaking seminars. You’ve got to get out there somehow, someway.”   Digital networking or traditional networking? “You're complete stranger online. In-person, people feel you. I don't know how to describe it. They feel your vibrations and they feel how good of a person you are and your energy levels. I mean, there's definitely a different sting to that because you can't get that online.”   If you could go back 20 years, what would you tell yourself to do more or less of regarding your career? “Definitely be more patient. Before I had always used to, you know, if something didn’t go my way, I would get sad or depressed or ‘oh my goodness, the world is against me.’ Uh, now I just rely on myself. Whatever happens, it's my fault.”   We’ve all heard of the 6 degrees of separation… Now, who would be the one person you’d love to connect with and do you think you could do it within the 6th degree? “I mean, I'm connected to everyone I really want to be. There's no one I really can't get to or haven't gotten to that I want to talk to.”   What book are you reading right now? “The Fourth Agreement is one of my favorite books ever. It's changed the way I think, the way I approach life.”   Any final words of advice for our listeners? “Never settle. And especially, momentum is huge in business. That's probably the biggest thing.

#138: Facebook Ad “Objectives”: What They Mean + How to Use Them

The Art of Online Business

Play Episode Listen Later May 25, 2017 30:26


On today’s episode, we’re talking all about Facebook ad “Objectives”. Specifically… What’s the difference between each ad Objective Which one to choose How to use them What they mean in your Facebook ad campaign And, some exceptions you might want to make when it comes to choosing your ad Objective. I covered Facebook ad Objectives back on episode 110, but I still get a ton of questions every week about this topic AND the Objectives have changed and consolidated since then. So we’re gonna dive head first into it all today… New Facebook Ads Feature! Facebook is gradually rolling out brand new feature and it’s very relevant to what we’re talking about on today’s episode, with better understanding Objectives. You know how when you launch a Facebook ad campaign with the ‘Conversions’ Objective and you’ve selected the conversion you want to optimize for at the Ad Set level? Well, if your Ad Set isn’t getting many conversions right after it starts running, delivery of that ad might be limited.   The reason for that is because your pixel isn’t getting enough data to learn who is converting on your ads.  Remember, when you’re Objective is conversions, the pixel needs 15-25 conversions per week -- enough data to begin “learning” who is converting. Now, with this new feature, you’re going to have the option to improve delivery. You’ll be able to allow an Ad Set to temporarily “fall back” to optimizing for clicks (remember our Objective here is ‘Conversions’ and thus we’re optimizing for a specific conversion like opt-ins or registrations), IF Facebook doesn't have enough conversion data to optimize for the conversion on the Facebook pixel that the Ad Set is being optimized for. Delivery will then be boosted by optimizing for link clicks in the initial stages of the Ad Set IF the Ad Set is under-delivering. With this new feature, you’ll have two options to choose from: Standard: This option sets a strict end point for when Facebook will stop optimizing for link clicks -- after 15-25 conversions, 1,000 link clicks or 7 days (whichever comes first). From then on, the Facebook will only optimize for conversions - even if that means Facebook can't find enough conversions for you and the Ad Set stops delivering before the budget is spent. OR Extended: This option optimizes for link clicks and conversions until the Ad Set captures 15-25 conversions or the budget is spent. If the Ad Set doesn’t capture 15-25 conversions, the full budget may be spent on many link clicks and few conversions. Soooo, be on the lookout in your Power Editor and Ads Manager.   This is pretty cool stuff and I’m excited about this new feature! Facebook Ad Objectives As you can see from the above image, the Objectives are broken into 3 sections: Awareness: Objectives that generate interest in your product or service. Consideration: Objectives that get people to start thinking about your business and look for more information about it. Conversions: Objectives that encourage people interested in your business to purchase or use your product or service. These are the 3 phases of a sales funnel. So what is each one do?  Let’s have a look... Brand awareness: Increase awareness for your brand by reaching people who are more likely to be interested in it.  Facebook has this data from all the tons of brand campaigns that have been run, and they’ve analyzed that the longer someone spends with an ad, the more likely they are to remember it. Reach: Show your ad to the maximum number of people in your audience. Traffic: When your goal is to get people to click on your ad and go to your landing page, website, app, etc… Engagement: Get more post engagements, Page likes, event responses or offer claims. App installs: Send people to an app store where they can download your app. Video views:Get more people to view your video content.  This is like awareness but using video. Lead Generation: This is Facebook’s Lead Ad -- when you want to get leads from people interested in your brand or business.  NOTE: I highly recommend using a 3rd party tool like Zapier or SyncSumo to automatically bring the leads from Facebook into your email CRM. Conversions: When your goal is to get people to convert on your landing page (opt-in, sale, etc…)  NOTE: I wouldn’t use this for high-priced products/services. Product Catalog Sales: Create ads that automatically show products from your product catalog based on your target audience. Store Visits:Promote multiple brick-and-mortar business locations to people who are nearby. When to Use Each Facebook Ad Objective First and foremost, use the Objective that most aligns with your goal.   This is exactly why you need to do the upfront work of being crystal clear on WHY you’re running your Facebook ads -- what’s your goal? And unfortunately, as critical as this step is, this is the work that most people don’t want to do.  Back in episode 109, The Critical Work Needed for Successful Facebook Ads, I talk all about this. When you’re clear on what the goal of your campaign is, you can select the Objective that aligns with it. Here are some examples: If your goal is to get people to opt-in for a free download or register for a webinar or event, I’d go with Conversions. You could also test Lead Ads, but again, make sure you’re using a 3rd party tool to ensure those leads are automatically getting sent from FB into your email CRM. If your goal is to send people to a piece of content so you can build an audience that you can then retarget to, your Objective in the initial campaign would be Traffic and then in the retargeting campaign, it would be Conversions. If you’re running a video ad with the intention of building engagement audiences so you can retarget viewers of your video with an offer, I’d still recommend going with the Objective that aligns with wherever you’re sending traffic, like to an opt-in/registration (Conversions) or a piece of content (Traffic). But you also might want to test Video Views as your Objective since your real intention is to build those engagement audiences so you can retarget. Exceptions When Choosing Your Facebook Ad Objective There are always exceptions and different things to test when it comes to choosing your Objective. For example, if you’re a local business and you’re simply trying to reach as many people as possible in your small market, even though you might be trying to get people to download a coupon or special offer, you might want to try the “Reach” Objective because that sets you up to reach as many people as possible. Or, if you’re retargeting a small yet targeted audience, you also might want to use Reach as your Objective for the same reason -- you want to get your ad in front of as many of those people as possible. Another exception might be where you’re sending traffic to a sales page and you’re selling a higher priced product or service.   Even though your goal IS to have people buy/convert, I’d recommend using traffic as your Objective.   This is because when you’re using the Conversions Objective, you need to tell Facebook what conversion you want to optimize for.   Remember that when we use the Conversions Objective, the Facebook pixel is used to track conversions. The pixel is optimizing (meaning, it’s learning and getting smarter) the more conversions you get so that it can find you more of those people who are converting. If you’re sending people from your ad directly to a higher priced product or service, you’re likely not going to have a high percentage of those people converting.   Thus, go with Traffic as your Objective to simply drive people to your page. How Your Facebook Ad Objective Affects Optimization & Delivery At the Ad Set level you have the Optimization & Delivery section. The default settings here are affected by the Objective that you choose. For example, if your Objective is Conversions, you’ll notice that the Optimization for Ad Delivery field defaults to Conversions. Likewise, when you’ve chosen Traffic as your Objective, the default will be link clicks (see the image above). I recommend going with the default which is what we normally do in my business, like optimize for conversions.   When you go with the default settings, you’re letting Facebook’s algorithm, which has gotten very advanced and much smarter, do the work for you.   It’s actually this optimization option, in conjunction with your Objective, that tells Facebook what to value when showing your ad to your target audience. The bottom line is Facebook’s algorithm is set up to help you get the results you want for the lowest cost.  After all, when you have success, what are you going to do?  You’ll spend more money!    The key here is to always be testing to see where you get the best results.   Brand New 12-Month Coaching Program! I’m super pumped to announce a brand new coaching program that I’ve put together, called ADvantage Plus. ADvantage Plus is an application-only 12 month coaching program which begins this July (2017) and it includes the following: 1 Group Video coaching call with me each month (we’ll do this face-to-face on Zoom) A bonus Group coaching call each month with a subject matter expert 2 two-day group Live Events in San Diego with me A Ticket to attend both of my FBA Live workshops which are multi-day teaching and hands-on implementation And a Private Facebook Group community ADvantage Plus is for you if you’re looking for an accelerated path in growing your business and you think accountability, community and support will be helpful to you.

Justin Lofton - SyncSumo 8 was fixing bikes At 11 had a landscaping business At 14 worked at McDonald's - saw systems Blue collar and white collar Was a plumber and became a Cisco Engineer In 1998 started selling supplements online Had success early on when the internet was new. Building HTML sites Buying traffic on Overture before Google Moved into presales and sales at Cisco Fell in love with marketing Lead a team of engineers Got into consulting Was learning the Google algorithm Was helping offline businesses get online Was like a CMO for some small businesses and helped them 2x and 3x their business Started Fresh Agency in 2011. Provided SEO services Was able to massage it and had great success Started using Infusionsoft in 2007. Clients were looking for traffic and he was able to deliver it. Saw the role of Social Media Marketing coming up and branched into that. In 2013 when Infusionsoft got their $54 million from Goldman Sachs he saw things changing and wanted to move upstream but since he loves working with smaller businesses he was excited to see Goldman put so much confidence in Infusionsoft Launched ZenFusion in May of 2014 helping Infusionsoft users generate traffic. Got his hands into Facebook advertising and it's a switch from SEO to Facebook for leads and retargeting and people hanging out. His revenue went from 90% SEO to Facebook. Guys like Kiosaki and Tony Robbins teach you to always be open to opportunities and say “no” to most of them but let the seeds germinate so you know when to make a decision. The technician in him wants to do it all himself. You need to know where your time is best spent. Find people that can help you get to your goals faster but that's not always easy or affordable. Try to barter when you can. Do joint ventures. ZenFusion will become the UpWork for high value consultants. That's a big switch from his original structure of the company. He has had great success with workers in The Philippines. The language barrier has been tough with workers in India. He still has to go through 5-10 to get the right person. Having US-based workers has worked out best overall. He keeps his teams separate so he has a SyncSumo and a ZenFusion team. 2016 will be a great year for businesses to put business automation in place. All businesses can benefit. Relationship Marketing and Relationship Advertising is where the market is heading. Facebook and their newsfeed is a way for businesses to hang out with their clients and the friends and family of their clients. You're not really interrupting them like a TV ad. That's not as easy to do in SEO but Google is working on that with Customer Match and YouTube. Social Signals can get you big SEO results from the sharing. BlogMutt??? Google owns Chrome and it's the most widely used browser. He partnered with Digital Marketer to educate the clients. Join DM Labs for $37/mo. 10,000 members and a private FB group.
