On this episode, I about going to be talking about the pillars of a rock solid Facebook advertising Strategy.

 

Audiences and Targeting

Bidding and Budgeting in the auction

If your business stops when you stop advertising, you have a product problem #profound

Aim for a "productocracy" which is a product that PULLS vs PUSHES: 

1 new customer = 2 thru word of mouth. 

A productocracy survives and grows without advertising. 

If your business stops when you stop advertising, you have a product problem.

Audiences

So let us talk Audiences

This is where targeting comes in. 

 

On Facebook, you have the following targeting options:

Cold audience targeting

Custom Audience Targeting

 

Then as your custom audience targeting matures, you can eventually use what I term the power of Facebook audience targeting: Lookalike Audiences
