Ask me anything about Facebook Ads 2019

Is it permissible to say in the ad, "You earn $ 200 a day and stuff like that?"

 

[nikhilsonu44]

How did you get those clients? Did you build up a site and repertoire? How much do you get paid for managing those accounts?

Very useful question. Few times we can find clients by contacting advertisers from Facebook groups on drop-shipping & Shopify ecom.

Same thing would work for welders/car washes... though probably not as well as these businesses are reasonably low ticket and thus harder to make a good ROI

Use the Audience Insights tool to find Interests

Again, thanks. So I'm in the process of creating some ads. I notice that while trying to choose interests for a lead gen campaign, its saying that the ad wont produce leads. Is this true or...?

Hi bud,

I am currently in the process of finishing my ecom website.

It is a subscription based service for male clothes sent out monthly.

I want to grow too 100 subscribers fast.

What would be the best way to advertise this?

Hey, I'm running a webshop and havent really bothered with FB ads at all. Thought I'd give it a try.

1) I started out by doing a retarget campaign (all visitors minus purchase pixel) with some default settings and a low budget limit just to see where it would land. It ended expensive as hell with no results. Now I've set it up with a bidding cap and slowly raising the limits every other day but getting zero impressions. How should I do this properly? Is it possible that my niche and country is simply too hard to get a good ROI?

2) Thought I'd try a campaign with a lookalike audience from my previous clients (~2k users). Are there any downsides of doing it simply by copy+paste their emails to get the lookalike audience? How would you go about setting up such a campaign in terms of bidding strategy etc? Any guides you can recommend?

 

[Krizzzly]

No



No ignore that

And another thing, Drought, because I want take advantage of this opportunity (again thanks), could you give any other ad tips for realtors and home improvement companies because I really want to deliver results and grow my agency.

If it's a web shop (eCommerce) you should start by retargeting abandoned cart, or at least top 25% visitors. Don't bother with manual bidding that won't change anything.

No downsides to copy+pasting emails for lookalikes

Ok. Does it matter if I change my bidding in the existing campaign or should I start over with a new campaign?

Hey Drought!
how do I find the perfect target audience?
I run my first facebook campaign and spent €19.08. I got a 205 link clicks and paid €0.09 Per Link Click. How can I optimize my target group? thanks in advance!

edit: btw I have a quiz site and try to do traffic arbitrage

That's pretty good CPC. Use the Audience Insights tool to try and find more Interests related to the one you already ran.

These are 3 very different kinds of businesses lmao

My personal FB profile got banned from advertising. I didn't lose any business manager accounts or ad accounts, they just personally banned me from advertising. I manage about $150k-$200k per month in ad spend for clients using another account of a close relative.

My plan is rent/buy accs from people. My question is: Is it ok to use a fresh windows profile or is there still some footprint? Meaning, I secure the account, make a new windows profile and only connect to the internet from that profile using a mobile hotspot (for a fresh IP). I don't think browser cookies transfer between profiles. Or is there some software I can use to manage multiple browser profiles that will not leak data or get me banned? (I have employees working inside these BMs and ad accounts too. not sure if that even matters or effects how FB views the accounts)

Any advice is appreciated. I've always been pretty white hat, but a while back I was advertising a s#x toy and some other sketchy dropship products. I was also doing some non-sketchy stuff in ManyChat so maybe that had something to do with it. What's weird is that I had already stopped running ads for the sketchy stuff but got banned like 60 days later. I appealed it to the moon. Now when I go to appeal there's a note saying I can't appeal anymore and the decision is final. lol. FB hates me.

Also, the reason i want to rent/buy accts is because I want to run some insurance, SSDI, and financial ads but I can't risk my only account. I've even turned away clients recently because I felt their products/services were going to be heavily scrutinized by FB and I don't want anything messing with my only solid acct.

If by new windows profile you mean a new account on your computer then yes that should be fine. Cookies don't translate between accounts. There are plugins that allow for multiple browser profiles but I wouldn't trust them in this case.

Best case is to just delete your personal Facebook and not worry about it. Lol.

Yes I do mean a new Windows profile. I was thinking the same thing about the browser plugins not being able to be trusted.

In this case I have a fresh laptop for this whole FB debacle. I've been using my wife's Macbook since I never logged into my account from her computer. I have a pretty nice MSI gaming laptop that I've never logged into FB on. I figure I will make multiple windows profiles inside of that machine.

Did you read that Buzzfeed article about Ads Inc? I really like what they were doing Raspberry Pis and renting accts. I think if someone is wanting to go full blackhat, that's probably the best way to go about it.

I actually haven't read it but just checked it. It's a pretty smart operation, seeing as how the main limiting factor in most BH affiliate operations is the number of high-spend accounts they have access to on Facebook. Always someone looking for a system or loophole to amass as many as possible lmao

Are image ads still feasible for drop shipping products or only videos gain you success properly?
