Everyone who has all the traffic they need for their website please raise your hand!
Anyone?
No?
I didn't think so - I didn't raise my hand, either. :)
We ALL need more traffic. It's the lifeblood of any website. You could build the most amazing website in the world but if no one shows up to see it then you've accomplished nothing.
While you're waiting for the day more people show up to your website others are taking the bull by the horns and forcing that traffic to happen right now...today...this very minute.
Do you know what being able to drive thousands of targeted visitors to a new post on your website could mean to you?
You certainly won't if you don't at least try.
I've coached hundreds (I bet I'm about to cross the thousand mark if I haven't already) on how to make money as an affiliate marketer and I focus on keeping things as cheap as possible because I don't want you to have to spend money you don't need to spend.
However, paying for traffic is the single fastest way to get traffic and when you're eager to make money, get email list opt-ins, test out how an audience responds to your products or website, or build a following for your website you should learn how to bring that traffic in on demand...exactly when you want it rather than waiting for Google to
decide you've earned it.
If the process is too complex, though, it's really hard to share it safely with a wide group of people. I know that if I'm not careful in the process I lay out for others to follow I could end up sending people down the wrong path and I would never want to do that.
You know me - I'm all about developing processes!
It's taken me quite a bit of testing to come up with a process for using Facebook ads that is both simple and effective.
I've had a number of email questions about this new strategy and wanted to share the answers with you below.
FAQ:
Can I use this strategy to sell my own products (digital or physical)? Yes. As long as you have a website of your own where you can publish a post so that you can direct traffic from your Facebook ad to that post.
Do I have to have a Facebook account? Yes, you do need a Facebook account in order to run ads. However, your Facebook account doesn't have to have a ton of activity (or any at all). You also want a Facebook Page for your website. The ebook tells you how to build this. Your Facebook Page will not show your name and
no one will be able to tell you own that Facebook Page unless you want them to know.
Is this some kind of software? No. This is an ebook filled with step-by-step instructions.
How quickly can I see traffic once I've set up my ad? You can start to see traffic within an hour of your ad being approved.
How long does it take for an ad to be approved? It can take up to 24 hours although I've never had to wait that long. I've had ads approved within an hour and I've had ads that took 5-6 hours for approval. It seems to depend on how busy Facebook is when you submit the ad.
Can I use this strategy to promote my online store? Yes, as long as you have a blog-type section on your site where you can publish a post you can use this strategy to get traffic to your online store.
Can I use this strategy to help sell more of my Etsy items? Yes, but I would send the traffic to your own website and list your Etsy items on the website. You'll need to be able to publish a post on the website and then send the Facebook ad traffic to that post.
How is this method different than other Facebook ad strategies? Many Facebook ad strategies have you promote a product directly on Facebook resulting in low clicks on your ads because people aren't typically on Facebook to shop. Instead, this strategy has you tap into your audience by focusing on their interests first and then
promoting products. This results in much higher clicks on your ad and a lower cost-per-click.
I've heard it's hard to come up with the right image to use in a Facebook ad, is that the case with this strategy? No. In fact, the image is the easiest step of all with this method.
Will I make sales with my first ad? I usually see sales with each new ad I run using this strategy but I don't usually have a positive ROI with the first ad. However, that first ad helps you see what you should revise so that you can run the ad again. It usually takes me 2-3 revisions to get the right combination that
generates more sales.
Will you be closing this product soon? No, but the price does go up on March 5th.
