Should you always create video and image ads as regular posts on your page and then when you create your ad, just select them as an existing post or are there certain times when you don't need to do that? You can just create, upload an image and write the ad copy, right from the ads manager? And is there like a good rule of thumb to know, you know, when to do what?
So the only time you want to do it right from the ads manager is always...
I've got a client who is doing this is diabetes treatment that is unlike any other. It's been around for 20 years, but it hasn't been promoted very well. And, when you're promoting stuff on Facebook, especially in the medical world, the ad got rejected.
A number of times I kept kicking back and it finally got approved and this the client, they don't really want emails. They want phone calls...
Do not try to out-work me, out-smart me instead.
Over the holiday, I got a message from someone very important to me, and they're going through a good rebirth of business. This individual is experiencing some focus issues and said that one of their ambitions was to out-work me. My immediate response, because I care very much about this person, was "please don't do that. Instead out-smart me."
So I say to you, don't try to out-work me. Definitely not from a place of ego...
If you were doing a State of the Union today with a topic like podcasting, or really any, any topic cuz I know so many of the people in this group, how would you structure it if you were looking for, you know, pointing them to more of an agency application type of funnel, rather than like a info product or a lower end product? Or would you strictly do it for a positioning standpoint of kind of putting the entire industry, niche on notice from that perspective?
I'm trying to find out if you have any tips on how I can engage this beta group and extract as much information as possible so I can really hone in on that viable, what that minimum viable product is.
I don't know if I would...how big is the beta group?
So there's 30 families now, so 60 individuals...
The hard part is the implementation aspect or the over analysis of like, oh God, I know I should do this. Should I change the color of the button purple and all this other stuff or, to some of these points, I hear a general sentiment of I kinda know what I need to do, I've heard it before, I'm just having trouble pulling the trigger.
How would you address someone who's in that specific situation?
I'd really like to see what I can do to optimize engagement and click through rate on our current email newsletter. I'm seeing that our lead magnet, it has a great open rate. It's an 80% open rate, 60% click through, and then subsequent emails out the gate, you know, it's about a 20/25% open and 6% click through rate.
What recommendations do you have to really kind of help boost that sort of thing?
Any advice on how to learn to put a good course together? I finally feel like this is possible for me. I'm a legal recruiter and realize I have a ton of advice that will be helpful to young, new attorneys.
Dude, here's what I would do. If I was you..
What do you recommend for Book funnels in terms of advertising? Alright. Specifically referencing my Intent Based Branding methodology. And so I will give that answer regardless of methodology. So if the objective of the campaign is to sell a book, you first have to look at what is the objective of selling the book.
Do you want to make an immediate profit during that?
Do you want them to consume the book and then become fans and then buy more stuff later.
What's the end result?
As I pivot more from the services side or the agency side to the coaching stuff, just curious your thoughts on how to accurately categorize the appropriate price of that in my head and how to continue to elevate that.
So there's a couple things. 1. It's gotta be consulting, not coaching...
