Skip the Tech Overwhelm: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Running Your First Facebook Ad

Ready to stop feeling like you're talking into a void on social media? Let's get your first Facebook ad up and running – no fancy copywriter, professional photos, or complicated funnels required! 🚀

If you've been putting off Facebook ads because they feel too overwhelming or technical, this episode is your permission slip to start small and simple. I'm breaking down my tried-and-tested strategy for creating engagement ads that will help you build a warm, responsive audience without breaking the bank.

As someone who started with literally zero budget and had to get scrappy (hello, backyard photoshoots!), I know exactly how it feels to want to grow your audience without wasting precious dollars. That's why I've developed this step-by-step method that even complete beginners can implement today.

“Engagement is the fuel that Facebook runs on. When the algorithm sees engagement, it assumes that's a quality post.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Create a high-converting 5-minute Facebook Live video that captures attention in the first 10 seconds
  • Set up strategic custom audiences to capture and retarget your most engaged followers
  • Transform your live video into an engagement ad that works while you sleep
  • Scale your successful engagement ads to reach cold audiences for just pennies per engagement
  • Learn the exact benchmarks to know if your ad is performing well

Grab your favorite beverage and settle in with your notebook – you'll want to capture every step of this strategy session! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
