Have your Facebook & Instagram ads stopped working? Did they ever work at all?

By far, the most common questions Danny Twoguns and I got since the last episode of this podcast were about targeting. People were very clear that they wanted DETAILED INFORMATION about exactly how to set up their ad targeting... none of the "nebulous" bullshit that people are tossing around.

These questions come from everyone from start-up personal trainers, online coaches, and yoga teachers to 8-figure serial entrepreneurs. Each of them obviously has its own unique circumstances and differences, but there does tend to be one commonality.

One step that they're all not taking.

The next step.

They take the first step just fine. They boost the post. They set up the sweet targeting parameters within a 5mile radius of the shop. They might have even installed the Facebook pixel on their Linktree. Oooohhhh.

But nothing happens. They think "that's it?" and "☹️ Facebook ads don't work."

But they for do nothing with the folks who watched the video, or Saved the post, or clicked the link right before she had to put her phone away because her daughter was crying - and then forgot to come back.

That's the step they're missing. And it's probably the step you're missing.

Here's a general overview of the topics

Here's a quick overview of some of the topics we cover.

And we also took questions from the RTV FB group.

Bernadette asked about how the hell you target people.
Kassidy asked how to use Facebook & Instagram ads to sell out her expensive yoga retreat.
Dio wanted to know how to build ad campaigns to get clients for his online coaching business
Susan wanted to know how to use Facebook ads to attract an older clientele who might benefit from her grief counseling services
Bethany asked how to use ads to get yoga clients in Japan as an American woman.

All of those questions answered in this episode, and if you want to submit a question like this for a future episode, join the group and let us know.

Some of this episode is advanced, so if anything goes over your head, just bear with us for a few moments longer. We'll get to the simplification or an example that will make it click.

If you have any questions about any of this stuff, join us in the Confidence, Influence & Random Talking Video Facebook group. Danny, Kassidy, and I are in there a lot and we're always down to help out.
