Decoding Success in the Evergreen Webinar Ad Strategy

Let’s talk about the evolution of a Facebook Ad. 

The biggest mistake we see advertisers make is not testing enough ad variations. 

Today instead of reviewing a single Facebook Ad, I want to take you behind the scenes and show you the evolution of a Facebook Ad.

The Ad in question is for James Wedmore’s front end webinar funnel 

The first version of this ad was published in August 2022. 

There is a valuable lesson here in its own right. You are better focusing on scaling one funnel instead of building many funnels. Many large online businesses have been built on the back of just one lead magnet.

In December 2022 an updated variation of this ad was published.

Then in February 2023, we see a host of new ad variations published. I have chosen two for you below:

February 2023 Ad v1

February 2023 Ad v2

Inspiration for your ads:

  • If you find a winner, ride it all the way home (until it collapses and dies!) Despite testing multiple versions the fact that James is still running an ad from August 2022 means that it is outperforming the latest tests.
  • Facebook is not always rational! Even inferior ads (copy and image) can outperform superior ads if Facebook gets into a groove and finds the perfect segment of an audience. Never make any changes to an ad that is performing well.
  • It is important to test different themes. We can see all of the above ads are leading people to the same point from different directions. When starting out with a new campaign I like to come up with at least 4 different themes. These themes are then tested over time.
  • Look at the ads. Which do you think will convert best? In the long run I am sure the February ads will outperform the earlier ads. “..flying off the shelves” is not a stong proposition. “Your Sales Page isn’t converting because it contains AT LEAST 1 of these 5 Major Mistakes” is soooo much more powerful.
  • Your “X” isn’t “Y” because its making AT LEAST 1 of these “#” major mistakes” is an opening hook that can be adapted for almost any ad.
  • I avoided emojis for a long time in my ads, however, cringy as they may be, they work. Especially in opening two lines of the body copy. My hypothesis is that they act as a pattern interrupt while people are scrolling rather than people loving emojis.
  • You can’t natively bold text in Facebook ads. However, if you use a service like: https://yaytext.com/ you can enter you text and apply hundreds of effects. Again this will make your ad stand out.

Evergreen Webinar Funnel – Opt-in Page Optimization

blank

A little bit more “happening” on this opt-in page compared to the last few we have reviewed. 

For the 3rd week in a row (and not by design) we are reviewing an evergreen webinar opt-in page

Now remember a good opt-in page is a good opt-in page whether you are getting people to sign up for a webinar, launch workshop, lead magnet or newsletter. The language may differ but the conversion principles remain the same.

 Inspiration for your landing page:

  • Let’s zoom out for a second. If you have a digital product or program (or are thinking about launching one) you know how important your sales page is. With this webinar James is solving a top 1% problem for online business owners. This is an incredibly smart play. Oftentimes the success of your funnel will be dictated before you ever draft a line of copy for your opt-in page or ads. Choose wisely. What’s a top 1% problem for your audience?
  • A personal photo. Eyes connecting with the audience and smiling. This is my go to starting image for an opt-in page. Also notice how James finger leads your eyes directly to the “Register Now” button.
  • We are hit straight away with “>>>>> FREE TRAINING!<<<<<”. Now some people argue that “Free” attracts a certain kind of person but the conversion stats don’t lie. Including free in both Facebook ads and landing pages can increase your conversions. As with everything testing is important but I like to start with free and then test it’s absence rather than the other way around. 
  • This is a strong headline “5 Sales Page Hacks” – We have specificity in the 3,5,7,9 series which you know I’m a fan of. Everyone wants a short cut, they want a guarantee that all their dreams will come true, immediately, without doing any work. “Hacks” promise all this in one word. Again there is a certain type of person to whom hacks will appeal. But it is the vast majority of people.
  • The sub head paints the desired future outcome – “get your digital program or product into the hands of thousands” – “high-converting sales page”
  • “You’re About to Discover” What you will discover is much more powerful than “What you will learn”. It makes it sound exciting and an adventure. It is also future paces you past registering. It is a soft form of an embedded command.
  • How my client Erika made an extra $30,000 simply by adding this one element to her sales page is the strongest line on the page. You need to hunt for results like this in your business to use them for this very purpose. This one line could sell the webinar in it’s own right. 
  • This is an evergreen webinar so there is no time deadline. The next best psychological trigger to a deadline is scarcity. As this is evergreen, using “limited seats” is questionable, however, I am sure there is a cap on the maximum number of concurrent users on the system.
