People love to feel they are on the inside. That they know something others don’t.

People want to feel like they are in the popular gang.

You can definitely leverage it in your ads.

This ad is more than likely a retargeting ad for Amy’s second signature program – 

List Builders Society.

I say retargeting because running FB ads to a cold audience for a $497 product is a tough ask.

High-Converting Video Ads – Optimization Strategy for Success

High-Converting Video Ads – Optimization Strategy for Success

blank

Want high-converting video ads? The key to success is attention-grabbing Creative.

Most advertisers struggle to consistently produce a high return on ad spend.

Video Ads will transform your results.

Here are 6 simple steps to producing high-converting video ads.

If you want to grow your online course or membership business with Facebook ads, video is your best way forward. Video ads can boost conversions by up to 80%? But if they aren’t produced properly, they’ll suck. In this post, I’ll show you how to do it.

Video ad optimization tip 1

Start with a problem

We are hardwired to pay attention to things that will help us survive or thrive. We ignore everything else. Start off with a big pain point your audience needs to solve. Knowing your audience is key to picking problems that will grab their attention.

Video ad optimization tip 2

Write a compelling script 

Here’s a video structure that works: Hook > Problem > Solution(Offer) > CTA. Remember, people don’t care about you or your solution. They only care about how you can improve their lives. Make your script entirely about them.

Video ad optimization tip 3

Keep it short and sweet

As a knowledge-based business, your video ads will bring people to a lead magnet or mini-front-end offer. For these funnels, keep your video ads to under 30 seconds. Get your message across quickly and effectively.

Video ad optimization tip 4

Use a pattern interrupt

Start your video with an interesting on-screen movement or video effect. Do something in the first second that visually grabs people’s attention. This will buy you 3-5 seconds to say something interesting that convinces them to keep watching the rest of the video.

Video ad optimization tip 5

Add captions

Most users watch videos on Facebook with the sound off. Captions will ensure your message gets across, even in silent mode.

Video ad optimization tip 6

Use a strong call-to-action (CTA) 

Your CTA should be specific, clear, and compelling. Encourage users to take the desired action, whether it’s signing up for a free trial or making a purchase.

Whether you are just starting out or you want to scale your online course and membership business, Facebook video ads need to be part of your creative strategy. The first 5 seconds of your video are the most important. Focus on this first.

Optimize Your Facebook Ads

Ever feel like you’re wasting money on your Facebook ads?  Tired of low conversions and not making the money you want from your ads?  Here are 9 steps to optimize your Facebook ads.

You want to make sales, but it seems like everyone else is seeing better results than you. The truth is that if you’re not testing, you’re leaving money on the table. But where do you start? Here’s what you need to know. 

Ad Optimization Step 1:

Define Your Conversion Goals. Know what success looks like for your business.

(The 2 most important metrics = CPL & CPA) 

Ad Optimization Step 2:

Create a Testing Plan. Identify potential areas for testing and prioritize. 

(Areas to test – headline, creative, opening hook, body copy, audience) 

Ad Optimization Step 3:

Kill the Duds. Switch off underperforming ads. Create variations of winning ads.

(never touch a winning ad. duplicate and make changes to the copy)   

Ad Optimization Step 4:

Refine your Messaging. Leverage positive feedback loops. 

(Use what works to create a unique value proposition.)

Ad Optimization Step 5:

Optimize Your Landing Page. Often this can be your highest ROI activity.

(Key sections in order: headline, subhead, image, body copy, CTA)

Ad Optimization Step 6:

Use Heat Maps and User Recordings. Track visitor behavior and optimize based on their actions. 

Ad Optimization Step 7:

Analyze Your Results. Data is useless without interpretation. What is the data telling you? Let it inform your next steps.

Ad Optimization Step 8:

Rinse and Repeat. Most people don’t get the results they want because they quit too soon. Stay in the game. 

Now you have the tools to drive data-driven success and increase conversions. Remember to start small, and test everything. With consistent effort, you can optimize your Facebook ad campaigns and achieve the results you deserve.
