U – Uplevel Ads 

Let’s take a look at a Marie Forleo ad driving people to a Quiz.

 

Quiz Funnels remain one of the cheapest ways to attract leads at scale.

 

The downside is they can take longer to get converting and to start seeing results.

 

One of the best ways to catch people’s attention is through identifying their pain points.

 

Marie does a great job in the open hook of this ad. 

 

I think most of us business owners can relate to these pain points at some stage in our growth.

 

I love how Marie puts a label on the problem she is solving – “Time Stress”.

 

Time management has limited appeal. Everyone talks about stress.

 

But time stress feels like an entirely new concept. 

 

How can youinnovatively label the problem you solve?

 

I love the clean yellow backed image. Just 13 words and an image of Marie. 

 

Definitely one to try in your next campaign.

Let’s take a look at a Marie Forleo Quiz opt-in page.

 

The Quiz is a lead generator for her Time Genius Program that launches in September.

 

This isn’t Marie’s best copy.

 

“Are bad habits costing you massive cash” doesn’t flow smoothly.

 

On the positive side:

  • Questions make great headlines. We are conditioned to answer questions even if they are asked on paper. This instantly starts a conversation in your visitors head.
  • The headline uses loss aversion. This is the strongest motivator for people. 
  • I love how Marie has come up with a way of calculating a dollar amount for the what your bad habits are costing you. If you’re bad habits cost you $20,000 a year and Marie has a course for $2,000 that will stop your bad habits of course you will buy it.
  • Learn how to EARN more by working LESS – Increasing primary promise – decreasing work required to get it. This formula works.

Are your Facebook ad campaigns underperforming? 

 

You’re not alone. 

 

90% of Facebook ads lose money.  

 

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

 

You can run profitable Facebook. Here are some simple steps to get you started:  

 

Let’s face it, running Facebook ads can be frustrating. But, with the right strategy, you can create a successful campaign that attracts leads and makes sales. 

The first step to a successful Facebook ad campaign is to target the right audience. Research your target audience’s pain points, interests, and behaviors. Then, create an ad that speaks directly to their pain and their goals.

 

The second step is to create an attention-grabbing headline that instantly captures your audience’s attention. Make sure your headline is specific, outcome-orientated, and unique. You have to tell them the benefit of taking action. What’s in it for them.

 

The third and final step is to optimize your landing page. Your starting target should be a 40% on-page conversion rate. Ensure your landing page message matches your ad, is mobile-friendly, and has a clear and compelling call to action.

 

To sum up, running a successful Facebook ad campaign takes time and effort, but the rewards are worth it. Target the right audience, create an attention-grabbing headline, and optimize your landing page. Start small and keep improving. You’ve got this!

ChatGPT Prompt of the Week

Prompt Objective: 

Lead2Launch ChatGPT Facebook Ad Drafting Prompt Series – Step 6

 

Continue in the same chat as Step 5.

 

Today’s prompt is: 

  • Step 5 – Ad variation drafting

 

Prompt Outline:

I want you to act as an expert direct-response copywriter

 

Your job is to draft a Facebook ad that sends people to the opt-in page you drafted in the last chat.

 

Your goal is to maximize the number of people who opt-in for the lead magnet.

 

Applying all the principles of direct response copywriting. Writing in the styles of Eugene Schwartz, Jeff Ovigly, Gary Halbert, and Claud Hopkins, I want you to draft Facebook ad copy using the AIDA approach.

 

  1. Attention: I want to capture the user’s attention immediately and make them stop scrolling. You can use a mix of both pain points, challenges, desires and ambitions to capture attention.
  2. Interest: I want to pique the user’s curiosity about our approach and the lead magnet. Make them want to learn more.
  3. Desire: I need to make them feel that they need my lead magnet. Emphasizing how their life will be better once they apply my solution.
  4. Action: Finally, I need a strong call to action that prompts them to click the ad, visit our opt-in page and register for the lead magnet.

 

Your copy should sound relaxed, fun, and human. The copy provided should pass all AI detection tests. Come up with exciting and unique angles that sound fresh and original. Refrain from drafting content that sounds overhyped or over-sensationalized. 

 

Use all the data you have learned about my avatar to draft compelling ad copy.

 

I want you to produce 3 lengths of ads:

  • Short-form
  • Medium-form
  • Long-form

 

For each length specified above, I want you to draft 3 ads.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, please commence drafting the ad copy.

U – Uplevel Ads 

Controversy gets attention.

 

And no one causes controversy on Facebook and Instagram like Aleric Heck.

 

Aleric has a YouTube ad agency and coaching program.

 

And he loves pointing out that YouTube Ads are superior to Facebook Ads on…..

 

Yep, you’ve guessed it Facebook and Instagram.

 

Let’s dive into one of his ads.

blank

Then we move into the body of the ad.

blank

This is where things start hotting up. This section is clear, concise, and compelling. Each point is an answer to an objection that someone may have getting started with Facebook ads. 

 

More stuff isn’t the goal. It’s how you layout your argument and leave no objection unanswered to make saying yes a “no-brainer” decision.

 

But the creative is where this ad comes alive…

blank

First Aleric positions the audience: COACHES.

 

I’m not a fan of including “Attention Coaches” in the first line of ad copy, but I do like calling them out directly in the image.

 

And then the hammer blow – YouTube Ads Beat Facebook Ads Everytime.

 

This is highly evocative, especially as the ad is on Facebook. There is no question but this ad is going to draw lots of attention and comments.

N – Now Launching

The ad above leads people into a book-a-call funnel for Aleric’s YouTube Ads coaching program.

 

Let’s start off with the opt-in page.

blank

Simple single-screen structure with all info above the fold.

 

Headline, body copy, form, image, and CTA. AKA my favorite layout.

Remember, the goal is to get qualified people to book a call.

 

Including the phone number and industry will reduce the on-page conversion, but it will increase the quality of people entering the funnel.

 

I love the “Free Bonus Gift”. 

 

Remember, people don’t know they have entered a book-a-call funnel.

 

Aleric positions the call as the free bonus. This is a wonderful reframe, which will work a treat. 

blank

On the next page, Aleric tells you the Free Bonus is worth $850. 

 

He doesn’t disclose this on the landing page, as he doesn’t want people who are only interested in getting $850 of free stuff.

 

Remember, people don’t know that the free bonus is a strategy call yet.

blank

On the final step of the funnel Aleric tells you what your $850 free bonus is….

 

….A YouTube Ads Implementation Call with an Advisor.

 

At this stage, Aleric has 

From Step 1:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Mobile
  • Business type

 

From Step 2:

  • Current monthly revenue
  • Desired monthly revenue
  • Monthly ad spend

Even if people don’t book a call at this stage, they have more than enough info to follow up and make a compelling case for you to sign up for their coaching program.

 

Oh wait…… I have to dash…… my phone is ringing…. I wonder who it could be!

Is your Facebook Ad account at risk of being shut down? 

 

If you’re a course creator or membership site owner, listen up! 

 

The risk of Facebook shutting down your account is real, and it’s time to face it head-on. 

 

Here’s how to avoid it. 

 

The Facebook Ad account policies are extensive and often unclear. You’re not alone if you feel overwhelmed. But fear not, I’ve got your back! In this thread, I’ll share some essential policies you need to know to avoid ad account shut down.

 

First, never use “before and after” images in your ads. Facebook considers them “personal attributes,” and that’s a big no-no. Second, avoid using “get rich quick” language. Facebook wants to promote financial stability and not scams. Lastly, never use profanity or sexual language. Keep it professional!

 

Next, be mindful of your ad targeting. Avoid targeting or calling out personal attributes like race, religion, or political affiliation. Facebook takes this seriously, and it’s essential to respect people’s privacy. Also, never use misleading or false information in your ads. Honesty is the best policy!

 

Finally, don’t promote prohibited content. Facebook prohibits ads promoting tobacco, drugs, adult products, and dangerous supplements. Make sure to check the full list of prohibited content before creating your ads. Avoiding prohibited content will keep your account safe!

 

The best path to avoiding Facebook shutting down your Ad account is to understand the guidelines and policies. Never use “before and after” images or call out personal attributes, avoid “get rich quick” language, never mislead your audience, and never use profanity.
