This is the #1 mistake everyone makes when posting ads on Facebook
Even marketers who don’t sell in the eCommerce space understand the importance of posting ads on Facebook. But what people don’t understand are the nuts and bolts behind the Facebook algorithms. It’s designed to do the heavy lifting for you! The #1 mistake people make is not understanding how the Facebook marketing process works. This is not a process that you should simply guess at and hope for the best. When done well, posting ads on Facebook can be one of the greatest marketing assets your business will have.
Facebook’s marketing algorithm is designed to work with options - let it work for you!
eCommerce marketers spend an inordinate amount of time writing
the perfect copy, selecting the best image, and coming up with the
greatest tagline for every. single. ad. Thus, they only run a
handful of ads at a time. This is NOT the best way to create a
winning Facebook marketing strategy. Here's why.
Facebook’s algorithm is designed to work best with OPTIONS. You’ll
see much higher success rates if you give the algorithm a variety
of images, copy, taglines, and potential audiences to work with. To
hear my full explanation on why this is the best way to approach
posting ads on Facebook, listen now to this episode.
You need to adopt an ad money mindset - it’s an investment!
Posting ads on Facebook can become expensive, especially as you

marketing and advertising dollars as an investment. It WILL provide
valuable insights into your business and how your target market
interacts with your business online.
This ad money mindset is crucial if you want to move forward with
your eCommerce business and become scalable. After the first few
rounds of running many ads, you’ll start to see what’s working the
best. That’s where you should then devote your budget.
