tactics and secrets to get,there fast let's dive in hey there I'm,West McDowell web strategist for the,deep end and if you're not subscribed to,channel yet just go ahead and click on,subscribe button and a little bell icon,next to it so you never miss another,video you need to succeed online so I've,done a few videos now on the topic of,Facebook ads and almost every time I,make one live I get one or two comments,from people saying Facebook ads don't,work for me they don't work anymore,here's the thing Facebook ads do work,and they can work but there's a catch,which is you have to do them right one,big piece of the puzzle is getting your,targeting dialed in right meaning you're,showing your ad to the exact right,people the other piece is creating a,really killer ad and by that I mean the,image and the text that make the ad up,and when you've got both of those just,right you can really do some damage with,the right Facebook ad so in this video,I'm going to show you all my best tips,and tricks to writing a Facebook ad like,that that really connects with people,and gets them to convert or click,through to your website and because I,know it helps I'm going to show you,three solid examples so you can actually,kind of see these principles in action,but before we get to the writing tips,and the examples I do want to mention,there are a few cases where Facebook ads,generally work the best and the first is,for lead generation so what that is,you're not really advertising your,product you're advertising a lead magnet,that people go they give over their,email address for that lead magnet and,now they're on your email list so that's,case one the next great way to use a,Facebook ad is for remarketing so,basically putting an advertisement in,front of somebody who's already,interacted with you or your website and,the third is advertising an actual offer,so not just advertising here's our,business here's what we do but you're,putting an actual offer in front of them,and this works really well especially,for local businesses like if you're a,pizza restaurant you might advertise,your Tuesday night only two-for-one,special,doesn't work so great for is just,overall kind of brand recognition or,just letting people know about your,business and who you are that can work,but it's not cheap you know people need,to see an ad like that many times before,they'll take action so it's generally,not recommended for most small,businesses out there so there are a few,basic rules that you want to keep in,mind when you're writing your ad in,order to make it as irresistible as,possible to your potential customers and,the first thing is this and this is very,important okay so people rarely buy,products or services just to you know,collect products and services they buy,them because of the transformation,they're promising or the problem they're,solving so think of Starbucks okay if,people just want a copy they could get,it cheaper just about anywhere you know,and arguably people tell me the Dunkin,Donuts has even better coffee than,Starbucks people go to Starbucks because,of the way it makes them feel about,themselves right they're basically,buying their way into feeling,sophisticated and I live in Chicago and,right now it's kind of we're coming off,of winter and Canada Goose jackets and,coats are huge right here right now I,see people wearing them who probably,have no business buying a thousand,dollar coat but they buy them because of,the transformation,they feel they and speaking of winter,you can probably hear my radiators,kicking on right now it's an old,building sorry about that but so,basically they buy these Canada Goose,jackets that are really expensive,because of that transformation that the,company's promising them and the way,they feel when they wear it and I know,this because even when they get to where,they're going they kind of leave the,jacket on they don't want to take it off,they're not buying it just for the,warmth there's many other coats that are,a fraction takasi tur just as warm,they're not buying it for the three,layer waterproof fabric they're buying,it for that feeling if you're selling,extermination services people are not,paying for a guy to come in their house,and spray chemicals around you know,they're paying for the peace of mind of,knowing that their home is infestation,free so always focus and lead with the,transformation you're promising or the,problem,you're solving next you want to use some,kind of social proof so people are,naturally distrustful of ads on Facebook,especially if they see an ad they tend,to keep scrolling so anytime you can use,basically a former customer or a current,customer saying good things about your,business that's going to go over well,that can either be a written testimonial,or a photo of them or a video talking,about the experience they had with you,anytime you can use anything like that,go for it,all right next use scarcity and,deadlines and ever possible so people,are motivated by that FOMO the fear of,missing out so anytime you can let them,know that this isn't going to last,forever you kind of have to act now,that's gonna work really well because if,people know they can get we're selling,all day every day maybe they're,interested but they're gonna put it off,next before you start writing it's,really helpful to know the psychology of,the way someone takes in an ad on,Facebook so the first thing people,notice think about what you're doing at,Facebook you're scrolling through the,feed the image is the first thing that,people notice and makes them either stop,scrolling or keep going so if you're,successful in making them stop scrolling,the next thing we look at is the,headline to see if what you're talking,about is actually relevant to them if it,is and only if it is are they gonna go,back up and then read the body copy of,the ad all right so now let's jump over,the computer to take a look at three,different ads done right okay so I've,got three examples here to show you and,remember how we talked about these,falling into three categories of ads,that work really well well that is what,we're going to talk about today so this,first ad is that lead generation ad so,I've just made a mock-up of basically,what I would do for a Facebook ad for my,own lead magnet that I currently promote,on my website so it's a it's a guide,about how to guarantee website ROI so,let's start right down here at the,bottom of the ad because remember as I,said people see the photo or the image,and then they look at the headline to,see if it's relevant so they're not,really looking at the top text just yet,so this is a good place to start,so basically and we're not going to go,it too much into choosing the photos,because this video is more about writing,the ad,that converts so but I will say briefly,I was able to find this photo I was,looking for you know picture of somebody,with a computer and also is looking for,yellow because yellow has been kind of,proven to get more attention on Facebook,than just about any other color I guess,something about it standing out against,the Facebook blue so I thought this,image was pretty good so if that were to,stop someone from scrolling now that,we're gonna check out the headline which,says how your website can increase ROI,so this brings me to another thing right,here which is the use of emojis okay,this may seem cheesy this may seem,off-brand for your company especially if,you're presenting a more kind of,professional face to the world however I,will tell you that emojis do get more,attention and they make your text come,alive a little bit more than if you just,use text alone but basically I'm using,this headline to just be crystal clear,about what exactly they're going to,learn you know because you can only,there's not an unlimited amount of,characters you can use here you know you,have to be pretty conservative with the,amount of words you use otherwise your,risky being cut off so I want her to,keep it nice and short and that emoji,really helped things too so basically,how your website can increase ROI and,then what I like to do is take this,little descriptive text right underneath,the headline and give a little bit more,clarity so here's where I would say this,free video series reveals my,step-by-step system I would love to say,all that in the headline there's just,not enough room to so now let's take a,look at the the body text of the ad,itself one of my favorite ways to start,in the ad the body copy is to start it,with a question this can be a question,I'm asking of my customer or in this,case it's starting with a question that,my customer is asking themselves you,know the average business owner is,wondering this kind of thing can a,website really bring in new customers,and I'm answering that for them a 100%,yes,and notice how definitive that answer is,right I'm not using wishy-washy language,like well that depends in the right,circumstances it can I'm just saying yes,it can,and then it goes on to say the video,series will show you exactly how it's,done and then what follows underneath,this is basically capitalizing on the,idea of curiosity so take a look at,these bullet points so what I'm doing,here is basically listing all the,different things that are going to learn,inside the video series but I'm not,giving everything away you know I could,if I wanted to write really long copy I,could say what the three-step formula is,I could say what the two magic questions,are I could say with the most important,but most commonly mishandled element on,any web pages I'm basically giving,people just a glimpse of what we're,gonna learn and giving them just enough,information these basically trigger,questions in the brain of whoever's,looking at this ad right you know they,they look at these bullet points and now,they're questioning okay what are those,two magic questions I have to know that,what is the secret weapon content type I,really want to know that too okay and,here we have our next example which,falls under the remarketing or,retargeting category so in this case in,this ad so let's say that somebody has,gone to the website of exquisite events,Dallas they've checked it out and now,what we want to do is follow up with an,ad that either gives social proof in,this case like a testimonial like we've,done here or with some kind of objection,busting content but I do love using,social proof and this is a great way to,do it so basically what I've done here,with the head so basically this image,would be you know that would be a real,photo of a real wedding that's another,kind of image that works really well is,something that doesn't look like it's a,professionally slick photo and now for,the headline I decided to use social,proof so basically what I did there's,all kinds of websites just Google in,WebM of G's and you can copy and paste,them so I just copied and pasted five,stars and then a quote from a couple,that's really going to move the needle,for someone so think about the person,getting married and they're decorated,they're thinking about decorating their,their venue what are they really looking,for they're kind of looking they're,looking for a night that they've always,wanted but they're also looking to,impress their friends with,as well right that's just kind of how,human beings are wired so to say the,compliments were non-stop really feeds,into that and then the description,underneath that says a little bit more,clarity a little more context letting,people know exactly what it is we do,which is will transform your wedding,venue into what you've always dreamed of,remember that word transform that's,really big you would definitely want to,always focus on that transformation that,you were giving your customer so let's,go back up to the top and now with the,body copy again I'm leading with the,question ever been to a wedding that was,just Matt now almost everyone that reads,this is probably going to think yes I,have and I don't want that for my,wedding right so what we're doing here,is we've painted a problem you know,we've basically brought up the problem,they're feeling and now what's,underneath that we're going to kind of,twist the knife a little bit and make,them really visualize how big a problem,this could be emphasizing beige walls,industrial chairs uninspired lighting,can make your big day feel less special,but then we're giving them a way out,right we're giving them the solution,which is our custom lighting drapery and,decor that's going to bring out the best,in your venue so you can make your,special night one you and your guests,will never forget and that's a pretty,good ad right there and I've added a few,emojis to really make it come alive more,and I've done one more thing here which,is capitalise on that scarcity tactic so,basically what I'm doing is I'm putting,that question in their brain here you,don't want to see if your date is,available what that does is it makes,people think oh wait I better act on,this quickly because they may get busy,they may fill up and I do like to add a,little text link within the body copy of,the ad as well you know you've got the,button at the bottom that says learn,more or subscribe or whatever that is,but I do like to have the text link as,an extra thing that people can click on,alright next we've got the offer style,ads so this is one where basically,you're not just advertising your,business in general you were advertising,an offer or a special or a discount a,deal of some kind that preferably has a,little bit of scarcity or a deadline,behind it so in other words it's not an,evergreen offer it's one that you are,running for a limited time only so first,I chose this photo because it's really,kind of striking with that color and I,think it would do a good job of stopping,the person from scrolling and then with,the headline I basically give a benefit,which is skip the car wash 20% off this,week only so and underneath that I,explained we're a mobile carwash so you,can get your car washed while you work,lounge or sleep so that's another,benefit and notice how in the headline I,called out specifically that it's this,week only,so then back up to the top to the body,text I start by saying you're busy right,who has time to sit around at the car,wash you know if you've been to that car,wash before where you have to sit down,for about an hour while they wash it and,detail it that really is a time suck so,we're basically calling that problem out,so that anybody who recognizes that,problem and has felt that before now,they're sitting forward and they're,interested then because I think a lot of,people might have questions about,exactly how that works I've taken a,little time to describe the process a,little bit that will arrive at your home,or office do it and then you walk out to,a sparkling clean feels like new ride,submit and I've added those emojis,around sparkling just to give it a,little bit of extra in the visual,Department and it really just makes it,kind of come alive a little bit more and,then I reiterate that 20% off do this,that's only this week and then I give a,link for them to claim that offer so,there you have it those are three,different ads in three different,categories that really check all the,boxes and are very likely to hit home,with the target market as long as you,get that targeting dialed in right and,give them good solid reasons why they,would want to take you up on your offer,all right but now I want to hear from,you and I want to know based on these,principles which kind of ad can you make,for your business either lead gen,retargeting or an offer leave it in
