Advertising on Facebook: A Step By Step Video Tutorial of the Facebook Ads Manager with Miles Beckler
About a month ago, we published an epic podcast episode with online entrepreneur & digital marketing expert Miles Beckler. In that episode, Miles outlined the exact process he uses in 2019 to build profitable marketing funnels for his primary online business.
Miles calls these “self-liquidating funnels” and talks about how actually building one is something that most marketers and entrepreneurs will never achieve. Well, Miles has certainly cracked the code to creating these profitable sales funnels and keeps no secrets to himself when outlining his methods and techniques.
After publishing that episode and article, we received such an amazing response that we decided to create a follow-up post for you detailing one of the most important aspects of Miles’ strategy: How to create a high-converting offer using Facebook lookalike audiences.
Miles generously agreed to do a full video tutorial of the Facebook Ads platform for everyone in our audience. So, our founder & CEO, Eric, sat down with him and created what we hope is an incredibly valuable piece of content for you.
In the training video we recorded, Miles shows you exactly what you need to do to get up and running with Facebook Advertising, including detailed explanations of custom & lookalike audiences, the art of crafting ad copy, how to navigate Facebook’s ad manager, and much more. This is a step-by-step tutorial designed to give you both an action plan and the inspiration to get started.
If you’re unfamiliar with the power of Facebook lookalike audiences, be sure to check out our podcast episode featuring Kyle Weiger where he shares how the effective leveraging of lookalike audiences helped him generate over $200,000 in revenue selling his online course in just over 6-months.
What You'll Learn
After you watch this video, you’ll be fully equipped to put the power of custom & lookalike audiences to work and get your first Facebook Ad up and running. Miles doesn’t hold anything back in this training and generously shares from his wealth of experience.
Speaking from experience here, the quality of this content is on par – if not better – than what you would get from a paid ‘Intro to Facebook Ads' course. And the best part? It’s coming from someone who is still in the trenches of Facebook’s Advertising platform day in and day out.
If Facebook Advertising is something you’ve been wanting to try to grow your membership or subscription site, sell your online courses, or grow your email list, but have been too overwhelmed to start, you will not want to miss this free video training.
Even if you’re already up and running with your Facebook Ads, Miles' tutorial can help give you a competitive edge and assist you in leveling up your current advertising strategy. Miles speaks from his years of experience and thousands upon thousands of dollars spent learning Facebook’s Advertising platform through trial and error.
