I love these FBA series so much. Tremendous amount of value in this one video alone. One tip on lookalike audiences: never focus entirely on your 1% or 2% audiences. As you start to scale you'll notice that LLAs further down the spectrum will also perform well, so don't put all your eggs in one basket! I also see people relying entirely on the purchase event and ignoring others completely. I think one you forget to mention was creating LLA of people who watched 95% of a video. Surprisingly this is crushing it in several of our campaigns. I've found videos at least 30 secs in length tend to work best here.
Thanks. Had a query. I created a Custom audience - who visited a specific web page. I put in the url there. It show audience under 1000. All fine till here. But when I go back to see / edit that custom audience set up, the url field shows blank ! Any reason why it does not show the url?
Hi thanks for the video, if we dont have the web site then how can target the audience. I am in Au and want to target vietnamese people in Au. What is the suggestion you would have. Thank you
How do I add more names to an existing custom audience facebook list that I have already uploaded to facebook? Or do I have to add more names to a new list then upload that new list?
Feature is unavailableAd accounts owned by businesses that are new to Facebook Products can create customer file Custom Audiences after several weeks of following our policies. How can I fix this
how can we create custom audiences based on people that viewed specific category page and bought items, so we can LLA audiences based of that custom audience and not mixed up with audience from other category pages ?
HI there! I don't have customers that have bought in the past. I have been in business for 1 year and I've posted/boosted in Facebook throughout this year in business. Unfortunately I don't think I've connected to my niche because I haven't had any customers call me or book via online. So thaen how IN WORLD can I find my niche. I've tried using key words but they haven't worked either. HELP!
Hey Bielka- Are you a member of any Facebook groups on social media marketing? People are typically super helpful, so you might be able to get some help in there.

Thanks for this! Sorry for this lengthy question - but I'm really struggling to find an answer. I handle a few ad accounts from my business manager and I'm trying to create a custom audience for a client using an email list by uploading csv. file. Every time that I try, I am met with this message "To create customer audiences from customer lists, you must add this ad account to a business." So, I click "Add to business". Then asks me to select a business manager account... I select my business manager and it says "Your business already has access to this asset" (which is true, the accounts are already connected.) As a result, I am unable to create the audience because it thinks the ad account is not connected to a business manager. Are you familiar with this issue and able to offer some guidance?
ahh that's very frustrating! this sounds like it's potentially a bug in the backend of Facebook... my best advice would be to speak to Ad Support via this link: facebook.com/business/help - best of luck Hunter!
Hello, thank you! Is it possible to see demographic stat of custom audience? For instance I created audience: buyers of product 1 and want to see demographic info and graphs of that audience. Thanks! Jan
Hey Diana- You really can't without a Website--what are you advertising? Where would they "buy"? Social media platforms are rented land, so really and truly you should be driving folks to a website and collecting their email addresses. -Megan🤓
Hey Lani - How are people signing up and paying? It doesn't matter what you are selling, in my opinion. My same advice holds true, and that is Facebook's policy, so there's no way around it as far as I can tell. -Megan🤓
Hi, I really appreciate what you are doing on this channel. I‘m creating custom audiences before launching my FB ads, but I have one problem that almost all our sales come from Facebook. We have more than 30K FB likes and almost all our audience are from FB. When they want to buy our products they just write us a message. We make about 200-300 sales a month just from FB messages. So the main problem is that I do not have an email list of my clients and do not have data about my previous customers (Basically I do, but only their Facebook names) Talking about website traffic, we have installed Pixel only about 3weeks ago and in that time about 1k people have visited our site so I guess it‘s not enough to create a custom audience from that data right? So what would be the best alternatives for your opinion in our situation? I‘m thinking that the first custom audience can be the people who wrote us a message on our FB page (because almost all our clients write to us). I am also thinking about creating LAA from that custom audience. In total I would like to create 4adsets in my campaign 1) Custom audience of people who wrote us a message 2) LAA of this custom audience. Can you suggest me what else should I target? Maybe create a custom audience from our FB page likes and then create LAA of this audience? Or maybe it 3 add sets would be better in our situation instead of 4adsets? I would really appreciate if you can give me your honest opinion. Thank you in advance!

OK holy crap all of that sounds great. Thanks for this. I don't know why I don't think of my ads like a funnel. Makes sense todo that.
Great video! Thank you
I don’t see all these options in my business suite. Is it because am using phone?
Love your video.

Thanks so much for watching! 😄-Jen
absolute pleasure, thanks for watching :)
Ive just set up the fb pixel on my page. I was running google ads for the last year or so will this way grab those people who have visited my website?
Yo question, so my custom audiences were in high thousands and now when trying to create new ones they are all under 1000. Did something change?
Hi thanks for the video, if we dont have the web site then how can target the audience.
I am in Au and want to target vietnamese people in Au. What is the suggestion you would have.
Thank you
How do I add more names to an existing custom audience facebook list that I have already uploaded to facebook? Or do I have to add more names to a new list then upload that new list?
I would upload that as a brand new list and create a new custom audience :)
Feature is unavailableAd accounts owned by businesses that are new to Facebook Products can create customer file Custom Audiences after several weeks of following our policies.
How can I fix this
how can we create custom audiences based on people that viewed specific category page and bought items, so we can LLA audiences based of that custom audience and not mixed up with audience from other category pages ?
Thank you great information
Thanks, Chris.
thanks for watching :)
this is easy part. hard part is setting pixel and events to correspond with FB CA options
That part can be challenging! -Jen
agreed - check out Social Media Examiner's library of RUclips videos for help on this one! :)
Hi all, does GDPR affect the upload of customers data?

thanks for the info? How do you set up an ad for a new start up business without a website?

@@SocialMediaExaminer what if you are selling lessons, as in you are a teacher? I don't have a website like Diana either.
