Ad targeting has gotten scary good. Sometimes I see ads on Facebook about things I never searched for but merely thought about. Never talked to anyone about. Literally just thought of it. The algo knows me better than I know myself. Or maybe it can read my brainwaves. 🧐😬
Just want to say that the promo is so lame and boring that I always skip it. EVERY SINGLE TIME! Please, advice the sponsor to change the promo video instead of wasting the money on an ad that doesn't work AT ALL.
@AuthorityHacker Hi guys, before publishing your podcast, you should check the sound quality (I am talking about the Podcast and not the YT video). it is terrible: we almost don't understand Gael.
Yeah our bad. Gael's recording messed up. We "fixed it in post" for the video version, but the audio version was posted without these fixes. We'll be fixing this asap. Sorry!
@@MarkWebster1 No problem. 👍 You have a loyal audience with the podcast. It's important to keep the audio quality up to par. I just wanted you to be aware of what's going on.
Great video, Guys. I dont know how to retarget and also how to track visitors that came from facebook. Would you create a tutorial on that? Or a module on TASS?
Great episode guys! Do you recommend preselling as a method to gauge interest before building out the entire info product? How would you approach that?

Facebook ads have really paid off for us. We have a very specific audience and a decent following on social. Replicating our audience as lookalikes pays off in spades!
Will you guys launch a course that is about all this stuff? I guess you already cover some parts of it in AH Pro, but I imagine you could systematize it like you did with TASS and make it more approachable to someone new to it.
Hi, i'm interested in your Authority Site System course and want to know if it is the best time for me to get it knowing what is happening know. Do you have a facebook traffic course?
One of the best videos in ages chaps (and they're all good!) - I'd love to see you develop these themes further. Are you planning to add a module on Facebook Ads inside AHPro in the coming months?
@@AuthorityHacker what will be the future of TASS? Do you add other ways to make affiliate income other than SEO or turn it into selling digital products using FB ADS?
Ha! I'm coding my own products and started running Meta ads a month ago, so this comes in handy! Would love some tips on creating a high-converting landing page for software since that's where I'm struggling the most and they are generally completely different from course landing pages. I watch all your episodes, but this one has been the most useful so far. Cheers!
Traffic and customer acquisition have been more or less static for so long. I Appreciate Gary V's day-trading attention book and your non-emotionally attached reaction time to external events. Shift the demand, shift the attention, and shift the strategy.
Would love love love more on digital products and sales pages. Maybe one of your epic current example videos? I know that's a lot of work, but we appreciate them. :-)
One of your best. More real life examples of simple info products killing it with ads would be good. Also, Gael's audio was real bad on the podcast version. Not sure if you knew..
Great episode, guys. Would love to see a detailed AH PRO module all about how to crush this in 2024. Is that planned? Also, without revealing your actual offers, can you give us a few examples of offers that you know for a fact are working very well and are likely to keeping working well? The examples in the vid/pod were a little mainstream 😅
Hey Keith thanks for the comment. We are gaging the interest with this podcast then we will see if we create more content on this. Honestly the best way to see offers is put a lot of companies in the Facebook ads manager and looking at what they run. Every time you see an interesting as just click it, check the ad manager, analyze the landing page. It’s all public and free to check.
Wondering what you guys think of using Alibaba to source products that already have a proven track record through your amazon affiliate sales? Basically sourcing a product with very similar specs to the top affiliate products and then using FB ads for that?
Why is the sound so much better on your video compared to your podcast in this episode? I couldn’t understand Gale half the time because of the bad quality. 😅 Just a heads up for future episodes
Yeah our bad. Gael's recording messed up. We "fixed it in post" for the video version, but the audio version was posted without these fixes. We'll be fixing this asap. Sorry!
Most of the techniques you mentiond apply perfectly to info products; How about a simple Shopify dropshipping store that has a physical product. Take the same steak example, a BBQ tool for instance. How should the ad creative, landing page, etc be, and how is it different from the course/info product example you guys gave. Thanks a bunch.
You could but it’s hard to make drop shipping profitable unless you have high margins. Usually you need to own the offer to make it worth it as you are competing against companies who own the products and therefore can often afford to pay more for customers.
It really depends what you are selling. They are quite different as FB ads can interrupt someone browsing, whereas (cold) google ads are largely targeted around search intent. Testing is key for both
For someone with no audience, what do you recommend me, to directly try to sell my info product uaing a sales page or to get their email first, start providing some value in the first week, then trying to sell them after the first week ? BTW, my info product idea price is around 50 usd or below.
@@AuthorityHackerI realize I may not have explained myself clearly. Here’s my question: Should I try to sell my info product right away, without asking for any email addresses? Or should I focus on getting their email first, and then sell to them after I’ve provided some value through an email series? thank you for your reply
Yes. Send ads traffic directly to sales page and retarget the people who click through or engage with video ads. The opt in is the buy. Just make it an impulse buy. Your list will be smaller but all buyers which is much better
The problem with ads will be when the prices increase as these companies want more profits. The problem for us is how to create products that people want to buy. That is the most difficult part.
Ads are a bidding system so prices increase with demand and the market regulates itself. You could also argue all prices increase with time. Content, software etc.
@@AuthorityHacker Sure, but ads are also controlled by a few companies Google, Meta. So it's the same problem of price increases based on their whims rather than the market. But I get that having your own products is "less risk" than relying only on ad and affiliate income.
Ad targeting has gotten scary good. Sometimes I see ads on Facebook about things I never searched for but merely thought about. Never talked to anyone about. Literally just thought of it. The algo knows me better than I know myself. Or maybe it can read my brainwaves. 🧐😬
Yep. It makes it very easy to get sales as an advertiser tbh.
It's as if we are already in a computer simulation of some sort
if you guys made a short, affordable course on this I would buy it for sure

We have lots more content on this stuff planned for this year.
@@MarkWebster1 can this be used for affiliate marketing instead of our own product?
You could try if you can setup tracking pixels etc. But tbh it’s much more difficult to be profitable when you only get a fraction of the sales price.
@@AuthorityHacker thank you!

Yes, I was trying to listen to it on Spotify earlier in the car and had to give up and wait til I got home and could switch to RUclips.

So seo is Dead for beginners
Great video guys

that is the end of SEO - let's rob a bank and spend it all on ads ;)
Excellent video.. also, ferry's videos are wild lol
Yes they are
best episode ever
Thanks!
How do the Facebook ads compare to Google ads ROAS?
For us it’s much easier to be profitable on Facebook than Google
It really depends what you are selling. They are quite different as FB ads can interrupt someone browsing, whereas (cold) google ads are largely targeted around search intent. Testing is key for both
For someone with no audience, what do you recommend me, to directly try to sell my info product uaing a sales page or to get their email first, start providing some value in the first week, then trying to sell them after the first week ? BTW, my info product idea price is around 50 usd or below.
Start with the offer and regress back to the content. It’s so much easier to create content when you know where you are trying to take people.
@@AuthorityHackerI realize I may not have explained myself clearly.
Here’s my question: Should I try to sell my info product right away, without asking for any email addresses? Or should I focus on getting their email first, and then sell to them after I’ve provided some value through an email series?

We have a lot of cool content planned this year around solving that product creation problem.
@@AuthorityHacker Sure, but ads are also controlled by a few companies Google, Meta. So it's the same problem of price increases based on their whims rather than the market.
But I get that having your own products is "less risk" than relying only on ad and affiliate income.

What price range works best for the products/courses you sell through Facebook ads?
Usually $20-200 is a good range.
AAAAaaaAAaaaaH I am SECONDDDD

We still ❤️ you
