5 Costly Social Media Ad Mistakes For Affiliate business

...and How to Fix Them So You Can Scale Your MLM Business

Mistake #1: Not Understanding and Mastering the Basics

The best thing you can do is return to the basics.

Why?

Because when you master the fundamentals, the results will follow.
The basics of Facebook Ads are understanding the different levels of Ads Manager

You build a Facebook Ad Campaign in Ads Manager in 3 Levels:

Campaign Level:

This is your highest level, you can have multiple Ad Sets per Campaign, and each Ad Set can have multiple Ads!

Ad Set:

This is where the magic happens, you can create detailed targeting here to only show your ad to the people most likely to buy your product or service!

Ad:

This is what the customer sees, this is where you write your ad copy and
choose your images or videos to show new potential customers!

Pro-Tip: Name Your Campaign, Ad Sets, and Ads so everything is organized and easier to manage.

Don’t be lazy here because you will get confused when you start having hundreds of different ads!

In Summary:



Campaigns- you pick Objectives and Ad Type
Ad Sets - you pick Targeting (IMPORTANT STUFF)
Ad- is what your Customers see on Facebook!

Name your campaign something specific, Name of the campaign, date, strategy or experiment, etc

CAMPAIGN NAME | DATE | STRATEGY

Example:
Red Surfer Sunglasses Traffic Campaign | July 2023 | Get visitors to view the
product page to retarget later
Similar to campaigns, you want to be specific with naming your Ad sets, this
takes a bit of practice but tries to get a convention you stick to, it will save you a ton of time, I generally use the following schema.

“PRODUCT NAME | LOCATION | TARGETING TYPE | GENDER & AGE | PLACEMENT”

Example:
“Red Surfer Sunglasses | USA | Surfing Magazine 200k+ | Men 21-35 | Mobile +
Desktop + Instagram
”

Name Your Ads with the image or video creative you are using first, then the
different versions of the text you are going to use for the headline and description.
This is highly recommended especially if you are going to be A/B testing a lot.
“IMAGE OR VIDEO NAME | VERSION OF COPY/TEXT”

Example:
“Cool Guy Wearing Red Sunnys | Version 2”

Mistake #2: Using The Wrong Campaign Type

There are a ton of different advertising types but don’t get overwhelmed, there are 4 main types of ads I use, and 99.9% of Facebook ad users can completely ignore all other ad categories.

Post Engagement:

This advertising type is essential to build what is called social proof - meaning your ad has likes, comments and shares.

I like to show my ad to people who’ve enjoyed my page, as they are more likely to like and comment on my ads.

Traffic:

This is the MOST IMPORTANT method of advertising, it literally can drive TRAFFIC anywhere if you want to bring customers to your MLM website.

Think of traffic campaigns as step two of your ad lifecycle (step one being
post-engagement to build social proof).

Video Views:

Using Facebook video ads not only helps you connect with your audience on the channel they prefer, but you make that connection using the type of media they already like to consume.
A targeted video ad is the best opportunity you have to get your content to people at the right place at the right time.

You’d be crazy to leave video out of your advertising strategy!

Conversion:

Think of conversion campaigns as campaigns you run once you know something about your customer.

When you use your Facebook pixel you can set what is called event codes which
signal that certain people took certain actions, for example:
If you set an event code to tell your pixel any time someone added a product to the cart or made a
purchase, then you could later use this data to create conversion campaign
optimizing for only targeting people who are most likely to also add to cart or
purchase (again based on Facebook’s insane amount of data!).

By combining these tactics in different ways, you can build a strategy that’s right
for your specific company your audience, and their unique needs.

Mistake #3: Not Defining Your Audience Properly

This is where profitable advertisers set themselves apart.

Remember Facebook advertising is as much of an art as it is a science.

When you are setting up your ad sets, there is a section where you can choose
any custom or lookalike audiences you’ve created, or create an audience from
scratch based on interests.

Interests would include fact and algorithm-based actions that users have taken on
Facebook.

For example, target people who read Surfing Magazine or Hurley surf &
swimwear, or the legendary surfer Kelly Slater if you are selling surfing
sunglasses.
Interests, sometimes called narrowers can be confusing but think of them as ways
of targeting people who are likely to be INTERESTED in your product based on
other things they’re interested in.
Chances are people will be interested in buying your surfing sunglasses if they
are interested in Surfing Magazine or Hurley or Kelly Slater.

An invaluable tool for finding related pages people are interested in which is vital

for targeting is a tool Facebook created called audience insights.

The audience insights tab tool is an invaluable key for finding great targeting options. This tool is available in the menu of your ad manager.

Once you’re in the audience insights tool, just select the country and any other
demographics you have for your audience.

Then put in interest - for example, 'sunglasses'.
The real trick is then to go to the pages tab, and make a list of all the pages that people with this interest follow.
It’s then worth testing each of these pages, in different ad sets, or bundling some
of them together if they are under 250k in size and are related to the topic.

This has led to some of our best-performing ads for new audiences.
But do you want to know how to target the right buyers to grow your MLM
business?

Mistake #4: Not Installing The Facebook Pixel On Your Funnel

If I ask you, what you think is the most important thing when doing Facebook ads, what will your answer be?

Ad copy? Audiences? Creative?
Nope, none of these things.
The most important thing when doing Facebook Ads is without a doubt the
Facebook Pixel.

First of all, if you don't know what the Facebook pixel is, it's a piece of code that
you insert into the HTML of your MLM website or store and it interacts
with Facebook.
It tracks all the actions people take in your store (it tracks each ad, so you know
which ad brought what results).

But that's not the main reason we want our Facebook pixel installed on our
website, there's a much more powerful reason.

The Facebook pixel learns about the people that converted and stores their data. We can later on use that data to create ads (website conversion ads) that are
optimized for the certain action we decide on like a View Product, Purchase, Add
to cart, etc. depending on your objective.

In other words, Facebook learns what kind of people convert to your website and uses that data to show your ad to other people that are more likely to convert.

The reason is that people who convert to your offer (for example make a
purchase) have similar interests and behaviors, so using that data Facebook
shows your ads to other people that are similar to your past converters.
The more conversions you get, the more accurate and powerful your ads will be. Pretty cool right?
So if you don't have the pixel installed on your website, do it ASAP.
The more time you are advertising on Facebook without having the Facebook
pixel installed, the more data you are losing!

I can help you understand how to use the pixel best for your MLM brand during
your FREE Ad Scaling Session.

Mistake #5: Not Running Retargeting Campaigns

The final step of Facebook advertising is utilizing the magic of retargeting.
Up until this point you’ve built tens or even hundreds of ads (the more the better)
split testing on age, location, and interests, pausing poorly performing ads, and
scaling the spend of your ads performing well!
The next step is to build your retargeting campaigns and optimize your current
campaigns.

This is the most advanced and important aspect of Facebook marketing. Conversion Campaigns:
Conversion Campaigns show their power here - because as you collect more and
more pixel data, you start to amass more and more data points to retarget your
customer base with, and form lookalike audiences based on a ton of different
types of custom audience combinations.

For example video view percentage, people who like your Facebook fan page,
people who purchase your product or service, all website visitors and SO much
more!

Generally, conversion campaigns start more expensive per click than traffic
campaigns, but as your pixel information grows

Facebook’s algorithm gets better at matching more and more data points to find other people who are more and more
similar to people who HAVE taken action or caused a specific pixel action to fire
such as adding to a cart etc…

Just remember: retargeting efforts need to be specific and hyper-focused if you
want to drive conversions on your MLM funnel
