Facebook Ad Burnout
• Over time, the same ad will be less interesting to an audience
• CTR decreases and CPC increases
How To Fight “Ad Burnout”
Change up the image
Rewrite the copy
Create a promotion or something newsy to tell them about
Pause the ad for a few weeks and then run it again
Not Granular Enough: $4.15 per fan
Comments: This is one of my first Facebook ad campaigns ever, and a great example of how not to do it. Notice how different the targets are from one another and how the ad copy doesn’t mention them at all. This ad makes the mistake of assuming you care about what I’m promoting, and has no call to action at all, thus the low CTR and high CPC.
3,599 fans for $76.09 … 2 cents per fan
Comments: Slightly more than 2 cents per fan. Check out the clever use of “loooove” to grab attention and emphasize the passion. Keep in mind, though, this ad may be a violation of trademark, so watch out for that and don’t use other people’s trademarks or you’ll be at legal risk and Facebook can even shut your account down.
1,118 fans for $36.13… 3 cents per fan
Comments: A little over 3 cents per fan. Part of the key to high CTR is the right image. With horses, it’s not easy to get the whole horse into a 110x80 image and still see much. For viewers to connect emotionally with the image, they have to be able to see it, so only the head is shown here, and this is a nice, friendly looking horse.
753 fans for $12.23 … 1.6 cents per fan
Comments: Another ad questionable in terms of using someone else’s likeness. The two advertising guidelines that apply are: • 4b. Ads must clearly represent the company, product, or brand that is being
advertised. • 5a. Ads must not be false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive. • 12a. Ads cannot include any content that infringes upon the rights of any third
party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other personal or proprietary right.
30 cents per fan
Comments: Here’s an ad that doesn’t violate the guidelines but manages to get 30 cent fans. For an odd target like this, that’s actually pretty good.
25 cents per fan
More ads from Corey McNeil
Comments: Corey is an expert SEO and a FanReach student who has studied the heck out of our material, and we talk about his results in a lot of our videos and courses. He only shows CPC here but you can estimate cost per fan from the action:click ratio here… respectively 6 cents, 20 cents, 75 cents and 90 cents. See how the cheapest cost per fan is the simplest ad? NO BRAINER marketing, buddy!
458 Fans for $24.34 = 4.5 Cents Per Fan
Mark’s business works great on Facebook and poorly with AdWords. This is because his product is a hybrid of two or three interests… people who love baseball or softball and the people who want to give roses to them. Baseball plus romance. AdWords is built to harvest people with specific popular interests- only a fraction of those who like those sports ALSO want to give roses. Only a fraction of those who want to give roses like those sports. That leads to a bad CTR and low quality score in AdWords and a high CPC. But in Facebook, Mark can cheaply gather people who like all of those things and then market to them repeatedly on the fan page, and it works - he gets a 473% ROI on his fan acqusition ad spend.
B2B Facebook Fan Acquisition If you slicing and dicing doesn’t get you cheap fans, go extremely general. Less competition there.
B2B Facebook Fan Acquisition
You still need to think about your B2B people and what their goals and dreams are. Pump these up in the image and ad copy to increase CTR.

Ask for More Likes and Comments
Ha Ha… Duh!
Post Formulas
"Click Like if…" and keep the second part simple, make sure it’s something most of your fans will like.
Post Formulas
To get Comments, ask a question or say, "Tell me in the Comments below…" followed by whatever you want to know
Posts Based on Demos/Interests
Ponies (photo of pony): "Click Like if you love ponies! What's your favorite thing about them?"
B2B Question
"What’s your biggest goal this year in internet
marketing? Comment below!”
How To Have It All
“CLICK LIKE if you think the Heat can SWEEP Dallas or COMMENT as to why the Mavericks will make this a series.”
- Sportscenter
The formula is:
“Click Like if you think [one thing] or Comment as to why you think [the opposite]”

Attendee Testimonial
“The Facebook Intensive Program was exactly what I was looking for in a
professional online course I could apply to my work. The program
presented experts who could deliver the full scope of information
clearly, a well-planned schedule that moved at a good pace, flexibility
and access to great materials/resources and ample time after the
program to review and refer back to videos, workshops and resources.
