Course Description
Run Facebook ads that actually work! Cold traffic ads (that most people run) are not effective because most people who don't know about your business won't buy after seeing your initial ads.
In this course, you will learn how to set up custom audiences based on people who have used your site before and have bought from you. Based on that, you will be able to create lookalike audiences and retarget website visitors, which are more effective Facebook ads strategies.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO RUN FACEBOOK ADS?
If you've launched a product or service, it might be tempting to run Facebook ads. And everywhere you look around the web, people tell you to run Facebook ads. But there are a few things you must do before you run Facebook ads. If you are selling something, and you take leads to your site, make sure the site sells well and has a high sales conversion rate. If it doesn't, you will lose many leads and your Facebook ads may not be profitable.
FACEBOOK ADS VS. GOOGLE SEARCH ADS
Google knows what people want right now because they are searching for it. Facebook does not know that. So your Facebook ads must grab people's attention and make them want what you are promoting. This can be done with videos, interesting copyrighting, or vivid images.
In the Facebook Business Manager, you will be able to set up different campaigns and ad groups to manage different ads so you can experiment with creating Facebook ads that attract your potential clients.
WILL PEOPLE BUY AFTER THEY SEE MY FACEBOOK ADS?
People don't usually engage with a brand after the first time they see it. You must re-engage potential clients and have your Facebook ad show up for them many times. You should run a special kind of Facebook ads called retargeting ads which are only shown to people who have already visited your website which means they are aware of your brand and have shown some level of interest.
CREATE AND TARGET CUSTOM AUDIENCES WHO BUY
In the Facebook Business Manager, you can create Facebook ads that target custom audiences which are the types of people who you know would buy from you because similar people have already bought from you. I'll be showing you how to set that up.
FACEBOOK PIXEL AND FACEBOOK RETARGETING ADS
You will learn to use the Facebook Business Manager to set up your Facebook Pixel which is necessary to run Facebook retargeting ads. Facebook retargeting ads are effective and profitable because they only target warm leads who have already engaged with your business. The way to create Facebook retargeting ads is to first set up the Facebook Pixel. Many people get confused by the Facebook Pixel so in this course, I'll walk you click by click how to first create your Facebook Pixel and then run Facebook retargeting ads.

My business suite doesn't look the same as the one used in the video - this means it takes me a little longer to try & find my way around. Not sure if this is b'cos FB has updated the suite since the course was made.
By Susanne Cardwell on 7/7/2021
i love his teaching style! He always has gems to take away from any course he creates. In just one video, he gave great insight in how to optimize success with using multiple ad sets. Spoiler alert: it's to target one interest per ad set. All of his lectures are filled with insights that you won't get anywhere else. He's original. Excellent instruction and thanks very much!

Great introduction and step-by-step guide to running Facebook ads. If you are like me, and all of this is outside of your wheelhouse, this course will help you become familiar and make it less intimidating!
By Robert Bronev on 9/2/2020
Super insightful information that I can apply right away! Facebook for business is an integral digital strategy to use for generating leads and bringing customers to a business. Can’t wait to get started with the knowledge attained!
By Jacek Pająk on 8/9/2020
A very good course. I often need to engage with my audience on Facebook on a consistent basis and this course has some very good information in order to achieve that.
By Victor on 6/27/2020
It's been categorized incorrectly by Udemy as being Intermediate or Advance. Was looking for deeper insights into using eCommerce functionalities and strategies to maximize Ad spend. I would position this as a good course for anyone that is new to Facebook Marketing and is doing everything on their own without help.
By Dylann on 6/16/2020
I felt confused. He assumes a lot. Like he talked about the Facebook pixel and then said “ we’ll learn about this later on”, but that’s not how it works when you’re writing notes. Learning from him as the course went on made my notes look sporadic.So I went online, read what a Facebook Pixel is, and THEN I was able to understand his info. He does indeed teach you later, but man, don’t do that, don’t bring something up and then say I’ll teach you later. Teach it before you speak about it so a student can follow! And when he’s teaching about the difference between an Ad Campaign, Ad Set, and Ad, he was all over the place, so I AGAIN had to go online and find a direct and simple way of understanding, which I got the basic idea eventually, but later on in the videos, he explains again and just straight up confused me. My biggest gripe was when he’s giving you an example, instead of showing you the steps for something, he’ll say he’s not going to do it because he already did it, so he just assumes you’ll figure it out......this is my first negative review. Wasting money in these times is not essential, and I feel like I wasted my money here. I learn more on reddit by asking people in the digital marketing subreddit then here. He’s all over the place. But the beginning where he teaches you about how to create an FB business account is why I’m giving some stars and in the end the guy is likable just needs structure when it comes to teaching. Advice to him: Teach step by step, teach what every little detail is for, even if you don’t use it for an example, teach why you’re not using using something, and why you are. Don’t be afraid of making a long video. Don’t assume the student knows something. Don’t start a video without teaching how you got there. Picture a students notes, does what you say make sense on their paper?

I already have some experience with Facebook marketing, but the teacher of this course teaches how to get better results from Facebook advertising. Furthermore, the teacher always puts his expertise into practice. Therefore, you can be sure that you are on the right course to learn about this type of advertising. Thanks, Mr. Genadinik for creating such a great course.

This course is very interesting and easy to understand, I have many questions about working with adds in FB and at the time it is hard and confusing, but with this lessons much stuff became easier and make sence.
By Kristie Snively on 8/25/2019
All about using Facebook ads, business manager and your business page to grow your business. This course has a lot of good information inside. I will keep track of this course for referencing later, as well. Thanks!
