Keith Krance and Ralph Burns on Facebook Advertising
Mark: Hi guys, this is Mark Mcrae and I can see some of our regulars here. Hi David, hi Jeff, hi John,
Michael, Rich... Today we have Bond and Kevin Halbert who are with us and our guest today
are Keith Krance and Ralph Burns. Just a little bit of history of how I met Heath and Ralph
is that over the years I have hired and worked with a lot of people on Facebook to help me
with my Facebook marketing and I never really got any good results. I've always had a lazy
eye looking for somebody, a company, or anyone who could really help lift my Facebook
marketing. Keith and Ralph kept popping up. I saw the cutting edge in Facebook marketing
right now I think. A lot of people seem to agree with me. I'm going to introduce Keith and
Ralph right now but another thing that I just want to mention, their website is Dominate
Web Media. They also have a book on Amazon. The Amazon book is on my screen just now.
It’s The Ultimate Guide to Facebook Advertising. Welcome Keith and Ralph.
Ralph: It's good to be here.
Keith: Thanks for having us.
Mark: Our format today will be Keith and Ralph will share some of the information that they know
about Facebook and then we will have myself, Bond, and Kevin ask a few questions. And
then any questions that they have from the audience. Feel free to write in the chat and we
can ask Keith Ralph at the end of it. One thing I want you both is how did you get started
and how did you joined up?
Keith: How did we get started in the world of Facebook advertising and how it kind of dried up?
Mark: Yeah.
Keith: Good question. Long story short, I actually went to college to become an airline pilot. I kind
of did that whole route and ended driving and flying for Horizon Air or Alaska Air for about
6 years. So I've done about 4,000 hours. Through that process my entrepreneurial spirit
started kicking in and I ended up getting into some real estate back in the early 2000's and
leveraging some of that stuff into local business. I ended up owning a part of two different
franchises between the period of a couple of years, four to six different locations. In about
2008, 2009 I started digging in to this whole online marketing world. I really started going
to the local GKIC Dan Kennedy out here in Glazer-Kennedy Insider Circle. So I started
learning direct response marketing, right? Then I just started falling in love with this
internet world.
Long story short from there as I was learning direct response marketing I've seen a couple
of Facebook ads and I'm like, "What a second here." There's a few times where we spent
$10,000 a month on a billboard on a not so busy road. It was really not very good tracking
place or anything, we're doing direct mail and buy back. We cannot grade direct mail back

then but you know the typical co-op, local TV and radio stuff. Then all of a sudden... We put
up the billboard but instead of paying that $10,000 we actually put it up for free and pay
every time a car would pull over that's in our exact ideal audience, it's like a digital
billboard, it was all display like our exact ideal car. And then who would pay for that until
they pulled over and call the number on the billboard or with the website. That's kind of
when I went, "Wow, this is crazy." I kind of went all-in in Facebook.
Basically a few years later I connected with Perry Marshall through a client that we were
working with. And then started doing stuff with Perry Marshall and he asked me to write
the book with him. So we ended up doing about three programs together for his audience
and co-authored the book. The next thing you know Ralph came to one of my programs.
Ralph, you can probably tell how we [Unintelligible 00:04:37], it's kind of organically. It's
been a pretty cool relationship how it's gone down, really.
Ralph: I got into Facebook advertising because I was fired from my job so I had to... I came from
the corporate world and Fortune 500 companies. But I started my own blogging. After
reading the 4-Hour Workweek. They found about that and they figured out a way to get me
out of there and I was a director of sales at that point in time. They downsized me out of the
job. But I did know how to do pay-per-click advertising on Google. And then I migrated into
Facebook as an affiliate and that's why you can basically target age, gender, and where they
live. After about the fourth or fifth time my wife walking in on me doing Christian mingle
ads on Facebook I decided I should probably diversify a little bit. So I went to a lot of other
different types of media.
I went away from Facebook for a while but then when I started doing huge media buys as
an affiliate in the pay-per-click arena and then Facebook changed their whole advertising
platform about 2 years ago and I think that's when I met Keith. When Facebook finally
partnered up with Big Data which makes it really the most powerful advertising platform
in the world in our opinion. That's why we focus so much on it. We met at a conference and
hit it off. And then we started working together on an initial basis and now we're full-blown
partners and dominate web media. It's a pretty good ride, that's for sure.
Mark: Just so everybody knows, I'll tell you how cutting edge these guys are. I'm actually a client
of Keith as well. We were on a conversation one day. Someone called in, and I can't
remember whether it was Keith or Ralph who says, we just got this in right now that
Facebook has just changed within the last 30 minutes how they're approaching something.
That's how on the edge these guys are. I know there's something to do with navigation
process and things like that that you just come up. And no one else I've ever spoken to was
that close to what was happening. What we're about to hear now is probably as good as
you're going to get right now. I'll leave it with you guys. I know just quite certain
[Unintelligible 00:07:06] about to share with us.
Keith: Here's a few things. First of all, those you guys in this program, give yourself a hand because
I remember my big bit game changing point was a program like this that I bought into. I
remember they had a 5-pay option and I had to do the 5-pay option. I didn't even know if
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 4
I'd be able to make the second month. Because of that program that I did with Perry I ended
up meeting people and encourage people to connect with the group and everything like that
as much as possible. Because just one connection ended up leading to a client, that ended
up telling another client who knew somebody else, and then ended up... We had to do a good
job to get to that point but it was awesome.
Since then we've definitely been in the Facebook ad stuff since the beginning. I just figured
it out, we used to say we've done I think 3 or 4 million Facebook ad spend but now... I'll
show a little screenshot here. We're doing about 30,000 to 45,000 a week on ad spend
between our different clients. Sometimes being able to stay on the cutting edge really helps
because we've got an account manager that helps with some of our stuff. And we're able to
get on the inner circle and some of the changes that's happening with Facebook. We're in
there with lots of different industries so we don't just do this for our business, we manage
client campaigns and tons of different industries. We have coaching clients like Mark where
we're really vested and deep into what you guys are doing.
We've been doing this for quite a while, since the beginning. Facebook video ads right now
is one of the hottest topics there is right now and I've been doing Facebook video ads since
4 years ago. A lot of the stuff that we've been talking about for a couple of years that we're
going to show you now is really becoming main stream and it's important to. What we're
going to talk about today is really kind of went on Facebook now as oppose to 12 months
ago. There's a big change that's happening and Mark knows exactly what I'm talking about.
We're trying to figure out landing page stuff and stuff like that because Facebook has... It
sucks in a lot of ways because they've crack down and they're in the position of shutting
down accounts for people, don't know why. They're banning a lot of ads and app. Clicks are
getting more expensive. There's all that happening yet at the same time more and more
people... The statistics as far as the end user hanging out on Facebook continue to rise. It's
crazy. I think 14 times a day is the average now on Facebook. People are there. You just
have to figure out how to reach them the right way. And also think about the whole process
and that's what we're going to talk about today which really takes some time to engineer
that process. And one of the things that we're best us is really engineering the process of
figuring out how to put your message in front of that end user and realizing that Facebook
is just the online version of the part of your coffee shop. You got to figure out how to sell to
somebody without being a duchy salesperson. We're going to show you how to do that.
How's that sound?
Mark: It sounds great.
Keith: Cool. If you want you can give me the screen. I'll go for a couple of slides here and then I
could walk you guys through a little bit of our new funnel now that we're super excited
about. Now, what I'm going to do here is... Feel free to jump in if you've got any questions.
If you feel like there's an urgent question or if Ralph and I are saying something that's just
over the audience's head. Feel free to hop in. What we're going to walk you through today
is how to build good will and generate quality leads and sales using Facebook. We're also
going to walk you through... A couple of weeks ago Ralph and I got invited by our Facebook
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar

account manager to be on a private, agency-only webinar. It was about Facebook video ads,
and it was also just about some trends that are happening right now in general with
Facebook and Mobile. It was awesome, we had to give them our business manager ID and
stuff. It was a pretty cool webinar.
Some of the statistics were kind of crazy where growth and TV consumption is down 2%,
which makes sense. Digital is up 267%. TV still has a lot higher consumption than digital
right now but the growth, you'll see there's a huge difference. The main reason why is
people are consuming digital throughout the entire day. They're no longer just watching
TV, 75% of people now access their second screen, their phone or their tablet, during a TV
show because, "I like to multi-task while watching TV so I can still be productive. And we
all know how productive that is, right? People are on there and 800 million users are
logging on to Facebook every single day, an average of 14 times a day. That's big, that's a
huge number. It used to be 100 million total users a year and a half ago, now we're up like
a billion people, 800 million, 14 times a day. This is very interesting here. This is where the
trend is, and you want to really be able to capitalize on this mobile. First of all, this is a
statistic of video and mobile, video viewing is shifting to mobile and it's building... I love
video ads. We're not going to make this webinar about... but side here it says, "Purchase
intent of US internet users who watch smart phones 64% down to [Unintelligible 00:13:29]
just 52%.” The point there is that you got to figure out if there are people on mobile. We see
these with all of our ads, not just video, all of our lead gen ads, ads and they're re-targeting
people back to the order form in some cases. Which campaigns are winning in most cases?
Ralph: All the inventory is on mobile right now. It's cheaper first off, it's more abundant and we
see it as... As long as you have a mobile enabled landing page and a mobile enabled website
it's much more responsive overall. There's definitely times when you want to use a PC and
also tables is thrown into the PC side of things depending on what you're targeting is like
inside Facebook. But mobile is where it's at right now.
Keith: But you want to be on both. Facebook and Instagram account for 23% of the total time spent
on mobile just in general, calling somebody, doing whatever, texting, 23% of the people are
on Facebook and Instagram. It's more than Twitter, Snapchat, and all the other social
networks and stuff like that that are app-based combined. They're on there. This is actually
a screenshot of inside of our business manager. You'll see here just a weekly span, May 10-
16, 20 ad accounts, 44,000. We're anywhere between typically 30, 45, 50 per week. We're
averaging about 100,000 to 280,000 depending on the month, in ad spend. But like I said,
that's between [Unintelligible 00:15:15] clients and some coaching clients, and in several
different industries, and there's been in several different industries for a long time, really
since about 2009, so doing Facebook ads.
Nobody likes that guy. Have you ever met that guy at the party or a conference where you
shake his hands and 30 seconds later he's trying to either set-up an appointment with you,
or pitch you his financial planning services. What do you want to do with that guy? You
want him to turn around and kick his butt out the front door, right, or worst. Nobody likes
that guy, right? The thing is Facebook is the party. Facebook is not Google. Facebook is not

the Yellow pages. Google will replace the Yellow pages. Facebook, people are hanging out,
yes, the targeting is amazing especially with, like Ralph had mentioned partner categories
where we can now target people based on income, we can target people based on job title,
we can target people based on the car they drive, we can target people based on the fan
pages they like. Or we can target people based on web browsing history, the types of
website that they're browsing on the internet because every single website out there that
has a Facebook like button, share button, Facebook is collecting that data. We can target
people amazingly on Facebook, but the problem is most of those people aren't lying in bed
at night thinking about your product or service, or even coming up with a solution. Solving
that problem that your product or service sells. We have to figure out, and we're going to
walk you through today is how to do that.
Just imagine if you're at the same party and instead of 30 seconds after shaking your hand
he tries to pitch you his financial planning. Instead he shakes your hand and he asks you
about do you have any kids? I said, "Yeah, I've got two kids." He said, "You're planning on
going to college?" "Yeah, hopefully." "Go check out this website. There's a great tip where
there's kind of a loophole that most people don't realize that you actually, literally pay for
half their college tuition without having to invest too much money. It's pretty cool tip. Check
it out. By the way, do your kids play any sports?" You see what happened there? He gave a
little tip. He created some goodwill, then changed the subject, and they became friends.
Just imagine that you leave that party. Instead of leaving that party and complaining to your
wife or husband about this dude that you met that's trying to pitch you 30 seconds later.
You're telling your wife or husband about this dude that you met that gave you this great
tip, right? You go home and you go to sleep. You wake up the next morning, you breakfast,
you get in the car, and you're off to work. You drive by a billboard and you see a picture of
that same guy on a billboard with a call to action that says something like, "Visit my website
or call this number to get a free financial evaluation to see if you can afford to pay for
college" or something like that. Do you think you'd have a high likelihood of going to that
website, calling the number, or even following through and taking action with that ad? Of
course you would, right? Because the day before he provided value you're like, "Oh yeah,
that's that guy." And then if you do show up there it's going to be a lot different than you
calling the number with a very skeptical with your guard up. You're going to be a lot more
open. Open arms, that's the difference. That's what you want to try to do on Facebook. Not
only do you want to do that on Facebook because it works, it's what Facebook wants you to
do. It's how you're going to keep your cats safe and it's how you're going to get cheaper opt-
ins and more customers.
A year ago you can get away with being that guy, that's the thing. You can drive a basic ad
on Facebook directly to a squeeze page and get a 45% opt-in rate, no big deal, right? Get $2
leads, but you can't do that anymore. Even if you do get that ad approved, your cost per
click and cost per lead are going to be probably 3, 4, 5 times more than they were a year
ago, if not more. I know we've got a client, they're having a hard time changing their funnel
because it's just slow moving. Their lead cost are triple to four times they were a year and

a half ago. But we've got other clients in similar spaces that are not having that problem
because their nimble and they're doing the stuff that we're going to show your right now.
I'll show you an example right here. Here's an example of the old way. Just because I said
it's the old way it does not mean you cannot drive traffic from Facebook to a landing page.
We do this every single day. You just have to understand the whole process. I'm going to
show you what I mean. We went from $2.81 per website click to 29 cents in the same exact
audience. If you look at this right here, this reporting, this is probably by far the most
expensive audience you can target on Facebook because you're targeting some of these
audiences that are income overlaid, they're older aged, there's lots of different things. If you
look at this ad right here was driving traffic to a webinar, and it was a guy that was targeting
an audience of people who didn't know who he was, was not a guru, kind of is actually in
Australia or is Australia but not in the US. So he's getting a look how expensive those clicks
are, very, very expensive. If you look at the next screen you're going to see a cost per website
click of 29 to 34 cents. These audiences are actually even a little bit more expensive
probably. And you'll see it's the same exact, almost audience and same person. If you look
right here on the next slide. I'll have a screenshot of the other one, but it was just a basic ad
going to a landing page, a webinar. This ad right here, notice how it says blog post right
there? This ad is actually driving traffic to a blog post. There's a few different reasons why
it's getting such cheap clicks. But the main the reason why is it gets a high relevance score.
This is a new thing that Facebook has initiated and it's similar to Google's quality score. It's
a big, big deal that nobody right now is really understanding. I'm telling you right now.
There's not many people teaching what we're going to teach you guys today. It might feel
different or over your head a little bit but I promise you if you pay attention and put some
of this into action it will be game changing for you.
This post right here goes to a blog post where people do not have to opt-in for. If there's
calls to action on the blog post where people will opt-in and that's great. And if they don't
know it doesn't matter because the next day or so they're going to see a lead gen ad going
to a webinar. But the only people that might see that ad that's going to the webinar are
people that already visited this post. I'm going to show you guys a better example here in a
second. The point is that what can happen now is if you can use this, we call it good will
content to warm people up. You can take a click cost for almost $3 down to 30 cents. That's
10 times less. And when you're taking them to that blog post you can track every single
visitor that hits that blog. They can be automatically added to your website custom
audience. You have to think about this website custom audience as a list. It's like an invisible
list that Facebook owns but it's inside your Facebook account because now you can run any
ad to these people, promotional to a sales page, etc. I'm going to show a lot more details
here. This another example.
This is Betty Rocker and she sells recipe guys and fitness products and she is running her
stuff the new way, not the old way. She's got a lot of advice to do some other different things.
She does a lot of great stuff organically with her audience. What she's doing with Facebook
is this is one campaign where she's driving traffic. Yeah, I know. You've got the picture and
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 8
everything, that makes a difference. But we've got examples across aboard that
[Unintelligible 00:24:49] where you have a hot girl like this. The point is this ad right here
is averaging 9 cents per click the website, and it's going to this blog post which is 3,300
words. For those of you copywriters out there, if you want to win on Facebook, you not only
want to be able to write good copy that's compelling to get people to take action on your
ad, get people to take action on a landing page, but you also want to write high value
educational content that is seeding your opt-ins, seeding your sales product all along the
way. You're designing this process. This blog post right here is 3,300 words. Notice it's got
strong calls to action over here on the right side. This is a product right here. Actually this
is an opt-in page. Towards the bottoms there's links that go right to her sales page where
she's getting a 5% conversion rate from visitors from this page.
This right here is just some of the numbers this ad is running right now every day. It's an
evergreen ad because it's so much value if you look back here. You see this, it's got 2,000
likes and it's got 1,200 shares. That's really, really important. I call this the like to share
ratio. You have 2:1 ratio, right? This one is about more than that. It's like 5-3 right? The
point is there's over half of the amount of shares as there are likes. What that means is
people like this content. If this was going to an opt-in page, if you had 2,000 likes here you
might have 200 shares. It would be like 5:1 ration. What that means is this one has a lot of
shares. And also when they hit this page they don't bounce right back to Facebook, those
are the two most important things. If people leave Facebook and they bounce right back
and there's a low share rate, then you're going to have a low relevant score. You're going to
probably have 1 or 2. What that's going to do is your click cost are going to go way up and
you're going to lose impressions. What's happening to people right now that are running
on ads who are just purely lead gen, not doing any of this, and then they eventually get their
account shut down. That's the process.
Does she drive traffic to opt-in pages? Heck yeah she does. And she actually drives more
traffic to sales pages than she does to opt-in pages, because the only people that she driving
traffic to her sales pages are already warmed up. They've already consumed a piece of
content or liked your page. She's running like ads every single day too. This is what I'm
talking about. This right here are checkouts, these are orders, these are not leads. This right
here is a testimonial video ad going to the sales page and I can show that screenshot if you
guys want to. But these ones right here real planning blog post, that is this ad. This ad is
going to a blog post is generating sales every single day. It's generating leads to. What's
happening next is some people will click through to her sales page and then she'll have
video ad running, it's only targeting warmed up body [Unintelligible 00:28:31], their fans
or... They've read a blog post or they've watched a video. I'm going to show you guys this
whole map here in second. But I want to show you that this stuff really does work once you
put it into action. Betty Rocker, her real name is Bree but she takes action, period.
Actually, this right here is a video testimonial ad that is the first one here. This one right
here it says refuses. These people landed on the sales page and didn't buy. And so this is
running right here and this goes right to the sales page. Actually, it goes to the success store,
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 9
it's part of the sales page. Right now she's in the middle of creating a new video that's going
to link from Facebook directly to the order form, and it will convert. I know it will. But it's
only going to be displayed after warmed up people. So as she gets more parts into her...
Mark: How does that work then if it got an ad for people who refused? So they got to the sales
page and decided no. How did they see this then? Was it an [Unintelligible 00:29:42] or
something, how did it work?
Keith: Good question. The way it works...
Mark: Or is re-targeting?
Keith: Yeah, these are all re-targeting ads. And if we have some time in a little bit here I can pull
up the ads manager and basically show you exactly what I mean. But it's going to easier
when I'm showing you this map. It'll make way more sense to you. These right here more
sales coming from that, it costs $10 per checkout to sell a $47 product plus upsells in the
membership site. Not bad at all, right? Spend 10 you get 47. It's because of this right here.
I've been talking about this strategy for 2 years and it's been really difficult to get people to
buy into it because the direct response world which is where I started has a hard time
because sometimes it's hard to directly measure the LLI right off the bat. But the goodwill
created and is now the custom audiences that we can develop, Facebook are so powerful.
And also, it's cross devised. So we can bring mobile traffic visitor to this blog post and we
can re-target them with that video on the desktop, does that makes sense?
Mark: Yeah.
Keith: It's really powerful. Let's go to the next slide here and then I'm going to show you guys. I'm
going to map this out. Hopefully it'll make a lot more sense for you. This right here is a super
basic funnel. I call it Facebook funnel segments. You want to start thinking about this as the
top of this funnel is fans or goodwill content. This is like a blog post, we call this ungated
content. They don't have to opt-in to consume it. This is a fan, we run light getting campaign
so just in the background maybe $10 a day where you're getting new fans every day. There's
a lot of reasons why you do want fans because you can re-target them with ads and then
you can also have more social proof, more friends of fan connection targeting which is the
most powerful part of that. It's hard to explain without really showing it in the Ads Manager.
The point is this is the top of your funnel here, fans, goodwill content, as people move down
the next step would be what, a lead magnet, a webinar, or maybe a coupon, or a demo of a
software. Whenever you're kind of main, front end lead is your next logical step, right? After
they opt-in they might land on a front end sales page, right? This might be a $49 product.
Free plus shipping offer. It could be a 99 product. It could be a webinar in some cases, right?
Then you have the front end order form for that product, and then you have your upsells.
That's a super basic funnel and I want you to think about this as it's kind of lukewarm. It's
just like shaking their hands at that party and having that conversation, right? This is kind
of setting the appointment here to meet with somebody in the real world. This is when you
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 10
send them a proposal here. This is when you send them the actual credit card and autopay
for it. You have higher ticket stuff. That's the main kind of funnel segments.
What I'm going to do now is I'm going to walk you through. I'll go on the white board here
and show you how this works in the Facebook world and how to really design this. If you
guys can't see this great, then what will do is go online and show it to you there.
Ralph: Keith, let me just ad in that you can still drive traffic directly to a landing page for a lead
magnet and capture email addresses, you can certainly do it. We still have clients that do it
and we do it ourselves. But if you really think about this funnel right here and the way that
the real world works is that in the offline world you meet that guy at the party who asks
you to do business with them or set the appointment 3 seconds after you meet them. That's
almost like asking for a name and email address in your first interaction. It's somewhat
unnatural. What Facebook is doing is they're sort of dragging advertisers, kicking and
screaming. A lot of direct response advertisers and a lot of the clients that we have are direct
response. They want leads, they want people that capture that email, put them into a
nurture sequence and then ultimately sell them maybe low end product and then a high
end product, and then something maybe on the back end. Facebook in the algorithm, the
way that it works now is that if you try to drive a tremendous amount of traffic just to a lead
magnet Facebook won't allow you. In most cases, so it's dependent upon your niche and
how competitive it is, and so on and so forth. But if you're talking about it like the coaching
niche and the business niche for example, they will not give you the impressions in order
to get as many leads as you want unless you actually have a step ahead of that. If you really
think about that, like that first step is like that ungated content. It's that tip on the 529 plan
that you meet when the guy gives that to you at the party that you meet. And then maybe
you think about hiring unless you're a financial planner after that.
Facebook is really mirroring the real world and I think they always wanted to do this
whenever they started with the ad platform about 2 years ago, really making it much more
robust. But now advertisers are realizing that they have to adapt to this way of doing it or
they're not going to get the impressions, or they're going to pay more for leads, or they're
going to get into situations where their account is getting into a bad situation, or lots of ads
being rejected which we see all the time. What this ungated content, this step ahead of the
lead magnet does, Ahead of the lead is it actually warms them up so that they end up buying
in the back end more. They're a more qualified candidate for you.
Facebook is dragging everybody to this. We always knew it was there. We advocated doing
it. Now everyone's forced to do it this way. I think we're seeing this, the ad spend that we
have with our clients, and it's just going to become more and more stringent as time goes
on.
Mark: Good point Ralph.
Ralph: Okay cool. Let me know if you can't see it. Basically, what we want to do is... Remember that
funnel that I just showed you. Think about this row right here as that funnel. The top here
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 11
is your cool, interest-based targeting. And then over here are your fans. As you go down this
further and further you've got fans and then you have non-converted website and video
custom audiences. They're not leads but you have to think about it that way because in
Facebook when you have a fan you can always target fans only in your ads, right? And then
non-converted website and video custom audiences, what that is, is anybody that wounds
on a blog post. They now go in that website, custom audience and Facebook. Just copy and
paste. The pixel we have a lot more advanced trainings on how to do this, it's very simply
actually. It's like Facebook Ads University. Basically, you get a thousand people to blog post.
To a blog post which is right here. Then you're going to have a thousand people on that
Facebook website custom audience that you can now re-target to your opt-in page or to
your sales page. So it's really important to understand.
The other thing that Facebook has made so many improvements on lately is video. So if I
run a Facebook video ad now, if I used a video view's objective, we're actually improving it
now. And you can use other objectives. But still I want a video and I want to run a video at
to a webinar. Then I do that and I [Unintelligible 00:38:52] we go and get 100 registrations.
Typically with the video, Facebook is going to cost you anywhere between 1 cent to a 6
cents per view, sometimes up to 10 cents per view but it's like a super small audience that
typically around 1-6 cents per view is where you're going to pay. And now Facebook will
add all those viewers onto your website, onto your new custom audience. So it's re-
targeting list basically. Now you can not only re-target people that land on a blog post but
you can re-target people that watch your video in the news feed even though if they don't
click through. It's super powerful. It's massive branding. So we're on video ads, I run video
ads all the time to a webinar or I run video ads when I promoted this launch the digital
marketers just did and I was cool because, yes, I was promoting a product but I was also
building my own website custom audiences as part of my videos. So I was branding myself
in massive ways. With [Unintelligible 00:39:54] always be thinking about what this mark
or this social media statues because people are not always ready to buy yet right? So you're
always trying to figure out how you can use direct response marketing but also how you
can be creating goodwill along the way, that's what we try to do.
If you look at this here what I've done here is called, we have 9-step Facebook process, 9-
step campaign blueprint. The new step one is to design the user experience. This is the user
experience design that you're going to do for your business. For me for example, step 1 is
right here and I've got a live campaign. Can you guys see that right here? This right here is
basically asking people to click like. So it's says "Getting all the life in social media? Like us
and watch current case studies on how we do it." I'm not saying click like if you like
Facebook or click like if you like leads, I'm actually saying click like if you want watch case
studies on how we do it. I'm telling people to click like if you want to hear more from us.
We don't want to just trick people. We want quality. We want those fans because we're
going to be able to target those fans with these ads down here and get a lot cheaper clicks
and a lot cheaper leads. But we can also get a thing that's called connection targeting. Next
time you go to Facebook take a look at the news feed and up there you'll see an app or even
just a business Facebook page that says, "Ralph Burns also like this. Ralph Burns and 47
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 12
others also like Nike." Have you ever seen that? What that is, is social proof and that's called
connection targeting. That's when I might say I want to target fans of digital marketer that
also have a friend that is a fan of dominant web media. So you get that connection targeting
and it gives you lower click costs, higher click through rates, that's higher conversion, right?
So you definitely want to do that but it's cool because you can set-up a Facebook like
campaign in about 10 minutes and just let it run 5 bucks a day if you want forever. It's just
running in the background.
And this right here is targeting cold interspace audiences, right? So we've got cold
audiences going to your right campaign. The one right here, this is the blog content page
just like the one I showed you with Betty Rocker. This one here says blog post. Here's the
exact process we use to ensure maximum success with our high-end clients' Facebook ad
campaigns. When I've got the word blog in the parenthesis right at the beginning. So people
see the sponsor but they also see the blog. Their guard goes down, right? You get higher
click through rates. You probably can't see these numbers right here but it's got 870 likes
with 406 shares. It's in the business niche, this isn't like weight loss and spirituality, this is
super passion. This is like some people stuff. Because this it's a blog post you get those high
share rates. Something like webinar ads and stuff like that it'll be like 10-1. I might have a
100 likes and 10 or 5 shares. It's really not close but that's okay. Basically you have this here
which is targeting cold audiences. Somebody that likes Infusionsoft or Facebook
advertising. That's going to drive traffic to this right here which is un-gated content. This is
an un-gated blog post where they can now have to opt-in. However on this blog post like
right below that video I've got a button that says download the 9 Step Mind Map, because
I'm talking about my 9 step process on that blog. So this blog post right here has a 22% opt-
in rate on that blog because I've got a lead box right below that video. It's a button that just
clicks and pops up in the opt-in. This is actually getting the high opt-in rate. Anyways that's
not always the case. So you know I can be in the case if it's very relevant. As we move our
way down this... Let's do this here. Is this making sense, is this not still confusing you guys
so far?
Let's go down a funnel a little bit here. Now, right here this a regular, we call this a link post
ad, this is where the most common out that you see that it mentions a clickable link. So if
you click on that image it takes them on Facebook, right? This right here says managing
paid traffic, question mark. Don't hold the 9-step social traffic checklist and mind map
template then implement it in your business. By the way, everybody on this call right now
can have this download. I'll give you guys the whole PDF, you can have it.
[Crosstalk 00:45:26]
Ralph: Also, I'm not quite down with it but I've got a template. It will look more like this. If you
guys want I can give you guys the template too and it's actually a lucid chart template. So
you can actually take this template and I'll make it shareable. And then you can actually
build your funnel from this. I think that'll be super helpful.
Mark: Excellent Keith, thank you.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 13
Ralph: We're not done with our stuff right now. Basically, if you look right here this right here,
managing traffic, "Download the 9 step social traffic checklist and mind map template and
implement it in your business. So this right here is going to stick with writing here. This half
is driving traffic to its squeeze page right here. This is just a long basic squeeze page where
they download the checklist. Now, I want to display this ad to fans and to people that have
been to one of my website custom audience. This right here is going to be targeted to fans
and to non-converted website audiences, or even they watched one of my videos that
haven't yet opted in. This right here, this is a link post that's going to a squeeze page but it's
not going to cold traffic. It's going to warm traffic. And so I can take them up to a squeeze
page and that's okay. Another way I can do this is I might run a video ad. I like to run video
ads if I'm going to an opt-in page where people don't know who I am yet. If I was running a
video ad I would run that to cold traffic. Notice I just got the blue line here, this one doesn't.
Yes, we could run these ads to cold traffic. But I'm telling your right now, people don't know
who you are and you're just going a late post ad to a squeeze page. You're going to get super
low relevance scores with super high click costs. It just doesn't work that well. It doesn't
mean it can't work. I promise you that it can with that really, really good copy when it is a
longer copy. If you're going to do that you're not going to do any of this stuff we talked about
here, you're only going to run a link post ad then I would suggest using really long copy in
the post and give them some value away first before they take the business squeeze page.
Those who are doing that Mark’s figuring out a way of how we can kind of shake their hands,
give them that tip then bring them to my accounts.
[Unintelligible 00:48:02] which is in that squeeze page. So in this case I've got a video right?
If I'm in a video I can target my video to cold traffic. I'll target it to cold traffic and to my
website custom audiences and to my fans. So I'll target that to all three. And now we'll go
this can be a video ad that goes to the squeeze page, or it can be a video ad, right it goes to
a webinar. This screenshot right here is actually a webinar video and takes you to a webinar
landing page. Yes, you can drive cold traffic from Facebook to opt-in pages. It doesn't work
that well if you're just doing it this way to a squeeze page. I'm just telling right now. And
also Facebook hates that. They really do. They want you to do this stuff. Something to really
understand right now is that you know how I said that if somebody clicks on your ad and
they go to your landing page, and they bounce her back to Facebook right away you get a
low relevance score, or if you…. 49:08] that if she did a lot of negative feedback, so people
can put negative feedback on your ad, that will give you higher click costs and lose your
impressions, and it will give you a lower relevant score. And if that happens too much then
you can hear your account banging and you don't know why. When you're running an ad
like this to a squeeze page I'm only showing that to people that have already visited my
website, or watched a video or some [Unintelligible 00:49:34], you don't get as much
negative feedback because they trust you already. Does that makes sense?
Mark: Yeah.
Keith: That's why it's okay to do that, and that's why I would rather, especially if you're just
starting out I would not run a link post ad to a squeeze page, I wouldn't do it. Unless you
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 14
have a lot of history in your account. Because if you get some negative feedback right away
they'll just ban your account.
Ralph: Hey Keith, let me just add something in there in the left hand side, the yellow, orange, and
then sort of darker orange, those are sorts of levels of warmth toward the eventual sale.
You have to think about a fan getting campaign, a like getting campaign is a warmish lead.
Somebody says yes, they click on your ad, they like your page, they say, "Yes, I do want
social media tips" or whatever your niche is. Then you have now your first interaction. I
think as direct marketers we're all super focused on I got to build my list, I got to get my
email address so I can cultivate them through my autoresponder sequence, which is great.
However, in Facebook you can actually create levels of warmth up to that lead. The lead is
probably hotter than a fan and it's hotter than somebody who has clicked on an ad and
actually been captured inside your website custom audience. Think about these as all lead
lists. I think that's probably the best way to think about it. A fan is a potential lead. You can
market to them. You can send them your offers, your low priced offers, your core offer
eventually. Anybody who clicks on a ungated piece of content and then their pixels is now
in a new lead list inside your audiences. And then the next stage as Keith just explained.
Then you can actually put in the next level of commitment. Now I'm going to give you
something in exchange for your name and email address, or maybe just your email address.
So it's a much more natural progression down the funnel so to speak. But it also really
mirrors the outside world, and that's really what Facebook wants. If you do it that way you
keep your account provided that you stay within the terms of service, the policy, guidelines,
and so forth. As long as you do that you stay in Facebook's graces.
Now remember we started a brand new ad account for a client or a brand new campaign,
we always start with this progression. Link campaign first, ungated blog post content, killer
content, and then as the lead capture or webinar registration, and then them on
[Unintelligible 00:52:18] from there. But think about those boxes as your own lead list, like
you own them, and you can market to them as long as you're advertising on Facebook, and
it's really, really powerful.
Mark: I just got a question there from Annie. Is there an advantage or disadvantage of having a
personal and business profile? I'll be curious about that as well. Have you noticed any
difference if somebody was advertising under the personal Facebook account or a business
account. You got different kinds and types of account, right?
Ralph: It's a business page that you can advertise from your personal profile. A legitimate personal
profile has to be attached to a business page. But all advertising comes out of the business
page it may be a business profile but all your advertising needs to be done from a Facebook
business page so for that answer is...
Mark: I think what you mean is you can have a business profile, you can also have a celebrity,
that's what I'm thinking of, celebrity profile. A celebrity profiles can advertise too can they?
Ralph: Correct.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 15
Mark: Is it an advantage or disadvantage on any kind of account or is it doesn't really matter?
Ralph: In most cases its business pages that we advertise through but we also have profiles that
are celebrity profiles. They typical don't advertise through that, they usually advertise it
through their business page. I don't think there's an advantage one way or the other. But as
long as that business page, in essence what you're talking about is a business page. As long
as it's attached to a legitimate personal profile for a legitimate person on Facebook, you're
in Facebook's good graces.
Keith: Definitely. Everything you see here has to be original from a business page. So when it
comes to organic, just engaging with your circle of friends and stuff like that, that's where
your personal profile is for. And in doing stuff on your personal profile is okay related to
your business Think about it like in real world. Like you go to a party, you're going to talk
about personal stuff, you're also going to talk about business. As far your efforts from a
profile is related, I think it's okay to talk business on it, just not too much. Just use your
judgment just like you would in the real world. As far as this is concerned you've got to have
a Facebook business campaign and then it stems from there.
Mark: Great, thanks.
Keith: It's just tough to see but I've got the whole thing here exactly what Ralph says. So you want
to bring people down this naturally, right? What I like to think about is these different steps
in the funnel, not in your funnel yet, this is your audience, to a fan, to your website, reading
your content, consuming your content, to becoming a lead. Now they're on your email list,
now they're on your customer list. Think about if you're using a CRM like Infusionsoft or
Ontraport, you can do this a little bit in Aweber too. So basically you want to tag your
visitors, you got your all subscribers list and then you have your hot leads and then you
have your customers, right? There's a lot of different ways that you want to... Basically you
want to tag your subscribers, right? And you want to do the same thing with Facebook but
the cool thing is they don't have to actually opt-in. You're building these audiences in your
back end of your Facebook account depending on where they land. Right here where they
click like, they're a fan, they visit a blog post here, they're now inside this audience here. If
they watch this video here we're going to be inside this audience here because they watched
a video. Now what I know there's a third in this audience I can now place some kind of
different ad in front of them. So if you see down here what I've done is I've got, we literally
just finishing up on our new funny, we still have to do a couple of live webinars to add that
into our sequence. We've been building up a new funnel for my book that's in bookstores
and stuff for quite file. We're finally just finished with it all. You'll see here not only
[Unintelligible 00:57:01] for students but for our own funnel. We've got students right now
that have all of these they're just children. Like Betty Rocker right now, if you look at this
here. I'll kind of drive a little bit deeper here and show you how it works as you get further
down the funnel.
Let's say your goal is to get somebody to the results page. This right here is a sales page for
me where somebody can get my book for free plus $4.95 shipping. It's a bonus for training,
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 16
not in a Facebook passport system. This sales page right here I've got a link post ad that I
will be putting in front of leads, people have already opted in. The only way I want a link
post which is like the one you saw appear where the link is clickable, it's not a video ad
basically to somebody that I know is already opted in. So maybe they've already landed on
the sales page but they just haven't bought yet. So I'll run a link post ad targeting leads, they
can then like in sales page here. I'll run a short video ad kind of like this one up here. It's
targeting leads, people have opted in, then to sales page but not [Unintelligible 00:58:34],
this sales page typically people will get that after they opt-in to my lead magnet. If they opt-
in but they don't buy then they're going to see a video or take some there, right? Because
it's a video ad I feel comfortable that if I know some of you have back here on one of website
custom audiences maybe they read that article up that we posted up there that we're
promoting, maybe they aren't a lead yet but they've just consumed some of my content, I
will run a video ad to that person, taken into this offer because it's an impulse buy $5 offer,
and we'll convert. Just like Betty Rocker is doing right now with her video ads with the
people that read her blog. Though you want to think about these different campaigns as
where audience are going to put them in front of. These are basically lists. They'll see these
lists inside Facebook growing every single day as people hit these different pages that's part
of your full. Then if you want to go down over here to the customer section, this is super
advanced stuff here that we have a client right now running a VSL 30-minute video in
Facebook normal news feed driving traffic right to the order form. [Unintelligible 00:59:53
is setting on now for her campaign.
So it's a VSL in Facebook and with Facebook right now what they've done is they've added
a button that was our little call to action button right there that you can have right on the
screen. So when somebody's on a mobile device and they're strong [Unintelligible
01:00:11] their news feed on their mobile device and they see a video and they click play
it'll go full screen. So they'll be watching at full screen. The your call to action will be right
on their screen. It says get it now. Then you click on it then you can take your product to
your order form. Do I recommend doing this? No, I don't at all but it can be done if you kind
have a really good well-written video which everybody on this call. If anybody wants to do
something like this I would say this would be the best program to go through because this
is all... The only reason this is working around now for our clients is because it's one of the
best copywriters. She's out doing an event with Dan Kennedy [Unintelligible 01:00:54] next
fall. He's awesome and basically learned from your guys there's a whole world. This right
here is possible but I don't recommend it unless you have really good copy. You could offer
the same thing over here.
Ralph: The one thing in that video I will say is that he educates. I think if you look at all thing...
Keith: And it's only working on mobile too. [Unintelligible 01:01:19]
Ralph: Yeah, there is a pitch at minute 25 but it's the same point they were talking about here, you
have to educate, you have to shake their hand first before you pitch them. It doesn't get into
the pitch until the last 7 or 8 minutes but the first 20 plus minutes is all education. And it's
good content. Thing about that. You can deliver the same type of technique in a lot of
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 17
different ways. You can do it through video, you can do it through just blog post where
people are actually clicking and going to your website, and you're educating them, and
they're starting to understand who you are, you're providing value. Provide value first and
then ask for the ask, the opt-in, the webinar registration. Facebook rewards you with
cheaper clicks, with more impressions, and as you see in the example with Betty Rocker, in
her case we're not even bothering with leads we're just going over some content and then
right to a sale for a $47 product because the content is so good, so engaging, [Unintelligible
01:02:25], her targeting and everything is spot on, all the other sorts of things, all the
copywriting stuff that you guys are teaching as well. She's really good in that regard. But
you're educating first, and I think that's really a huge C change in Facebook now is that you
didn't have to do that a year ago. It's almost like now you're being forced to do it, it's because
of the algorithm change.
Mark: Keith if I can just ask on the left hand side you got leads and subscribers there for custom
audience. That tracking pixel, that also divides up into different types of custom audience,
how far they've got along the funnel, is that right? So for example for latent subscribers how
do you know that custom audience is just latent subscribers and is not the one above it?
Keith: Yeah, great question. Ralph, would it be easier for you to explain it or me? I think I know
this question. Basically, what you're going to do is inside Facebook, my [Unintelligible
01:03:35] to show him it's on Facebook.
Mark: I'll see if I can rework the question. You've got different types of custom audience and how
warm they are. You mentioned a little back that you would maybe send your leads and
subscribers to a video. How do you know inside Facebook that there are leads and
subscribers?
Keith: What you do, for me, let's say I want to target people that have opted in. Let's say after they
registered for this webinar they land on this sales page over here, right? This is my thank
you page/sales page. This right here, whatever this URL is. Let's say the URL it said
[Unintelligible 01:04:19].com/thankyou. Inside Facebook you're going to create a custom
audience and call it thank you, whatever your lead magnet is, right? That is that URL,
everything's tracked within the URL. Let's say you have a blog or a Wordpress site, you put
Facebook's website custom audience pixel one time, in the main theme general settings,
and in the header of your site one time and that's it. You never have to worry about the code
again. All you do is you go into Facebook and tell them which URL you want to contract, and
that's it. If you use something like lead page areas or something like the different sub
domain you just put the entire URL in there and then that's how you track it. When you go
on to create your ads, what we do in Facebook we just say, "I want to include these books
and exclude these books." So if I'm going to run an ad to a lead gen page I want to exclude
on my leads. I'll just exclude [Unintelligible 01:05:18] or call it webinar thank you, or 9-step
checklist opt-in. Things like [Unintelligible 01:05:26] we can show you what we mean.
Maybe Ralph can get on up and ready, it might easier. I can show you that. It's a little bit
more [Unintelligible 01:05:36] but this stuff right here, whenever we take on a new
coaching client we'll typically spend a couple of hours working through this.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 18
What I want everybody listening right now is to really try to realize is that you do not have
to build this whole thing. Having this template I think is really powerful because it gets you
kind of motivated and single holes you need to fill for your file. But if I was going to take
somebody who walks in this training right now and they hadn't run any Facebook ads yet.
I'll tell you what I would do. We have a 9-step process but first thing I would do is I would
figure out what your league magnet is, right? It's kind of blurry there but I would figure out
what your kind of Facebook appropriate offer is. Is it going to be a checklist, is it going to
be a cheat sheet, is it going to be a webinar, webinars work great. Kind of figure what that
is. So you figure out what your lead magnet here is, so you've got your lead magnet and we
would create that. And then you get yourself goodwill content, right? That's the blog post.
Do we need to write a blog every week? No. One peace of content can blow an entire
campaign. You don't have to be a prolific writer. Just think about writing a piece of content
is hinting at education but also many people know they need more, all right. Basically our
[Unintelligible 01:07:05] be one piece of content. And if they couldn't do that then maybe
I'll have them do video ad, because the video ad can sometimes do that same thing, right?
And then I will also have them run a fan campaign in the background. We might spend 10
bucks a day or 5 bucks a day on fan like campaign. This is also going to help figure out which
audiences are most responsive which I'm sure are kind of the best ones to use down here
with the rest of your lead gen stuff. So then I might spend $10 a day amplifying this content.
We knew that everybody that lands on this page, we're going to be able to target back to
our lead magnet page, this landing page here. We've got a sales page here and what we can
do now is everybody that maybe opts in or visits the goodwill content but doesn't but
maybe we want a video ad or a video testimonial ad if we have one. We can take them going
to sales pitch. That's what I would do. One piece of content, go to the landing page, run some
fan getting campaigns, and maybe have some kind of retargeting campaign bringing people
back to your sales page. Keep it simple. Does that make sense?
Mark: Yeah.
Ralph: I just wanted to add on to this. It's almost like you can target people based upon behaviors
so accurately now in Facebook just like you can on behaviors based upon like Infusionsoft.
Either it's tagging or separate lists so you can segment out where they are in your funnel
and tailor your message based upon their previous action. That's how scientific it is now
with this website custom audience stuff. Sorry to interrupt you there Kevin.
Kevin: Oh no problem. Actually we wrote a long piece on big data and how they could just look at
it as a DNA string and see all the different clips of customer have in common with another
customer that was just... If they just recorded the entire pike coming in and out of their
house or the internet. They could find out what movies they were all watching, what
segments they sell with all the other stuff. You didn't have to do anything sophisticated all
you needed to do was go, "These guys, I'll have this 10 string inc common. I'll watch this
movie, or I'll watch this commercial, or I'll have this 10 different strings. But the questions
I have for your other than that is are these people staying inside of Facebook as far as your
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 19
list forever, or do they end up on get response of Infusionsoft and all the other ones? That's
what everyone calls it, so I was...
Ralph: Anybody that becomes a fan of your goodwill content, that was a list inside Facebook. It's
not an asset that you own so you always have that risk. Which is why you're always be
running lead gen I think. It's part of the piece, right?
[Crosstalk 01:10:06]
Kevin: ...become your property, the name of your relationship that Facebook no longer has.
Ralph: When you opt-in you're less [Unintelligible 01:10:18]
Bond: I've actually put in a re-targeting pixel. The other thing I want to also say that we're just not
touching on is there's a lot of boost to your income just by re-targeting people who are
already fans and visiting your webpage because we have traffic that comes to the Gary
Halbert Letter that we don't capture. That's only touch. Because of the re-targeting pixel, if
you're Facebook or even a Google one or whatever, you can go out there and when they're
cruising around they see you pop up again, and that goes back to what you were saying
Keith about good branding. [Unintelligible 01:10:53] answer these questions too. But I have
one question, I want to know how well do you think look alike audiences do, or do you have
any tips for that? Because when you share us the profile of that retargeting list, the look-
alike audience is so huge and you just salivate. I would love for those 3 million people to
convert that way. But I know that Unintelligible 01:11:15] is down so I'm curious what your
experiences are.
Keith: I would let Ralph answer that and I'm going to sit down here for a second and answer some
of these questions because that's a great question, because it really depends on the amount
of data you have. Some cases it look like audiences, the only thing you can target and it's the
best audience. Most cases when you're just starting out you're going to layer. You want to
answer in a better way Ralph?
Ralph: Yeah. I think if you're creating your look alike audience how did you do it? Do you
remember what you used, did you use a website custom audience pixel to create the look
alike audience?
Bond: Basically whenever I have a custom audience or I go in and select somebody else's fan page.
But yes, in this particular instance what I'm talking about is when I go in there I look at the
audience that's building up, and by the way this goes to exactly what you're talking about.
When I go in to my ads manager I see this list of people that grows every day and those are
the people who visited our site but not necessarily opted in or gave us an email. And so that
particular one will have a look alike. If there are other look alikes but I assume people
who've already visited the Gary Halbert Letter are a much higher and better prospect. Look
alike for that versus [Unintelligible 01:12:32] it will look alike that might be just a fan of
somebody who's also a fan.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 20
Ralph: Yeah, it totally makes sense. A look alike audience for website custom audience is probably
in our experience, it's potentially a good list. The best look alike audiences that we use and
sometimes we use them without any other interest targeting at all are from a conversion
pixel. If somebody goes to the Gary Halbert Letter and then opts in, the more conversions
they are on that pixel on the thank you page the better that look alike audience potentially
is. For example I'll give an example of lookalike audience, a friend of ours is using like
22,000 conversions on it. We've got a client that probably has at least that many on there
maybe 40,000. It's like the golden pixel for us. And that look alike audience is incredibly
powerful. We make iterations of that based off that pixel for a variety of different things.
When it comes to look alike audiences the more data you give Facebook on it, like for
example that website custom audience that you're talking about, if it has 100 people in it,
it's less powerful than it has 100,000 people in it by a factor of a thousand. The more you
have there the better potential audience you can actually have it towards the target for lead
generation, for sale, whatever it happens to be. But sometimes those audiences like you
said, they're typically in the US. They're anywhere between 1,2 and 2,4 million so they're
really large. So what we'll do is to narrow those down will overlay the exact demographic
of our ideal customer. If we know that that ideal customer is 35-44 male, we'll overlay that
and all of a sudden that will come down to maybe 400,000-500,000 people. Or maybe we'll
know for example like for a coaching client we all add in an interest of coaching on top of a
lookalike audience. And now that interest goes from a couple of million down to maybe
400,000-500,000. Those are super targeted potential customers for you. The more you can
layer you targeting the better. But if your pixel has, for example that one client that has
30,000-40,000 hits on that pixel we're just using the look alike audience with age
demographics and that's it. And it's converting exactly the way that we want. Unfortunately,
they're not doing a lot of the stuff that we're talking about here with the content
amplification or the ads, so Facebook is restricting the amount of impressions that we're
getting. But you're on the right track with what you're doing because those look alike
audiences are going to be really super powerful for you as long as you use them in a lot of
different ways to test them out.
Okay, I have a question which we were all amazed back in the day that you were now to put
a phone number on a Facebook ad which kind of defeated the whole idea of tracking
anything. I don't know if they got rid of the phone number in the ad. So if they have in the
side. I believe they're just crazy stuff that they allow to happen. Do they ever allow you to
target someone else's custom audience?
Bond: No. Obviously, you can target their fans but you can't target their custom audience. They do
have a thing where you can share a saved audience with somebody else.
Keith: Actually, we were trying to do that the other day because it wasn't letting us do it and I don't
know if that was because they were having those issues with saved audiences but we have
a client that's in the UK that can do it. Like they shared one of their audiences with us. That
can be really powerful if somebody uploads their list. And then you can create like a look
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 21
like audience, or you can share that audience and they can create a look like audience and
target those people.
Bond: Somebody out there listening has got to be the first shared audience list broker, big time.
...that because it's a different animal. I got a shared list, and I got these guys, and then....
Kevin: I have another question, we had Teran Dale on, he's a PPC expert, you guys are the Facebook
experts. I think he does Facebook too because you guys have here stuff, secrets... It's funny
because these all started with Perry Marshall back in the day when I asked him a question.
I said, "Can you reverse engineer a PPC ad?" He reluctantly told us how it could be done. Is
there a way to reverse engineer XYZ's campaign?
Ralph: As far as finding his custom audience, other than just cooking around and generally looking.
Bond: ...Kennedy's audience
Kevin: How would you go... I want to know everything about his audience.
Ralph: There's a couple of different things. Have you guys ever looked at audience insights?
Kevin: Did Teran do that? I don't...
Bond: No, I've only done it for audiences since it's far out. Can you do it for others?
Keith: Sort of, let me show you what I mean here. I'm inside audience insights right now and let's
say I want to look at... How about... Let's do Frank Kern and I can use audience insights and
I will have to be connected to their account. I look at their fans and I can look at the
demographic data. He's got [Unintelligible 01:19:17], 45% men. It's almost the same as
Facebook. That's kind of weird. Page like data, all the different page likes, this is the
relevance to success magazine, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki. This is one of the first
strings that we have people do when they get ready to start a new account. We get them
going here. We have a whole exercise. You create a Google Box spreadsheet and you start
basically brained up in everything that you see in here and you start combining things. But
you can look at activity. I can look at household income for Frank Kern fans, not his list but
his fans. Like I said, if you have your own list you can now do this with your own list but
you got to have the actual list to do more than that. You can do some of that or you can do
things like people like Frank Kern and Ryan Deiss or something, and Bryan [Unknown name
01:20:21]
Bond: Can I have the title Keith Krance helps the Halberts steal Frank Kern's [Unintelligible
01:20:28]. Watch that video live. Just like here to watch it.
Keith: You're seeing different ones. If you start to look at... You could look at some things like...
Let's put in like Infusionsoft and Ontraport. You're looking at some of the CRM's, right?
Ontraport... There's different ways to do this [Unintelligible 01:21:03]. Let's just put in...
Ralph: My kind of way.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 22
Keith: Yeah, it's more of an enterprise kind of brand, bigger brand. HubSpot... These are bigger
people, you can start to get so more data that way. There's a lot of different of ways you can
do this. You can put somebody, like a brand up here and then you can also have your custom
audience. I can put in my customers and then you can also add the... This is big enough
obviously because it's [Unintelligible 01:21:40] customers who also like these things. So it's
too small of a list to get data. But you'll be surprised you can get demographic data pretty
quickly from your audience.
Ralph: Just to answer that question, this is one I don't I've even told Keith I've done couple of times.
There's a lot of people use Google UTM's. And sometimes those UTM's are very descriptive.
For a competitor at the campaign term, content, name, you can actually pick out individual
interests for a Facebook ad based on the Google UTM. So if you see your competition and
you click on their ad, you're probably immediately re-targeted. But if you read the URL
string you can sometimes actually pick up what they're interest targeting is. I've done that
on a number of occasions.
Keith: There's a thing that Facebook doesn't have, it's they don't have a good spy tool like Adbeat
and WhatRunsWhere, you can see where people are running display. Facebook does not
have [Unintelligible 01:22:53].
Ralph: I don't want to get caught running something on Facebook Keith.
Keith: That's the one thing you got to remember about Facebook, you've got to be a good person
in every way. Because they could change their algorithm tomorrow and find out something
they don't like you did 6 months ago. I remember watching people from Google get banned
for things that they did a year prior.
If you guys want I can... If you go into audiences on the left side of your ads manager, inside
audiences now, on the right top you can see where it says custom audience and lookalike
audience. This is a question you asked earlier about lookalike audience and here's where
you create a custom audience. I can say let's do website traffic. Select that and let's put
anyone who visits specific webpages, and this is where my book dominate. We'll have
media.com/thankyouchecklist. Now anybody that hits this page, and I might call that
checklist opt-ins, or checklist thank you page because you're also going to have a conversion
pixel which is a whole another thing. But basically this is where you would create your
audience. I don't have to place the code anymore because I've already done it. You just
quickly create that and it'll be in there.
So when you're in your ads manager and you go into the targeting. If you want I can show
you... Usually we use the power to create ads because once you get used to it it's much
easier. Let's say once your inside your ads manager or the power editor, or whatever you're
creating your ad, I can go and edit my targeting. I'm going fast right now because we don't
have time to go through everything. There's just way too much to learn. Notice this right
here. In this case custom audience. This ad is targeting all customer lookalike and all leads
lookalike. What you can also do is I can say, exclude 30 day opt-in. So if I was excluding this
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 23
30-day upfront it would be excluded, so you'll be excluding your lead. In this case, this is
actually an overlay.
Ralph: It's not additive, it's subtractive.
Keith: Yeah, exactly.
Ralph: It concentrates it even more. You can see she has sort of all three elements. When I was
telling Mr. Bond this question before, she has all three elements. She has her ideal avatar,
female obviously, 27-47, I forget exactly what it is. Lookalike audience is plus specific
interest. This is a super targeted ad using lookalike audiences. And it said if I run the best
ways to target because you get the lookalike audience benefit but you also get the interest
benefit. And it's like you said, it takes people out that are less qualified. It's like the Venn
diagram between the two circles so to speak.
Keith: I'll show you [Unintelligible 01:26:42] right here. Basically, in this one here... By the way
this targeting stuff, all this stuff is important but the stuff that we shared at the beginning,
everybody usually wants to get to ninja targeting tips and stuff like that. This stuff is like
minute compared to the stuff we talked about earlier. It's so much more important I think.
Bond: But the main key thing, you can actually hire out the mechanics usually. What's working
now that's the precious knowledge.
Keith: This one here, it's starting some big, broad audiences like Gwyneth Paltrow, are you kidding
me? Michelle Obama, originally when we were looking at this I was like, "I don't know man,
these are kind of broad. You're going to have to at least do an overlay but this audience is
killing it for her. But what she's doing here is one of the main reasons why, it's because she's
targeting people that they either like one of these audiences and they also have to be inside
her look alike customer list, or our leads lookalike. Let's watch what happens over here. If
you look here potential reach right now is 500,000 people. If I go here and I delete one of
these, let's just take away the I'll leave one. Let's look at the audience. Now it's down to 370.
But now if what happens if I take away both of those. It's like 2.4 million. So 2.4 million
people in that audience. Now instead saying, "Hey, I want to target to somebody who likes
one of these" I'm saying, "I want to target somebody who likes one of these and is also in
my look alike audience of leads and..."
Ralph: That kind of makes sense to me because either the people in these list are role models or
maybe these people are watching a show that has a commercial that reinforces the same
subject matter of what these people are interested... The kind of commercials that are being
run on Dr. Oz. You could have Gwyneth Paltrow going, "Man, I wish I had her body." Or you
could be watching Dr. Oz and you know that they're seeding everyone's mind on this kind
of idea, this kind of weight loss, or whatever, control. I don't know that's the exact answer
but you can see reasons like style of role models or anything like that might play
[Unintelligible 01:29:12] overlay.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 24
Keith: Absolutely, especially if she has the right message, right? If she has the right message. And
that's another thing. This is why for us we love coaching clients. The agency stuff for us is
harder for us to scale. We have so much work that goes involved in the copy and I don't
know if the lead magnet is Facebook appropriate. Being able to really connect with that
audience, figure out what direct copy is for that audience. It's not the easy thing to do but
if you have the basics and really understand the direct response like George [Unknown
name 01:29:58] copywriting then you can always learn this stuff. That's the most important
part, understanding the process and understanding the copy we can teach anybody the
Facebook stuff. For us it's hard for to find people that understand really direct response
marketing and can understand what our client is trying to accomplish. It's hard to train
people. You can't just take people out of school and train them how to understand all these
stuff. That's why if they invested in your guys' program it's so powerful. It's what's the
important part I think.
Mark: I've got a question for Ralph and the UTM. Can you explain what the UTM cords is how you
would find them?
Ralph: Yeah. If you see an ad for your competition in the news feed because you've been probably
targeted by them, in your case copywriting I'm sure you see other their business, coaching,
or copywriting, Keith can probably show example here is that a lot of advertisers especially
if they're agency advertisers that use the Google UTM primer. It works as a tracking code
which helps to target through Google analytics in essence. But when you click on one of
those ads it actually shows up inside the tide... You click the link or something. You can see
it. Sometimes, and it's not on every single ad like on this one for [Unintelligible 01:31:34]
house. He's not using it. He's using I think that's Infusionsoft.
Not on every single one but you see like that stream after where it's UTM... Seattle
[Unintelligible 01:32:02], yeah, that was one actually. Let me get back to that.
Keith: The tax [Unintelligible 01:32:07]. This one, is that what you're talking about?
Ralph: Yeah. It must be a little too late here.
Keith: [Unintelligible 01:32:21]
Ralph: Yup. Campaign, this is for Seattle for June 10th. The medium is probably feed means
newsfeed, not exactly sure what some of this.
Keith: Right, I see it.
Ralph: Stuff is there. After content it's like add one. Sometimes right in there you'll see [Unknown
name 01:32:39], Robins, [Unknown name 01:32:43], or something like that. You can only
guess what those are. As far as the spy tool goes it's not 100%. But if they're using these
tracking codes like they a[re right here, you can say their name...
Keith: Is it their naming scheme that they're using?
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 25
Ralph: Yeah, it's typically their naming scheme. But if they use an automation service like Quaya
or AdEspresso which is a third party which helps you actually manage your Facebook ads,
they'll be really blatant because they'll be ad 1, Jack's face. The actual interest will be in the
UTM itself. And if you're a smart marketer you can read that and know exactly what they're
targeting, or that specific ad. You might say WCA which is probably website custom
audience, or CA lead list. You could do it sort of reverse engineer. It would take you a while
to do it. There are ways to do it which I don't know if that's sneaky or not but I've used it on
[Unintelligible 01:33:58]
Keith: Yeah. Agents has to be effective.
Mark: Keith and Ralph, what I'm going to do guys, I'll take a couple of questions from the audience.
I'll ask the guys if they have anything else. And for Michael Miguel, "Can you re-target these
businesses?" I assume that question's been asked for you Michael, if not you can just type it
in. From Mary, "I get the difference, keep levels of traffic. But how much variety of ad should
you have for each of those levels called Traffic, wrong traffic, etc." I think what Mary means
there is do you have just one ad for cold, interest-based targeting or would you have a lot?
Keith: I think I understand the question. Like I said before, let's say you want to get started. You
want to run one content piece like this, to a piece of content. It's one campaign but you
might, for example in your advertising organization you might have 10 ad sets of different
targeting. You like to separate those out in different ad sets as much as you can but it's like
one main ad. And then maybe you're split testing. Let's say you start out with three different
versions of this image. And you can test the different image. And then maybe you find our
which image is winning and then you can test different copy. That would be the way to look
at. Let's say... Basically, you don't have to have a ton of different campaign's going as you're
first starting now. It'll also depend on the size of your audience.
Bond: The bigger the audience is, the ad has to work its way through that, the longer that ad will
run before you have to come up with something fresh or something new. But you're always
going to be looking at and changing your ads, and creating something fresh eventually, or
testing different things. Just leave the biggest ware to start working on the media's list. Keep
going at that until... That makes to a good question. Is there a tell-tale sign or something that
tells you that an ad is played out and it's time to move it on before Facebook says, "This
thing got some native feedback or [Unintelligible 01:36:52]." Because one thing I did see for
a while last year was some people got really sick and tired of some ads that they didn't
mind. It's just they got sick of seeing it 6 times a day. Then they got the negative feedback.
Keith: Totally, good question. It's not super scientific on that, however there's a couple of ways.
One is the frequency is the big one. You can look at your campaigns and you can see if the
frequency which is the amount of times that ad is displayed to individual user starts to go
up. Then you might start to look at things. And if you see the frequency starting to come up.
Or maybe your click through rate is starting to decrease a little bit then that's a sign.
However, you have to realize, let's go back to Facebook. There's a huge difference between
this news feed ad here and these two right column ads here, right? This news feed ad pretty
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 26
much takes up almost the entire news feed. This is content, and this is native advertising.
Facebook will not display this ad over and over to the same person. They're limited to a
frequency of two. However, if you have this ad over here, if you want to have a frequency of
30 to a smaller audience they will let you continue to run that. But you'll start to see your
click-through rates go down and your cost per click come up a little bit. It kind of depends
on what you're goal is. If you're trying to get people to show up on a webinar and you want
a high a frequency kind. But it kind of depends. But you can really start to see inside your
report.
Mark: Kevin, did you have any other questions?
Kevin: No, that's great.
Mark: Bond, you're good?
Bond: Yeah, I'm good. Actually, I just wanted to add something because the thing is this is so
ingrained in Kevin and I because you talk about how warm the lead is. It's based on their
actions and everything. This has always been a numbers business, on Facebook, off
Facebook in everything. But I want to point out another thing which is in the future it's
going to be very lucrative to take a look at you old ads because in newspaper advertising
you could run a campaign and it would to start to no longer be run up. You couldn't be
profitable. But you let that thing rest for a while then all of sudden you can hit the papers
again. I just want people to remember that if you're watching this a year from now take a
look at the ads that are working right now because there's a good chance that the audience
may have gotten a break. That's what it is really, it's just like a relationship.
[Unintelligible 01:39:32]
Keith: That's a great point. That's one reason why... Let's say you're going to run an ad and you
want to split test three images. Sometimes by doing that it actually will help because you're
rotating your ads at the same time. Just realize that Facebook is weird that way. If you have
more than two or three ads inside ad set and Facebook a lot of times will limit the
impressions that you're getting, they'll just give the one that's getting the highest click
through rate and try to "optimize it." Like you said, you just might have to pause it, weigh a
little bit, and then restart it up again, so absolutely.
Mark: Guys and for everybody who's listening, first of all I'd like to say in behalf of Bond, Kevin,
and myself, thank you so much for the time you've both given us today, we really appreciate
it. For the audience if you're new to Facebook I think it may be to hard to realize just what
you got today because it's information that you won't get anywhere else, and it's
information that's working, so it's a real privilege for these guys to share this with us. On
behalf of everybody, guys, thank you very much.
Keith: No problem. I'll send you a link. If you want I could actually give you guys this right now. I
can put it in the chat, a PDF version of it real quick here.
Keith Krance and Ralph Burns Webinar
www.halbertology.com 27
Mark: You can put it in there, go to meeting chat, can you?
Keith: Yeah, you download it here and I'll put it in the Dropbox.
Mark: Maybe while Keith is doing that, Ralph there was another question, what's your thoughts
on special coupons, offers for fans of a particular product? The offers, do they work well, if
people have an offer?
Ralph: Only if there's a real incentive. There's like a discount coupon or some kind of code that
gives them something that they ordinarily wouldn't get if they were to buy it in a 3-year
normal channels. There's got to be a real steep discount or something really special
associated with it. That's when we've seen offers work the best. For coupons or discount
codes those work really well on re-targeting because you're going to get maybe your full
priced offer, but then maybe they don't take it but then you now have them pixeled and you
can re-target them with another ad that maybe says, "Hey, I noticed that you're still
interested in whatever it happens to be. Get 20% off now for the next 24 hours", or
whatever happens to be. Run that ad to that website custom audience because you know
they're already interested, they just need a little nudge to push them over the edge. I would
use it in that way. We don't use offers quite as much as we used to.
Keith: If you're in a local business like a restaurant, a Facebook offer will work all day long. For
certain types of national type of businesses it's going to be something you're going to want
to offer up to somebody that's already camping in your world, and it's such a great deal,
people will show the heck out of it. I see some great Facebook offers ran for sure. I used to
run them quite a bit actually. There's some cases that they can be pretty good, a cool thing
to do too. I would try it out for sure.
Mark: Excellent. I've got the PDF. For those who are on the call you can get it now, otherwise I will
put it in the member's area for those who missed that. Guys, I think we'll wrap it on there.
Keith: Thank you very much.
Ralph: Thanks guys.
Kevin: You bet.
Bond: No problem. Talk to you soon. By Mark, Keith, Ralph.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Also, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and that’s why no hypothetical profit record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in business.
There are a lot of other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific business objective which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect results.
