How People Use
Facebook
• To pass the time,
• Connect with friends & family
members or
• To be entertained by the content
they encounter.
• People aren’t searching for anything
in particular.
Facebook- Choosing What Page to Open
www.socialmediaexaminer.com/facebook-page-for-business
Facebook #1 - Upload a Great Profile Picture
Your profile picture is the one thing
everyone will associate with your
brand – it’s the image next to
everything you post.
Fact:
People are more likely to want to engage
with a person than a brand logo.
Facebook #1 - Upload a Great Profile Picture
Pro Tips
If your company has a solid logo, use that
logo. Do not use stock photos or text.
Use something people will recognize & recall
every time you post.
Do not change your profile picture very often
– unlike your cover photo.
Make sure it fits with your brand
If you’re building a personal brand or you are
a public figure like a blogger, politician,
musician, artist, etc., go with the personal
picture.
Facebook #2 - Have a Great Cover Photo
@SpeakeasyBeer
• The cover photo is your first & best chance to make a good
impression on would-be fans & prospective customers.
• It’s your personal billboard.
• Make sure you use an image and text that speaks about your brand
— but doesn’t overdo it.
Great Cover Photos are:
● High Quality
● Representative of your Brand
● Current
Pro Tips
Create your image at the
right size:
851 pixels by 315 pixels
Avoid: Stock photos
@janaeshieldsphotography
@thephotographerselement
Facebook #2 - Have a Great Cover Photo
The best – and cheapest method
is to use your camera or phone
and take a photo of your
business or your employees.
Tip: Make sure your logo is
prominent in the image (or just
Photoshop it in later).
If you don’t have a location or
employees, use a high-quality
background with some text &
your logo layered on top.
@problogger
@beauscoffee
Facebook #2 - Have a Great Cover Photo
Facebook #3 - Change Your Cover Photo Often
Change your cover photo every month or so – as new promotions
come & go – and as holidays arrive.

6 ways to leverage the cover photo in ways

on”
3. Direct fans to an offer
4. Provide a link to valuable information
5. Ask your fans to share your Page
6. Send people to your website

Facebook #4 - Complete Your About Section
Your About section speaks volumes about
your business – and it’s the first thing most
visitors will read.
Write something descriptive about your brand
that conveys what you do. Make sure to:
• Provide good information
• Tell people what your company does
• Share why you’re different
• Add other interesting details
Tip: Keep it friendly and informal. A casual tone
usually works best on Facebook.

Ideas to Grow Your Facebook Followers
1. Have Great Content
1. Run Facebook Ads
1. Guest Curate for Other Pages: Choose 5 to 10 successful
Facebook pages run by companies offering services
complementary to yours, since they share your target
audience. Your expertise will offer real value to their fans.
Then offer to curate content for them once a week in return
for credit on their page.
More Ideas to Grow Your Facebook Followers
• Seek Out Promotional Swaps: Search for and list about 30 to 40
Facebook pages for products, services or communities that are
complementary to yours. Send each page a message, explaining a
bit about yourself and your Facebook status (such as page likes
and engagement). Offer to mention their Facebook page to your
fans on a Facebook update if they mention yours in return.
• Conduct Q&A Sessions with an expert: Invite different experts in
your field to answer questions on your Facebook page and rally
users to show up and ask questions in real time. Fans can ask
questions and interviewees can respond inline, making the Q&A
easy to follow. Great to do Facebook Live.
Facebook Ad vs. Google Ads
• Google is great for demand fulfillment: Search -> Buy
• Facebook is great for demand generation: Discovery
• Complex to get it right. Lower conversion rate. Bigger opportunity.
• Google’s lifecycle: SetUp, Test, Fine-tune, Forget
• Facebook’s lifecycle: SetUp, Test, Fine-tune, Repeat… You
constantly need to test different ad designs and audiences to
target
Facebook Pixel
Before Running
Any Ads:
1. Add your Facebook
Pixel to your website
2. Test Using Chrome
Extension Facebook
Pixel Helper
https://www.facebook.com/business/help/952192354843755
https://www.shopify.com/guides/facebook-advertising/pixel
Offer Copy
• Call out your audience (not by
personal attributes)
• Use question to poke at pain
points
• Solution to pain point=your
offer or Call to Action
• Be personable
• No need to yell “FREE”
• Use bullets, asterisks, emojis
Facebook Ads Tip #1
Have a Strong Offer
• Increase sales
• Selling will become easy
How to:
• Make outcomes clear & concise
• Solve a pain/ satisfy a desire
• Use social proof to reassure
they are making a good decision
• Focus on benefits not features
• Good offers are emotional
driven.
Better Ads
• Use smiling people
• Use high contrast & colorful photos
• Use photos that show the benefit of
the product/service, not spammy call-
to-action
• Address an emotion
• Use symbolic images
• No more than 20% text on image
• Use the image to catch their attention
& “sell” them on clicking the ad NOT
convince them to buy. You’ll use your
sales funnel for that.
Don’t make your ads like this: ->
Only a small % of people are
ready to buy from you the first
time they see your ad.
It takes about 8 touches to get
people comfortable enough to
buy
Should we
get
Married?
Are you ready to get married? We
just Met but…..
What are you offering: Types of Traffic Offers
More than likely you will need to run
more than one ad
Custom Audiences from your
website

cebook++remarketing&extra_1=5823d0dc-ab6d-
4f88-a4fc-ee84016fbdb7
Why Test?
● New campaigns 50-75% of ads fail.
● So you need to test multiple ads to
find the winners.
● Helps decrease the cost of lead
● Ideally, you want to allocate a budget
big enough to allow each ad to
receive at least 20 conversions. So,
if you’re testing five pictures and
your cost per conversion is $2, you
want to have a budget of $200
($2*5*20).
● Needed: about 10 000 impressions
to evaluate which ads work and
which don’t. Run ad for at least 72
hours.
What to Test?
● At least 3 different images & ad copy
variations including headlines
● Test different landing page/optin
variations- headlines, images, bullet
points
● Different Ad placement: desktop,
mobile, devices
● Break down ad sets down into age
ranges & genders Image from Adespresso
Facebook Ads Measuring Goals Every Niche is
Different
● General Stat Goals
● Cost per lead less than $8
● Cost per click less than $1
● Click thru- Rate more than 1%
● Relevancy score 5 & above
● Frequency Rate 1-4
