There are three parts to this
  • Facebook Do's and Donts
  • Audience Growth 
  • Audience Engagement
Facebook Do's and Donts - You need to pay attention to this because if you do the wrong thing you will get your ads account. Facebook will shut your ads account get shut down unless you get this down.

Staying out of Facebook Jail 

Be in compliance. Facebook is a half a trillion dollar company at the time of this post and 1.86 billion Monthly Active Users that represents a third of the world!

This social media platform has changed the world and it is something that you look at when you wake up and perhaps when you go to sleep.

The 3 Reasons That Most People Are on Facebook 

You must know this because everything rides on this and it is important to understand this!

1 Connect 
2 Share 
3 Entertained

Nobody is showing up on Facebook to solve a poblem and or to buy a service.


It's not the reason the message is you have to think of Facebook as a cocktail party. People are checking in to check out.

Facebook is not a infomercial and it is all about the "User Experience" Facebook meets all the human needs.

Facebook will fiercly protect the customer experience ( aka will shut you down in a heartbeat ) 

Understand there is nothing out there that can help you find more targeted niche specific leads... peroid 

HOW TO PISS FACEBOOK OFF  

-Only Create Ads That Drive people off Facebook

Work from home/ Multi-level marketing


Ads for "Get Rich Quick" schemes or other money-making oppourtinities that offer compesation for little or no investment arn't allowed. 

This includes multi-level marketing or similar business models that don't fully descibe the product or oppourtunity leading to advertised income. 

Ads must promote complete transparency regarding participation and the business oppoutunity as these oppoutunities tend to be reported by others.

How to Participate on Facebook as a Business 

1, Educate - You might want to shaere with others... 
2. Inform - Somthing new that is comming up in the industry
3, Invite - Invite them to ucoming events 

Invitation Audience Growth Method..

Audience Growth and also Audience Engagemetn and this works well today.  

Look for a IMAGE the visual stops them and come off on a quote that stands on it own. 

You can create stunning images like this with desktop or moble applications that can draw attention from your audience. 

Consider the first impression of your page and determine what does your brand represent? 

I wanted to shaere a couple of cover images form people in my industry that you can see 

When a person comes to your page you wnat them to be able to know exactly what you do

Here are some examples :






Just from the engagemet of the post you can target a specific nitch There  is a three step process 

Organic reach can be 1 - 20 % of your friends, and let it reach it on your own .

Create the ad and send it to the rest of our fans. This is going to help with the social proff and thoes fans will see that contant. The third step is now you have warmed up the post you can release it into the wild. 

Now this ad as social proof and has likes and shares behind it and now you can send it out to the COLD audience market.

Everyone that is on Facebook has access to a Ad Account and it will drop you into the ad creation screen.

Facebook change all the time. so to put a screenshot up of the back office would be useless as it could change tommow and probably will.

The type of ad we  want is an ENGAGEMENT AD and at this moment you want to go and select POST ENGAGEMTN and name it whatever you want. 

Facebook targeting is what makes it the most important aspect. You can be lazer focused. 

Keep a swipe file of images... some that captures your attention. 

You will have a text box checker so if you have text you may or may not get approved based on that ad 

So you can post the ad that Facebook is going to like based on the ammount of text you put in the image. 

Lets do a re cap on what we need to do to this ad.


1.Post it let it reached who ever its going to reach

2. Then boost the post by targeting people who like your page (will cost you $20 bucks or so) 
spread it out over the next 7 days or so (this will reach the rest of your warm market) 

3. So your ad goes out now to about a 50% percent reach now come over to the ads magager and go reach and here you can select who what where and whn... i.e  who what when where and  my ideal avatar is where who you target comes into play.

Start a wide net and then you can get it smaller audience  later... 

Don't forget to exclude the people of your audience and you can save this audeience 

Placement - DONT LET FACEBOOK CHOOSE FOR YOU - There is different device types  you can uncheck dont lump things together get specific.

You can go back later and go do just instagram later...

And you are simply ready to post your ad...


  • We have chose our campaign objective
  • We have set the critera for who will see it 
  • Where we placed it in Facebook
  • How much we choose to spend 
  • How long the ad will run 

Facebook likes very visual content... then you can educate, inform and invite
When you run ads pay attention to whats happening on the ad... and groom your contents and keep an eye on the conversation...

Facebook has at this time of this  time has close to a billion daily users….

THAT IS A LOT OF EYES THAT COULD BE ON YOU,YOUR PRODUCT OR YOUR BUSINESS!!
Finding the perfect prospect is the the first  priority to growing your business. If you are talking to everyone you are talking to nobody. You need to know who your target market is then you are leaving money on the table! However do not also go out there to find the perfect customer and then make it a pitch fest Go out there with a ‘Who can I help to solve their problem today?’ attitude.

If you are band new I understand wanting to get people in your business like YESTERDAY especially if rent is coming up and your on the verge of getting your power shut off. TRUST ME I know I have been there! ( a few times..along with eviction notices and at one point homeless with a wife & 4 kids. ) 

The lifeblood of your business is relationships so if your spamming people right away you will not go far and if your making small talk and then pitching right away your WASTING YOUR TIME!!!!!

As we all know time is money.

How to prospect on Facebook is the key 

First make a list of what is you...  you  are you a teacher, real estate agent and do you like sports or throwing lawn darts... 

This can be a mental note or an actual pen and paper list. 

I will explain why this will make prospecting easier for you in the next section or video

1. Figure out your target market – This is crucial absolutely crucial or else you will be wasting your time. 

If you are selling makeup would it make sense to primarily talk to men? If you are selling auto parts would it make sense to be talking to restaurant owners? This is the first step to properly prospect.

Figure out who your target market is ….Who is your perfect customer? Are they male or female? What is the age range? What do they do or like etc. etc. Then simply Go Find them hanging out on fan pages and groups.


2. Fan pages and Facebook groups –  Once you have figured out your target market… fan pages and groups are amazing to find prospects. If you are into health don’t just go onto Weight Watchers fan page and start spamming every single person who likes the fan page. This really is gonna come down to who works with you and who you want to work with.

Make sure when you have found a good prospect that you take the time to look over their profile. For two reasons…
One…. You want to find things in common with this person so you have a conversation starter and complimenting them on photos is a really nice touch to show you cared enough to look at their profile.
Two….Because you want to work with serious people make sure they are not negative people or are always blaming the world for their problems.
Take your time to really find someone who is a good fit! Taking a short cut now will cost you in the end and time is money.

Remember to ALWAYS go out there with a ‘Who can I help’ attitude.

ALSO!!!! Always remember that the way people are on Facebook is how they are most likely in REAL LIFE!
Happy Prospecting!

How does one prevent themselves from being a victim from random act of terror.. Here are 5 things you can do to prevent someone from gaining access to your Facebook account... 

I should know it happened to me and has been messing with my Facebook account for more then a week now... 


1. Create A Strong password 

Things like your dog's name your spouse or children or birthdate will not do. You have to make it difficult for others to guess. A good starting point is 6 characters 8 is better 10 is great of course 12 is superman. 

Use letters upper and lowercase with numbers and symbols and that leads into the next one. 

2. Change Your Password Regularly 

I am not talking about yearly this should be done monthly or even weekly. Just put it down on your monthly to do list and get er done. 

3. Don't Friend Everyone Because Everyone Is not Your Friend

That hot chick that wants to be your friend is actually a guy... (bummer right) Be on guard... check out the profile. 

How filled out is it does it have a long timeline other then 5 posts for the entire account thats a red flag 

4. Don't Go Click Click Happy

You can get yourself into trouble especially if you click on things that you are not absolutely sure

That is exactly what happened to me. I got infected with a nasty but that hacked my fb account... wouldn't you know for every 10 people the virus would send the malware out to 1 person opened it and downloaded it... and then the virus finds it's new host and spreads... 

5. Don’t believe all emails

Don’t forget that honest web services will never ask you to do certain things in an email. 

Facebook will NEVER send you an email asking you to change your password or enter personal details. 

If they need you to do that, they will tell you where in your account settings you can go to do that. 

On that note, protect your email account that you registered for Facebook with,  someone could succeed in resetting your Facebook password.

Do you have any suggestions or ways you protect your account? Comment below

If you are looking for the inside scoop for Facebook Live / Mentions you are in the right spot.

There is Facebook Live and Facebook Mentions... it is available only for i phone users right now. It was only given to celebrities and those with a large following. As of now its on mobile devices and its only available on I phone ( for now )

Eventually everyone on every platform will have access to it.

What it is , How to get it, and how to use it...

Make sure you have the latest version of Facebook on your phone if you don't see it close it and re open it. Be patient they are rolling it out to everyone.

Facebook Live is tied to your profile page 
 is available on select I phone users only (Jan 2016)

Facebook Mentions are on Android and I Phone  ( separate app you download ) and is tied to your Fan Page 

How TO Get Facebook Live It will appear as a part of the status update on the menu
To Get Facebook Mentions is a app you download in the App Store


Broadcasting capabilities
Facebook Live - you can basically do the same the broadcast limit is 30 minutes on Live
Facebook Mentions - 1 hr or 2 hr broadcasts

You need to get a verified page first and you have to have a check mark on your name
This can be frustrating because FB does not tell you exactly what the criteria is that they want...

It's a way to grow and engage your fan base

It does not matter what device it is you can still watch em...
You can interact directly with your friends in real time

Keep your video for friends to view later...

It's easy to create constant video content...

You will get a notification from someone who is live by going to their page and following them...

Can you see the power of this in 2016? A lot of people are not using this... possibly the verification is a pain in the butt...you can try this link to see if it works. If not ,then go to Google and type in Request Verified Badge Facebook ( or something like that ). 

If you do a lot of live broadcasting its going to increase your edgerank ( the way Facebook ranks your page ) simple... The more broadcasts you do the more edge-rank that you get


Facebook LIVE Tips 


Tell ALL  your friends ahead of time when you are going to broadcast.... It's going to create a buzz it works in terms of your engagement...


Ask your viewers to subscribe to receive notification when you go LIVE
- Tell your friends to tap the subscribe button on live videos and where to get notifications next time you go live...


Write a compelling description before going LIVE. A great description will capture your friends attention and help them understand what the broadcast is about...

Go Live when you have a strong connection. - Check the app to make sure you have a strong signal before going Live. If your signal is weak the ' Go Live ' button will be grayed out. Try to find a location where you are on wi-fi or have a 4G connection

Say hello to your friends by name and respond to their comments LIVE - Your friends will be thrilled to hear you mention their name and answer their questions when you are live


Its All Recorded so you can respond back to people that leave comments and engage with them...

Do a lot of live broadcast and do questions and answers... it will help you engagement and so people will see your posts

DO NOT SELL ON THE BROADCASTS - Give away value... Don't pitch and build your brand and make it about you then your business and sharing stories and experiences (SHARE YOUR STORY) ... at the end mention the resource and go to this website... It's not about selling it's about building relationships and creating a friend. 


If you loose connection while LIVE find a place with a better signal - If you loose connection while live don't panic! Go to a  place with a better signal and your app will automatically try to re-connect, your existing broadcast will still be saved to your Page. Think about weather you want to delete it before starting a new broadcast.

Broadcast for longer periods to reach more friends - The longer you broadcast the more likely your friends are to discover and share your video with their friends on FB. I recommend that you go for at least 5 minutes. The maximum you can broadcast is 30 minutes on FB LIVE. On Mentions I have heard of 2 hour broadcasts.

Finally, be creative and go LIVE often! - Try different types of broadcasts and go live frequently - to keep viewers engaged

Remember when you finish that this is a Facebook post that you can share to social media you can download the video and you can put that on your YouTube channel and then use it as content as well as sharing it to your blog. 

Understand Facebook is a changing everyday and what was around a couple of months ago might not be around now...

Eventually you might see a desktop version as well ( like a Google hangout ) 

After the broadcast is over you can edit the comment area and put the link (in the top section) 

If your in business keep your fan page PUBLIC at all times... that way people can comment even those who are not your "friends" 

You don't have to edit just go to your Facebook profile and just talk...

Just for everyone here is another cool streaming app called 
BLAB.IM this is a streaming app that you can have 4 people on 
and it is connected to Twitter and there is a desktop and mobile right now it is available with i phone

Hope this helped feel free to leave a comment below and be sure to LIKE and FOLLOW...

Using Facebook Video Marketing with Youtube and Facebook is a great way to market... Understand methods come and go so what works today especially when it comes to Facebook

I am not going to go deep into it but I am going to give some nugget that you can use in your business and some resources!

You must understand Traffic ( I talked about this in a previous post )
It's about getting eyeballs to your website

The more people that does that out goal is to get people to our website. Not all traffic is equal... Visitor intent is always important as to the quality...

Go to Google and type in "Order Chinese Food" and how to basket-weave came up what would you think of the magical power of Google you would be what the heck is this... So there is targeted traffic and regular traffic.

Put the targeted offer in front of what the visitor wants.

WHY VIDEO ??

It builds rapport and trust like no other strategy online...I can build a relationship with someone who is on the other side of the world.

Creating videos it like creating little soldiers that work for you 24/7 for years to come

It literally you as a leader form the beginning...

Video is a platform and a way to present your message... People get freaked out when the video comes on you got to act like a fake person to sell... Video is a way for people to give a little window into your life. Why is reality tv shows watched so much because people love to watch people...

Creates a mini celebrity status between you and your prospect.

YOU TUBE IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO SITE

Youtube = Great Site with tons of traffic
Wide open at this point
Many Marketers have moved away from it

Remember this >>>> When the heard is zigging you want to zag <<<<<

Sure there is a risk but it can bring it a ton of leads...

Don't ever go on the internet and spend traffic on nitches...

The Youtube training that was taught 2 years ago still works today!

Facebook Video = Incredible for building a audience and promotion and building an audiences and it's almost as good as building a list

Why Youtube? 
Create Videos that provide a solution to their problem. This is the essence of entrepreneurship. Keyword rich videos show up in Google It's a second method next to Google in Search. How do I ???
Tons of people go to get the answers
#2 search engine in the world...

When you come to Youtube they (the world ) go to the search bar first
It all starts with keywords ( use the free keyword tool )
It is still a great place to get leads!

3 things that are important

Your Title
Your description
Your Keyword with good description

ALWAYS HAVE A CALL TO ACTION... tell them what the next step at the end of the video.

Why Facebook? 

Why do I love facebook video?
Awesome way to engage your audience
Its stands out from the normal text updates
The organic reach of videos is much higher

Upload the video directly to Facebook

There is a keyword tool Video Keywords and to find out the searches and see what people are searching for.This is all I use not to say the free keyword planner
This will show you the competition for the keywords in what videos you could rank in Google and you have potential traffic that can to build your list!

All you need to do is use a keyword on this tool and you can rank on google...
It shows a the number of people searching the number and then how many videos that are used for the

Recommend this strategy with a page but if you are sharing quotes and inspirational on your personal profile you do not want to sound too pitchy

Build up your page and promote your videos... videos still get organic reach...better then regular posts!

Hope you got a better understanding of Facebook Video Marketing I truely believe that this one two punch when it comes to marketing with video is the way to go.

There is a flat out awesome video formula its a video script formula that I have been using and it flat out works! The best part it is only 7 bucks ! Click here to get your hands on it!
