The Pubcast with Jon Loomer

Facebook has a buried feature that allows you to Optimize Text Per Person. It's not the Multiple Text Options or Dynamic Creative. This is different. Here's what it is and how it can be used...

All placements are different. Requirements are different. Performance and costs are different. Should you use automatic placements (which Facebook recommends), or manual placements? And if you use manual placements, which ones? Let's explore...

If you've received a warning from Facebook that one or more of your ad accounts is in violation of Item 5 of "Things You Should Know" in Facebook advertising policies, you're not alone. Here's what that means and what you should do about it.

There are nine things that I do that, by themselves, may not move the needle. But, together, they make for a comprehensive strategy to help drive growth of my podcast. I walk through those steps here...

Auction Overlap can lead to poorly performing ads. Here, explain why, how you can detect Auction Overlap, and what you should do about it.

Not to be confused with Targeting Expansion, Lookalike Expansion could also take some guesswork out of Lookalike Audience creation -- assuming it works as Facebook says. Listen for details on how it works, how you might use it, and how it's different from Targeting Expansion.

How Targeting Expansion works is mostly misunderstood by advertisers. In theory, Targeting Expansion should only work as a benefit. Here's an explanation of why, along with some problems.

Do you turn Campaign Budget Optimization on when you advertise on Facebook? Here's what you need to know about how it works and some things to consider.

As we know, the pixel will become less and less effective due to iOS 14 and browser restrictions. It doesn't mean you should stop sending people to your website -- that's crazy! -- but you should be taking advantage of the audiences that aren't impacted.

A bit of a diversion from your typical Facebook ads or business tip, here's my Christmas message to you...

If you are a proud member of the Hustle Culture, this message is not for you. Otherwise, this is my story, how it impacted my outlook on Hustle Culture, and how you can start constructing your ideal lifestyle.

Now, more than ever before, you should include Facebook lead ads as part of your strategy. Here's why...

Do you use URL parameters with the links you promote in your Facebook ads? You should! They can help uncover conversions that Ads Manager can't, which may completely change your impression of the ad.

It's important that you pick a client who sets you up for success. A client who puts you into a position to succeed before you start. And a client who will trust you to do your job. The wrong client can set you up for failure.

As an advertiser, it's important to understand what's in and outside of your control. Don't be distracted by the things you can't do anything about. Focus only on those things that you impact. 

Ads get rejected, sometimes by mistake. But it's important that you know and follow the rules. Some are obvious and some aren't. Don't try to bend or get around the rules. Nothing is worse than disruption to your business or a client's business, whether it be a rejected ad or -- the worst-case scenario -- a banned account.

Possibly the most important advice I could give an inexperienced advertiser is to experiment often. Here's why...

When you run a conversions campaign, you could have Facebook show your ads to people most likely to convert. Or, you could should your ad to people most likely to lead to maximum purchase value and the highest Return on Ad Spend. Here's how...

You may have heard about my experiment, a challenge to reach all -- or as many -- my followers with an ad as I could. This is the latest on how that's unfolding.

If your audience is high-volume iOS, you should be very careful about the reporting window you use. Here's why...

Have you ever struggled with lead quality when running Facebook Lead Ads? You can change that by optimizing for Conversion Leads. That way, Facebook will show your ads to people most likely to convert into a sale AFTER the lead. Listen for details!

The Conversions API, used with the Facebook pixel, can provide a fuller picture of conversions. Here's my quick explanation of what the Conversions API is, how it helps, and why you need it.

I've learned the importance of goal-setting and planning, and I'm going big for 2022. Here's a collection of my goals for the upcoming year, and how I plan to accomplish them.
