Budgets and Schedules
Launch campaigns early in the morning.
Set a daily budget or a lifetime budget.
Facebook will dynamically change the budget depending on the size of the audience.
Facebook will prompt if the budget is too high for the account.
Let the algorithm dynamically spend the money whenever it sees opportunity.
Audience Section
Make the audience as broad as possible, according to Facebook.
Target audience based on age, gender, and location.
For high ticket products, narrow down the audience based on income and interests.
Use lookalike audiences to target people who are similar to existing customers.
Exclude people who have already purchased the product.

Create an "and" statement to further refine the audience based on additional criteria.
Using Look-Alike Audiences
Look-alike audiences are a more advanced strategy that requires customer data.
As you get more sales, you can create look-alike audiences to scale your ads.
The course "Hyper Growth Ads" has dedicated videos on how to scale with look-alike audiences.

Include three to five interests to refine the audience.
Exclude existing customers from the audience to bring in a net new audience.

Monitoring Audience Size
As additional interests are added, the audience size will increase.
Monitor the audience size to ensure it is not too large or too small.
Refine the audience further by creating an "and" statement to include additional criteria.
A smaller audience may result in a higher cost to reach them.
A larger audience may result in spending too much money before getting conversions.
Targeting by Household Income
Targeting based on zip codes or cities where people tend to make more money.
Use household income targeting, with options for top 5%, top 10%, and top 25%.
Targeting by household income can reduce audience size significantly.
Aim for an audience size of 3-5 million in the US market.
Consider adding other luxury goods brands to the targeting.
Placements
Facebook will default to Advantage Plus placements, but manual placements are recommended.
Uncheck apps and sites, as these are often irrelevant and can lead to a poor user experience.
Facebook and Instagram feed are the most important placements, with 80%+ of delivery.
Consider removing Facebook right-hand column placement, as it can make ads look small and noisy.
Customize ads for different placements to optimize performance.
Optimization and Delivery
Optimize for conversions, but many startups may not know what they're willing to pay for a conversion.
Consider optimizing for link clicks or landing page views instead.
Set a daily budget and bid strategy based on your goals and budget.
Consider using automatic bidding to optimize performance and reduce costs.
Monitor performance regularly and adjust targeting and placements as needed.
Ad Creative
Use high-quality images or videos that showcase the product or brand.
Include a clear call-to-action and value proposition in the ad copy.
Consider using dynamic ads to show personalized content to different audiences.
Test different ad formats and creative to optimize performance.
Use retargeting to show ads to people who have already shown interest in the product or brand.

Domain verification is the process of proving that the website you're sending people to buy from you own.
You need to do domain verification when you set up your new ad account.
You can watch a video of how to do this for Shopify or look up a video of how to do Facebook domain verification depending on your Ecom platform.
Your domain that you own is going to show up here and therefore it's going to let you select and associate your pixel with that in your tracking events.
If your domain is not showing up here, you've done something wrong and you need to pause and figure that out first.
Offline Events
Offline events is one of the advanced things that you can learn in the course hyper growth ads.
You can sync your CRM system and sales system so that you can then connect back that offline information and Facebook can tell if that person was actually exposed to one of your ads and give credit to your campaign.
This is relevant for people that are selling online and offline.
You still want to be able to know the effectiveness of your Facebook ads even if someone decides to buy offline.
It becomes super relevant for you when you make enough money and open up a store.
Preview of Your Ad
You can now see a preview on the right-hand side of your ad.
You can see the way that your ad is going to look in the different placements within the meta ecosystem.
