So Facebook is moving fully to CBO (campaign budget optimization) in September.

Now if you’re an advertiser, you must have known about the inevitable & must be prepared.

If you’re wondering, CBO brings a lot and I wanted to talk about the few tweaks that you can make with CBO.
WHAT IS IT?

Facebook CBO is basically moving budgeting from the ad level to the campaign level.

This allows Facebook to automatically allocate budget to high performing adsets.

Now with this new development, I believe automatic placements are the way to go henceforth.
From my data with CBO since it came out for testing, I figured Facebook is moving optimization to consider audience rather than budget first.

CBO will be compulsory for all advertisers from September and this is the more reason to understand CBO.
BUT HOW DOES THIS IMPACT US...

Well, the bidding system has changed to the campaign level. This is because Facebook wants to automate and make everything simpler.

Now this affects advertisers who has seen success with manual bidding on the adset level.
Facebook says that CBO will:

- Obtain more value for campaigns.
- Spend less time managing campaigns.
- Avoid restarting the learning phase.
- Spend across audiences.

Well you have to keep in mind that Facebook wants to make more money, so you have to navigate for success.
A FEW TIPS TO HAVE IN MIND....

- Force Facebook to test your adsets:

Now with CBO, the algorithm will make a very quick decision as to which adsets to spend more money on.

Facebook already has a lot of power, however this gives them more control.
To make the platform test all your adsets fairly.

Under “Budget & Schedule”, you’ll need to set a maximum spend limit per adset.

This is because the algorithm sometimes acts to fast, making irrational decisions about winning adsets.

NOTE: Keep audiences super broad.
- LLA and Custom Audiences:

Since Facebook is taking the audience focus approach for advertising.

Lookalike audiences and custom audiences are now more important than ever.

They have a higher conversion rate and you need to play more here.
- START WITH A HIGHER BUDGET:

Essentially you’re pushing your adsets to a singular campaign budget.

This brings about how much you should budget for each campaign.

Considering a multitude of factors Facebook advices $100 for a campaign and I recommend you leave it at that.
- OPTIMIZE FOR CONVERSION EVENTS ONLY:

Now a lot of advertisers start off with post engagement ads before moving on to website conversions.

With this new CBO, this strategy is just wasting money as far as I’m concerned.

Engagement ads are not that useful anymore.
These are big changes happening on the advertising space.

Go through the curve and have the algorithm at your finger tips.

See you at the top.

I often get asked… "How can I create ads that will result in sales?"

Paid ads is a risky game for many businesses. You can spend $1000 and get nothing out of it.

ZILCH...

While it’s impossible to know with exact accuracy which ads are going to work before testing, you
shouldn’t start on a blank slate.

Because that will just waste you a lot of 💸

So, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Especially on a tight budget.

There’re things you can do to find out what seems to be working to attract customers.

How?

Spying on your competitors’ ads. 🕵️
Use two different methods to do this.

Method #1: Facebook Ads Library

This is a tool that Facebook made available some time ago.

Yet not many people know about it.

On the Facebook Ads Library, you can simply type the name of a page in the search bar and it will display all

TIPS FOR WRITING PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.

I highly recommend you dedicate your time and write them yourself but you can take inspiration from other store or Amazon as well (only inspiration)

Here are 6 tips that will help you in writing unique and converting product descriptions:
1. Write a customer driven description:

So Let’s say you want to buy a bracelet online, but can’t decide between three options.

If one of them has an excellent product description and If the product description uses words specific to the ideal buyer in this case “you” and
explains how the bracelet might “make your friends ask where you got it”...making you feel confident and special then you will be more attracted towards that one bracelet.

My point is, your descriptions need to be unique and benefit-driven, using the exact wording your

WHY YOUR ONLINE STORE IS NOT ABLE TO SCALE:-

The core fundamentals of any business is to provide as much value to the customer as possible.

I own an e-commerce consulting agency myself and I help others to scale, but anyways.
The biggest mistake i see people make is adding a couple of random supposedly “trending” products from Aliexpress into their store and launch insanely complex ads for them with unrealistic budgets hoping for thousands of sales the next day.

It just doesn't work like that.
If you really want to start making consistent money with your e-commerce business you need to either learn everything on your own.

Marketing, advertising, product sourcing, product research, optimizing your website, finding suppliers, optimizing your budget & everything else

Why Facebook Ads WORK for Local Business

1. It's cost-efficient.

The first place local businesses generally start when advertising online is either Google or Yelp. There is 2 big problems with this. Number one, advertising on Google is going to be very expensive,
often times you will be forced to pay $5 just for 1 person to click and visit your website. Once most businesses realize this, they quickly stop advertising online and conclude that it doesn't work (which couldn't be further from the truth!). And number
2. Yelp is just plain awful. You're literally just throwing money away, you are not able to measure the results & calculate your Return on Investment (ROI), and while you're advertising on Yelp you're not building YOUR brand presence at all.

With Facebook, link clicks can be as
