I missed a huge opportunity my first 2 years of business.  Nobody told me about the Facebook Pixel.  All the work I put into social media and driving traffic to my website for 2 years gave zero benefit when I went to run Facebook ads.  I had to start with a 100% cold audience. I felt so cheated and heartbroken.  We can all agree that a person is more likely to buy from a company they already know about.  So, it's not that you can't get results from ads with a cold audience.  It's that you can get bigger, better results and your ads can cost less. I don't want you to miss out.  Even if you're not ready to run Facebook Ads, you'll want to install the Pixel.  That way, when you're ready for ads, you'll have a nice warm audience.  None of your social media effort would have been wasted. But first, do you know what a Facebook Pixel is?   In this episode I'm going to share what the Facebook Pixel is, how you can benefit from it, how to set one up, plus a sneak peak at 1 advanced topic that will help you significantly drive up results and lower cost. In this episode we explore: Is your phone really listening to you?  Or is it the Pixel? What a Facebook Pixel is and how it works Tips you can use as a consumer (especially if you want the ads to stop) Ways to use the Facebook Pixel to Help Your Business How to Set up your Facebook Pixel How the Pixel can help you get better, cheaper results.

You're running Facebook Ads and getting no Sales.  Your first question is always "Is my Ad Working?" and "What should I change?".  Or you may be in the all or nothing camp.  If you're not getting sales you may decide "Facebook Ads don't work." I get it.  It can be frustrating.  Plus you're losing money. That's why you need to know about ad metrics and how to read them.  Not only will you know if your ad is working, your data will tell you what needs to change.  Even better, some metrics and drilldown features in Meta Ads Manager will help you make your ads more affordable. Today we're going to have some ad metric fun.  Remember, metrics are just neutral numbers.  The numbers don't mean anything about us as a person.  It also doesn't mean anything about our product/service or business.  The number is there to help interpret experiments. Get ready to jot down a few notes.  We're diving into ROI, ROAS, Impressions, Frequency, Click Through Rate, Cost per Click, Cost per Result and Click Through Rate (All).  You'll walk away know what they are, what targets indicate "its working" and how to use the numbers to lower your ad cost, get more sales and profit. Plus,  you'll hear the exciting announcement about the Platform & Profit Summit happening May 1-3rd.  Click the link to get your free ticket! In this episode we explore: What are high level metrics and what do you do with them? - ROI & ROAS The 6 important metrics for an ad Which metric targets mean the ad is "working"?

Facebook Ads are a great way to drive traffic to your website and offers.  But how do you get them to work? It comes down to 4 things.  Just like a puzzle, Facebook Ads only work if all the correct puzzle pieces are present and they are in the right positions. In today's episode you'll learn what the 4 magical components are and how to test to make sure they are correct.  Once all 4 are correct, you're golden! Worried you're going to get lost or overwhelmed?  I've included the strategy for how to do micro tests on one component at a time.  It helps you stay focused, get your results faster and keep your Facebook ad spend small.   If you need an extra boost of energy, mood and clearing of brainfog to get your testing done, I recommend trying Magic Mind's Productivity Shots.  It's amazing how 2 ounces of refreshing green juice per day can benefit you and your business!  Enjoy a discount of up to 56% off your first subscription of Magic Mind's Productivity Shots by using the special link www.magicmind.com/MYFREEDOM.    Plus you can get 20% of your first purchase when you enter the code MYFREEDOM20.

 Facebook Ads are a tempting way to get clients.  But, will they work for you? You already know they'll be an investment of money.  And most likely money is kinda tight because you need clients.  That's why you're considering Facebook Ads in the first place. Before you jump in and pay for ads, it's best to get some education first.  You're in luck!  During the month of April I'm releasing a 5 episode podcast series all about Facebook Ads.  See below for a sneak peak at the upcoming episodes.

If you find yourself thinking "I wish, I wish, I wish…", you might actually be unconsciously blocking yourself from achieving what you want in your life and in your business. Let's get out of the "I wish" way of thinking, and into the "of course" energy. "Of course I will sign that client."  "Of course I will meet that business milestone."  "Of course I will take my vacation to the Bahamas this year." To make this shift, you have to lean into the Law of Attraction which means you believe that a certain thing will happen for you. Think of it like "If you build it, they will come." It's time to believe it will happen, and get ready for it.  In this episode we explore: Manifestation for business success How to lean into the "of course" energy Making space for your dreams, goals, vision Preparing for your manifestations to happen  

Have you ever had something happen in your life or your business and thought to yourself, "Wow! What a lucky coincidence!"? Well, I am here to tell you that I don't believe in coincidences.

Nothing can derail your business faster than a big dip in Self Belief.  It happens to all of us.  It's human nature.  That doesn't mean you have to keep spinning in the dip.  Let's get you out of there...now! There are 5 main ways that I create Self Belief.  These ways have helped me achieve things for which I had zero evidence that I would be successful. We know that entrepreneurship involves a lot of experimentation.  We start from a blank slate.  Everything is new.  There is very little evidence to prove that everything is possible.  That's when Mindset Obstacles sneak in. As you learned in the previous 4 episodes, you can achieve anything with The Clarity Steps.  Part of that is resolving...Mindset Obstacles.
