How To Collect 1,000 Emails in 72 Hours with Less than a $100 in Facebook Advertising By Joe Soto Huge market reach over 44k Lots of engagement (1,702 reactions likes, shares, comments) $95 total $ spent And more importantly over 1,300 emails collected! (Note the other campaign done the previous month, also 1k new emails collected)
Here are the steps to follow so you can achieve the same results: Step 1: Create a MEGA Giveaway.! This is the most important step. Brainstorm, write down 25 ideas and then poll some of your customers and ask them what would they find really valuable. The offer should be something your audience finds tremendously valuable so valuable they d instantly give you their email AND tell (by tagging and sharing with) all their friends on FB about it. In the training, referencing a restaurant, they perceive several types of giveaways as valuable particularly when it comes to winning free food. Giveaway s such as a $50-100 gift card to the restaurant, Free Brunch for a Year, Free Burgers for a Year, Win a Patio Party for 20 Friends, + Gift Card, etc. - are all relevant to the restaurant s audience. Everyone s willing to give up their email address to gain an entry in to win. And they love telling others about it which gives you organic, viral spread of your promotion, your page, and your business. It doesn t matter what type of local business you are helping, you can give away the following: o Organic Dog Food Store: Free dog food for a year o Salon Free spa day, free haircuts for a year o Travel agency: Giveaway a free 3 Day vacation o Fitness Club: 1 Year Free Membership! Consultants, for example, might give away a really valuable short video or video course something more than just an ebook or a cheat sheet or free template. Those will get you a few new emails added to your list. Something massively valuable will build your list so fast your head will spin. Step 2: Design your Facebook Post in Canva.com it s free and it sizes your posts for you.! Check your image to make sure it meets the text vs. image standards with Facebook s image overlay tool to see if you will get the green light to run your ad with maximum reach. https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay Step 3: Sign up for Woobox.com ($30/mo) a Facebook approved application platform to set up a sweepstakes for Facebook. You can do so much with Woobox to build your list, to promote your business all on Facebook. Get to know it, it s Facebook-friendly.
Step 4: Click on the Create an Offer button in Woobox and choose the Sweepstakes option and go through the wizard template REALLY SIMPLE and FAST. HERE is how easy it is to create your campaign landing page on Woobox: This is the template it has you fill out once you selected create offer/ sweepstakes.

It will then set the image block up on top and give you option to upload an image so it shows up like a header on a landing page and will look like this: How do you design the header? In your Canva account (www.canva.com) - it s free. Click Save. Don t worry about the other tabs for Woobox ( post entry and ended ) woobox has pretemplated text which doesn't have to be customized. TO PUBLISH AND MAKE IT BECOME A LIVE LINK : Click on Overview on the left side, and then it will bring up an overview screen where you have to click Publish (green button on the right side) for the landing page to be active.

Step 5: Come up with the text copy that will go on top of the image in the Facebook post. People will do what you tell them to do if the offer is compelling enough. Here are some examples from two real promotions: Step 6: Complete the post with image and text, so it s now live. Step 7: Boost it in Ad Manager.! Create Your Facebook Ad Campaign - Assuming you know your target audience (you have your customer Avatar), create an ad in ad manager and choose boost a post. If you boost from the front feed of your Facebook page do you do not have as many targeting options.! If you go to www.facebook.com/ads and create ad and choose the boost a post option, you ll be able to set up a more targeted audience. I recommend taking a Facebook advertising course to get really good at this part. But it s not rocket science, you can test with small $. Run the campaign for at least 2-3 days and put what you can afford on it, but usually you ll never need very much to start. $35 a day for 3 days is what we do to get 1000+ opt-ins. Sometimes we get that many emails collected it in 2 days. Step 8: Rinse and repeat with new fresh offers.
