The capacity to learn is a gift …The ability to learn is a skill … The willingness to learn is a choice.
Facebook does not like posts asking for Shares, Comments, and Likes. They do not want you to ask a question when doing your "Likes Campaign". They prefer statements and never to call people out with a question (try to avoid it).
Try to avoid using a credit card previously connected to a disabled ad account.
For new ad accounts, don’t create too many ads in your first campaign. Start with a low number of split test variations and slowly increase the number of ads you create.
Drastically changing your advertising habits from a couple ads per week to hundreds per day can be flagged by Facebook.
Make sure the name and billing zip code on your credit card matches the name and billing/company info you provided to Facebook.
Keep your credit card valid with available credit.
The “Best Practice” for earning trust as a business on Facebook is with gradual advertising activity.
Follow these steps for advertising safely and successfully on
• 2 weeks: Pre-Advertising Stage – Posting 3 times Per Day
• 2 weeks: Engagement Campaign – Likes or Existing Post
• 2 weeks: Messages Campaign
• 2 weeks: Lead Generation Ad – YOU ARE HERE
• Conversion Ad – We suggest that only after this 8 week (2 month) period and gradual advertising activity, then test a Conversion Ad.
Note: Before submitting an ad to Facebook for approval, always make sure to refer to the list of words to avoid – it is updated frequently. To comply with Facebook policies and to reduce the risk of disapprovals, make sure that all text and videos do not contain these words. Even spoken videos are screened for flagged words, so do not say any of the words in a video. Find the list in the Training Site Tab – Facebook Advertising > Staying Safe While Advertising on Facebook.
NOTE: Now is a good time to add your story biography to the About Section on your page. You can also add your landing page link to the About Section. When you run a Lead Generation ad, people may look up your page, and it will be advantageous for them to know a little bit about you, and see that you have a webpage.
This shows Facebook that the platform users are now comfortable enough with your page to share some private information including their name and email address.
Privacy Policy can be found on your landing page. Scroll down and click on the “Privacy Policy & Disclaimer”.
Call-to-action button:
This function on your Facebook page is used as a way for people to organically take a desired action once they are on your business page. The option you decide to use will depend on your stage in business and or your comfort level interacting with potential leads/buyers.
We do not recommend adding a button to your page before 8 weeks of consistent page and advertising activity, as laid out in the training prior to this tab.
Auto responder:
This is an optional feature that we can use to ensure we are engaging potential leads immediately when they contact us through messenger. This is important not only to build an initial connection with potential leads, but also Facebook tracks the response time of businesses and displays a response rating on your business page.
Do Not put your website link in your auto response, doing so may cause your business page to be flagged by Facebook.
Congratulations! You’re ready for the next step – Conversion Ads. This type of ad will direct your potential leads directly to your landing page to sign up for the webinar and be registered in your funnel.
This is a good time to create a backup business manager.
Facebook requires advertisers to verify ownership of their website. This is called Domain Verification and it is done by adding a Meta-Tag Code to the DNS settings on your website.
NOTE: ALWAYS be sure to select the correct business manager you want to be working in.
If you are not particularly tech savvy or are uncertain in your skill level please verify the steps with your mentor prior to proceeding. If you make a mistake while in your DNS settings it could potentially cause a disconnect of your domain from your funnel, and you would then need to work with GoDaddy to correct the error.
NOTE: If you do not see the green verification button at the bottom of the page, please resize your page.
NOTE: Chrome browser works best for this business. Download Here

Facebook has partnered with Google to provide an invaluable tool: The Facebook Pixel Helper.
This is an extension to add to the Chrome browser. It will allow you to test that your pixel is actually firing. Watch the following video to learn how to install and use this valuable tool.
The Pixel is always placed on the Thank You page, NOT your Landing page (first page). The Thank You page is the page that people are taken to after they register on your Landing page.
To check the pixel, either type in the URL of your Thank You page, or register on your Landing page.
*** COPY & PASTE THE URL OF YOUR THANK YOU PAGE INTO A NOTE SOMEWHERE SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE PAGE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IF NEED BE ***
NOTE: Make sure your ad account and your pixel code on your Thank You page matches. Follow the instructions below.

If you encounter ad disapproval, go back to the Engagement Campaigns to increase the page activity and platform trust, and continue to grow from there.
It’s a good idea to read and understand Facebook Advertising Policies before advertising: https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/

Step 1 – Create a post on your business page that you would like to turn into an ad.
Step 2 – Watch video.
Here is a tutorial on how to do a Message Ad. It can be used as an alternative to an Engagement Ad as it does not take someone off the Facebook platform. This can also be used to warm up a new ad account or to keep an alternate ad account active as it does not need to be done on the ad account with a pixel.
Note: You don’t need a pixel to run a Message Ad
NOTE: Dropping a link in a Flock chat with an unrelated purpose is grounds for immediate removal from that chat.
Copy and paste your Facebook ad/post URL in the following Flock channels:
Flock Channel to get Ad/Post Seasoning:
• Seasoning Ad
• Post Engagements
From 1 to 10 images/videos
From 1 to 5 primary texts
From 1 to 5 headlines
From 1 to 5 descriptions (sub-headlines)
From 1 to 5 Call-To-Action buttons
As the ad gets reach, Facebook tallies the results of each tested component, in Ads Manager. After running the ad long enough, the results will highlight which components are most successful with your selected audience.
Choose each of the parts that had the best results, and make a new ad with the most successful headline, most successful image, etc.
