Most of the European schools have similar complaints when it comes to Facebook Ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My Facebook Ads aren’t working!”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Facebook Ads are a waste of money.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried Facebook Ads, but they didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The fact is, if you’re in the B2C market (i.e. selling language courses direct to customers) and you’re\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0using Facebook Ads to increase your course enrolments, then you’re missing out on a\u00a0HUGE\u00a0<\/em>opportunity. \ud83d\udcb8<\/p>\n

So, what is the secret to running profitable, highly-converting ads?<\/p>\n

Let us introduce you to the THREE Ms<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

MESSAGE \ud83d\udc8c<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The headline and ad copy of your ads plays a crucial role in the success of any ad campaign.<\/p>\n

If either of these two doesn\u2019t resonate with your audience, then your cost per click (CPC) will increase dramatically.<\/p>\n

In order to create compelling headlines and ad copy, you need to know your audience.<\/p>\n

What are their pains, wishes and desires?<\/em><\/p>\n

What is important to them and what are they interested in?<\/em><\/p>\n

What is their current situation?<\/em><\/p>\n

What is their desired situation?<\/em><\/p>\n

How can your offer get them to their desired situation?<\/em><\/p>\n

These are questions that all schools MUST<\/strong> have answers.<\/p>\n

And having these answers will allow you to craft an ad that plays to this vital information.<\/p>\n

MEDIA \ud83d\udcf7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Did you know that Facebook has a bias towards certain objects and settings shown in images and videos?<\/p>\n

Most language schools post photos of a background, perhaps a cityscape or even a classroom, and then add a text overlay that states: \u201cBook Now And Save 10%!\u201d.<\/p>\n

The cold hard truth?<\/em>\u00a0\u2744<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s consumers don\u2019t want to be sold things. They want to find products and services themselves.<\/p>\n

Which is why an ad shouldn\u2019t look like an ad. It should look more like a friend\u2019s post.<\/p>\n

Try using pictures of\u00a0real people in real settings<\/strong>. Happy, positive images that aren\u2019t too \u201cphotoshopped\u201d.<\/p>\n

Because at the end of the day, Facebook is a P2P platform and people want to see images of\u00a0other people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And get rid of that text!<\/u>\u00a0\ud83d\udeab<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Just changing this\u00a0one thing<\/strong> can result in a sharp increase in your ad performance and lower your costs.<\/p>\n

MARKET \ud83d\udc65<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just like with determining your message, it is absolutely vital that you know who your customers are in order to target the right audience.<\/p>\n

What are the most popular websites they visit?<\/em><\/p>\n

Where do they get their news sources?<\/em><\/p>\n

Do they read any specific books\/magazines\/blogs?<\/em><\/p>\n

Are there any influencers in this niche?<\/em><\/p>\n

Many people make the mistake of running ads with super-targeted, defined audiences.<\/p>\n

Doing this actually decreases your chances of finding the right people because the Facebook algorithm only delivers your ad to less than 5% of that audience.<\/p>\n

Which means if you have an audience size of 10,000, your ad will be shown to no more than 500 people. \ud83d\udcc9<\/p>\n

Ideally, you want to have audience sizes of\u00a0100K-500K.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And then let Facebook\u2019s algorithm do its job.<\/p>\n
