Q & A

  • Why does the speaker prefer YouTube ads over other platforms?

    -The speaker prefers YouTube ads because the audience on YouTube is usually of high quality, and there are fewer advertisers, which theoretically leads to lower costs. Additionally, not everyone is aware of YouTube as an advertising option, making it a potentially untapped opportunity for media buyers.

  • What are the two scenarios in which the speaker suggests using YouTube ads?

    -The first scenario is when a company that has been running Facebook ads wants to expand and YouTube is presented as an alternative. The second scenario is when a media buyer is specifically hired to run YouTube ads, as some companies find more success on YouTube than on Facebook.

  • Why is it important to do competitor ad research even when focusing on YouTube ads?

    -Competitor ad research is important because successful ads on Facebook can also work well on YouTube, especially for video ads running on reels and stories. Since there is no YouTube ads library, the Facebook ad library is recommended for research.

  • How does the speaker describe the process of setting up a YouTube ads campaign?

    -The speaker describes a simple process for setting up YouTube ads, which involves structuring campaigns with three different audiences but the same ads. The key difference lies in the audience targeting, and it's also important to have a variety of creatives for testing.

  • What is the significance of having a Google tracking code for YouTube ads?

    -The Google tracking code is essential for tracking conversions, such as purchases or lead submissions, which are crucial for measuring the success of ad campaigns and optimizing them for better performance.

  • How does the process of setting up conversion actions for e-commerce differ from lead generation in the speaker's explanation?

    -For e-commerce, the speaker suggests setting up three conversion actions: purchase, initiate checkout, and add to cart. For lead generation, only one conversion action is needed, which is the submission of a lead form.

  • What is the recommended approach for managing YouTube ads campaigns after they are live?

    -The speaker recommends giving the campaigns three days to run without interference. After this period, any campaign with a cost per conversion above the target is turned off. The best-performing campaign is then duplicated with changes such as new ads, different geographical locations, or altered daily budgets.

  • Why is it suggested to duplicate the best-performing campaign and make changes to it?

    -Duplicating the best-performing campaign and making changes helps to further optimize the ad performance by testing new variables such as different ads, geographical locations, or budgets, which can potentially improve conversion rates.

  • What is the significance of reaching 100 conversions in the context of scaling YouTube ads campaigns?

    -Reaching 100 conversions is a milestone that indicates the campaign has gathered enough data for the algorithm to learn and optimize effectively. At this point, a new Target CPA campaign is created to further refine the ad spend and conversion rates.

  • How does the approach to scaling change after achieving 200 conversions according to the speaker?

    -After 200 conversions, the speaker suggests creating a new Target CPA campaign but removing all audience targeting, allowing Google to go broad. This is based on the assumption that the algorithm now has sufficient data to effectively find the right audience without specific targeting.

  • What is the main difference in setting up campaigns for e-commerce versus lead generation in the YouTube ads platform?

    -The main difference is in the initial campaign goal selection and the conversion actions set up. For e-commerce, the goal is set to sales and the conversion actions include purchase, initiate checkout, and add to cart. For lead generation, the goal is set to leads, and the conversion action is the submission of a lead form.

The script outlines two scenarios for using YouTube ads: as an expansion strategy for companies already using Facebook ads, and as a primary advertising focus for companies recognizing YouTube's profitability. The speaker emphasizes the importance of pre-work similar to Facebook ads, such as competitor research, but notes the absence of a YouTube Ads Library and recommends using the Facebook Ad Library instead.

20:05

๐Ÿ“ˆ Managing and Scaling YouTube Ad Campaigns

The speaker provides a strategy for managing YouTube ad campaigns, starting with allowing newly launched campaigns to run for three days without interference. After this period, they recommend turning off any campaign with a cost per conversion above the target. The script highlights the common scenario where one campaign outperforms others and suggests duplicating the successful campaign while making changes to aspects like ads, geographical location, or daily budget. The process of duplicating campaigns is explained, and the importance of reaching at least 100 conversions across all campaigns before moving to Target CPA campaigns is emphasized.

25:08

๐Ÿ”ง Advanced Campaign Management with Target CPA

The script delves into advanced campaign management techniques, explaining how to transition to Target CPA campaigns after achieving 100 conversions. It advises setting an initial Target CPA higher than the desired outcome to ensure Google's algorithm has flexibility in optimizing the campaign. The process of creating new Target CPA campaigns without specific audiences after 200 conversions is described, with the aim of leveraging Google's broader targeting capabilities. The speaker stresses the importance of continuous optimization and scaling to maximize revenue and return on ad spend, concluding with the reminder that similar strategies apply to e-commerce campaigns.

Transcripts

play00:00

all right so YouTube ads Guys YouTube

play00:02

ads is currently my favorite advertising

play00:04

placement um because the people like the

play00:08

audiences of people who use YouTube are

play00:11

usually very high

play00:13

quality and there aren't as many

play00:17

advertisers on YouTube there aren't as

play00:18

many companies running ads on YouTube so

play00:20

the cost theoretically should be lower

play00:23

like you know everyone everyone runs ads

play00:25

on Facebook Facebook ads like everyone

play00:27

knows you got to run Facebook ads but

play00:29

not everyone knows that YouTube ads are

play00:32

also an option um that can generate High

play00:36

conversions so this can be a big

play00:38

opportunity for for you as a media buyer

play00:40

to to present to your potential employer

play00:43

so you're going to use YouTube ads in

play00:45

one of two

play00:47

scenarios the first one is the company

play00:50

that you get hired by has been running

play00:52

Facebook ads for a while and they want

play00:54

to expand and you present YouTube as an

play00:57

alternative as as a possibility for

play00:59

expand mantion uh so that they don't

play01:01

rely solely on one source of

play01:04

traffic and then the second scenario is

play01:06

you are hired specifically to run

play01:09

YouTube ads as a media buyer which is is

play01:11

becoming more and more common because

play01:12

YouTube ads there are companies that can

play01:13

make more on YouTube than on Facebook um

play01:16

and there are a lot of companies that

play01:17

are starting to to look for specifically

play01:19

media buyers to run YouTube ads um for

play01:23

them now regardless of which one you're

play01:26

going to be

play01:28

um the way you're going to run YouTube

play01:30

ads is the same so let's get let's get

play01:33

into the into the YouTube ads account so

play01:37

I mean the Google ads account because as

play01:39

you know YouTube is a product of Google

play01:43

YouTube is a part of Google so the

play01:45

YouTube ads platform is a part of the

play01:47

Google ads platform it's essentially

play01:49

it's Google ads that you're running with

play01:50

the placement on

play01:51

YouTube um now before you start setting

play01:56

up YouTube

play01:57

ads just like with every single

play02:00

advertising campaign we set up you're

play02:02

going to have to go through the same

play02:05

pre-work that I taught you to do with

play02:08

Facebook ads both for e-commerce and for

play02:11

lead generation so the same thing that I

play02:13

taught you to do in the first class on

play02:14

Facebook ads you got to go back and do

play02:16

that same thing for YouTube if you

play02:17

haven't done it yet for Facebook same

play02:20

exact pre-work um except for the fact

play02:23

that you can't really spy on your

play02:25

competitor's ads on YouTube there isn't

play02:28

an ad Library a you YouTube ads Library

play02:30

just like there is a Facebook ads

play02:32

Library um there are some ad spy tools

play02:36

that do exist that are paid uh but I

play02:39

don't recommend any of them because so

play02:40

far I haven't found any that are truly

play02:42

good so if you're just running YouTube

play02:46

ads and not Facebook ads I still highly

play02:49

recommend that you do the competitor ad

play02:51

research in the Facebook ad library

play02:54

because a lot of the ads that work on

play02:56

Facebook will also work on YouTube

play02:57

because right at this point most people

play02:59

running video ads on Facebook uh

play03:01

especially the the ones that are running

play03:03

on reals and stories can be really

play03:05

really good ads for YouTube shorts um so

play03:08

keep that in mind still do your your ad

play03:11

research even if you're just running

play03:12

YouTube ads uh just use the Facebook ad

play03:16

Library so now assuming that the

play03:20

pre-work is

play03:21

done let's let's get into the strategy

play03:24

so the way I run YouTube ads is

play03:27

extremely simple just like with

play03:28

everything I do with ads I keep it as

play03:30

simple as possible there are a million

play03:32

different ways for you to complicate

play03:33

things and to run things there as you

play03:35

can see here there there are a million

play03:36

different buttons a million different

play03:38

possibilities I keep it as simple as

play03:40

possible because that's usually what

play03:41

gets the best results is to keep it

play03:43

simple

play03:44

stupid um and definitely the way I run

play03:47

YouTube ads is most likely even simpler

play03:49

than Facebook and you'll tell

play03:52

me so regardless of whether you're

play03:54

promoting lead generation or e-commerce

play03:57

the way we're going to structure um our

play03:59

initial campaigns is the same and we're

play04:03

going to have three campaigns each with

play04:07

the same exact ads but each with a

play04:09

different audience so you're going to

play04:11

have campaign one audience One ads one 2

play04:14

and three campaign two audience two adds

play04:17

one two and three and then campaign 3

play04:19

audience three adds one two and three so

play04:22

the only thing that's changing here is

play04:25

the audience um

play04:30

and the thing with YouTube you also need

play04:32

quantity of creatives so you need to

play04:34

come up with a lot of creatives but not

play04:35

as many as Facebook with YouTube you

play04:38

know once you find a the creative

play04:41

testing is different um there is

play04:44

no you know written down explanation in

play04:48

a manual as to why this happens it just

play04:49

has to do with the algorithm that's very

play04:51

different from the algorithm on Facebook

play04:52

I don't really need to test as many

play04:54

YouTube ads as I test Facebook ads

play04:58

um but you still need to test some ads

play05:00

and you need to keep testing them and

play05:01

I'll tell you exactly how to do

play05:03

that now how do we actually set this all

play05:06

up so before we set up the campaigns the

play05:09

actual campaigns just like with Facebook

play05:11

uh we have to make sure that tracking

play05:12

pixel is installed like the Google

play05:14

tracking code um and the way we do that

play05:17

for YouTube is the following go here to

play05:19

goals then conversions then

play05:24

summary then here we're going to be

play05:26

creating if we're doing e-commerce we're

play05:28

going to be creating three events one is

play05:31

purchase the other one is initiate

play05:32

checkout and the other one is at the

play05:34

cart and then if we're doing lead

play05:36

generation we're going we're just going

play05:37

to create one event which is um leads so

play05:41

for e-commerce we're going into here new

play05:44

conversion um we type in

play05:48

website let's say we using motion.com

play05:51

for example which really isn't

play05:55

e-commerce but it doesn't really matter

play05:57

this is this is really irrelevant Google

play05:59

is not is just making sure you have a

play06:01

website uh but this is not going to be

play06:03

um it's not going to be used for

play06:06

anything so you can just put in any

play06:07

website you want when you're doing the

play06:09

practice uh session which this would be

play06:12

the case so you're going to come into

play06:13

here add a conversion action

play06:15

manually then for purchase you select

play06:19

purchase uh

play06:24

purchase then you select you type in

play06:28

whatever you want to you want to type in

play06:29

then value you say don't use a value for

play06:33

this converion action um because you're

play06:36

going to have different products with

play06:37

e-commerce uh and there's no point in

play06:38

creating multiple multiple purchases

play06:40

events for multiple purchase events for

play06:42

multiple different products because it's

play06:43

just going to mess up the algorithm

play06:45

count every purchase because you just

play06:47

want to count every purchase then here

play06:49

you select 90 days here you select 30

play06:53

days and here you select 30 days here

play06:57

you select data driven and this you

play06:59

leave it on then you do

play07:02

done save and

play07:06

continue and done then the thing that

play07:09

you have to do once this is creative as

play07:11

you see here it's inactive once this is

play07:13

creative you have to come into here um

play07:16

and you have to go into the tag setup

play07:19

install the tag yourself and then you

play07:21

have to follow the instructions that are

play07:22

in here obviously your website's going

play07:24

to be hosted in a million different

play07:26

platforms so I can't just tell you you

play07:28

know how to do it for Shopify or how how

play07:29

to do it for for you know clickfunnels

play07:32

whatever you're using um the setup is

play07:35

going to be similar uh you just have to

play07:36

paste this on in the header of every

play07:38

page of the website which usually just

play07:40

means you have to put it in one place um

play07:43

and in here you have to put this also in

play07:45

the header but only in the header of the

play07:49

order confirmation page so whenever

play07:51

someone purchases a product they're

play07:52

redirected to an order confirmation this

play07:55

code has to be in that order

play07:56

confirmation page and then once that's

play07:59

done everything is installed now what

play08:01

you're going to do is you're going to do

play08:02

the exact same thing but you're going to

play08:05

do it

play08:09

for you're going to do it um

play08:13

for at the cart and for initiate

play08:16

checkout so here you select that the

play08:18

cart name it every every other setup is

play08:21

the exact same and then you you know you

play08:23

you set it up and then the same exact

play08:25

thing for um initiate checkout which is

play08:27

begin checkout

play08:30

and then same thing same exact setup uh

play08:32

in here instead of

play08:34

counting every you're going to count

play08:36

just one initiate checkout and the same

play08:38

thing with add the card you're just

play08:39

going to add you're just going to count

play08:41

one at the card instead of every so

play08:43

every is for purchase one is for at the

play08:45

cart and initiate check out and then you

play08:47

set them both up same exact um settings

play08:51

in

play08:52

here then once it's set up you're going

play08:56

to go back into this is going to it's

play08:59

going going to the at to cart is going

play09:00

to show up in here and then you open it

play09:02

and the setup is going to be the exact

play09:03

same the difference is on the at to cart

play09:05

you're going to paste this code so this

play09:08

code is the same it's already you

play09:10

already installed it in the previous

play09:11

step once you create the at to cart code

play09:14

and code and the initiate checkout code

play09:16

the only thing you need to do is get

play09:17

this specific code so this one let's say

play09:19

it's the add to cart you have to put

play09:21

this on the card page so whenever

play09:23

someone visits the cart page and the

play09:25

card is not emptied this code should be

play09:28

there and then the initiate checkout is

play09:31

on the initiate checkout page when they

play09:33

start submitting uh their information um

play09:36

so same code purchase code is on the

play09:40

order confirmation page initi initiate

play09:43

checkout code is in the initiate

play09:44

checkout page and the at to cart code is

play09:46

in the at to cart page and that's it

play09:48

once all those codes are there

play09:49

everything is ready for you to start

play09:51

creating campaigns now let me delete

play09:53

this actually we can just leave it here

play09:59

and then for leads uh same exact thing

play10:02

uh just the only thing that changes is

play10:05

that you select

play10:09

leads whenever you go into create this

play10:13

always manual conversion and then in

play10:15

here uh you're going to select submit

play10:17

lead form actually not s submit lead

play10:20

form you're going to

play10:22

submit yeah submit lead form is the one

play10:24

I've been using so submit lead form um

play10:26

you're going to count just one not every

play10:29

and same settings same everything don't

play10:31

use a value for this conversion action

play10:33

same settings same everything

play10:37

once once that's created you're going to

play10:40

go back to the lead event that you just

play10:42

created you're going to open it and this

play10:46

the tag is going to look everything's

play10:47

going to look the same but you're going

play10:49

to put the tag in the thank you page so

play10:52

after someone goes to your website and

play10:54

they submit an opt-in form and they

play10:56

become a lead meaning they submit their

play10:57

email and their name and probably their

play10:59

phone and they click submit whatever

play11:02

page they land on after they submit

play11:04

that's where this code is going to have

play11:06

to go this code again is already going

play11:08

to be there because this code has to be

play11:09

in every page of the website uh but

play11:11

that's

play11:14

it so now we can finally start setting

play11:16

up some campaigns and you just have to

play11:18

come into the into the homepage and you

play11:20

can either click here or click here it

play11:22

doesn't really matter uh let's just

play11:24

click here and start a new campaign now

play11:26

the example that I'm going to give you

play11:28

is going to be for leads campaign but

play11:29

everything is the same besides one thing

play11:32

so when you come in here if you want to

play11:35

if you're running e-commerce you're

play11:36

going to select sales if you're running

play11:38

lead generation you're going to se

play11:39

select leads let's say we're running

play11:40

lead

play11:41

generation the only thing that differs

play11:43

from these campaigns is in here if

play11:45

you're running lead generation you're

play11:46

going to remove every other goal that's

play11:49

not relevant so in this case we just

play11:51

want to submit lead form if we're

play11:53

running sales we're going to remove

play11:55

every goal that's not relevant for sales

play11:57

including the add to cart and initi

play11:59

should check out goals the only goal

play12:01

that we have is purchases so that's the

play12:02

only goal we're going to live here we're

play12:04

going to leave here um so but let's go

play12:07

let's go back to leads to give you the

play12:08

example that I wanted to give you so we

play12:10

remove purchase and we remove at the

play12:13

cart then we hit continue then right

play12:17

here we're going to select video

play12:22

continue we name our campaign

play12:31

let's just say YouTube ads test

play12:33

one

play12:35

um now let's remove all of

play12:39

this and here you're going to enter the

play12:41

country let's say just running ads to

play12:43

the United

play12:45

States and you're running ads in

play12:51

English and then right here you're going

play12:53

to leave this as maximized conversion

play12:55

for now I'll get i'll get into you know

play12:57

the target CPA setting in a

play12:59

for now maximize maximize conversions is

play13:02

the

play13:03

goal then the daily budget um you're

play13:06

going to select the daily budget see

play13:08

this is what I was going to tell you so

play13:09

you're going to select the daily budget

play13:10

that you think is um acceptable and then

play13:13

Google's going to give you a

play13:13

recommendation and what I always

play13:15

recommend is just to put it a little bit

play13:17

above it so Google is recommending 2138

play13:19

so I'm going to put it at

play13:22

22 then the start date we do the same

play13:24

thing as on Facebook we start it the

play13:26

next day or whatever day we want it to

play13:27

start on so let's say we want to start

play13:29

on

play13:30

Monday then this stays the same this

play13:34

stays the

play13:35

same additional settings the only thing

play13:37

I recommend you change here is come into

play13:39

here additional settings devices set

play13:42

specific targeting for devices and

play13:44

remove TP screens cuz nobody really do

play13:47

submits a lead form on a TV or buys

play13:49

anything on a TV uh then the add group

play13:52

name it would it will be audience

play13:55

one and then from here is where we would

play13:59

add our audiences so each campaign is

play14:01

going to have a different audience so

play14:02

let's add the audience for the first

play14:05

campaign and there's two different types

play14:07

of audiences that you can add in here I

play14:09

recommend you do both so you can add a

play14:12

custom segment audience and a custom

play14:14

segment is an audience where you can

play14:16

tell Google or YouTube to Target people

play14:19

who have searched for specific Search

play14:22

terms on Google for example uh

play14:25

productivity apps so motion we know

play14:27

motion is a productivity app so these

play14:30

would

play14:31

be great sech terms let's just uh add

play14:35

all of these so this would be our first

play14:38

audience um productivity apps and we can

play14:42

see here that in the United States we

play14:43

have 1 billion to 5 billion Impressions

play14:45

weekly Impressions which is plenty to

play14:47

scale a campaign so this would be our

play14:50

first audience and we can just name it

play14:51

it's a segment it's a custom segment

play14:53

audience productivity apps and it's

play14:56

everyone essentially so anyone over 18

play14:58

years old and then save and then what

play15:01

I'm going to do here is I'm going to

play15:02

create all the other audiences as well

play15:04

for the other two campaigns just so you

play15:06

can um get an idea of how to create

play15:08

these audiences and you know the best

play15:10

way to create these audiences then uh

play15:13

let's just go into here switch audience

play15:15

for example and then create a second

play15:16

audience so the other type of audience

play15:18

that I recommend you create is the

play15:19

interests and um and demographics so

play15:22

again motion is a productivity app so

play15:24

let's see if there's any interests in

play15:26

here related to product AC

play15:29

ity so hospitality industry healthcare

play15:33

industry financial industry technology

play15:37

[Music]

play15:39

industry let's say

play15:44

calendar calendar software this is a

play15:46

great one this is a really good one

play15:49

let's see if online calendars also a

play15:51

really good one digital calendar tools

play15:53

absolutely so this is great this is

play15:55

absolutely great this is a great second

play15:57

audience we could just leave these four

play15:58

PL PL of weekly Impressions and we just

play16:01

say um in Market audience because this

play16:04

is what it's it's interest in detail you

play16:06

can actually say interest just like on

play16:09

Facebook it's interest

play16:10

targeting

play16:13

in uh and we can say calendar so we know

play16:15

what kind of Interest we have here and

play16:17

then also 18 years old um and over we

play16:21

don't really need to give um Google a

play16:23

lot of Direction on an age they will

play16:25

automatically Target whoever um is most

play16:27

likely to either purchase or in this

play16:29

case um become a

play16:31

lead but it's always editable here you

play16:34

can remove female you can remove male

play16:35

you can put whatever age you want to put

play16:36

in um it's up to you and save and then

play16:42

you just do this for the third audience

play16:44

you just do the same thing you you you

play16:45

think of uh potential audience and you

play16:48

search uh both in terms of Search terms

play16:50

and in terms of interests and whichever

play16:52

one seems the best you just use that one

play16:54

as a third audience so this is the first

play16:57

campaign so let's just use the first

play16:59

audience we created uh which was

play17:04

um it wasn't this one it was this one

play17:07

cool here you're going to remove this

play17:10

cuz if you leave this on what Google's

play17:11

going to do um you know Google and

play17:13

YouTube what they're going to do is

play17:15

they're going to expand your audience

play17:17

way too much outside of people that are

play17:19

interested and you're going to get

play17:21

really cheap clicks but you're going to

play17:23

get really low conversion so I always

play17:25

leave this off um there's no pointing

play17:28

leaving in the Le leaving it

play17:30

on now we got here to the point where we

play17:33

have to create our YouTube ad and the

play17:36

thing here is we actually have to have

play17:39

uploaded our video to our YouTube

play17:41

channel in order to be able to run the

play17:43

YouTube ad so right now I'm going to

play17:45

show you how to do

play17:47

that so the first thing you want to do

play17:49

is you want to go to you studio.

play17:51

youtube.com and if you don't have a

play17:52

Channel created you just have to create

play17:54

one usually a Google account that's a

play17:56

little bit old should have an automatic

play17:58

Channel created even though you don't

play18:00

have anything on it so when you're on

play18:02

this page all you have to do is just go

play18:04

into here create upload videos then you

play18:07

select a

play18:10

file then you go select

play18:13

file and then the only thing you want to

play18:15

make sure of is first of all this has to

play18:17

be um no it's not made for kids and then

play18:21

you want to make sure that this is set

play18:25

as

play18:26

unlisted then you just hit save and the

play18:28

video will automatically be sent into

play18:31

this part uh in this case it would be a

play18:34

a vertical video so it's automatically

play18:36

going to be sent into the shorts section

play18:39

but um it doesn't really matter what you

play18:41

have to test both you're going to have

play18:42

to test vertical and horizontal videos

play18:44

to see which one works best uh but in

play18:46

this case it would be a short video and

play18:47

then all you have to do is go to shorts

play18:50

and find the video that you just

play18:51

uploaded let's say it was this one and

play18:53

you come into here options get sharable

play18:56

link go back into YouTube and paste this

play18:59

video in there and that's it now

play19:03

obviously the ad is not created yet um

play19:06

but that's what you have to do on

play19:07

YouTube in order to be able to use this

play19:09

video um in order to to be able to use

play19:11

the video as an ad for YouTube ads now

play19:15

here for the ad creation the other steps

play19:17

that we have to follow are the following

play19:18

so first you have to paste in the link

play19:20

let's say it's motion.com

play19:24

then you're going to have to select the

play19:26

quality action let's say learn more

play19:30

headline um could be

play19:33

anything new AI let me actually go to

play19:44

motion use motion.com use AI to plan

play19:47

your work

play19:48

automatically AI okay we can

play19:52

do new AI

play19:56

assistant from motion

play19:59

long headline could be let's say if this

play20:02

one is too big or

play20:05

not yep that's good and then description

play20:08

doesn't really matter we can just use

play20:10

the same one then we can leave this as

play20:15

is we can do try motion.com use a ad to

play20:19

plan your

play20:20

video and

play20:23

then that is it for the ad

play20:27

creation and then you do the same thing

play20:30

with a new ad so you do new video ad so

play20:32

you have add one and now create ad two

play20:34

so you go back into YouTube you get a

play20:37

new link from a new video that you

play20:38

uploaded you paste it in here you leave

play20:41

everything else the same so the link is

play20:43

the same the title the headlines the

play20:44

same the call to actions the same

play20:46

everything's the same just the video is

play20:47

different and then you do it again for

play20:49

add three and then once that's done

play20:51

you're going to hit um create campaign

play20:53

let me actually remove these so that it

play20:56

doesn't

play20:57

cause then and you're going to hit

play20:59

create

play21:00

campaign then once the campaign is

play21:02

created the campaign is going to show up

play21:04

in here as one of these so it's going to

play21:06

be obviously it's going to be enabled

play21:08

and it's going to be showing as pending

play21:10

or ads under review and then once the

play21:12

ads are reviewed the campaign's going to

play21:13

be pending and then once it's live it

play21:16

will show as bid strategy learning and

play21:18

it will be spending money as this one is

play21:19

in here just to give you an

play21:22

example and then you just have to do

play21:25

this twice again uh to create the other

play21:28

two camp campaigns that I told you so

play21:29

you go back to create campaign and you

play21:32

do everything the exact same way same

play21:34

ads same settings same everything but

play21:37

the audience is going to be

play21:40

different so we remove

play21:43

this I'm just going to do this real

play21:46

quick to show you that the only thing

play21:48

that differs is that the audience that

play21:51

you select in

play21:54

here the audience right here is not

play21:56

going to be the same audience that you

play21:57

selected um before which was this one

play22:00

instead you're going to select a

play22:02

different audience which in this case

play22:03

let's say it was this one people who

play22:05

were interested in calendars

play22:08

um and then everything else is the same

play22:10

you add the videos here again to three

play22:12

and then you create the campaign and

play22:14

then you do the same thing for the third

play22:17

audience and or the Third campaign in

play22:19

this case and then at the end you'll

play22:21

have three campaigns in

play22:23

here now how do you actually manage

play22:25

these campaigns once the three campaigns

play22:27

are live like what how do you you

play22:28

actually manage them you know how do you

play22:29

scale them up how do you scale them down

play22:32

how do you turn them off turn them on

play22:33

like how do you make decisions the way I

play22:35

do it is the following so the first

play22:37

thing you're going to do is you're going

play22:37

to give them three days to run and

play22:39

you're not going to touch them after the

play22:41

three days you're going to turn off any

play22:44

campaign uh that are that is that the

play22:47

cost per conversion is above your target

play22:50

cost per conversion uh and that

play22:52

conversion could be a lead or it could

play22:53

be a purchase in this case it would be a

play22:55

lead if we set up the campaign promotion

play22:56

but for you it could be a purchase so

play22:58

after 3 days if the cost per conversion

play23:00

right here cost conversion is above

play23:02

let's say this one our cost per

play23:04

conversion was 5 this is at 650 we would

play23:06

come in here and turn this

play23:08

off

play23:10

[Music]

play23:11

um usually what will happen is you will

play23:14

have one audience meaning one campaign

play23:17

that will significantly outperform the

play23:20

other two and what you do then is you

play23:25

duplicate that campaign let's say it was

play23:26

this one you're going to duplicate this

play23:29

campaign um into a new one and you're

play23:33

going to change something in it for

play23:35

example you duplicate the campaign with

play23:37

the best performing audience and you put

play23:40

three new ads in it you know you

play23:42

duplicate it and you change the

play23:44

geographical location you're running it

play23:46

in you duplicate it and you change the

play23:49

daily budget um you duplicate it and um

play23:54

you change the age range usually the

play23:57

first thing I do is I just keep do

play23:58

duplicating and adding three new ads on

play24:00

each duplicate um because the ads are

play24:03

the main the main thing that drives

play24:05

conversions until I run out of ads to

play24:07

add and then I start dup messing with

play24:10

you know other settings like Audi like

play24:11

um not audiences like age and

play24:14

geographical location and uh the daily

play24:17

budget of each campaign etc etc um and

play24:21

you you're going to want to do this

play24:22

you're going to want to do this dup this

play24:23

duplication and this management of

play24:25

turning off if if the cost is above uh

play24:27

and duplicate if it's if it's

play24:30

below you're going to want to do this

play24:31

management until have until you have at

play24:33

least 100 conversions recorded in the

play24:36

pixel now and I mean on all campaigns

play24:40

together not just on one campaign so all

play24:42

conversions together from all campaigns

play24:44

the moment that hit 100 what you do is

play24:47

the

play24:49

following oh and by the way how do you

play24:51

actually duplicate campaigns it's very

play24:53

simple you come into here select edit

play24:55

copy and then in here

play24:59

you just do um contrl V or command V if

play25:01

you're on a Mac control V and then you

play25:04

just have to pause or not um and then

play25:08

adjust the start date for the next day

play25:10

and then just click p u click paste and

play25:13

a new campaign it will take like 10

play25:15

seconds maybe 15 maybe let's say up to a

play25:18

minute and a new campaign with the same

play25:20

name um and you know an asterisk that

play25:23

says two or one I think either one or

play25:27

two is going to show up up below this

play25:29

one and then all you have to do is just

play25:31

edit whatever you want on that new

play25:32

campaign if you want to edit the ads

play25:34

just go into the ads um and change the

play25:37

change the video just remove the V the

play25:39

YouTube video that's in there make sure

play25:40

you upload a new video to YouTube and

play25:42

change the video in

play25:43

there now going back to when you have

play25:46

100

play25:46

conversions um what you're going to do

play25:49

then is you're going to create a new

play25:50

campaign but this time with Target CPA

play25:55

instead of maximized conversions

play25:56

remember what what I I told you I was

play25:58

going to talk about Target CPA and

play25:59

maximized conversions um that's where

play26:02

you know you're going to create a new

play26:03

campaign and when you come into

play26:08

here let me do this real

play26:14

quick when it come into here

play26:19

um instead of maximized conversions

play26:22

you're going to have a Target CPA and

play26:24

the target

play26:25

CPA um usually I make it a lot bigger

play26:29

than what I want um like let's say I

play26:33

want a TPA of 10 I I'll let Google that

play26:35

I want a TPA I mean I'll tell Google if

play26:37

I that I want a CPA of 20 or 15 let's

play26:40

say 50% above so if my target CPA is 10

play26:44

then I'll tell Google 15

play26:46

[Music]

play26:47

um because if you make the Target too

play26:50

low Google a lot of the times will not

play26:53

spend any money because it can't get you

play26:55

that result Google is not like Facebook

play26:58

uh like it if it can't get you the

play26:59

result at that Target CPA it just won't

play27:01

spend any money um it doesn't mean

play27:03

you'll you'll pay the 15 that you're

play27:05

telling them you want it just means that

play27:07

you will allow the campaigns to make

play27:08

money uh to spend money and start

play27:10

learning uh and and the algorithm to

play27:12

start

play27:18

optimizing then the next step in the

play27:20

scaling process is once you hit 200

play27:23

conversions what you do is you create a

play27:25

new a whole new Target CPA campaign but

play27:28

this time um what you're going to do is

play27:31

you're going to remove all audiences so

play27:33

the previous Target CPA campaign should

play27:36

be with it should have the best

play27:38

performing audience let's say it was

play27:39

audience 2 so that Target CPA campaign

play27:41

that I was just talking about creating

play27:43

at 100 conversions that Target CPA

play27:45

campaign should have audience two in

play27:47

it the the second target CPA Campaign

play27:50

which is only after 200 200 conversions

play27:53

is not going to have any audiences

play27:54

you're going to remove the audience

play27:55

completely you're going to tell Google

play27:57

to go Broad and you know YouTube ads to

play27:59

go broad because at this point they

play28:01

already have enough data to find you the

play28:03

people uh a lot better um so it's a lot

play28:07

easier to scale that way you know

play28:10

usually with Facebook we can use this

play28:12

philosophy from the start um but with

play28:15

Google we need to feed it more data

play28:19

before we go uh and rely on Broad

play28:21

targeting so much and then what you have

play28:25

to do is you just keep doing this and

play28:27

repeat beting this and scaling um as

play28:30

much as you can until until you just you

play28:33

know you generate as much revenue as

play28:35

possible and as much row as as much

play28:36

return on adment as

play28:39

possible and like I said before with

play28:41

e-commerce you would do the exact same

play28:43

thing right now the campaigns that I the

play28:47

examples that I showed you was a leads

play28:48
