For today’s show, we have another Facebook ads strategy session, this time with Denise Schmeichler. Denise has created a content marketing course that’s in Spanish, and she’s looking to scale her Facebook ads for her future campaigns - without increasing conversion costs.
We’re going to break down her webinar sales funnels to see where we can make improvements to increase her overall revenue. You’ll hear me asking Denise a lot of questions to get an idea of how effective her funnel is at the moment, and this is because we don’t want to be pushing more leads through a broken funnel!
We look at the stats from Denise’s webinars, and let me tell you, she came to this call with her numbers ready. I share with her how I would approach her situation, including which levers to focus on that will really push the results that she is looking for.
I love these types of conversations and even if you’re not doing webinars, you’re going to find a ton of value here that you can apply to your business.
Today on the show we’re diving into a Facebook ads strategy sessions with a food blogger named Christine McMichael, who runs a site called JarOfLemons.com.
We break down her sales funnel and what her current objectives are for the business. I also pull up her webpage during the conversation to talk about her customer’s journey, and what they’ll see when first visiting the site all the way to purchasing her new book.
The big thing Christine wanted to focus on today was how to organize the testing of her sales funnel, and to see what’s working (and what isn’t)…
We cover what to be measuring in a sales funnel, how to get started with testing Facebook ads and a whole lot more. As you’ll hear, Christine has a lot of good things happening in her business and once she dials in some of the strategies we discuss today, the skyis the limit for her!
On the show today I’m joined by Babak Azad, who is the former Senior Vice President of Media & Customer Acquisition at Beachbody. During his time there, Babak helped grow the company from $100 million to over a billion dollar in sales, while overseeing more than $500 million in media spend. Now he is the founder of Round Two Partners, which helps performance marketers scale their businesses.
I asked Babak to come on the show because he brings a very unique perspective from his days at Beachbody. You’ll be interested to hear how he had absolutely no direct response or performance marketing background prior to joining that company, but the lessons he has learned he now uses to help small business owners who are his clients.
In this episode we talk about how you can understand the value of a customer, the importance of scaling, why it’s really all about context and fundamentals when it comes to business (regardless of which platform you’re using), and so much more.
You may find that it takes a few minutes of us talking to get to the really good stuff in this interview, but I really like that we covered such a wide range of topics that can really applied to many types of different businesses. As we talk about the show often, you’re going to hear that regardless of what level you’re at, you need to always be in a mode of testing and optimization.
My friend Chanti Zak is a conversion copywriter and she appears on the podcast today to look at something we haven’t covered a whole lot on this show – quizzes!
Chanti reveals how using quizzes, along with Facebook ads, can generate lots of high-quality leads for your business. She shares her specific process for creating quizzes, and discusses a case study where she generated 10,000 new leads in just one month (and with a Facebook ad spend of only $500!) using a quiz…
She talks about the different types of quizzes shown to be successful for businesses, which niches can benefit the most from doing them and why quizzes convert so well with Facebook ads.
Not only does Chanti give a step-by-step on how to create your first quiz, she shares her best practices for questions to ask, what an email follow-up “should” look like, the software to use and so much more in this episode.

Today I’m doing something a bit different as I’m joined by not one, but two guests on the podcast. You may recognize Ethan Sigmon’s name from a past episode where he talked about how to create high-converting Instagram ads. This time Jarrod Bentley, who hired Ethan to run his Facebook ads, is also here and we’re going to dive into how they’re using a Facebook video ads strategy to sell fitness DVDs.
Jarrod comes from an infomercial background and he reveals what led him to move away from television to online marketing, as well as the struggles he faced when he first started. He also shares how he was able to learn Facebook advertising and see success with the platform, along with a tweak he made that literally resulted in a million dollars in revenue!
Jarrod also shares details about how their Facebook ad account was shut down, and why looking back he now considers this the best thing that could have happened to him…
Ethan walks us through the steps he used to get the Facebook ads running again once becoming involved, and to how they are now spending upwards of $6,000 a day on ads…
You’ll see that a lot of what we touch on here can be considered advanced topics when it comes to Facebook advertising, but I’m still excited to bring the conversation to you because I think anyone that’s marketing on Facebook can really benefit from the information that is given in this episode.
