It’s been awhile since we’ve covered YouTube ads on the podcast, so today I’m welcoming back Tom Breeze, CEO of the YouTube ad agency, Viewability.  

Tom was one of the original guests here on The Art of Paid Traffic (episode #6) and a lot has changed since he was on the show -- especially what’s working right now to get quality leads & sales with YouTube ads.

The interview with Tom is so jammed packed that I decided to split it into two episodes (Part I this week and Part II next week)…

In Today’s Episode You’ll Learn:

  • The mindset needed for successfully advertising with YouTube ads
  • Why people are starting to diversify from advertising on Facebook and the significant differences between it and YouTube
  • The different types of YouTube ad campaigns you have available and how to use each to get the best results
  • How to best setup your YouTube ad campaigns
  • And a lot more...

And make sure to tune-in next week when we have Part II, where we dive into:

  • What kind of video ad quality is best for different types of businesses
  • How long your YouTube video ad should be
  • The anatomy of a high converting YouTube ad, including what to say
  • What kind of landing pages are converting best right now
  • What type of video ad Tom’s been testing lately that has given one of his clients a 30% increase in opt-ins and a 50% increase in sales

If you’ve ever wondered how you can create a thriving online business while having a full-time job…

Or, if you’ve wanted to take an in-person business that “relies on you” and scale it online...

This episode is for you.

On the show today, veterinarian Dr. Brett Beckman, who specializes in veterinary dentistry, joins me to share how he has used Facebook ads to create a thriving online business.

In addition to his in-person practices, Dr. Beckman sells online training courses for veterinarians, has a membership site and offers live events.

And the business is driven by Facebook ads to webinars (both live and evergreen) as well as to free content.

Since starting the online portion of his business almost by accident back in 2013, he’s been 4X’ing his online revenue every year since.

On today’s episode, we dive into everything he’s doing and break it all down for you -- his Facebook ads, his online programs, the strategy behind what he does, and more.

For me, most importantly, I really want you to pay attention to how Brett is playing the long game of his Facebook ads and paid traffic...

How he focuses first on providing value so that he can build relationships with other veterinarians around the world so that when they’re ready for more training, they’ll turn to him.

On the Show Today You’ll Learn:

  • How Brett started off in May 2013 with 800 emails in his Constant Contact account and decided to test selling his first course for just $59. He went on to do $22K the rest of that year.
  • We get into how Brett started 4X’ing his revenue each year since
  • We break down all of his courses, and the journey he wants new leads coming into his business to take
  • Why losing money sometimes on the front end of his paid traffic is ok with him
  • How Brett is a master of repurposing content so he can build trust with his target audience
  • What Brett’s super power is, in my opinion anyway, that has allowed him to be so successful
  • What his team looks like
  • And a whole lote more…
