I’m always asked what books I recommend for business, because I absolutely love reading these types of books (in fact, I usually have 3 or 4 on them on the go at once)! So on today’s show I want to share 7 books I’ve read that have changed my business, and as a result, changed my life.

As you’ll hear, it was tough to narrow this list down to just 7 books, and I do mention a few extras near the end of the episode. These books aren’t just business books though, as I also include books on mindset that have been a great influence to me. I

’ll be telling you a bit about what each of these books are about, as well as giving my two cents on why I found so much value in it.

In addition to giving you this list of recommendations, I’ll be sending one lucky winner a copy of each of these 7 books! To enter, you’ll need to subscribe to this podcast and take a screenshot showing you have subscribed. Second, you need to leave an honest rating and review of The Art of Paid Traffic on iTunes, and also take a screenshot confirming you have done that. Next, direct message me on Instagram (@rickmulready) those two screenshots and I’ll pick a winner at random. Good luck and I hope you enjoy these books as much as I have!

Welcome to another Quick Tip episode!

This is where I share a quick tip with you each week that’s related to Facebook ads or online marketing or just general growing your business tips.

Today’s quick tip is all about How to Increase the Quality of Your Facebook Ad Leads.

Let’s jump into it...

Dec 5, 2018

It’s the third installment of our Messenger Marketing mini-series here on the podcast, and today I’m speaking with one of my FB ADmanager and ROI Club students. Steve Loiselle is a former police offer who decided to start his own Facebook Ads management business, and in the less than a year of doing so, he’s already seeing amazing results (and he’s just getting started).

I asked Steve to come on the show to share a case study of a recent Facebook Messenger campaign he ran for a local snow plowing business, and you’re going to hear how a $500 ad spend for that campaign resulting in between $30k and $50k of revenue for his client. Not a bad ROI!

In fact, this campaign worked so well that Steve’s client had way more business than he could handle, and the business owner needed to hire additional help to service the number of new customers he got as a result of the ad campaign Steve set up and managed.

You’re going to hear the story of how Steve got this client, his targeting strategy for the ads and the use of scarcity in his offer. Plus he’ll be breaking down his entire Facebook Messenger ads funnel, as well as how he leveraged his Messenger subscriber list in a very unique way that led to 20 more sales for his client - with no additional ad spend.

On the Show Today You’ll Learn:

• What happened to show Steve that there was big potential for him to starting his own Facebook ads business

• How he discovered he would have to niche down in terms of what clients he works with in order to see the best results

• Why Steve started with a video campaign for his new client and how they generated strong results using it

• What the offer to customers looked like, including his CTA and the ad copy he used

• How Steve is now using custom and lookalike audiences to scale the next campaign for his client

• What he learned from running this Facebook Messenger campaign and what he’ll be doing different the next time
