I Spent $152,115 on Facebook and Instagram Ads to Grow an Audience of Followers, Fans, and Customers

Here’s What I Learned…

Every month, hundreds of musicians, producers, and audio engineers buy my book, Step By Step Mixing: How To Create Great Mixes Using Only 5 Plug-ins.

Sales through my website

Sales through Amazon

90% of those sales come from my ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Although it pains me to give Mr. M. Zuckerberg so much money, these online ads have helped me grow a giant audience of followers, fans, and customers.

And I know you can, too, without overspending on ads or feeling overwhelmed about reaching the right audience.

What Would You Do With a Bigger Audience?

As a musician or producer, you know how crucial it is to reach fans, attract clients, and find followers.

That’s exactly what a strong advertising strategy will do:

Build an audience of fans and followers
Grow an email list of subscribers
Drive sales to your products
Attract new clients to your business
Find more people who want to listen to your message

However, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re better off booking a flight to Las Vegas and putting all your money on the Roulette wheel.

Although running ads can feel like gambling, it's much easier to make a return on your investment.

But only if you do it the right way.

Don't Let Complexity Kill You

If you've ever been on Facebook Ads Manager, you know how complex it can feel.

You want to set up your ads correctly and advertise to the right audience, but opening Facebook Ads Manager can feel like looking straight into the Matrix.

But after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads in the last few years, I've gotten used to staring into the Advertising Abyss.

I run Facebook and Instagram ads hand in hand with my organic social media strategies, and it’s helped me:

Make my organic social media posts reach a wider audience
Build my email list to 50,000+ subscribers and customers
Sell my products and services to grow my income

I’ve happily used these strategies to grow my business for the last decade.

But…

In the last few months, I’ve seen so many people make mistakes when they’re starting to advertise…

And I’ve noticed too many squandered opportunities.

These are opportunities where you could reach way more people than you ever thought possible.

So, I don’t want to keep this locked away for only my high-ticket coaching clients anymore.

Now, if you want to run effective Facebook and Instagram ads to reach a wider audience, get more people to follow you, and get the results you want from your advertising dollars, let me help you out.

"Prior to your FB ads class, i was not very familiar with what metrics to use to get the outcome I was looking for. Most of the time I would do a quick boost as a way to get my post out rather than going into ads manager and actually setting my parameters in a way that makes sense. A specific problem the class helped solve was finding out how to advertise for an event successfully. The class helped me achieve a new level of understanding of FB ads and when to use them to make the most of your advertising budget. In this class, I learned how to target audiences with different locations, types of media, and identifiers. Without knowing this information, FB ads cannot be used to your advantage. My impression of the class and subsequent meetings was that Bjorgvin is very knowledgeable about all aspects of FB ads. He understands the clients' needs and is able to teach specific techniques that will benefit each unique situation. For someone who has not heard about the class, I would say, If you are a small business or marketer, this class would provide you with great skills to excel in your field. This would also be a good class for someone looking to take continuing education classes to keep up to date with best practices in the marketing field."
