great advice

hello

i would like to understand how to promote my “work from home” biz oppty using Facebook, as I understand from Facebook advertising rules that there are restrictions in advertising work from home oppties with them. Thanks

good info thus far

Great stuff, well presented, to the point and most of all informative. Thank you.

I’m not sure if its just me, but I can not get any of the videos in this series to load. I have tried with multiple browsers, but none of them load. Just keep spinning like they want to start playing but never do.

Thank you! dz

Thanks this is fantastic, looking forward to the coaching.

Thank you Drew and Perry.
This sounds really interesting and thank you for explaining it in very simple terms. I wonder however it is appropriate for B2B. Are there that many business people on Facebook?

You guys are super heros! Can’t wait to see the details of this course.

Hi Drew, I got up really early to catch your third video

I have to say that I am truly impressed with the things you are taliking about. I do have to organize my own website (and organize a Facebook whatsit too) before I even think of bringing people there. That in many ways is a bigger problem than buying clicks, after all if the clicks don’t convert into interest, there’s no point.

This web-selling business is a long learning-curve for me, and I have a very long way to go it seems.

When the first email came through, it mentioned three videos; I am very pleased that you have thought to do more of them. Thanks.

WIll my business work on facebook marketing? Scientific instruments for testing carbon and sulfur.

Hi,
Thanks for the video. Instead of just slapping on a paypal button on a FB fan page I suggest an add-on called Payvment. It allows you to actually create a shop on your fan page and thereby offer more than one product. Paypal is still used for billing but this option is great when you have more than one product. I’ve tested it myself and it works really well. Very easy to use interface to manage your products.

I am setting up a business selling various software tools for the document workflow market. Yes I would like more information about your fast track course.

I found this to be very informative and thank you for putting this together.

Social Media marketing is starting to make a *little* sense to me.

When linked-in first appeared (or I first heard about it) I thought “What a great idea, as soon as I get a lead thru this I will pay them money and spend loads of time here getting business” I spent like 20 hours a week for several weeks – no money-no sales; (this was in like 2003 or 2004) – still waiting (but not spending a lot of time there anymore).

It seemed to me that what was missing was the ability to look someone in the eye and shake their hand, and became skeptical that a web site could ever replace those interactions.

While I am still skeptical, the idea of FB trust has me encouraged about social media marketing. Please tell me more about this trust factor.

Nate

Thanks for information that is short, concise and to the point.

I’m kinda at sea, here.It’s a lot to take in.

Hi Perry and Drew,
I’ve already signed up for the coaching program. Should I listen to the Q&A today?
Thanks,
Roger

I just came across something that I would like to be able to advertise on Facebook, but didn’t have much success with my ads in the past. What is the best starting point? Should I go and watch the video you mention that is on Perry’s site, or will the program you’re offering be complete beginning to end for advertising on FB?

Thanks,

Joe

OK so here is another question.

How do I collect email addresses from a facebook fan page for my business (and I mean collect them outside of facebook)?

Nate

Another nice vid…just wondering when will the Facebook fast Track program be available.

Cheers

Hi Drew,

At last i’m starting to get my head around FB,

For the last 6 months my seo people have been urging me to give them a FB budget. Drew’s videos reinforces their advice.

The real difference; for me, is that you guys have sorted out the ‘how and why’ stuff.

Thank you,

Chas Dutton – UK

If you are directing users to Facebook (something I do “get”) what point do you actually present your offer to the customer or prospect?

Another great video…I’ve made notes and will be implementing everything I can. I’d love to be able to join you on the coaching programme – I can’t right now. Hopefully you will be running another one soon and I’ll be able to join in that one..

Thank you so much.

Sarah Jayne

Thank you so much for the awesome video! It was really helpful and useful info – not fluff like many people use a their “giveaway”. So thank you for sharing. I am so bummed that I have an appointment during the time of the call today – will you be recording it so one could listen to it later?

Again, many thanks for sharing the info on Facebook!
Smiles,
Laura Mak

Drew – great content, amazingly well condensed.

1) facebook ads have a 2 day life span

2) Bid strategy

It looks like Facebook Ads is better designed for building a brand and services. How would you promote affiliate products since you want to stay in Facebook (fan pages)??

Drew,
Are you using this FB knowledge for launches of products like membership sites succesfully?

Will you be showing us the “mechanics” of setting this up? For example integrating with an auto-responder, shopping cart, wordpress, or linking to course modules whether you send them to your website or not… like what you are doing here with your sales letter/video sales letter modules.

In other words, will your be showing “HOW TO” vs. “WHAT TO” info?

Thanks

Jack

I’m glad I decided to spend the majority of my internet marketing education time on Planet Perry. You seem to stay just a little ahead of the pack.

I was on the verge of inquiring if you were looking at facebook and your opinion of it as a marketing vehicel, and then you come out with this.

Great. Keep it up.

yes, please send the mini-course.

I’d like the free course.

Is a FB fan page and a FB business page equally effective and the same in terms of Ads and landing pages?

I really look forward to learning more about this subject. My friends and I have struggled with FB where we’ve had some of our Ad’s turned down over 30 times. It seems that there is a certain process to this based on building trust with FB.

I’m looking forward to learning more!

Great set of videos.
I don’t ususlly add comments to promotional posts, but had to make an exception here.
I was totally uninterested in doing anything with Facebook (have only been to their site twice to look at my daughter’s photos) until watching your very well thought out, very well put together videos.
I’m now very interested in taking a look at your Fast-Track program.
Thank you.

Again excellent video and knowledge you shared! Is getting exciting for me
I have a FB personal page for couple years and just decided to share my cooking passion and to turn into business in near future. I just created a new group and just watched your video about Fan page. (yet to figure out how to create a Fan page) Is Fan page different from Group? If so, how to direct the group member to Fan page. as they just signed up as Group members?
Hope this questions contribute to part of the future coaching question.
Would appreciate a immediate tips on your next video about this, thanks a zillion!

This was a delight to watch. Drew, you have a very real and sincere ability to communicate in video. I have learned a lot and look forward to more.

Hello,

Great call so far! I tried typing in the URL below for the Acrobat file, and was not able to access the file. Suggestions?

http://bit.ly/FB/callhandout

Thanks!

I get slammed with so much IM stuff and wasn’t going to watch these videos but this is really good content, especially the part about driving your FB traffic to an FB fan page. Thank you.

I’m thinking of the $495 package. What can I expect from the $495 package? Will the Live Workshops be recorded for the $495 package people to have access to?

I couldn’t get ANY of the bit.ly links to work from the Q&A call. Can you spell them out here?

This is great, Drew!

When is video 4 coming out?

Great, thanks for posting!

No website required. This is brilliant on so many levels!

The Facebook branding, no hosting account required, easy to implement and customize, and on and on.

You guys have really done your homework.
Great job!

George Krahn

Dear Drew;
I have used YouTube with Friends option but it also is connected to FaceBook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Facebook also posts to all of these places interactively. How do set up a Facebook account other than my name, a generic account that is only connected to one or other of the above?

Presently I have a client who wants to present locally with a projector to notetakers in a foreign country but in English. Since they are seeking certification the attendance is by fee and limited. YouTube is too open to downloading video. Facebook privacy is in doubt because their account list is hacked. LinkedIn is content challenged. Twitter is twitty short text messaging.

What is needed is something like IChat but with slides like PowerPoint, but no video. Maybe slideshow. PDF express or lite. Thomas McClure Professiona llc Film

You confirmed what I suspected. Send the clicks to a Facebook Fan Page. Then take them to the website when they are ready. Different sales funnel than Google PPC.

Great information. Thank you.

Good and useful informations!
THX.

Hello – What a great course…and Perry has expanded his great professional business with Drew and Facebook – that’s Vision.
Question – You talked of Not Having to Have a Website and still being able to make this work – could you tell me where you go into how this is done – Which Video- or is it on an Email – or is it Still To Come?
Thanks again – all of you are an inspiration of Professionalism, Great Business Sense, and Marketing.
Nathan Abraham

The light just went on thanks for the awesome insight!

Thanks Drew -for the reply to my question about Not Needing a Web Page with Facebook. Your responsiveness and excellent thoroughly researched and thought out ideas are…as many are saying…An Inspiration. Perry and you have done an extremely good job at this…as anyone can see from the great number of Praises on your Blog.
I appreciate the quick reply and the link….I will be checking it out and watching tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Nathan Abraham

Forgot to ask – Is the Quick Start Call the beginning of the Paid for Course – or is it another group of your extremely generous – and motivating – free ideas.
Thanks
Nathan Abraham

hi drew, I am a network marketer and I want to use FB to recruit new distributor by offering my work from home business but I got turned down by FB because apparently my ad is against their guidelines. Will you cover this type of FB advertising too?

Thanks for sharing Drew. This is really exciting information! The research is amazing, and will certainly bring relationship marketing to a new level.
Best regards,
Gerald

Hello Drew – thanks for getting back on the Quick Start Course tomorrow – I’ve been hoping to be able to take it but recovering from an accident – so, will you be giving it, or other Facebook courses after it? I’m thinking of the Core Level mainly to start.
Thanks
Nathan Abraham

Hi Drew – thanks for getting back on my question about whether you will be giving the Quick Start or similar Facebook courses again. Question: What time does the Quickstart course begin tomorrow – and how late tonight or tomorrow -do I have to register?
Question: will the Webinar tonight be recorded and available as a link like the other Webinars?
Thanks again,
Nathan Abraham

Registered for your class based on the emails alone. Now that I’ve watched the videos, I’m even more excited to learn from you.
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Drew,

I gave up on Facebook… until last night.

7 of my ads produced 200,000 impressions and ZERO clicks.

Last night, I heard your voice in my head saying
to change my mindset and I wrote a new ad.

Guess what man? 84 clicks today!!!!!
EIGHTY FOUR!

I know I can work on the conversion from here,
but I’m amazed at the difference.

Thank you very much Drew.

Rich

I never thought about it this way

Hello Drew – I read through one of the pages describing the Course and it said I should have my own Website up (along with an autoresponder). My site is far from being completed and without an autoresponder. including my problem of recovering from an accident.
…But, I’m certainly interested in learning more from you – am wondering if there is a way to “audit” the course perhaps in a few weeks – by advancing my knowledge by paying to listen to the recordings you make of the sessions?
Looking forward to your feedback,
Nathan Abraham

What You are saying just plain makes sense – Thankyou so much – I for One greatly value Your awesome free content here.

Kindest Regards,

Graham Price CEO

I know testing is key but landing pages that are kept in facebook plays very well with the trust factor in facebook.

Confession: I didn’t like facebook but got an account because my relations who are abroad insisted. Now I see how I can cash in.

Brilliant stuff.

Drew,

What are your thoughts on a sandwich page used basically as a buffer that gives people content and then putting a link to your landing page directly under the content?

I learned it from Ryan Deiss’s course and I’m actually going to test sending to a video sandwich page with a url re-direct to a landing page after the video is finished playing.

Just curious to get your feedback on this my friend.

- Yo

Wow! I opted in after watching your first vid and watched the whole lot in one sitting which is not like me… as i had to twitter, accept friend request on FB and finish my blog template lol! I totally get you and am seriously considering this option as will others I know who need a great platform to get out there.. cheers mate and thanks for the black & white explanations.. and for not taking money off me to watch this! oh and by the way… you’re a natural!

Hi Drew,

This is really good stuff. I never thought about it that way and you really opened my eyes.
I have gone through 3 videos yet and I really love what you are talking about and how you bring it in your video.

Thanks a lot Drew this is really awesome stuff for free.

Regards,
Anton

WOW, PERRY MARSHALL!!! Who the hell are you? You have wowed me again…You truly are a “Golden Nugget” my friend..Great Knowledge.

this is all new hat to me..dont even know what my url is??? plus I dont have a clue as to a product…guess I need to start from the bottom..can you help me??

Drew,

Great info.I am going to add a FB advertising set up package for my local seo clients.Knowing they can target users by city and state should make it an easy decision for them.

Thanks,
Rich

Wow, great info about the Facebook Trust Factor and using Facebook PPC to send someone to an internal Facebook fan page. Who would have thought of that? Thanks much!

really informative speech down there. I like it when you only focus on giving info. not like other marketers only focus on promoting and begging the listener to buy their service.

can’t wait to see vid 4 and hope there will be vid 5 and vid 6 etc. lol, it is just good.

Drew, you make that all seem so “do-able’. Thank you for taking the trouble to explain how facebook might work for businesses.

Until recently I have thought it to be a trivial and pointless waste of time. I am glad to hear that I was wrong!

how you get to 4?

I am gradually dipping my toe into the shark-infested waters of internet marketing, and readily admit that I’m a dunce when it comes to coping with the technical side of things – I prefer writing stories.

But Perry’s emails are always refreshing and interesting. And now he’s given us Drew and this fascinating Facebook information.

Not sure how I can use this. It takes time for these kinds of ideas to percolate. But I’m very glad to have found this…and await vid4 with interest!

Straight to the point and great tips. Gotta love it!

Will you be releasing this program again for 2011?
