How to build an email list using FB Ads?

7 replies
Lets say I want to build an email list of subscribers using FB Ads... should I direct the traffic from FB to an opt-in form (which is outside FB), or should I build a large amount of likes first on my fan page, and then direct the viewers on my fan page to an opt-in page (outside of FB).


Thanks for any suggestions.

    I personally always try and capture them as a lead first.

    Send them to your squeeze page, and grab their email.

    If you send them to your page first. Then you are giving them one more extra hoop to jump through when you don't have to. Remember less actions a person has to take the better it will be for your conversions.

    This is just my opinion, but I hope it helped you in some way. Take care Buddy!

      Hello parix. When you are talking about view ads... are you referring to Dark Post?

      Thank you.

          I wouldn't go ad to fan page to landing page. Inviting cold traffic to like your fan page is like sending a friend request to a stranger. Even if they accept, they're not very likely to engage with you in the future, as they don't know you!

          You could direct cold traffic straight to a landing page and capture their emails that way. This works if you know exactly who your target audience are and can get your ads super narrow in the targeting. You also need a good offer (something instantly consumable like a cheat sheet, quick start guide etc) and a good quality landing page (benefit driven bullet points, CTA above the fold, consistent with ad on FB)

          My preferred method is send cold traffic to ungated content such as a blog post. You'll get more people click through if they know they don't have to submit an email address to get your content. Add the Facebook Pixel to your website so that you can build a custom audience to retarget later. Add a pop up or link to your blog post inviting people to join your list. When people do join your list, send them to a thank you page and with an offer to a low ticket item (between $7-$47). This will help you make back some of the money spent on the ads.

          Set up an ad targeting people who visited your website offering your opt in offer again. They're much more likely to opt in (which means cheaper conversions) once they've already seen the offer, know who you are and what you teach.

    Building list is great idea. From my side, i saw many others to build the list. So get the traffic in your lead page. But your lead page must be super high quality. If that then only you may able to get massive amount of leads from FB ads. And try to do optimized ads.
