I just earned my first Skool community member using Facebook ads, and I will show you exactly what I did. Step by step. Hi, my name is Austin Godbolt, and I am with austinggodbolt.com. I’ve generated thousands of dollars online with affiliate marketing, selling digital products, and my YouTube channels.
I want to show you how to get started legally, ethically, and responsibly. If you want to be added to the globe, comment below with your city, state, zip code, province, or country. And I’ll get your pen. All right. So, as I mentioned, I just earned my first new enrollee through Facebook ads.
And what we’re going to do is I’m going to walk you through this process step by step. It can be a little bit intimidating. It can be a little bit overwhelming. So, I will try to make this as simple for you as possible. Now, if you want to get started with your Skool community, I will link you to the 14-day free trial to help you get started.
As a bonus, If you use my link to get started, I’ll work with you one-on-one to help you build your community. So the first thing you need to do is to join my paid Skool community, which is a YouTube affiliates academy. It helps people get started with affiliate marketing on YouTube.
The first thing you need to do, obviously, is to create your community. Without your community, you won’t be able to get this up and running. I do want to show you my Facebook ad here. As you can see, it says Skool YouTube affiliates campaign. I’ve got one website. Purchase that is the enrollee, and I’m spending about 10 per day.
We’ll get into that in a moment, but I want to help you set everything up the right way first. So the first thing is that you’re going to have your community. What you need to do next is go to settings and then down to plugins. And then, you need to connect your meta pixel. To do that, you must have a Facebook ads account.
So what you’re going to do is press edit for yours. It’s going to be turned off. You’re going to want to turn that on. You’ll have to put in your Facebook pixel ID, and then you’ll have to connect one more thing. And let me show you how to do that quickly. All right.
So, you’re going to need to click on all the tools. Now yours might look a little bit different. That’s fine. It’s going to be pretty close. You’re going to click on Events Manager. All right. So once you click on events manager, you will click where it says The pixel name, and then you will go to settings.
Once you click on settings, scroll down to where it says conversion API, click on generate access token, and walk through the steps. Now, I don’t want to show you the steps because you can do them. Make sure that you have checked or turned on your purchases so that they can be tracked.
For the purchases, you’re going to copy the access token then, and you are going to place it in this one spot where it says API or access token; click save. And then, you will get a green connection that shows it works. So that’s the foundation. That’s the background of what you’re going to have to do.
Now, once you have that, you will create a Facebook ad. And to do that, you are going to go back over to. Facebook goes to the ads manager. To give myself the best chance to succeed with this, I made video content, and I’ll show you the videos I created.
They’re straightforward. I did whiteboard videos showing people the benefits of using YouTube for affiliate marketing. As you can see, I made one website purchase. I started this on April 22nd and got my first one yesterday, on the 27th. So, it’s not bad. I’ve spent what? 10, 23, and 30 before I got my first sale, which, hopefully, we get that down a little bit because this is a monthly recurring revenue type of thing.
The one person who enrolled would have to be enrolled for five months before I break even. And so we certainly want to get that down, but let’s go ahead, and I’ll show you exactly what I did to set this up. I clicked on Create. I did a sales campaign, clicked continue, and did the advantage.
Advantage plus shopping campaign, click continue. And the cool thing about the advantage plus shopping campaign is that it’s like training wheels. Okay. Facebook takes away all of the heavy lifting. It makes it simple for you to get up and running. Okay. You want to use, at least in my opinion, the Facebook Plus shopping campaign because Facebook knows so much about its customers, right?
Facebook has thousands, if not millions, of data points on each viewer, so they can pinpoint who’s going to be the best for this offer. Just to go through here, no category was selected. If your offer falls into one of these four, that’s fine. Maximize the goal and the number of conversions, and add your pixel.
Of course, choose the app. We don’t need to select an app. We can keep scrolling. And then the one thing I did add is I added the big five United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to the countries. Then, I set my daily budget to 10, with no end date. Then I clicked next, and you’re going to create your ads.
Now, what you’ve got to do here is put your link to your Skool community right here in the website URL. And then for the headline, I just made a straightforward headline for 8 per month. You are going to learn how to earn affiliate commissions with you. It was a simple ad, but I think I made it more appealing because I had a video, and the video was a whiteboard talking about three reasons why you should use YouTube for affiliate marketing.
If we look at this, I’ll show you the exact ad I used. As you can see, I have three versions of the app. As you can see here, I will do an advanced preview. This one right here, and you can look at this for yourself in the Facebook ads library; search all stinking God bolt real, and you’ll be able to see it, but as you can see, for eight a month, you can get access to a community to earn affiliate commissions responsible for helping me earn commissions.
Not a great headline, but it works. But if you look at it, this is what I’m doing. I have stopped posting on TikTok. If you want to earn affiliate commissions, that’s a common thing that people have been telling other affiliate marketers to do. If they want to earn commissions, they’ve got to sing, and they’ve got to dance.
Another one I had was about three reasons why YouTube is still the best place for affiliate marketing. And I just did, I wrote down notes on a simple whiteboard and you could do this. I use my iPad to do it, but you could essentially do this with an online whiteboard. Hopefully, as I continue to let this run for another five, Five, or six days, I will get more sales, and B the algorithm will find more people interested in this type of affiliate marketing.
Once you have everything set up, you’ll click publish. It takes about two or three hours to get your ad approved. Once it’s approved, you will actually get up and running. So, I was excited that this did work. I got the idea from someone named Evelyn Weiss.
She’s enormous over in Skool to run Facebook ads. I wanted to make sure that I tested it out. I did that myself, but this works, which is fantastic. Hopefully, in the best-case scenario, this becomes a bit more profitable, and I can make even more money and share some different tips and tricks with you.
One thing that I did was try to do this without using the Advantage Plus campaign to do the manual setup. And I found a little bit more success with the other way. So, guys, let me know if you have any questions in the comment section, but you can do this with Skool running traffic directly from Facebook ads to your Skool community.
It’s something that anybody can do. Again, if you want to get started with your Skool community using my affiliate link, I do have a bonus of working with me one-on-one to help launch your community. Now that you have seen that you know how to run Facebook ads to your Skool community watch this video next because YouTube says it will help you grow your online business.
