Step 18: Track your ad’s performance; how much do you average for a new conversion / email subscriber?

1. Look at your profit from one customer
2. Compare to your ad cost
3. Divide profit / ad cost
4. Look at the resulting number (X)
5. That means if 1 / X people buy your product from ads, your ads are profitable

Step 19: Adapt and improve based on your data

As you review your ad performance, you should keep in mind that conversion rates from Facebook traffic are often less than 1%.

That means that if 1000 people view your ad, fewer than 10 of them will likely convert into paying customers.

But that’s only an average, and you can improve your conversion rate by repeatedly testing and optimizing your ads.

Plus, you have to start somewhere. And the sooner you start, the sooner you can work on improving your campaigns for the best possible results. With that in mind, it’s in your company’s best interest to start advertising on Facebook as soon as possible.

Now that you have the basics down, let’s look at the specific requirements for ads on Facebook.
