My Low Budget Facebook Ad Strategy That Works Every Time

By Rachel Pedersen

I’ve got a secret that I want to share with you.

This secret helped one of my very first clients to 13x their return on investment with ads and we still work with them to this day. We do this with my go-to three-tier strategy.

This client has a crazy specific niche, literally every year they only have an audience of 100,000 – 200,000 people.

With such a specific niche, their attribution is longer than Facebook’s normal 28-day attribution window.

Our goal for the client is to gain brand awareness, registrations, and sales through roughly $100 a day in ad spend.

Are you ready to hear how this magic works?

Before you run Facebook ads, let’s talk about some tasks you should have completed in order to have the best possible outcome.

Step one: know your audience.

You should know who the audience is and what will resonate with them.

Step two: have a landing page to sell your amazing offer to solve a problem your audience has.

Step three: install the pixel on your landing page.

Step three is super important for the three-tier strategy.

Without the pixel, you will not be able to target the people who are interacting with your landing as a result of the ad. Step three is super important for the three-tier strategy.

Tier one is all about brand awareness.

What we do is create 4-5 videos that we run with 3 audiences for reach and video view objectives.

This primes the audience by introducing them to the brand.

We take those 4 videos with 3 audiences and create 12 ad sets which we run at $1-2 dollars a day for a week.

After that week is over we adjust the ad spend to be $15-20 a day across all these ads.

Sounds simple enough right?

Tier two is all about retargeting to get registrations.

We retarget the audience that interacted with tier one ads to the webinar that is offered with those exact same videos.

By previously having introduced them to the brand we are able to achieve an unheard of 79% attendance rate.

Can you believe that?

All of this is achieved at roughly $75 a day.

It’s all about building trust.

Just think about when you meet someone for the first time generally you are way more likely to get them to do something with you or for you after that first impression is made.

Keep that in mind when you are running ads, people unsurprisingly don’t act differently online than they do at a party or playdate.

Tier three is all about sales and it converts like crazy.

We focus on targeting people who registered for the webinar if they attended or not. We dedicate about $5 dollars a day on this tier.

With this audience, we simply send them to the sales page and watch the magic happen.
The crazy thing is this tier gets us our lowest cost per result.

One caveat to remember is to exclude the buyer list so anyone who has already bought from you doesn’t see the ads again.

Be sure you know the Facebook ad policies inside and out.

Facebook not only scans your ads but also your landing page, by following the policies they layout this will ensure that your ads are approved.

Remember Facebook doesn’t create these policies to make your life difficult, they are there to protect them as well as you.

Outside of this strategy we, of course, run an evergreen ad set as well.

In everything we do, it all boils back down to sales.

In the case of the three-tier strategy we want to keep in mind the fact that each additional time a customer sees the brand the more likely they are to purchase.

Customers are more likely to purchase after interacting with a brand 7 times which is why this system works so well.

This three-tier strategy is timeless.

It works for this client, and the next client and the next one.

If it can work in such a specific niche it can work for you.

Someone commented on this video and said my content catches them off guard, because it’s like a mix between businesstok and a finsta AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT ❤️ I want to give you everything you need to succeed but also show you my personality! 👯‍♀️

✨ This is your sign to go and have fun with your content today ✨
One comment can absolutely throw off your whole mo One comment can absolutely throw off your whole mood.

That does not mean you are fragile.
It means you are a person with a nervous system and a phone and a business and eyeballs.

Very normal.

The part that matters is what you do next.

Because the second you read something rude, your brain gets loud fast.

Your chest tightens.
Your fingers get fast.
And suddenly you are writing a full legal brief in your head like this stranger has personally been chosen for your closing argument.

I get it.

But reacting and leading are not the same thing.

Reacting is about relief.
Leading is about control.

And if you answer from the spike, it usually does two things:
makes the room feel weird
and leaves you feeling gross after

No win there.

Also, not every comment deserves the same energy.

Some people are confused.
Some are projecting.
Some are bored and using your comment section like a hobby.

Those are different.

So before you reply, ask yourself what is actually happening here.

Is this a real objection my quiet buyers might have too?
Is this my person, or just a random drive by with Wi Fi and opinions?
Is there something useful to clarify for the people reading without saying a word?

That is the shift.

Do not defend for the sake of defending.
Diagnose for the sake of the audience.

If somebody says, “this is stupid, this won’t work,” you do not need to perform confidence.

You can just say:
Totally fair question. What part feels unrealistic to you?

That response does a lot.

It slows the temperature down.
It makes the other person get specific.
And it shows the rest of the room that you are not rattled just because someone coughed in your direction.

Same thing with the classic “you’re just trying to sell.”

Okay.
And?

You can answer that without getting weird.

Clarity is not manipulation.
An offer is not a crime.
And calm does not mean passive.

So today, pick your move:
ignore the noise
ask one clean question
or turn the objection into content and help the people quietly watching

That is leadership.

If I lost it all tomorrow no followers, no list, n If I lost it all tomorrow
no followers, no list, no proof, no cute little receipts to point at

I would not waste a week trying to look established.

That is where people lose so much time.

They try to look polished first.
Professional first.
Credible first.

And meanwhile nobody knows they exist.

No thank you.

If I had to rebuild, I would get visible immediately.

Short form video.
Raw.
Hook first.
Saying something real.
Not waiting until the lighting is flattering and the brand voice is having a good hair day.

Because the invisible stage is not the stage to over-style.

It is the prove it stage.
The rocky montage stage.
The “say something useful before your fear talks you out of it” stage.

And yes, the panic would absolutely try to jump in.

It would say:
you’re behind
you’re doomed
you had your shot

Cool.
Very dramatic.
But wrong.

Because sometimes losing the old version is not doom.
It is freedom.

No stale identity to protect.
No old audience to keep happy.
No pressure to keep performing as the version of you that built the first thing.

Just data.
Movement.
Rebuild.

So week one?

I would post daily.
I would repeat the hooks that hit.
I would build a tiny freebie before it was ready and let it be a little embarrassing.
Mine have been ugly before too. Still worked.

Because followers with no list is just noise with good lighting.

I would rather have 73 people on an email list who actually care than a pile of views and no way to catch them.

And yes, I would manually DM the link if I had to.
Like it is 2016.
Like I have bills.
Like I am not above doing what works before it looks impressive.

I do not need a head start.

I need a plan.
And I would make one fast.
