Are you ready to take your business to the next level? One powerful way to do that is by growing your email list through paid advertising online. Paid media allows you to promote your products or services to a specific group of people, increasing your chances of getting new contacts for your email list.


Which kinds of paid media should I use?


There are lots of options for you to choose from when selecting which paid media you want to use to build your contact list. Use this list to help you decide which platform is right for you.

 

 

  • Facebook Ads – With over 2.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook is a goldmine for businesses. You can create highly targeted ads based on demographics, interests, and behaviors, ensuring that your message reaches the right people. Plus, Facebook's ad platform provides detailed analytics, so you can track the performance of your ads and make necessary adjustments.
  • Instagram Ads – With its visually appealing platform, Instagram is perfect for showcasing your products or services. You can create stunning image or video ads that seamlessly blend into users' feeds, increasing the chances of engagement. And just like Facebook, Instagram allows you to target specific audiences, ensuring that your ads are seen by the right people.

 

 

  • Google Ads – A pay-per-click platform that allows you to place ads for your website on a search engine results page. These ads show up right at the top of Google search results and can be a great way to generate traffic, especially when you're just starting out. One of the biggest advantages of Google Ads is that it targets and reaches people precisely at the moment when they're most interested. So, as long as you bid on the right keywords for your industry, you can get in front of potential customers when they're actively looking for what you offer.

 

 

  • Facebook & Instagram Lead Ads - A Facebook or Instagram lead ad is a specially crafted advertising campaign aimed at generating interest in your products or services. It bears resemblance to your sponsored and organic posts, but its primary objective is to encourage signups for your contact list. Similar to other sponsored posts, you have the ability to target specific audiences for your lead-generation ads based on their interests and demographics. However, these ads take it a step further by providing instant forms that potential leads can conveniently fill out to join your email and SMS contact lists.

 

How do I get people to notice my ads?

 

Before you put down your hard-earned money to send an ad out into the world, it's a good idea to make sure you're optimizing the effectiveness of the ad, whether it's a standard ad or lead generation. Compelling visuals, concise messaging, and a clear call-to-action are all musts when trying to draw attention.
