- 0:00I've spent over $300 million on meta
- 0:02ads, and these are the eight hacks that
- 0:04I wish I knew sooner. Starting with hack
- 0:06number one, and this is a thing that
- 0:08nobody's talking about, and it's the
- 0:10exact reason why your video ads are
- 0:12tanking right now. Everybody thinks that
- 0:14you need slick video ads and UGC
- 0:17creatives in order to crush it on meta
- 0:19ads in 2026. And they couldn't be more
- 0:21wrong. Everyone looks at my video ads or
- 0:23look at other people's video ads and
- 0:25think, man, that's exactly what I need
- 0:27to do in order to scale. But you see,
- 0:29since Meta launched Andromeda, this
- 0:31thing is a hungry panda, and you need to
- 0:35feed it with an absolutely absurd amount
- 0:38of fresh creatives in order for your ads
- 0:40not to fatigue. It is so hard to produce
- 0:42the volume of video that is required in
- 0:45order to have your ads not fatigue. Take
- 0:47for instance my own ad account. I have
- 0:49over 17 VSSLs that I am running right
- 0:53now as ads. And that is just an absurd
- 0:56amount of volume. However, I can run
- 0:58thousands of different static ads much
- 1:00cheaper and much quicker than producing
- 1:03videos. And so, if I had to pick on one
- 1:05type of creative format to do, whether
- 1:07video or statics, I would pick statics
- 1:10all day of the week. I have an entire
- 1:13creative team and it is still a
- 1:14challenge for me to pump out the volume
- 1:16of video creative that I need to
- 1:19actually feed the ad account at the
- 1:21scale that I'm running. One way to do
- 1:22that is using my platform Kong where you
- 1:25can basically at a click of a button
- 1:27produce a 180 headlines, two body copy
- 1:31variations, and then you can go and
- 1:32basically pick from a whole library of
- 1:35proven ad creatives. Another reason that
- 1:37statics in my opinion are superior to
- 1:40videos. Facebook realized that there's
- 1:42only so many video ads that they can
- 1:44show each user per session on Facebook.
- 1:47And so their algorithm is actually has a
- 1:49bias towards static ads because they can
- 1:51show way more statics to people within
- 1:54one session of Facebook. And so that's
- 1:56what they're optimized for, right? They
- 1:57are a business optimizing for revenue.
- 1:59If they can show more ads to the same
- 2:02person on the news feed, you're going to
- 2:03basically be the one that's going to
- 2:05benefit from that. I spent weeks and
- 2:07weeks in pre-production and planning and
- 2:09shooting and then had my video team edit
- 2:11these super high polished VSSLs. Then I
- 2:14looked at my ad account and I can see
- 2:16that there's these down and dirty native
- 2:18statics that I've created that literally
- 2:20are outperforming a VSSL that took 2 and
- 2:241/2 months to produce. And that's why
- 2:26I'm so bullish on statics. So this is
- 2:28how you can apply this specifically to
- 2:30your business. go over to whatever
- 2:32calendar that you use to manage your
- 2:34week and dedicate one hour per week
- 2:36where you take your winning offer, your
- 2:38winning product or service, and you have
- 2:40one hour that you dedicate to creating
- 2:42fresh creatives every single week. Which
- 2:45brings us to hack number two. And this
- 2:48one is a filthy little one that I have
- 2:50recently found out that goes absolutely
- 2:53wild. So, everyone knows about finding
- 2:56your winning creative or your winning
- 2:58ad. But what most people don't know is
- 3:00that with Andromeda, it is looking and
- 3:02analyzing your image, your copy, your
- 3:05offer, your landing page, and all it's
- 3:07trying to do is find that person to
- 3:10serve them your ad. So, if you want to
- 3:12target different people, you actually
- 3:14have to put that in the creative and in
- 3:16the body copy. So what I do is I get my
- 3:18best winning ad and then I have a look
- 3:20at what are the 20% of clients that
- 3:22represent 80% of the revenue in my
- 3:24business. I look at the niches that they
- 3:26operate in and then I basically put
- 3:28those niches in the headline or the body
- 3:31copy of the ad. Here's how to get 462
- 3:34leads per week on autopilot. Then it
- 3:37might be here's how to get 462 dental
- 3:40leads on autopilot, lawyer leads,
- 3:42property investment leads, whatever the
- 3:44niches are that you specifically want to
- 3:46target. You simply just take your
- 3:47winning ad, you duplicate it out, and
- 3:49you insert that keyword. This thing
- 3:51alone will dramatically drop your cost
- 3:53per lead, and it will open up different
- 3:55pockets of audiences on Meta that if you
- 3:58just had a generic ad, you would not be
- 4:00able to reach. It's not some magic word.
- 4:02It is a category word that is what we
- 4:05call an identity trigger and it also
- 4:07feeds the algorithm to know who it
- 4:09should be going out there and looking
- 4:10for. But the number one thing that you
- 4:12must understand when it comes to meta
- 4:14ads is that you are not selling your
- 4:16product. You are not selling your
- 4:17service. All we're trying to do is
- 4:19funnel as many of the people that would
- 4:21be applicable to whatever it is that
- 4:23we're selling and bringing as many of
- 4:25them as we can to our landing pages. So
- 4:28this is what I want you to do right now.
- 4:29As soon as you finish watching this
- 4:31video, I want you to go over to your ads
- 4:33manager and I want you to find your
- 4:34winning ad. Then I want you to duplicate
- 4:36that ad out and just add either a
- 4:39demographic to that ad or add a specific
- 4:42keyword for the industry that it is that
- 4:44you want to target. Then you launch
- 4:45those bad boys, go in, look at your CTR,
- 4:48you'll see that performance is
- 4:50dramatically better. And that is hack
- 4:52number two, the one keyword hack. All
- 4:54righty. So that's playing the game on
- 4:56like beginner mode. Now, let me show you
- 4:58how to really scale this thing up and
- 5:00absolutely rinse your meta ad account,
- 5:04which brings us to hack number three.
- 5:06So, here's what most people do. They
- 5:08find their winning ad. They turn off all
- 5:11the other ads in the ad set that aren't
- 5:13performing as good as the winner, and
- 5:14then they're like, "Let me just ride
- 5:16this one all the way home. And then they
- 5:18start scaling their ad, and then it
- 5:20fatigues, and it dies, and they've
- 5:22rested all of their performance on this
- 5:24one winner. This is amateur hour. This
- 5:26is the last thing that you want to do.
- 5:28Instead, once you find that winning ad,
- 5:31take that ad and we want to pump it into
- 5:34AI. Either Claude, Kong, Chad, Jibit,
- 5:38whoever it is that you want to use to do
- 5:39it, just do it. Then what we're going to
- 5:41do is we're going to spit out hundreds
- 5:43of different variations. And the way
- 5:45that I like to do this is I give it my
- 5:47winning ad and then I say, "Okay, I want
- 5:49you to read this ad and I want you to be
- 5:52the author. If we show the next ad, I'm
- 5:54going to ask you to write to 100 people.
- 5:57Not one in a 100red would be able to
- 5:59tell you that this is written by a
- 6:00different person. That is the premise.
- 6:02And now we get to cook. Then we start to
- 6:04prompt it and say, "Okay, now write this
- 6:06for 25year-old women. Write it for a
- 6:0830-year-old woman." Now, when you read
- 6:11it, it should pretty much read exactly
- 6:13the same, but there should be certain
- 6:14things on there that relate to that
- 6:16person that it is that we're trying to
- 6:18target. The best way to do this is to
- 6:20one, start with your body copy. to apply
- 6:22that same strategy to your headlines and
- 6:25then move forward to your creative. And
- 6:27then typically you take all of those
- 6:28winning ad creatives, you chuck them in
- 6:30a CBO, you let Facebook's AI do its
- 6:33thing and it's going to basically pivot
- 6:35the spend towards the creatives that are
- 6:37getting the best results in your
- 6:38campaign. Now, this hasn't always been
- 6:41perfect. Often times, you would do it
- 6:42and then there'd be a whole bunch of ads
- 6:44in that campaign that wouldn't spend. I
- 6:46take all of those ads that get no spend,
- 6:49but I have high conviction around that
- 6:51they are good ads, and then I launch
- 6:53something called a zombie campaign,
- 6:54where I take all of those dead ads, put
- 6:56them into an ad set, and then I launch
- 6:58those. And then typically, I can juice
- 7:00out another 20% of ads that are all
- 7:02winners there. And that is hack number
- 7:04three, the winning format clone.
- 7:06However, everything that I've given you
- 7:08so far is absolutely worthless unless
- 7:10you get this next step right. Because if
- 7:12your ads look like ads, then they are
- 7:15already dead on arrival. Let me tell you
- 7:18a story that is just far too common that
- 7:20I hear every single day. Somebody sits
- 7:22down, they're putting together their
- 7:24meta ads, and the first thing that they
- 7:26think about is, "Mubry, how do I make my
- 7:29ad pop off the feed? I want it to really
- 7:31stand out and like hijack people's
- 7:33attention." And guess what people hate
- 7:35more than anything is ads. That's why
- 7:37there are hundreds of millions of people
- 7:39that have downloaded and installed ad
- 7:42blockers. So instead of making our ads
- 7:44look like ads, we are going to do the
- 7:46absolute opposite. And we are going to
- 7:48look at what is the type of content that
- 7:50people are natively consuming on these
- 7:52platforms. I am running a 46-inute
- 7:55YouTube video with minimal editing right
- 7:57now. it's got, you know, millions of
- 7:59views organically on YouTube and I'm
- 8:01taking that winning creative and then
- 8:02I'm just running that as an ad because I
- 8:04already know that that content bangs
- 8:06organically. It's already proven it with
- 8:08millions of views organically. So then
- 8:10what I'm doing is I'm just moving that
- 8:12over to the paid ads engine, pouring
- 8:14gasoline on it, and lighting that puppy
- 8:15on fire and letting it scale. And that's
- 8:18exactly what it is that you want to do.
- 8:19You might not have a video on YouTube
- 8:21that's got millions of views. That's
- 8:22okay. Just look at what is the native
- 8:26content that people are consuming in
- 8:28your niche already. Another quick hack
- 8:30to do is you can create what we call a
- 8:32burner account. So you basically sign up
- 8:34for a clean slate Tik Tok and Instagram
- 8:37account and then go follow all the
- 8:39different influencers and pages in your
- 8:41niche and like their content. Then every
- 8:43time you log into that burner account,
- 8:45you're going to basically see the most
- 8:47popular content in your niche rise to
- 8:49the top of your news feed. And if that's
- 8:51what's getting promoted in the
- 8:52algorithm, then that's exactly the type
- 8:54of ads that you want to produce and then
- 8:56run them as paid ads. And I can
- 8:58guarantee you that this will outperform
- 9:00your current best performing ad, which
- 9:02is hack number four. Don't make your ads
- 9:06look like ads. All right, so now I'm
- 9:08going to show you how to target buyers
- 9:10that your competitors don't even know
- 9:12exist. So when it comes to meta ads,
- 9:14people usually approach it in one of two
- 9:16ways. The first way is they try to get
- 9:18super laser targeted with the type of
- 9:21people that they're trying to target and
- 9:22they do basically what we call interest
- 9:24stacking. They take all the interests in
- 9:26the niche. They like golf. They like
- 9:27Mercedes-Benz and they stack all of
- 9:29those things up and they're like, "Man,
- 9:31that is one ultra layered targeting and
- 9:34I'm going to find only the best buyers."
- 9:36Then you have the second school where
- 9:38these guys are just like, "Pick a
- 9:39country, go yolo, and target them." But
- 9:42this is where most people get it wrong.
- 9:44They don't understand that the more
- 9:45context that it is that you give meta,
- 9:48the better that they can actually go out
- 9:49and find those people because the
- 9:51creative is the targeting now. But most
- 9:54people they run short form copy. It's a
- 9:56very basic ad. Therefore, the context
- 9:59window that Meta has is very very small.
- 10:01So instead, what I like to do is I like
- 10:04to basically have very long form copy
- 10:06that literally gives the algorithm so
- 10:09much data of exactly who it is that I'm
- 10:12trying to target so that they can go out
- 10:14and find those people because if they
- 10:15have a limited context window for your
- 10:17ads, then the amount of people that they
- 10:19can target for that creative is also
- 10:21going to be limited. So stop trying to
- 10:24outsmart the targeting. And the most
- 10:26highest paid engineers that have one
- 10:28incentive, which is to get your ad in
- 10:30front of the right people. So you keep
- 10:32on feeding it Zuck bucks. You're not
- 10:34going to beat these guys. So let the
- 10:36algorithm do all the heavy lifting and
- 10:38spend all your time and energy on
- 10:40producing creative. However, don't
- 10:42believe me. What I want you to do right
- 10:44now is to go into your ad account to
- 10:46find your best winning creative that you
- 10:48probably got a bunch of interest
- 10:49stacking on there and duplicate that ad
- 10:51and put no targeting. So just pick
- 10:53Australia, just pick America, just pick
- 10:55the UK for instance, and let that puppy
- 10:58cook. Let both of those ads run side by
- 11:00side. your interest stacking versus your
- 11:02broad and then in 7 days time go and
- 11:04have a look at your CPAs and you will be
- 11:07shocked and that is hack number five.
- 11:09Broad targeting with super specific
- 11:12creative is the new meta. Okay, so this
- 11:15next hack is exactly what happens after
- 11:18you actually get somebody to click
- 11:20because most advertisers they spend 90%
- 11:23of their effort on the actual ads and
- 11:25only 10% on optimizing their landing
- 11:27pages. And this is a huge mistake
- 11:30because if there isn't congruence based
- 11:32on what they clicked on to what they see
- 11:34on the landing page, they're just going
- 11:35to dip, right? You're going to have a
- 11:36very high bounce rate. You might be
- 11:38getting super high CTRs, low cost per
- 11:40clicks from your actual ads, but your
- 11:42CPAs and your conversion rates will be
- 11:44in the toilet because it doesn't match
- 11:47that scent. So, this is what I like to
- 11:49do. Meta is the best split testing tool
- 11:53that exists on planet Earth. your
- 11:55headlines are exposed to, you know,
- 11:57usually a thousand times the amount of
- 12:00people that actually click on your
- 12:02landing page. So therefore, you're
- 12:03getting so much more statistical
- 12:05significant data based on which
- 12:07headlines work. So I'll be running, you
- 12:09know, 20, 30, 40 different headlines for
- 12:12an ad variant. Then I'm going to find
- 12:13what the best performing headline is.
- 12:16I'm going to take that headline and I'm
- 12:17going to mirror that on my actual
- 12:19landing page. When I do this, I usually
- 12:22increase the conversion rate by a bare
- 12:24minimum of 15 to 20%. Just that one
- 12:27thing, not only in the headline, but in
- 12:29the sub headline and also the leadin of
- 12:31that copy. I have a rule at any given
- 12:34time, I have to have at least three
- 12:36split tests running. Otherwise, I have a
- 12:38severe sense of anxiety. What you want
- 12:40to always make sure that you're doing is
- 12:42taking your insights from your best
- 12:44performing ads and making them present
- 12:46on your landing page and then running
- 12:48them as split tests to just inch out 10,
- 12:5020, 30% higher conversion rates across
- 12:53the board. So, what you want to do right
- 12:54now is open up your ads account, have a
- 12:56look at your top three performing ads,
- 12:59and look at the headline of the ad and
- 13:00the headline of that page side by side.
- 13:03And if it doesn't match, if they aren't
- 13:05congruent, fix it within 24 hours. Look
- 13:07at your conversion rates and thank
- 13:09daddy. And that is hack number six.
- 13:12Match your ad to your landing page.
- 13:15Okay, so now let's talk about how to
- 13:17turn every $1 that you spend on ads into
- 13:20$3 or $5. Think about it this way,
- 13:22right? You've run an ad, you sent people
- 13:24to a landing page and they haven't
- 13:26bought. And then what you're doing is
- 13:27you're like, you should just buy. Like
- 13:29I'm just going to serve that people with
- 13:30more ads. There is a reason why that
- 13:32person didn't buy. So you want to think
- 13:35about what are the reasons that people
- 13:37don't buy. The number one reason why
- 13:40people didn't buy is that that offer
- 13:42wasn't right for them. Their product
- 13:43wasn't right. That service wasn't right.
- 13:45So what I like to do is if I've got
- 13:46multiple products or service, I like to
- 13:49retarget that audience with different
- 13:51offers. And you will be shocked at how
- 13:53good this works. Somebody might be
- 13:55coming in for one thing. You'll be like,
- 13:56"Hey, they're only in the market for
- 13:58protein powder cuz that's what they
- 13:59click on." You might be at like a two or
- 14:01a three rorowaz for your protein powder.
- 14:03Then you start retargeting the people
- 14:04that didn't buy on that page with
- 14:06creatine. And you'll see maybe you're at
- 14:08a six row. I know it doesn't really make
- 14:10sense, but just trust me and thank me
- 14:12later. All right, it's time for the deep
- 14:14source. So this is what retargeting
- 14:16campaign looks for our clients. Exactly
- 14:19what we want to be doing is we're going
- 14:20to have our top offunnel ad. We're going
- 14:21to be sending them through to a landing
- 14:23page. Then in an ideal world, they are
- 14:26running one of my kinds of funnel,
- 14:27right? A high value content offer. And
- 14:29the reason that we do this is for
- 14:31multiple reasons, but the most important
- 14:33one is because we get so much intel from
- 14:35the market. Because we outbound call
- 14:37every person that downloads one of our
- 14:39free reports, we get them on the phone
- 14:41and we find out all their pains and
- 14:44fears, hopes and dreams, why didn't they
- 14:46book a phone call in us? Why they didn't
- 14:48buy? We take all those things and the
- 14:50first ad that we like to put together is
- 14:52an objection handling ad. We take all
- 14:54the reasons that they didn't book in a
- 14:56phone call. Then we need to address
- 14:57that. Then in addition to that, we're
- 14:59going to take proof testimonial ads.
- 15:01We're going to run them as carousel ads
- 15:03where we retarget those audiences and
- 15:05basically show them more proof that all
- 15:08the claims that we've been making in our
- 15:09ads actually deliver. Then we're going
- 15:11to have a third component. The third
- 15:13component is where we take up other
- 15:15subsequent offers, services, products
- 15:17that we could sell them and we're going
- 15:19to put them all into a CBO of our best
- 15:21performing ads for all of those products
- 15:23and we're going to retarget them as well
- 15:25also to those audiences. you do that,
- 15:27you will be printing. And then the last
- 15:30one is a audit of some description,
- 15:32something where you dress up your call
- 15:35of value in itself where whether or not
- 15:37these people buy, they are going to walk
- 15:38away from that phone call with some
- 15:41piece of value. Do that now and enjoy
- 15:43the upside. And that is hack number
- 15:45seven. Retarget with a different offer.
- 15:48All righty. So, this last hack, this is
- 15:50a thing that separates people that run
- 15:52ads versus people that run businesses. I
- 15:55spoke to a dude this morning who was at
- 15:58a 40 rorowaz and I'm like bro why are
- 16:01you not spending more money? He's like
- 16:03oh I just I I I don't know. But then
- 16:05more often than not when I then convince
- 16:07somebody to spend more money what they
- 16:09say is oh I tried spending more sub but
- 16:12the cost per lead went up to 50 bucks or
- 16:14my rorowaz went from a 15 down to an 11.
- 16:18And I'm like okay cool but did you make
- 16:20more money within a 30-day period? and
- 16:22they're like, "Yeah, but the rorowaz
- 16:24number as a percentage went down."
- 16:26>> Who cares? With a rorowaz percentage, I
- 16:28need that net cash. What you really want
- 16:31to be doing is looking at what the
- 16:33blended rorowaz is, not on an ad account
- 16:35level, but on a business level. And
- 16:37that's the thing that you're optimizing.
- 16:39But even more important than blended
- 16:41rorowaz is realistically net free cash
- 16:44flow. What you want to do is find what
- 16:45that break even rorowaz is. What is a
- 16:48realistic number that you can spend as
- 16:50the maximum to acquire a customer? And
- 16:52you want to keep feeding the beast until
- 16:54you get close to that number. You want
- 16:56to scale your ads as hard as you
- 16:58possibly can. Even if the rorowaz goes
- 17:00down from a 10 to a five, but the
- 17:02difference is between spending a,000
- 17:04bucks a month to spending a h 100red
- 17:05grand a month. You make so much more
- 17:08money at the end of the day. The only
- 17:10way that you get confidence to scale a
- 17:12business is based on data. And you want
- 17:14to make sure that the integrity of your
- 17:16data is sound. Data gives you
- 17:18confidence. And if you have confidence,
- 17:20you move with speed and conviction. And
- 17:22that is the way that you go out there
- 17:24and literally wipe the floor with the
- 17:26competitors and take the market. Another
- 17:28very tactical thing that you can apply
- 17:30is block out 3 hours a month in your
- 17:33calendar to just look at your numbers.
- 17:35Looking at the numbers, feeling them,
- 17:37smelling them, actually knowing them.
- 17:39Not what your data analyst says, not
- 17:41what your media bias says. you
- 17:44physically going in and verifying the
- 17:46data yourself. The level of confidence
- 17:48that that gives you, it is very, very
- 17:49rare that there is another activity that
- 17:51you can do inside your business that's
- 17:53going to be more impactful than this.
- 17:55And that's hack number eight. Track the
- 17:57metric that actually matters. And these
- 18:00are the eight hacks that I wish I knew
- 18:02sooner. Now, you might be thinking like,
