In April 2020, after my video production agency crashed and burned due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and with our twin boys due to be born in June, I had the time (and the pressure) to really focus on advertising my wife’s books.

And Facebook Ads was my platform of choice.

But it was tough-going.

And although things are going great now, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows from Day 1 with our Facebook Ads; far from it.

I struggled with them. A lot.

• All the Facebook Ads lingo
• The Campaign Structure
• The Targeting options
• Creating scroll-stopping images
• Writing engaging Ad Copy
• The list goes on

I cringe when I look at back at the first Facebook Ads I ran for Lori’s books. Here’s one of them:

At the same time, I smile, because I can see how far I’ve come when I look at the Ads I’m running today; here’s an example:

I’ve spent a lot of money on Facebook Ads ($150,000+), but we’ve earned back more than twice what we’ve spent on them.

Sure, there was wasted Ad Spend in there, but I can, with full confidence share with you, that Facebook Ads are THE reason why my wife is a full-time, six-figure author today.

I'm not for a minute saying that the books didn't play a role in my wife's success.

They played a huge role because no amount of advertising is going to sell a poor-quality book. 

It takes Lori 12 months to write book; yes, she's a slow writer, but the quality of her writing shows through in the results we've been able to achieve.

Writing great books that readers become engrossed in, share with their friends and family, and all the other aspects that go along with being a self-published author is paramount to your success.

In terms of generating traffic and getting eyeballs on the books, Facebook Ads has been our biggest leverage point.

Facebook Ads can help YOU:

• Drive more book sales
• Generate more Page Reads
• Build your audience of raving-fans

I’ve done it my wife’s books, I’ve helped 1000’s of other self-published authors do it with their books, and now I want to help YOU do the same.

Hey, I'm Matt,

My name's Matt Holmes and inside Jumpstart Facebook Ads For Authors, I’m going to reveal how I use Facebook Ads to drive thousands of book sales, millions of Page Reads and five figures in Royalties every single month.

The system I'm going to share with you is both highly scalable AND takes just 60-90 minutes per week to manage.

Look, I'll be brutally honest with you, my wife and I aren’t millionaires, BUT, we have built a healthy six-figure author business with 4 books.

And it’s allowed us to spend time as a family every single day, my wife to fulfill her dream of becoming a full-time author and living in our dream house in the British countryside.

A big part of our “success” (which is subjective), has been Facebook Ads. And, given the possibilities it offers, I would love to help YOU achieve your dreams, goals, and aspirations as an author by using Facebook Ads to position your books in front of your ideal readers.

It feels like I’m boasting, which I’m not… but, I am willing to take that hit to ease your worries about investing in a product of mine.

I just want to show you what’s possible when you put your mind to something, follow your dreams, and really commit.

Focus. This is the core ingredient you need to see success from Facebook Ads.

Commit to Facebook Ads for at least 90 days, with zero distractions.

If you do this, I know you’ll be so far ahead of where you would have been had you consistently switched tactics, jumped from shiny object to shiny object, and followed the latest fads you saw in a Facebook Group, that will, most likely, be here today, gone tomorrow.

Of course, you still need to write, do all the other things involved in running your author business, and live your life, but from a traffic generation perspective, focus on Facebook Ads for at least 90 days and you WILL see results.

Many authors are worried about missing out on some new platform or strategy that is all the rage right now, and spread their time, energy, focus and budget, so thin, that they make little to no progress in any aspect of their marketing, rather than immense progress in one area.

Becoming a full-time authors requires more than just writing books:

• Marketing
• Advertising
• Audience Building
• Newsletters
• Accounts and Taxes
• The list goes on…

And setting up a Facebook Ads Campaign is relatively straightforward. Within 5-10 minutes you could have a Facebook Ad up and running; it really doesn’t take long.

But without all the other pieces in place, your Facebook Ads are going to fall flat on their face.

Facebook Ads is just an amplification tool. That’s all it is.

A way to position your books in front of your ideal readers.

No matter how great your Ads are though, your books need to sell your books.

And this is achieved by, first off, writing a great book, but that goes without saying.

You also need to write an enticing blurb (book description), have a professional on-genre book cover, a manuscript that is well formatted, and free of spelling and grammar errors, as well as, raving reviews and ratings from readers.

Without these, no matter how great your Facebook Ads are, your books won’t sell.

And then there’s all the other tasks involved in running an author business. There’s a lot to do and keep on top of, no doubt about it.

But, if you can know with certainty that your Facebook Ads are running like clockwork, bringing new readers into your world every single day, that’s one less piece of the pie to worry about.

Facebook Ads are far from a set-it-and-forget-it solution, but if you can find just 1-2 hours per week, that’s all you need to optimize and scale your Facebook Ads.

In the early days of running Facebook Ads for my wife’s books, I didn’t have a system, and it showed. After a few months, yes, we were profitable, but I just couldn’t scale past a certain point.

And, in full transparency, I was winging it.

I was in the Facebook Ads dashboard every single day, sometimes for 4-6 hours at a time, just messing around, really, but in the process, cannibalising our results.

My thinking at the time was very much like the exchanging time for money scenario that the employment system is built on (i.e. more hours equals more money); the more I do, the better my results.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.

You need a system to follow. A repeatable process that you run through week in, week out.

After several months of complete and utter burnout, I finally built a system that was working for us, and our royalties more than doubled when I implemented it.

And it was as a result of doing less, not more.

Or, to put it another way, I was doing less, but doing it better.

Unfortunately, many authors “fail” with Facebook Ads because they don’t have a simple, replicable system they can follow. They are just like I once was… winging it.

In reality, there is just one area of Facebook Ads to focus on:

Your Ad Creative (i.e the Ads people see on their Facebook Feed).

Nail this, and readers will start to take notice (as will the Amazon algorithm when your books start selling like hot cakes).

It was only since I’ve had a system in place for our Facebook Ads that we are now able to consistently have five-figure months in royalties from Lori’s books.

I’m going to let you know right up front, that the system I share with you inside Jumpstart Facebook Ads For Authors is going to challenge your way of thinking, especially if you’ve been running Facebook Ads for some time.

So many authors focus on the targeting for their Facebook Ads, and then wonder why their Ads don’t work.

The targeting has nothing to do with the success of your Facebook Ads.

It’s your Ad Creative itself that is the fundamental building block that will turn your Facebook Ads from burning a hole in your pocket, to becoming the most profitable traffic generation tool in your arsenal.

And creating Facebook Ads that do this, yes, takes time, but it’s the ONLY way you will see success.

So, stop fretting about which audience you need to target next, and instead, focus on improving your skills creating better Ads.

I recently read that the average social media user scrolls the height of The Eiffel Tower every single day. That’s a lot of scrolling!

Knowing this should force you to focus on creating better Ads and stopping the scroll. That’s how you win. That’s the only way to win.

Attention is the new currency online.

But to attract that attention, you need to hone your skills at creating Ads that stop readers in their tracks and entice them to take action.

This takes time, but if you commit, and work on your craft as an advertiser (as that’s one of the hats you need to wear as a self-published author), you will reap the rewards, I promise you that.

But it’s all well and good showing you our wins.

The real question is, will this work for you and your books?

This isn’t a writing course. Instead, it’s a course for self-published authors who want to turn their writing into a full-time career, using Facebook Ads as the key traffic generator.

It’s a full high-quality, actionable, zero fluff video course, giving you the exact strategy and tools I use day in, day out, that you need to succeed in 2023 and beyond.
