Get previous visitors coming back and first-time customers buying again.
RegisterHow Facebook ads are powering a Shopify store to $59 million in revenue.
Facebook ads have powered the growth of hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world. One of those skyrocketing success stories is BOOM! By Cindy Joseph.
In this course, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how BOOM! cofounder Ezra Firestone uses Facebook advertising to strengthen his sales funnel and convert casual visitors into repeat customers.
This beginner Facebook advertising course introduces you to the Facebook Ads Manager and helps you create your first ad campaign. You’ll start by creating a retargeting campaign which shows ads to everyone who’s visited your website but didn’t purchase. Then, you’ll create a loyalty campaign that displays to all of your existing customers, enticing them to come back.
Whether or not you’ve earned your first customer, or even your first visitor, it’s vital that you start here to get familiar with the Facebook Ads Manager and build a sales funnel that captures the right people’s attention at the right time.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to take this course before taking the advanced course?
Technically, no. But we strongly recommend you start with the beginner course. Ezra designed these courses specifically to work one after the other. You start by strengthening your sales funnel with retargeting and loyalty campaigns. Then you move on to the advanced course (summer 2019), where you learn about getting new traffic to your online store
Is this for Facebook advertising or Instagram advertising?
Both. Facebook owns Instagram and the audience data for both is tightly intertwined. That means the Facebook ad platform can easily target Instagram users. Most of what you learn will easily apply to advertising on both platforms but there are a few platform-specific suggestions we make in the course
How much will I need to spend on advertising?
That depends on a lot of variables but Ezra and Shopify Academy have designed this course to be accessible as possible. Ezra offers a number of different campaign strategies that start with just a $5 per day investment
