Options include targeting people from your Facebook pixel, engaged users, app activity, or uploaded customer lists. - **Uploading Email Lists** [01:15] — You can upload a file or copy-paste emails from your mailing list (e.g., MailChimp) to create a targeted audience. - **Scraping Emails from Facebook Groups** [02:00] — Using a tool like 'Email Finder', you can paste a Facebook group URL to scrape members' emails. The video shows an example with 'Your Masters Academy' group, extracting 409 emails. - **Ethical Considerations** [03:00] — The presenter notes that scraping emails is not entirely ethical but claims it's a tactic used by 'experts' to improve ad targeting and ROI. ### Conclusion Using email lists, whether from your own database or scraped from groups, can significantly improve Facebook ad targeting, but ethical and legal boundaries should be considered. ## Transcript okay so just a quick video and to show you how to become a wee bit more targeted with your Facebook ads so as abyss disgustingly energies above you can upload email lists and stuff like that to become even more targeted so first of all you go to your dad's Manny John as described and then you'll be faced with that dashboard that looks like this and you've got to put in your marketing objective so my marketing objectives to get traffic on to my websites also like that so just select traffic and it will obviously ask the options here and definitely you know I can I mean for your campaign we're gonna call it traffic I want people to come to the website and then you get this audience tab here now what you can do is create a new audience and I want not be a custom audience you'll be faced with a tab like this so you can obviously target people who've used your Facebook pixel which is giddy and so your Facebook pet stores people's data and allows you to save ads to those people who have actually been in your website and you've got a couple of other options here which are you know people of engaging your content and Facebook and Instagram you know other people have you know you've created a list you know through for no other offline channels or whatever app activity if you get an app you can target people using that or you can add customers from your mailing list from MailChimp or whatever you choose the views or you can copy and paste beta and upload your file via and basically uploaded beer and that said agree to terms conditions and you know Bob's your uncle you can email it you can add everyone's email there to have a much more targeted list know what I'm gonna do is show you she may go I've not got a gate list you know it's not bad you know what don't do a lot in your marking and whatever no this is not entirely ethical so not shopping less than anyone's throat but just want to make people aware that there are two such as their salutely are we are I can basically go to any group on Facebook and get people's emails from it so for example I will just for those video I went to the group s your masters Academy and put the URL into this too and it gets me everyone's email via pages in pleading please 409 to one of them and at the push of a button so you simply go to email finder stick the URL in here and you can basically scrape people's emails the up mmm you know not entirely ethical but you can become very very targeted you can think outside the box and you and can become very creative what Facebook advertising is way also if you often want them what do these other guys do they claim to be experts that maybe you're not doing it's things like this that they're doing to become even more targeted to make sure that you get a return on your investment for your Facebook ads and that is just another Kiwi trick doesn't load your tools like that's the other can escape Facebook and three meals you would have to find one that suits you and you can dabble in that as well so you can faintin the whole targeting process even further by using something along the lines of this or you can generally just use your email marketing list if you've got a nice les theater you know relevant people who are potentially going to buy from you so that is just another cool we tap view that I thought I'd share with you guys or eight
