Meta Ad Remarketing Strategy
Is remarketing outdated or just misunderstood? Jon Loomer agrees that, in most cases, it's no longer essential. Meta's algorithm is smarter now. It knows who's likely to convert, often better than we do.
But he also outlines one powerful exception and walks through a low-cost, high-impact approach that taps into old school strategy with new tools for reach-optimized ads, custom audiences, and ad sequencing tailored to your warmest prospects.
If your business relies on nurturing the right buyers over time, this could be the strategic edge you've been overlooking. Listen to more here.
Driving Qualified Leads With LinkedIn Content: A Proven Formula
The core of this lead generation strategy revolves around what McEwen calls niche problem posts. These posts follow a specific structure designed to get prospects nodding their heads in recognition, thinking "That's me" as they read.
The format breaks down to approximately 80% problem identification and 20% solution presentation. The primary goal is getting prospects to have that emotional recognition moment where they see themselves clearly reflected in the problem you're describing.
Focus on one niche problem post per week if you're posting five times weekly, or increase the frequency to one in three if you post less often. These shouldn't comprise your entire content strategy—mix them with personal stories, industry insights, and lighter content that shows your human side.
Before implementing any content strategy, you must establish crucial foundational elements. Everything else will fail without these fundamentals in place.
First, you need to know your ideal customer profile inside and out. This goes beyond basic demographics to understanding what keeps them awake at night and their specific pain points. You need to be crystal clear on who your perfect customer is, what challenges they face, and what drives their decision-making.
An effective method for gathering this intelligence involves using AI tools to analyze your customer interactions. Take transcripts from all your past sales calls and customer conversations, then feed them into your preferred AI tool. Ask the AI to identify common themes, frequently asked questions, biggest pain points and challenges, and patterns that emerge consistently across conversations.
Second, your LinkedIn profile must speak directly to that ideal customer. Transform your profile into a mini landing page that clearly communicates the value you provide to people and businesses like them, along with the results you've achieved for similar clients. This isn't about showcasing how amazing you are—it's about demonstrating exactly how you help people like your prospects and why they should trust you. Back this up with case studies, testimonials, and concrete evidence of your expertise.
Finally, you need a legitimate, proven offer and a sales funnel to move prospects through your process. This means having an offer that people have actually purchased before, something tested and proven to work, along with a systematic way to guide prospects from initial interest to final purchase.
How to Format and Style Niche Problem Posts
These niche problem posts work best as text-only content without images or videos, so prospects focus entirely on the message without visual elements pulling their attention away.
Keep your posts between 300-350 words on average. While this might seem long for social media, it's necessary to properly develop the problem-symptom-solution sequence.
Dense text blocks perform poorly on mobile devices, where most LinkedIn consumption happens, so each major point should have visual separation to improve readability and comprehension. Break the post content into short paragraphs, often just one or two sentences each, to make skimming easy on mobile devices.
Bold any key phrases and bullet points to help important information stand out when people skim. Since LinkedIn doesn't provide native formatting options, you can search for a LinkedIn text formatter or use sites like LingoJam to generate formatted text you can paste into your posts.
In your post, use the language your ideal customers actually use. Don't use your internal jargon or marketing speak—use the exact phrases and words your prospects use when describing their challenges.
McEwen's team developed its approach by analyzing sales call transcripts and customer conversations to identify patterns. They spent hours dissecting this information with AI, having back-and-forth conversations to refine their understanding. This wasn't a quick five-minute process—it required substantial time investment working with team members to go through findings line by line, testing different approaches, and iterating on the messaging.
For example, in targeting sales teams struggling with cold outreach, they identified "spray and pray" as a universally recognized problem term in that industry. Everyone in sales knows what spray and pray means—blasting out generic messages without targeting or personalization. They could then frame posts around this familiar concept while introducing their own terminology for the solution.
Pro Tip: If you're using AI to create your ad copy, this requires telling your AI tools specifically to use the exact same words and phrases that your customers use. If you don't, the AI will paraphrase and return imprecise language.
