The Bring Your Product Idea To Life Podcast is perfect for anyone just starting out in product sales or looking to create their own product to sell. I’m Vicki Weinberg, a product creation coach and Amazon expert, here every week with friendly, practical advice and inspiring stories from small businesses.
Mel is an experienced Meta marketer, helping product brands maximise their sales and leads through Facebook ads and chat funnels.
As well as working with ecommerce brands to scale their sales through ads, Mel is also known as the 'Manychat queen' - helping businesses to personalise their connection with followers through Manychat automations, helping to boost reach and engagement, leading to higher conversion rates through a seamless customer journey.
Mel explains how to make the most of Facebook and Instagram ads and connect better with customers using chat funnels.
Mel shares helpful advice on running effective Meta ads, like testing different ad types (such as carousel, video, and catalogue ads) to reach the right audience, understanding your customer acquisition costs, and adjusting your ads regularly to keep them fresh.
Mel also introduces ManyChat, a tool that lets you set up automated, personalised messages for Instagram and Facebook DMs, making it easy for customers to interact without leaving the platform. With ManyChat, you can automate replies to boost engagement, increase sales, and keep customer relationships strong without overwhelm. If you have seen a post saying comment ‘insert word of choice’ and I will send you the link - they are likely to be using a Chat Funnel!
It’s a great, in depth practical episode, that will help you decide how to harness the best tech to boost your product sales.

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.When you’re ready to start your own podcast, use the link for a free 7 day trial: https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=vickiweinberg&tap_a=53455-ceb3a2
