    What exactly counts as an ‘angle’ in Facebook ads? (Genuine question)

    MARKETING 
    Depends on who you ask I split "angles" into hooks / base scripts / offers The most important part of the angle is the hook. The hook is where 80% of the money is. If you're gonna spend time/money testing ANYTHING it should be hooks. The hook is just the first few seconds of the video: the...

    Have you ever lied for a sale?

    QUESTION 
    No but I worked with agencies that did so regularly lol They didn't even see the problem and wondered why I was so mad at them for passing me clients with f*cked up expectations And they blamed the CLIENT for feeling burnt, blamed ME for poor performance, blamed everyone else but their...

    4 years of sweat and still no results.

    EXECUTION 
    I've done a lot of work in the beauty category over the years. My dad makes skincare for a large CPG, I sell skincare made by small companies. Finding people to create content with is pretty easy, but you do need cash to do it. It's become harder to give creators only product and not pay them...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Correct but driver's licenses acts as both. IF you want to apply with a passport they will also ask for proof of residence

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Following. I haven't tested it extensively but my experience with it so far has been: It's either impossible to set up, or everything goes smoothly, and there doesn't seem to be any reason behind it. (I've tried to get clients set up on TT shop for months and have been unsuccessful in some...

    HEALTH

    Youtuber for 3 years until I realized that, maybe AM I going the slow way?

    INTRO 
    It's just scale that you need to solve, and if you can't solve that, then you can't be rich doing it. But that probably means: more and better content. The big issue with Youtube and affiliates is that there's a single point of failure. If you lose your AdSense income, you have no business...

    MINDSET 
    Originally I wrote a whole big post about avoiding my mistakes and what not.

They kept working...
