    How do I approach businesses?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Hey Lane Man! I'm not much of cold caller and didn't see any real results with cold emailing too. I'm testing an organic marketing strategy on Facebook and Linkedin. The idea is to create a "profile funnel" - to optimize it for your marketing. Add a relevant bio, your link to your services...

    How I Hit 5-Figures Per Month in 90 Days During C0VlD-19

    EXECUTION 
    Love your story! I graduated as a physical therapist too, but didn't like giving massages to older women... So I quit after six months and have been figuring this digital marketing consulting ever since. Turns out I was right and the offer is the single biggest factor. How do you structure...

    Facebook Ads Funnel Not Working; What's Missing in the Picture?

    MARKETING 
    Hey There could be a few things that could cause zero conversions. What campaign objective did you use for your Facebook campaign? Was it a conversion campaign with your thank you page as the optimization event? If it was a conversion campaign, then it's most likely your landing page. Like...

    Lex DeVille's 2019-22 Step-By-Step Upwork Tutorial for Brokeass Bootstrap Beginners Who Need Cash Now!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hello guys and gals, I've been trying to get on Upwork for a while now, and have been rejected five times. The first two times, I did everything as outlined in the @Lex DeVille outline. I was trying to get approved for "Facebook performance/direct response marketer" and "Conversion...

    Ad agency or do it yourself

    RANT 
    Welll, without any specific details, it's hard to give you a detailed answer. What I can tell you is this - when trying to scale fb ads, ROI usually goes down a bit. You could achieve greater scale at ROI's expense, but then you'd have to readjust KPI's and really know what your average...

    Need help getting clients for my Digital Marketing Business

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I literally tried a similar thing one year ago. 1. What's your offer ( to the businesses you sent the cold pitch) 2. How many businesses did you actually send your cold email to? 3. Did you choose a niche or did you choose a generalized approach? 4. Do you have any proof that the people you...

    Ad agency or do it yourself

    RANT 
    The first agency that was able to get 2x, 3x Roas seems like a great deal to me. In direct response being able to get break even on the front end (acquisition) is good. Then the back-end (lifetime value) is what gives you the real profits. Regarding your question- it depends. Do you love...

    Morale decrease

    MINDSET 
    Hey Buddy, That's not uncommon in the line of work we do. We are going against all odds and pushing toward freedom. So yeah, I bet everyone in this forum experiences this from time to time. What has helped me get past these episodes of complete frustration and depression (after going really...

    When to stop Facebook Ad? Why do Ads stop being effective when only a small percentage of an audience has seen it?

    MARKETING 
    You have to find ways to increase the value of a customer. Which is usually done by giving them even more value. The thing about influencers. The market doesn't know yet how to price itself. But it's going to even out over the next few years. So that means if your business is built around one...

    When to stop Facebook Ad? Why do Ads stop being effective when only a small percentage of an audience has seen it?

    MARKETING 
    Yes, that is exactly what happens if you think about it in terms of one sale. The profit margin is low and you're not really making any money. But here's the thing - you have to look at your Customer Acquisition Cost (how much it costs to acquire one customer) and Customer Lifetime Value (how...

    When to stop Facebook Ad? Why do Ads stop being effective when only a small percentage of an audience has seen it?

    MARKETING 
    Hey Tourmaline, Ads stop being effective all the time. I don't have a hard rule for when to stop an ad, but 10 days of no profit (for me at least) would be enough to kill an ad. "Is what determines how this pixel targets the people most likely to buy first?" - No. And pixel doesn't do that, it...

    BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    MARKETING 
    I guess most of the "aspiring entrepreneurs" have fallen for the bro-marketer at least once in their careers. I've bought my fair share of b.s. info products and scammy "business systems." After a while, though you learn to recognize the patterns. Bro marketers are similar in the way they...

    30 clients in 30 days or money back

    HOT! 
    Hey bro, cold outreach is a tough business. I did like 2k cold emails this past winter (in the U.S. market.) I did most of it manually, scraping the info one by one. I did manage to get a few meetings but I decided to stop doing it. Here's the thing - when you're cold calling a business, most...

    The mark of my three-year journey is in three months (or learning from failure.)

    INTRO 
    I was pursuing the back pain self-help biz idea for so long and didn't quite make anything out of it so after the final pitch day I just figured that: 1. No one's going to give me any capital to go build this startup 2. I've got only copywriting, and online marketing skills but no coding or tech...
