Update:

Trying lead generation was a good call.
Over the last 10 days, i've gathered almost 30 leads of people who need help with their addiction. I've managed to sell 6 of these to rehab centers at $100 per lead.

I have an immense impact on peoples lives.
I indirectly help them quit their addictions.

I still work for my google ads clients, but my focus is on scaling the lead generation business. It will be completely detached from my time once i get going.
And i only need to sell 1-2 leads per day to make good money. Once i get higher quality leads, i can probably sell them for $200-300.


Main problems:

Control - all leads come from Facebook Ads.

Clients - hard to find rehab centers that match the needs of the leads i get.


I'm $300 down on ad spend, and i'm not sure the leads i sold will be paid for as communication has been bad. But i'm learning a ton.
