    Weekly Group Call for Agency Owners (Google Ads, Web design, etc.)

    MEETUPS 
    Shall I create a Master CHAT thread for agency owners? I could link to this thread from in there, and other useful threads in the opening post.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Think about what you spend money on @MTF, that the average person doesn't. Are there things loads of things other people also spend money on?

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    This is why I prefer they pay a flat monthly fee. They either think it's worth it or they don't.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Consider running the marketing for local service businesses then? You can do it on your own schedule, from a computer, anywhere. I like Google Ads because, if they work for a client, then they can run mostly unchanged for years and the client still pays you to monitor and slightly change things...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    That's a bit like saying, "I want to start a business, but so many businesses fail." IMO, the fact that you're worried about all the bad influences means you'll make a great parent.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Meanwhile, I refunded someone this morning because the campaigns weren't working for him and he sent a stroppy note about expecting 10/10 effort and it seeming we only put in 0. He got an agency to audit the account and their report was sooo bad. Apparently we've only spent GBP39 in the month...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I like setting up the accounts, maybe dialling them in, and then they either churn or they stay for months/years paying 300-500+/mth Facebook seems more hands on.

    EXECUTION 
    People in the forum keep asking if I have courses after I shut them down. Guys... it's all free. Just execute.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I just posted this to LinkedIn. Yes, it's a highlight, but it's not complicated. Put what people search for into the ad to get clicks. Ideally put it into the landing page to get enquiries, or close enough. In this case we're using the franchise's website, which is well designed but doesn't...

    Thanks for the tag guys. I'll watch this thread if you want to post activity, questions, and updates in here. I'm just not into the whole accountability thing. I'm more of a "Do it, or don't" guy.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    It doesn't matter if they blame us. They'll have to churn and we keep going till we find a business that gets ROI.

    EXECUTION 
    If very few businesses in Poland have websites and advertise online then that could be an opportunity.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    We don't guarantee leads. We get paid a flat monthly fee and they pay the ad spend. If they don't feel they're getting ROI (or even if it sometimes goes too well for them), then they churn. The ones that stay can stay for years. What they're paying for is the build, optimisation, and...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I think it can work at under $1k/mth, but has to be rinse-and-repeat and then low maintenance. There's definitely a lot of nuances and landmines doing lead gen for local services. I think the ultimate edge is being able to generate leads you serve yourself. Then you don't have two learning...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    When it works it's great @MTF. This guy came to us desperate for leads. We set up a campaign at the start of the year and started working with him. Then the franchise he's with sorted out the SEO so he started getting leads again from the website they'd built for him. So he churned as a Google...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I'm walking the dog and talking to my phone using WisprFlow so hopefully this isn't too hard to follow and read. Disclaimer: My business fell off a cliff a few months ago for various reasons, but I'm confident I can build it back up pretty quick. Sooo... There are a few ways of doing this...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I think if you can generate a steady stream of high quality leads for a decent price in a given niche then everything falls into place. Clients come to you asking to expand into other locations, ask you to do their website or GBP, and drop your name into large Facebook groups. Everyone seems...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    There are some in the forum who are doing decent generating leads for local services. Often they start with one service (maybe Google Ads), then also offer web design, SEO, GBP optimisation, etc, and often to just one or two industries. They basically get very good at generating leads in that...
