Your ads are literally telling you how to make more money — most course creators just ignore the clues. 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit ‍‍ ‍‍ I share how I use message testing to see what cold audiences actually respond to and why those clicks are basically votes for what to say everywhere else in your business. Once you spot the winning angle, you can plug it into your emails, sales page, and content instead of guessing what to say next. If you’re already spending on ads, this is how you squeeze way more results out of the same data you already have. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

Some of the ads that make the most money don’t look impressive at all — and I explain why that is actually a good thing. ‍‍ ‍‍ 48-Hour Ad Fix Audit I share how low-production, “ugly” ads can outperform polished ones because they blend into the feed, feel more relatable, and are faster to produce and test. You hear how one client agreed to try this approach for retargeting ads and ended up with creatives that deliver positive ROAS. If perfectionism has been slowing you down, this episode shows why testing more simple ideas often beats waiting for the “perfect” ad. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!

I get this question a lot, especially with all the changes coming into 2026: should you still be running ads to ManyChat, or is it time to move on? ‍‍ ‍‍ How to lower Facebook Ad Lead Costs for your Lead Magnet Ads ‍‍ ‍‍ I share when ads to a ManyChat-connected Instagram Reel still make sense, and when you’re better off sending traffic to a website opt-in or an instant form instead.
