Facebook Ads aren't dead — but they have changed. In this episode, I break down why Facebook Ads feel harder in 2025, what's still working, and how to fix common mistakes coaches and course creators over 45 are making with ads.
Wonder why your Facebook ads stink while others seem to do everything right? Hint: It's not the algorithm, iOS updates, or your Facebook ads strategy - I'm revealing the real reason most lead generation campaigns fail (and how to fix it now).
Struggling to get your Facebook ads to convert? The problem might not be your offer—it's that you don't know your real return on ad spend (ROAS) target. In this episode, I'll show you why chasing a 10x return is unrealistic, and how smart advertisers grow with a 2x–3x ROAS that actually scales.
Want the Facebook ad launch formula that actually works? I'll show you how to run Facebook ads like a pro instead of burning cash like everyone else - this isn't a Facebook ads tutorial, it's the exact 3-phase strategy behind multiple 6-figure launches.
If you're avoiding Facebook ads, Instagram ads, and Google ads for your digital marketing strategy, then what's your plan for lead generation and social media marketing? I've got the solution on this episode
Tired of ads that don't work? Here's why they fail and how to fix them! If you've ever run Facebook, Google, or YouTube ads and felt like you were just burning money, you're not alone. Most people fail with ads—not because ads don't work, but because they don't have the right approach.
