Podcasts about Online advertising

I've been paying an agency to run our Meta ads and for some time Meta itself has been reaching out to take over the account. Let that sink in. The same platform your agency relies on is actively trying to cut you out of the picture. The worst part? This is just one example of a much bigger shift. Big tech is building tools that create entire campaigns—copy, design, video, testing—without a human in sight. Your strategist? Replaced. Designer? Replaced. Copywriter? Gone. I get it. It's a hard pill to swallow, but it isn't necessarily the end of agencies. It's just the end of the ones that built their model on tasks. So what's the future for agencies? Agencies Built on Tasks Are Already Obsolete Let's get real: if you're still selling deliverables, your agency's already falling behind. What AI can't replicate is leadership. At the end of the day clients want results and direction. Smart agencies are not selling tasks anymore. They're selling thinking. Here's how they're staying ahead: 1. Productize the Thinking, Not the Task Most agencies sell what they do – SEO, ad management – Clients don't care that you “run Facebook ads.” They want results. Instead of saying “We run ads for local businesses,” say “We help local gyms get 100 leads in 30 days with a proven 3-step system.” You just went from vendor to strategic partner that sell a system that scales. Productizing your thinking means turning your knowledge into a framework. When you package your thinking and your strategy as something like “The 30-Day Lead Domination System” or “The 5-Step Authority Engine” your expertise becomes a product. That's what scales. 2. Sell Speed and Certainty Speed is an agency superpower. Most clients aren't losing to competitors—they're drowning in indecision. They don't need more options—they need momentum. So skip the six-week strategy plan. Instead of saying “We'll optimize your funnel,” offer quick wins: “We'll launch your highest-converting offer by Friday.” Certainty is what closes deals. Clarity is what makes them stick. 3. Own Your Niche Generic is dead. The riches are still in the niches. Solve a very specific problem for a very specific group of people. The more specific your promise, the more profitable your agency will become. 4. Use AI—But Don't Compete With It Don't just talk about AI—implement it. Show your clients how to use AI to streamline workflows, automate leads, and improve reporting. Become the AI Sherpa, not the tool. If you're not guiding your clients through AI, someone else will. 5. Build Client Community Want to be irreplaceable? Connect your clients to each other. Host virtual meetups. Build a mastermind. Facilitate introductions. Create spaces for idea-sharing. AI will never replace real human connection—and your clients are craving it. We've seen this firsthand with the agency mastermind: community is the real secret weapon. 6. Be the Guide, Not the Gun Execution is cheap. Clarity is priceless. AI will never replace someone who can build leads. Be the one who filters the noise. Be the coach. Once you step into that role, I can promise you your value will skyrocket. So, Did Zuck Kill the Agency Model? Not Even Close. He didn't kill it—he evolved it. The agencies that lead, think, and adapt will be the ones that thrive. Those that keep selling tasks will get replaced. Agency Mastermind Still feel like you're winging it? You're not alone. Most agency owners hit a plateau because they're stuck in the business, buried in decisions, and disconnected from people who get it. The agencies killing it and scaling faster found out they needed to be in the right room.

The world of network marketing, also known as multilevel marketing (MLM), is constantly evolving. Traditionally, building a network relied heavily on personal connections – friends, family, and acquaintances. But in today's digital age, the question arises: can you effectively leverage online advertising to grow your network marketing business? Let's delve into the intricacies of this approach, exploring the possibilities and potential pitfalls. What is Network Marketing? Before we dive into online advertising, it's crucial to understand the fundamentals of network marketing. This business model revolves around independent distributors who sell products or services directly to consumers through their personal networks. These distributors are not employees; they are entrepreneurs building their own businesses. A core component of network marketing is building a "downline" – a network of other distributors recruited by you. This multilevel structure allows you to earn income not only from your own sales but also from the sales generated by your downline. It's essential to distinguish genuine network marketing from pyramid schemes. The key difference lies in the emphasis: legitimate network marketing companies prioritize product sales, while pyramid schemes focus primarily on recruiting new members for financial gain. Leveraging Online Advertising for Downline Recruitment: Traditionally, recruiting your downline relied on your personal network. However, online advertising offers the potential to expand your reach. But how do you effectively use ads to attract new distributors? The AIDA framework (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) is crucial. Your advertising strategy should aim to capture attention, generate interest, create desire, and prompt action. This can be achieved through a content marketing strategy and community building online. While online advertising can be effective, it's a long-term play. Building trust and credibility takes time. For immediate results, leveraging your existing personal network remains a powerful strategy. Selling Products Through Online Ads: Yes, you can use online ads to sell network marketing products. However, careful planning and execution are essential. * Targeting Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): Consult with your upline to identify your target audience. Understanding your ICP is crucial for effective advertising. * Clear and Compelling Messaging: Your ads should highlight the unique value proposition of your products. Work with your upline to craft compelling messaging that resonates with your target audience. * Need Analysis and Problem-Based Conversations: When customers respond to your ads, engage in conversations to understand their needs and recommend suitable products. Avoid simply focusing on price. * Leverage Testimonials and Case Studies: Use testimonials and case studies to build trust and credibility. Many network marketing companies provide these resources. * Relationship Building: After a sale, focus on building relationships to ensure customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers become enthusiastic advocates, potentially leading to downline recruitment. Key Takeaways: * Network marketing thrives on building relationships, whether online or offline. * Online advertising can be a valuable tool for expanding your reach, but it requires a strategic approach. * Focus on providing value, building trust, and fostering genuine connections. * Always be sure to remain compliant with any regulations regarding advertising, and also the rules set out by your network marketing company. By understanding the principles of network marketing and effectively utilizing online advertising strategies, you can build a successful and sustainable business in the digital age.

Today is Monday, September 9th.

Inside the Black Box: How Marketers Waste Billions in Online Advertising by Bob Hoffman  ABOUT THE BOOK: In 2024, marketers will spend over $650 billion on online advertising. A substantial proportion of this - perhaps in the hundreds of billions - will be completely wasted. Not for the usual reason - their advertising stinks - but for another, darker reason. They have been cheated, conned, and robbed. It has been clear for about a decade that a great deal of online advertising is crooked. It is a black box. Money goes in and nobody knows what comes out. Between ad fraud, made for advertising sites, hidden middleman fees, crooked publishers, unreliable data, unreliable reports, viewability issues, click fraud, false attribution, consumer inattention, and the utter lack of transparency, advertisers are being fucked blind. The book should be of particular value to executives (like CEOs and CFOs) who cross their fingers and hope their marketing people know what they're talking about (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It's also for marketing people who believe their suppliers give them accurate information (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It's also for media buyers who think they know what they're buying (Spoiler alert: They don't.) It is written in simple English, so you don't have to be a tech-head to get it. And, best of all – the book is free!   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bob Hoffman is the author of several best-selling books about advertising. He is also one of the most sought-after international speakers on advertising and marketing. His books include: Marketing Stinx ADSCAM: How Online Advertising Gave Birth to One of History's Greatest Frauds, and Became a Threat to Democracy  Advertising for Skeptics Laughing at Advertising BadMen: How Advertising Went From A Minor Annoyance To A Major Menace AND Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey ... all of which have been featured on The Marketing Book Podcast.   He is the creator of the popular “Ad Contrarian” blog, named one of the world's most influential marketing and advertising blogs by Business Insider. Bob was the CEO of two independent agencies and the U.S. operation of an international agency.  Bob's commentary has appeared in the BBC World Service, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, MSNBC, The Financial Times, The Australian, New Zealand Public Broadcasting, Fox News, Sky News, Forbes, Canadian Public Broadcasting, and many other news outlets throughout the world.  And, interesting fact – he is now a member of a VERY exclusive club with 3 other authors - The Marketing Book Podcast 7-Timers Club!

The PestGeek Podcast, hosted by the insightful Franklin Hernandez, known as 'The Pestgeek', has recently aired an episode that is a goldmine of knowledge for solo entrepreneurs and small business owners. Titled "Is Google Ads Worth It For A One Man Show?", this episode delves deep into the world of digital advertising, specifically focusing on Google Ads, and is particularly beneficial for those in the pest control industry. Understanding the Real Cost of Google Ads Frank begins by addressing a crucial question that resonates with many solo entrepreneurs: the effectiveness and practicality of investing in Google Ads. He explains that the costs associated with running a Google Ads campaign go beyond the apparent ad spend. Frank elaborates on the hidden layers of cost, including ad management and supervisory expenses, which are crucial for a successful campaign. Navigating the Technicalities of Google Ads A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to the technical aspects of setting up and running a Google Ads campaign. Frank breaks down the process, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right keywords, understanding the bidding mechanism, and the criticality of waiting for data to analyze the campaign's effectiveness. He also highlights the need to identify and eliminate negative keywords that do not align with commercial intent to avoid unnecessary expenditure. The Trial Process of Ad Campaigns Frank advises listeners to view ad campaigns as a trial process. He recommends at least a three-month period to gather data, test various strategies, and refine the approach based on the feedback received. This trial period is essential to understand the nuances of effective ad spending. Crafting Compelling Ad Content Creating compelling ad content is another key topic Frank discusses. He points out that merely stating qualifications or experience isn't enough to make an ad successful. Instead, he suggests focusing on crafting an irresistible offer that can attract potential customers and outshine competitors' ads. Advertising as an Investment Frank delves into the concept of advertising as an investment. He explains that, like any investment, ads require time to mature and start yielding returns. This perspective is vital for business owners to set realistic expectations about the long-term nature of advertising investments. The Role of Business Owners in Advertising Towards the end of the episode, Frank highlights the importance of the business owner's active involvement in the advertising process. He stresses the need for owners to analyze and scrutinize ad performance data, effectively playing the role of a chief marketing officer. Conclusion: A Must-Listen Episode for Digital Marketing Success Overall, this episode of the PestGeek Podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone in the pest control industry considering Google Ads as a marketing tool. Frank's detailed and practical advice provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of digital advertising's complexities and offers actionable strategies for successful ad campaigns. #PestGeekPodcast, #GoogleAds, #DigitalMarketing, #PestControlBusiness, #SoloEntrepreneur, #SmallBusinessTips, #OnlineAdvertising, #MarketingStrategy, #AdCampaigns, #PestControlIndustry, #BusinessGrowth, #Entrepreneurship, #MarketingInsights, #AdManagement, #SEO, #PPC, #CostEffectiveMarketing, #BusinessAdvice, #PestControlProfessionals, #MarketingSuccess, #OneManShow, #PestManagement Connect with the PestGeek Podcast Support on Patreon: Pestgeekpodcast Patreon Official Website: PestGeekPodcast Join the Facebook Group: Pestgeekpodcast Group Follow on Facebook: Pestgeekpodcast Page Follow on Twitter: @pestgeekpodcast Connect on LinkedIn: Franklin Hernandez LinkedIn Business Page: PestGeekPodcast Follow on Instagram: @pestgeekpodcast Follow on Pinterest: Pestgeekpodcast
