Paid ads can't fix what's broken — they only amplify what's already working.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show that helps boutique gym owners grow their member base, increase revenue, and streamline operations — without the chaos of complicated marketing systems.Episode HighlightsThis episode breaks down why paid advertising should be the last step in a gym's marketing strategy, not the first. The discussion explores how to build a strong organic foundation that allows paid ads to amplify results, rather than highlight broken systems. From SEO and CRM setup to budgeting and mindset, this conversation offers a roadmap for sustainable growth and smarter marketing decisions.Key TakeawaysPaid ads amplify existing systems — if they're broken, ads will only make the issues more visible.An SEO-optimized website and CRM are non-negotiable for consistent lead generation and nurturing.Expecting instant results or direct lead attribution from paid ads leads to frustration and wasted budget.Think of paid ads as a trust-building tool that supports the buyer's journey across multiple touchpoints.A strong business foundation includes playbooks, sales processes, and clear metrics to guide decisions.Gym owners launching a new concept should allocate $20,000–$30,000 for pre-opening marketing.For franchises or new locations, a monthly marketing budget of $4,000–$6,000 is recommended.Strategic partnerships and mentorship programs can accelerate the process of building solid systems.Long-term success requires a 12-month mindset, consistent improvement, and leadership development.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Paid Advertising as an Amplifier03:09 Mindset and Success Metrics09:42 Building a Strong Foundation11:23 Leveraging Resources and Strategic Partnerships19:09 Franchise and Concept Launch StrategiesCall to Action If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow gym owner who's thinking about running ads.

Has your business hit a growth plateau? If so, this episode is for you. Because building a brand isn't just about good design or smart strategy–it's about finding your voice and using it to create opportunities. In this special conversation, I joined Brian Mattocks on The Hard to Market Podcast to talk about the lessons I've learned running The brandiD for more than 15 years, and why your voice is often the most powerful marketing tool you have. Your Voice Builds Your Pipeline If your growth has slowed, hiding behind the work won't turn things around. You need to put your voice out there. I share how podcasting, LinkedIn, and even simple visibility habits can attract the right people to your business, even if you're introverted. Focus Creates Momentum Trying to speak to everyone dilutes your message. When I relaunched MyPath101, narrowing the audience and leaning on partnerships made all the difference. You'll hear how choosing focus over frenzy during slow periods can create the traction your business needs. Enjoy this episode… Soundbytes 05:23 - 05:48 “Our growth has been completely organic over these last 14-15 years, except for some partnerships and people who stumbled upon us through Google searches. But even those partnerships have been organic, meaning they just kind of came about by happenstance. I wasn't overly intentional about creating them, but we've always done really good work, and my team is exceptional at what they do.” 08:33 - 09:00 “When I launched that company, it was in 2015. Then we had three different target audiences. It was parents, the students themselves, and high school and college administrators, and we were trying to sell to all three…That wasn't the best move, because it was really difficult to speak to all three through one website.” 29:20 - 29:41 “I lean on my faith, quite honestly, more than ever when things get a little sticky. Whether it's personnel changes or a little uptick in business, I honestly pray about it. That the right people come our way.” Quotes “I'm here to help people be limitless in whatever their journey is.” “Strategy is great, but it's nothing if you don't do something with it.” “I love helping people figure out what they're here to do and then bring light to them, you know, to shine on their journey.” Links mentioned in this episode: Connect with brandiD Find out how top leaders are increasing their authority, impact, and income online.

Ashley Brock has managed over $200 million in ad spend and scaled her advertising agency from $250K to $6 million in just two years. In this episode, she shares why Google Ads should be your starting point (not Meta), reveals her "search and social" retargeting strategy, and explains how balancing humility with credibility transformed her business. Key Takeaways Start with Google Ads instead of Meta—people searching have higher intent to buy than social media scrollers Use the "search and social" strategy: capture high-intent leads on Google, then retarget them with video content on Meta Balance humility with credibility by sharing your wins upfront—people need to know why they should listen to you Get specific with your messaging and "stack the pain" to make prospects feel like you're speaking directly to them About Ashley Brock Ashley Brock is the Founder & CEO of the Paid Ads Academy and the go-to expert for paid ads coaching.

Influencers already have what most businesses are chasing...trust. That loyal audience, the solid ground of followers, is the ultimate unfair advantage. In this episode, we're breaking down how influencers can use paid ads to pour gasoline on an already burning fire — turning organic reach into scalable, consistent growth. Ashley dives into the long-term effects of owning your audience instead of relying solely on social media platforms. From where to strategically place your ads, to how Amazon attribution links can track real results, and how influencers can leverage their following for more than just one-time conversions. Most influencers only get paid on the cart value — but the real money is in everything that comes after: bonuses, repeat purchases, and brand relationships built on data and trust. If you already have followers, this episode will show you how to turn that influence into a sustainable business model that keeps paying off long after the first click.
