Your Guide to Understanding Facebook Ad Success at Every Business Stage

Ready to stop second-guessing your Facebook ad results and finally know if your marketing dollars are actually working? 🚀

If you've ever cried over a launch that felt like a failure (but might have actually been a success!), or found yourself comparing your lead costs to those mythical “30-cent leads” everyone talks about, this episode is your reality check and confidence boost rolled into one. 

I'm sharing the exact questions you need to ask yourself to evaluate your ad performance, whether you're just building your list or scaling to seven figures.

Think you're failing at Facebook ads? I once almost gave up on my entire course business after what I thought was a “failed” launch – only to later discover it was actually a success! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on what really counts as winning with your ads, and how to measure success at every stage of your business.

“If someone had helped me understand what success really looks like with Facebook ads early on, I wouldn't have given up on my online course.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the only metric that matters when you're in list-building mode (hint: it's not cost per lead!)
  • Learn how to calculate your ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and what numbers actually indicate success
  • Master the art of strategic testing to continuously improve your ad performance
  • Understand the three distinct phases of ad success and which metrics matter most for your stage

Grab your favorite notebook and a large cup of coffee – you'll want to take notes on these game-changing success metrics! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
