Stop Obsessing Over the Wrong Numbers and Start Measuring What Actually Matters

Tired of throwing money at Facebook and Instagram ads without knowing if they're really working? 🚀 In this episode, Salome reveals the only three metrics course creators actually need to master in 2025 (and why ROAS isn't one of them!)

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting ads advice out there, you're not alone. Most ads managers are giving course creators metrics designed for e-commerce – but building relationships through courses and programs is a completely different game. Today, we're breaking down exactly what numbers you should be tracking to build a profitable, sustainable online course business.

“Course creators play the long game. Measure what matters for the marathon, not the sprint.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why CPMs matter more than ever (and the potential TikTok impact that could change everything).
  • Learn the one click-through rate that actually predicts your success.
  • Master the exact conversion rates you should aim for and how to fix them if you're missing the mark.
  • Understand why relationship-building metrics matter more than quick-sale numbers for course creators.

Grab your favorite morning beverage and cozy up for this strategy-packed episode that will transform how you look at your ad metrics! ☕️
