Stop Gambling with Your Facebook Ads and Start Tracking Every Dollar to Your Bank Account

What if the reason your Facebook ads aren't profitable has nothing to do with your targeting, creative, or budget? 🚀

I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason most course creators lose money on Meta ads. It's not what happens before the click – it's what happens after. If you can't track that dollar all the way through your funnel and back to your bank account, you're essentially gambling with your marketing budget.

I've watched too many brilliant course creators pour money into launch ads without understanding their customer journey. They get excited about webinar registrations but can't tell you if those $10 leads from ads actually convert to sales. That's like harvesting before you know your plants will grow.

Today I'm walking you through my “paid ad profit path” – the exact system we use in our agency to track every dollar from lead magnet to launch revenue. No fancy software required, just smart tagging and simple tracking that shows you exactly where your money went and when it's coming back.

“Putting money into Meta ads should not feel like gambling. You deserve to know exactly where your money went and when it's coming back to you.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why starting with launch ads is like stress-testing an airplane mid-flight
  • Learn the simple CRM tagging system that tracks your ROI without expensive software
  • Master the “Most Profitable Customer Journey” report that reveals exactly which leads convert
  • Understand when engagement ads prepare the soil vs. when list building plants the seeds
  • Get the 3-step “Paid Ad Profit Path” framework for sustainable funnel growth

Grab your favorite coffee and settle in – you're going to want to take notes on this strategy session! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
