Shortcuts

I do love my shortcuts.

In my last blog post, Paid or Organic, my mentor Dean Holland, talks about the perfect business model to begin with when starting a business online for making money on the Internet.

Then in my Accelerator coaching program, I have been led to believe that the best shortcut to working a paid traffic strategy is Facebook Lead Ads.

This is especially the case when I really only have about $5 US to spend daily on ads.

Start-up costs

But there are the initial start-up costs that I needed to contend with.

Just like when buying in on some coaching there will be some extra startup costs like purchasing a domain name, getting hosting and getting an email autoresponder.

In the case of this shortcut of Facebook lead ads, it was suggested to create about 10 separate interest groups known as ad groups to test out and see which ones perform the best.

For me that meant having to spend about $50 per day for three days before I could pair the list down.

From there I was able to decide which three interest groups to combine on one ad.

And that interest group combination has held out to be my best performing combination for only $5 per day.

I would say that on average this is bringing in about 3 leads per day.

Sometimes more. Sometimes zilch.

The Premise

I go on the premise that as I gain more experience, I will determine how to shortcut my way to increase the number of leads I bring in daily.

And to do that I’m finding I have to spend another $5 per day to test out other interest groups.

I’ll bring you up-to-date in a future post on some of the challenges I’ve had doing further testing but for now, have a listen as Dean Holland speaks of the greatest shortcut.
