| 0:00.0 | I brought back Maria went to talk about how anyone can start an online business for just $5 a day. |
| 0:05.5 | I've also got my co-host, Brian DeVilla, joining me on this. |
| 0:08.0 | Maria, it's good to see you again. |
| 0:09.1 | Thanks so much for having me. It's so good to be back here and with you too, Brian. I'm excited. I know. He was grilling you in the hall about... Oh, he got all my numbers. You guys just had your first ever million dollar month and all these crazy things. |
| 0:20.6 | And we're going to get into that. |
| 0:21.4 | But I think so many people love the idea from our last podcast about |
| 0:25.7 | low ticket and only needing a hundred followers to get into an online business. Then we were just |
| 0:31.6 | talking like, we didn't really go into ads too much. But like you could just run ads for five bucks a day |
| 0:36.1 | and have success. Yeah. I think that people don't realize how if you're just getting started, you could just run ads for five bucks a day and have success. Yeah, I think that |
| 0:37.9 | people don't realize how if you're just getting started, you should still be running ads. And you |
| 0:42.6 | can start with a budget of $5. That's like a coffee, right? The cup of a cup of coffee every single |
| 0:47.3 | day. And you take those five, that first initial $5, a lot of my students who do it well and do |
| 0:53.6 | it correctly, you know, will get their |
| 0:55.4 | sale in the first 24 to 48 hours. So that little $5 that they spent turns into their first |
| 1:01.1 | sale of their product. And I think that the morale that comes from that first sale so quickly |
| 1:07.9 | is something you don't get in the organic marketing space, right? |
| 1:11.0 | It usually takes a long time to build an audience and you got to get traffic. And so I think |
| 1:14.4 | the things that I wish people realize is, A, you can run ads and you should be doing ads |
| 1:19.4 | a lot sooner than you think. And B, you can get started running ads really, really inexpensively. |
| 1:24.7 | $5 every single day. It's not like thousands and thousands of dollars |
| 1:28.4 | and it gets you sales. It gets you traffic so much faster. And then I would say the other thing is |
| 1:34.3 | Facebook and meta advertising has never been more simple. It's never been more easy. Like you remember |
