Panic. Oh my gosh, you open up Facebook and Instagram ad manager and that wonderful lead magnet that you've been running and it's been doing okay or even pretty good

0:09.0

Its cost per lead has crept up and all of a sudden what once was maybe I don't know four dollars per lead is now like seven dollars per lead and you're like what the heck happened? Your instinct is just to shut it off, but don't because many ads are salvageable.

0:26.6

You just have to know what signs to read and what buttons or levers to push or pull.

0:31.6

And in this episode, I will give you the same step-by-step system that I use to diagnose and fix cost per lead.

0:41.3

So here's the context, which is important.

0:44.8

I am assuming that you as an online course creator who is using Facebook ads to grow their already profitable business

0:53.5

so you can better serve people

0:55.8

who you are destined to serve with your passions and gifts and also provide for your family

0:59.8

2:02.6

so that they can grow their businesses and feed and take care of their families while serving the people who they were meant to serve.

2:10.5

2:25.5
