Buckle up, because you're in for a wild ride. 🤠

We'll start with the basics – introducing you to the world of Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram mainly). 

But hold onto your hats, because we'll quickly ramp up, diving deep into strategies and tactics that have consistently delivered knockout results. 

Results? Oh yes…Meta accounts for 71.64% of all web traffic referral from social media, so you can imagine there is money to be made. 

With many different ad types and placements available on Meta Ads, along with highly-specific targeting options, many businesses rely solely on Meta Ads for their growth.

The average Facebook Ads return is impressive out of the gate, whether that’s 2x better or 8x better. 

But we like to do better than average. 

So what return on ad spend, or ROAS, should businesses getting started with Meta Ads strive for?

In our opinion (as a marketing agency that’s spent millions of dollars on behalf of clients in Meta Ads), we go after a 4:1 return. 

When you have the right product-market-fit, we’re even more ambitious than a 400% return. 

Fortune favors the bold as they say, and that is certainly my mantra. 

It’s how KlientBoost grew from five members in 2015 to over 100 members in 2021 and scaled profits (using Meta Ads as a key tool in my kit) from $100K MRR to $1.2 million MRR in only 5 years.

Go big or go home.

By the end of this journey, Facebook Ads won’t just be a tool – it’ll be your superpower.
