Transcribe →I Turned On Meta Ads Before I'd Even Built My Product [Ep 257]
Jul 1000:12:53Tap to summarizeNote [added after recording]: Since recording this episode, my Meta Ads account was unexpectedly disabled while under review. The results and numbers shared in this episode were accurate at the time of recording. If anything, the experience reinforced one of the biggest lessons you'll hear in this episode: don't rely on a single traffic source. Diversifying how people discover your business isn't just smart marketing - it's good business.Over the past couple of weeks, I've been running a little experiment that honestly made me question everything - in the best possible way. I launched Meta ads to complete strangers before I'd even finished creating my brand-new digital product. Yep… slightly unhinged, but surprisingly effective.But this episode isn't really about Meta ads.It's about what happened when I put my work in front of people who didn't already know, like and trust me - and why it reminded me that most business owners don't have an offer problem.They have a traffic problem.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why selling to cold traffic triggered a whole new level of imposter syndrome.The surprising numbers from my first Meta ads experiment.Why traffic is often the missing piece behind slow sales.How I'm building a business around systems instead of constant launching.Why diversifying your traffic sources is one of the smartest moves you can make.Mentioned in this episode:50 a Day mini course: https://kyliekelly.thrivecart.com/50-a-day/Ready to grow your business without social media or burnout?🎉 Join Email Marketing Skool here:https://www.skool.com/email-marketing-skool/aboutp.s - Loving the show?
