Introduction

How do you feel when you hear the term “paid ads”?

I’m guessing that you feel one of two ways. 

1. Overwhelmed thinking about pouring money into something that may not pay off.
2. Liberated at the thought of marketing passively to the right people.

And either way is completely valid! 

There are numerous approaches to business and content creation and you have to choose what works best for you and YOUR business. This is why Marcus Murphy (my podcast co-host for the next few weeks) and I invited marketing guru Billy Gene on the show to share his methodology on strategic marketing (which is completely different from mine!)

In this episode, Billy shares his step-by-step strategy of creating high-quality content pieces and strategically turning them into paid ads to reach a larger audience. 

And the best part? Even if you’ve never ran paid ads before, Billy breaks down exactly what he would do if he were new to ads. (Thanks Billy!)

But Billy doesn’t stop there. He also shares about the importance of setting boundaries and saying no to opportunities that don't align with his vision. (In fact, he’s a MASTER at this…he turns down $50,000 speaking opportunities if it doesn’t feel in alignment with them!).
