The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

On a recent coaching call inside my ads training program, a client asked what her long-term ad strategy should look like, outside of the webinar ads that she had just made a great ROI from.   Listen in to discover what I meant when I told her not to overcomplicate things, and how you should be thinking about your own strategy when it comes to paid traffic. Mentioned in this episode:   The Lead Lab, our hybrid training and coaching program for people who want to get paid to grow their list with ads.
