Today I'm sharing a powerful tip for converting new leads from simple list-building ads into clients. This is something I see almost nobody doing. Whether you get customers immediately, down the road, or through referrals, this strategy works. I'll give you ideas for a mini offer tailored to your niche and then what to do from there. If you're stuck on daily client-getting tasks or in a client drought, this is the easiest funnel I'd tell you to try out first.

She shared insights about targeting, ad creative, the algorithm, and next steps for people who are already running ads versus people who are just starting out.

I've made a lot of decisions in my business that, upon reflection, I'm not always sure I'd do again. But, this particular choice really has me thinking. It might be one of my biggest regrets. That is…raising my prices too soon. It's not necessarily the choice, but the hastiness and motivation behind price changes. The lesson here is to discern whether you're actually initiating a new strategy or reacting to your unresolved money and selling fears. It was a combination for me. So, I'm laying it all out there today to tell you my exact thoughts, as of today, and what I plan on doing going forward. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: The original pricing of Absolute FB Ads and why it was so low Why I went through so many price points and what I think about it now When pricing is and is not a strategy - and often there's more to look at before you make big changes Learning to take the entire context of your launch and audience building into account before making big decisions Why we should be collecting case studies like yesterday Why I'm still happy with my current prices and what it took to get there Mentioned in this podcast: https://clairepells.com/getpaid https://clairepells.com/afa-waitlist Now it's time to GET PAID Thanks for tuning into the Get Paid Podcast!
