Her approach is refreshingly different from what most marketing experts teach.Laurel opens up about her "$5 video ads" strategy that targets the 97-98% of people who aren't ready to buy right now but are your ideal clients. While most marketers focus only on the 2-3% who are ready to purchase immediately, Laurel has built what she calls a "conveyor belt" that nurtures potential customers until they're ready to buy.What I love about Laurel's approach is how she prioritizes real human connection. Instead of automating everything, she creates value-driven content that solves specific problems, then uses messenger conversations to build relationships. She's generated as many as 200 triage calls from just $6 in ad spend by using this strategy correctly!Laurel also shares her unique perspective shaped by her background in television, where she worked from 2002 until 2018. She reveals how she accidentally discovered her business when a marketing expert at an event pointed out that her Facebook ad skills (which she'd been using to launch TV shows since 2008) could be monetized as a service.You'll learn exactly how Laurel's "ads ecosystem" works, including:How to create $5 video ads that build your invisible audienceHer "conversion multiplier" strategy that intercepts people at different points in your funnelWhy boosted posts aren't dead (when used correctly)How to structure your messaging to overcome objectionsHer 90-days-to-data approach that helps identify exactly what to fix in your marketingPerhaps most refreshing is Laurel's commitment to her core values. Despite her success, she deliberately keeps her ad spend low and her program capped at around 4,000 members so she can deliver personalized coaching without sacrificing quality or hiring employees.Whether you're just starting with ads or looking to optimize your current strategy, Laurel's proven approach shows that you don't need massive budgets to create massively profitable campaigns.#FacebookAds #LowBudgetMarketing #AdStrategy #VideoMarketing #MessengerMarketing #MarketingTips #ConversionRate #DigitalMarketing #SmallBusinessMarketing #SocialMediaAdsAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.
