Should you run paid ads?

Paid ads suck, right?

Whether you lost $2k on Google PPC, dumped $10k into a Facebook ads agency, or don’t think your ideal customers are on social media…

I totally get it.

Dumping money down the drain is not fun.

However, paid ads are the fastest way to grow.

No matter how you look at it.

Let’s see our options.

Email List — Takes very long to build and requires organic marketing.

Social Platforms — Takes even longer to build and doesn’t always equate to revenue.

Referrals — Great, but not scalable or reliable.

Outbound — Super hard to get attention on cold emails or cold messaging.

The funniest part is…

All of these alternatives cost money too.

So while you think doing outbound marketing alone is saving you money…

You still need to pay $500/m for a tech stack.

Social platform growth requires $1000/m for a good editor and manager.

Referrals have a massive opportunity cost because they are fairly passive.

And an email list requires $2-5k/m for a legit copywriter or growth agency.

The point is, everything costs money…

Most businesses are only nervous about paid ads because it’s not familiar.

You COULD spend the $500-5000k per month on paid ads instead…

And after a couple of months…

The results may blow your mind.

Because while $500 spent on organic marketing might get you in front of 1000 people…

That same amount spent on paid traffic could get you in front of thousands more.

Paid ads aren’t right for every single business.

Especially depending on your stage.

However, it’s something to think about.
