I was on a Zoom call this week and I had to bite my tongue so hard.

Someone on the call shared how they had created a quiz, then built an epic email funnel behind it to sell seats in their membership.

Then they shared that they had not made any sales.

And then they said:

“Do you think I should just run some ads to the quiz to get more people to see the offer?”

You know that moment in cartoons when steam starts blowing out of a character’s ears and their head is about to explode?

That was me.

Because ads are not coming to save you.

More people seeing an offer that is not converting does not magically make it convert. It just gives you a more expensive version of the same problem.

So how do ads make you money?

I just recorded a full episode of The Launch Lounge Podcast explaining exactly what needs to be true before ads can help you make more money.

What feels like the biggest problem in your business right now?
