  • Great tactical advice!

    This is a new favorite podcast after a student (I coach podcasters) sent it to me. I love the biblical insights tied to business plans.

Brilliant Marketing Advice For Small Business Owners (ANY Industry) ft. Richfromanywhere | The Dept. #120
Q: What is the current state of paid ads and where should a small business start?
Start by thinking of Meta as a partner, use the business description to let Meta find targeting, and build an in-house or AI-powered operator to manage campaigns. Begin with a strong offer and lead magnet, then run a webinar or masterclass to convert, using a repeatable funnel and automated reminders.
