The #1 fear that freelancers have with paid ads?

They’re terrified of lighting money on fire and never getting it back.

I get it. It feels like a gamble that may not actually get you clients.

And if this is you, I’ve got a challenge for you that I hope will change your mind.

It’s called the $500 ad budget challenge.

I want to prove to you that it’s possible to turn $500 into $5k or more with paid ads, if you do it the right way.

If you’re ready to keep an open mind, listen to this week’s podcast episode where I’ll cover:

- The 3 prerequisites to running paid ads (if you have all 3 of these, you’re in a good position)
- Our “smart testing process” to squeeze all the juice out of a $500 budget
- Real stories of clients who have gotten $5k, $15k, $25k clients from less than $500 in ad spend
- How to get us to pay for your first $500 in ads
