312. From Ad to $ in the Bank: Funnels Demystified

312. From Ad to $ in the Bank: Funnels Demystified

Author: Salome Schillack October 2, 2025 Duration: 27:54

What if the reason your Facebook ads aren't profitable has nothing to do with your targeting, creative, or budget? 🚀

I'm pulling back the curtain on why most course creators lose money on Meta ads. It's not what happens before the click - it's what happens after. If you can't track that dollar through your funnel to your bank account, you're gambling with your marketing budget.

Today I'm sharing my "paid ad profit path" - the exact system we use in our agency to track every dollar from lead magnet to launch revenue. No fancy software required, just smart CRM tagging that shows you exactly where your money went and when it's coming back.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Why starting with launch ads is like stress-testing an airplane mid-flight

  • The simple tagging system that tracks ROI without expensive software

  • When engagement ads prepare the soil vs. when list building plants seeds

  • The 3-step framework for sustainable, profitable funnel growth
