355. Screw Organic Socials - Here's How To Get Attention With Ads

Author: Salome Schillack May 26, 2026 Duration: 36:34

Ready to stop hoping the Instagram algorithm shows you some mercy and start building a real list of buyers instead? 🚀

If you've been posting, promoting and wondering why your audience still isn't buying, this episode is your permission slip to step off the organic treadmill. As a course creator, coach or online expert, you sell transformation — and transformation requires trust. The problem? The organic algorithm on Facebook and Instagram isn't built for trust. It's built for seven-second entertainment.

That's why I'm walking you through why Meta ads are the most controllable, predictable way to build your email list — even if you have a tiny budget, no fancy gear, and zero viral moments to your name.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why waiting to start running ads is the most expensive mistake course creators make

  • Learn the exact daily ad budget I recommend for list building (plus the $1-a-day workaround)

  • Master the low-budget engagement ad strategy that builds warm retargeting audiences on autopilot

  • Uncover why the ads algorithm is far more stable than the organic one you're chasing

 ✨ Doors are OPEN for Ads Foundations! Get the step-by-step Meta ads training that fills your list with hot leads ready to buy - stop dancing for the algorithm and start selling to buyers. Enrollment closes soon at thelaunchlounge.com/join💫
