Identify Your Accurate and Achievable Goals With THIS Calculator
“You can’t manage what you can’t measure.” But if you’re measuring the wrong thing, then you’re only hurting your ability to grow. That’s why we always say ROAS is not a good indicator of success. It doesn’t tell you all the areas where your money showed a return. The ONLY way to achieve true growth is to have a holistic approach to marketing. And you start by having a holistic approach to measuring, and using the right metrics to determine your goals. We developed a calculator to do just that. Use this calculator to find out your accurate and achievable goals based on your own numbers.Check out the calculator here to Define Your Goals The Profitable Way: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVdaRU5RYVdDV3JoSXRWS0JZZ3Y5d1V1c2lLUXxBQ3Jtc0ttaVgxTE1udnI5RnJ0U2RJbVpHM0JncnJvYUt6T0JWZkhhMXN1UE5SZkp5SUg3RTkxYVVKRVJ2SW5xYWt0SnJqV1JCbjRGVlh6Y1pjRk42U0xrNXdMS2Fva1hqb29jUjFEQjFpY2N5WVhZaXY2dU9ZUQ&a

I have to make sure they see returns.I think one of the most important skill sets an entrepreneur can cultivate (and something I still struggle with on a daily basis) is learning how to reframe events and situations so they serve us instead of holding us back.The entrepreneurial endeavor is a massive contradi

But, here's a secret no one knows: I should never have been there in the first place if it wasn't for this gift.It all started with my friend Calvin Correli. I brought him and his team to T&C because I thought it would be helpful to get our creative juices flowing.He and I were roaming the exhibitor hall together and wandered past the War Room booth. For those of you who don't know, War Room was the longest-running and most successful marketing mastermind in history.I mentioned to Calvin how much I had always dreamed of joining War Room. When he asked me why I hadn't, I made every excuse in the book: money, time, I wasn't ready, etc., etc.The truth is, and this is painful to admit, I have some pretty severe self-worth issues, and I just never felt comfortable investing in myself - at least not to that degree. Calvin spotted that but let it go. We moved on,

Uncovering the Issue of Offline Importation of Conversion Actions in Google Ads
John sheds light on an issue that only skilled marketers are aware of and then provides a clear solution. This is the offline importation of the conversion actions that happen post-lead generation and when you want to upload them back into Google Ads.Apple is pushing heavily on WBRAID and GBRAID parameters. But those are not being imported with the standard GCLID parameter. That's why advertisers need to learn this method to upload those leads back into Google Ads. This method will also help you push against the spam leads that Performance Max is generating because of heavy click farms and junk traffic. Listen to this episode now!

What Google Knows About You Is Absolutely Terrifying
What is Google? If your answer is "a search engine," you are so wrong. And you're missing what makes Google so powerful (and dangerous). I'll explain this episode.Google is an entire ecosystem! It’s not just Search; it’s also YouTube, Gmail, Google Apps, Google Maps, Android OS, Chrome, Google Display Network, and Google Analytics.Scared? You probably should be. All of this data collection puts Google in a position to understand human intent more than any entity that's ever existed. In fact, in April of 2015, Google told a woman she was pregnant BEFORE SHE KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT! (Source: Moz). That was 8 years ago...While Google started as a search engine, it's really an entire ecosystem. In fact, if you combine all of Google's properties, they make up the vast majority of how people spend their time online.Everything you do within that ecosystem is appended to your user profile within Google to begin understanding who you

Mastering the Art of Success: Understanding Personality Ethic vs. Character Ethic
Kasim shares one of the most powerful concepts he has ever been presented—Stephen Covey's Personality Ethic vs. Character Ethic. In business, the PERSONALITY ETHIC asks:"How do I get people to buy my product/service?"The CHARACTER ETHIC asks:"How do I create a product/service that will truly serve my customer?"The PERSONALITY ETHIC asks:"How do I make the most amount of money with the least amount of output?"The CHARACTER ETHIC asks:"How do I provide the maximum amount of value?"The PERSONALITY ETHIC asks:"How do I get my customers to do (say, act, think) the way I want them to?"The CHARACTER ETHIC asks:"What is it that my customers do (say, act, think) that I can tap into in order to serve them?"Focusing on the CHARACTER ETHIC in business (and in life) puts us in a position to grow from a strong and stable foundation.

Exposed The Biggest Marketing Lie of All Time
Here's a lie you currently believe: "It takes 7 touches to make a sale." The "rule of 7" is from a study done in the 1930s! Why on earth are we citing 100-year-old data?So, how many touchpoints do you think it really takes? The answer (obviously) varies on the complexity and importance of a purchase. According to Google, it takes 20 touchpoints to sell a candy bar and more than 500 to sell a flight. Where do you think your product/service lands based on that window?Overwhelmed? It gets worse. The average fashion shopper views 32 pages in a single session before making a purchase. From an attribution perspective, that still only counts as one "touch."This means we need marketing campaigns built to support multi-touch and multi-page engagements. This is one of the reasons we hate squeeze pages for anything, but impulse buys and massive value opt-ins. You can't send an educated consumer to a squeeze page 500 times without annoying them.You nee

Why Scaling and Maintaining Efficiency Don’t Mix: A Guide for Entrepreneurs and Marketers
In the world of business, it's often said that time is money. And if you want to grow your business, you need to be able to scale up your operations. But here's the thing: scaling comes with its own set of challenges. As you try to expand your business, you'll find that maintaining the same level of efficiency becomes increasingly difficult.This is a phenomenon that affects businesses of all sizes and in all industries. Whether you're running a small start-up or a large corporation, you'll eventually hit a point where you can't do both: scale and maintain efficiency. You'll have to make a choice between growth and optimization.Of course, this is not something that's limited to Google Ads or marketing. It's an economic truth that applies across the board. The more you try to do, the harder it is to do everything well. It's a balancing act that requires careful planning and execution.In this episode, Kasim dives deeper into this topic and exp

Uncovering the Dark Side of Google's Price Fixing
Kasim reveals the dirtiest secret in Google Ads. In fact, it's almost a full-on scam!Google Ads is (supposedly) auction-based. That should mean that the money you pay for visibility (clicks, views, and impressions) is based on the competitive landscape. The more competition, the more you pay. The less competition, the less you pay.Google Ads definitely works this way in highly competitive markets. The more competition, the more you'll pay. I've seen industries (like personal injury attorneys, for example) with CPCs of $1k and more. However, what happens when things go in the other direction? For example, you find a targeted niche with little to no competition. One might expect the cost of traffic to be virtually zero, right? Wrong...Google has something called "Ad Rank thresholds" that set a minimum bid (a "reserve price") that needs to be met before an ad can be shown. And, get this, they're calculated dynamically, in real time, based on a

The Future Of Advertising: BING?!
I never thought I would say this, but… Don't sleep on Bing Ads! Here's why!Bing has always had a (small) pocket of viable traffic that is generally much cheaper and far less "clicky". However, many advertisers skipped Bing Ads because the headache of setting up and maintaining the campaigns wasn't always worth it due to the extremely limited volumes. But with Bing's recent integration with ChatGPT, run ads on Bing! And not just to try and capitalize on the potential influx in traffic. You'll have a front-row seat to how AI-driven traffic impacts advertising campaigns. And, since Bing is quite a bit smaller than Google, I anticipate the changes being more obvious. You can treat this as your "AI Ads Sandbox." I think this will be especially important since Google is rolling out its own AI-driven chat features, and (obviously) ads are going to be built right into the core of everything they do.

Why Monthly Reporting Fails and What to Do Instead

When you spend $1, how long does it take for you to see the impact? This is harder to determine than you may think, and there are multiple inflection points.For our real estate investment (REI) campaigns, we found that $1 spent in top-of-funnel campaigns could average up to 45 days to result in a lead (depending on geography).

You read that right. Warm referrals are the most valuable source of traffic and the highest quality lead you can get. They close more easily, spend more, stay longer, and are easier to manage. But you can't just sit around waiting for them to come rolling in. Building a strong referral program is one of the most important things you can do.

Creative for Google Ads: 5 Golden Rules
Listen to Kasim, Regina, Efe, Onkar, Susmita, and Usama in action as they create the five golden rules for building creative for Google Ads. Effective Google Ads copy is usually composed of “benefits and keywords” rather than creative media and storytelling.While that’s still generally true, with Performance Max in play, Google is going to favor massive media creation.It's because creating a PMax campaign is essentially giving Google one "bundle" of creative (images, videos, logos, headlines, and descriptions) with your goal(s) and target audience.Now, if you’re someone who isn’t comfortable creating content, don’t worry! You don’t need to produce insane Hollywood-level content, just start creating content the right way. And you can start the right way by following these five golden rules in building your creative for successful Google Ads campaigns:1.

The Difference Between Primary and Secondary Conversion Actions
Kasim talks about the difference between primary and secondary conversion actions. He also shares how you can use secondary conversion actions for CRO and what you should be cautious about when selecting what to track.Google's definition of the two conversion actions:Primary actions: These are conversion actions that are reported in the “Conversions” column in your reports and used for bidding as long as the standard goal they are part of is used for bidding.Secondary actions: These conversion actions are for observation only. They are used for reporting in the “All conversions” column in your reports, but not for bidding, even if the goal they are included in is used for bidding. The one exception is if the secondary action is part of a custom goal.Read more about primary and secondary conversion actions here:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3ZOTkRENTl1eGhLU3E1a3Qtak1lNlN4OTljd3xBQ3Jtc0ttWG
