If you’re able to do both…well, enjoy the ride.

Do your tests and don’t push too hard or aggressively.

Josh shares some words of wisdom for you BEFORE you start running ads. He stresses the importance of preparation and not getting emotionally attached to a certain product.

In this video, Josh dives into the real purpose of an ad. The common misconception amongst beginners is that they should be selling their product in the ad itself. This is incorrect, the main purpose of the ad is to hook customers away from their daily lives and consider learning more about the product that is being advertised. The general formula that Josh likes to use is the following:

Five part Ad formula:

1. The hook and scroll stopper
2. The problem introduction
3. The product as the solution
4. User Generated Content
5. Call to Action
