Ep. 190, How Should You Spend Your First $1000 In Meta Ads?

Are you Boot-strapping your business? You’re not alone. Even the huge E-Comm brands that we often talk about on this show - they had to start from somewhere, and most started from scratch.  If you’re tight on cash and in the early phases of your business, every penny counts, and you need every dollar to work for you! In this episode, Pepijn Hufen (CEO of the Smart Marketer Agency) looks back at his humble beginnings and shares what he would do if he were starting from square one again.  He breaks down exactly what he would do to launch Meta Ads with just $1000 in budget so that you can have a simple and smart plan to follow.
