Jason Wojo, a paid ads expert generating $2M+ monthly revenue, shares his journey from local business pitching to building a multi-million dollar agency. He discusses paid advertising strategies, funnel optimization, personal branding, and the critical importance of storytelling and offer construction in modern marketing.
Insights
- The trust recession requires multi-platform advertising strategies; YouTube and Google deliver 20-30X ROAS vs Facebook's 3-4X due to search intent vs cold traffic interruption
- Successful scaling requires solving multiple business problems simultaneously (ads, sales team, fulfillment, product quality) not just optimizing one funnel element
- Personal brand building precedes business growth; acquiring A+ talent depends on demonstrating results, network quality, and trustworthiness rather than salary alone
- Low-budget ad campaigns require reaching 50 conversions in 7 days to exit learning phase; most entrepreneurs underinvest in ads while overinvesting in cheap VA labor
- The biggest differentiator between successful and failed clients is common sense and willingness to listen; unrealistic expectations and ego-driven decision-making destroy businesses

I went to business school, I started learning about like, you know, the eBay flipping and all that fun jazz, sort of seeing shipping costs and packing up my own orders and like basically just like, you know, profit and loss arbitrage. But it started pitching local businesses like seven day free trials, four to eight free trials. I did like door knocking. So like barber shop restaurants, home service, felon stuff like that, you know, stuff where they could pay me five hundred bucks a month for social media management. Back then I was charge about five hundred bucks a month for ads and social media management like I would come there with a camera and fill in myself. And then I would take the videos and images back home, export them, edit them, camvapost, boost post, all that jazz. And then from there to start like investing myself a lot more. I started going to events, mastermind, you know, I started getting in bigger circles. How did you end up like recruiting the people that work for you right now? Right now on indeed LinkedIn, up work, we'll spend maybe about 500 bucks a day just on ads to get hires to get applications. The fastest way to acquire a plus talent is by having a brand and actually being good at what you do. If somebody's out there watching this and wants to try and build a personal brand, what's the first step that you should be doing right now? First thing is like really figuring out what your voice and brand is. I know that sounds very vague, but let me explain like you have to have this like a unique counterpart to you. Those that actually have a limited budget, what is would you recommend is the best way to try and use ad effectively with a smaller budget? I mean with a smaller budget, it is tough because you have to get out and learning phase. The only way you're getting out of learning phase of your 50 conversions is seven days. So you have to get out learning phase with 50 bucks. You got to basically get like $7 a liter less. The code to winning insights you need today to seize the world tomorrow. Today we have a guest that I have been looking forward to interview for probably over a year. We finally got him out the house right here in Arizona. Just to give you a brief introduction of our guest today, if you are curious in marketing and paid ads in upscaling your brand and also developing and creating a personal brand, this is the episode for you. Jason Wojo is a person that I have been seeing on my platforms, all my platforms. He's very good at paid ads. He's one of the best and experts in the specific field. So we're going to dive a bit more deep into that specific field, go in depth in terms of marketing, the effective way to upscale and all that different stuff as well. So again, if you are curious and learning a lot about like just marketing and building your brand, this is the episode for you. So without further ado, the man, the myth, the legend, Jason Wojo himself, how you doing boss? I appreciate it man. I'm excited. Got me out of the house. Let's run it. Awesome man. You know, I want to kind of like just dive in deep and about like obviously paid advertising. I've seen your content for probably like over probably three years, consecutive. You see a lot of ads just running through. So you really are an expert. You're one of the best that I've seen in that field. I want to talk about just when did you start in this market? So this was, geez, I was in culinary school. So that's where I first decided to start my journey when I got out of high school. Went to culinary school, dropped out, realized I hated it. And I wound up going to business school. I've flipping Pokemon cards online. I still do that now. Actually, starting to like push it out more as like a like a side business that we just started with our esports team. But yeah, dude, I went to business school. I started learning about like, you know, the eBay flipping and all that fun. Jazz started seeing shipping costs and packing up my own orders and like basically just like, you know, profit and loss arbitrage. And then from there, I found Tai Lopez's course. So he was talking about SMA, make 10K a month. I was like, oh shit, all right, cool. Like I'll do that. And then I got more into it. Started pitching local businesses like seven day free trials, 14 day free trials. I did like door knocking to like barbershop restaurants, home service, salon stuff like that, you know, stuff where they could pay me 500 bucks a month for social management. Back then, I'll charge about 500 bucks a month for ads. And social management, like I would come there with a camera and fill in myself. And then I would take the videos and images back home, export them, edit them, canva, post, boost posts, all that jazz and build brand, Google my business, do a lot too, build websites too. So then after that, I was at home for three months to finish off my degree. I mean, three years, excuse me, I'll finish my degree. And then from there, I decided to move to Orlando, Florida and just go all in on it. I was making like three grand a month give or take. And I was like, I have enough to like, get a room in a house and like a college house because I was a big introvert. I still am. I'm perfectly okay with it. I feel like introverts are the smartest people anyway. But I did like that whole phase of my life was just like in a house doing nothing, even during college, barely. I didn't really do much. And then when I went to Orlando and lived a bunch of college kids, I started making more money. And then I started to enjoy the things in college I didn't do. Like I went through that phase, bro. I liked the party. I wanted to get out and like being extrovert and saw what it looked like to like chase women and stuff like that. So I did that. And then I got a tire like I got old real quick. And I started building the business more coal calling doing all that jazz referrals. And then from there to start to like invest in myself a lot more. I started going to events masterminds like, you know, I started getting in bigger circles. One of my biggest mentors was Jason Capitoli. He taught me a ton about copyrighting direct response, funnels, upsells, load ticket funnels, webinars, like VSLs, all that jazz did that. And then I just started like really just f***ing ass from there with like load ticket. Load ticket was where I had my biggest like win for sure. And you define what difference you'd high ticket and load ticket for those ones. So high ticket is basically like, you know, group coaching programs, masterminds, one-to-one coaching, done-fuse services, consulting packages, stuff like that. Load ticket is like $47 mini courses, $27 mini courses, $197 like tickets for events. That's like load ticket for webinar offer. That's like $497. That's like a load ticket offer. So yeah, I mean, I was doing load ticket. I went from like 20k mom to near half a mill a month and like a couple months because I sold this 100 ad templates offer. It was $17 offer and would a bunch of upsells. And then I would get people on the phones and close them for like one-on-one coaching. Two, three grand. And I was just pocketing like 15, 20k a day, just closing deals off the phone. And then I got two burnt out. And then I got two burnt out. And I didn't have a team and an understand leadership and understand any of that stuff. And then from there I realized that I needed to build leadership skills. And in our same way, that stuff meant I was like, all right, I make money online. I'm a leader. And then everyone around me was like, dude, you make money but like, one fucking respects you. And I was like, oh, sick. Okay, because when I grew up dude, like I was poor, not like dirt poor, but my parents made like $80,000 a year. And New York. Yeah, in New York, which is kind of poor, but it's like kind of like mid class, I would say. Like I feel like 80 to 120k in New York is like mid class. So yeah, like that's just the way I grew up. And then I started realizing like, hey, I need to be a bit bigger person, post content. Like I was just running ads to low ticket, but I didn't have any brand on the side of it. Like most people who noticed me now have been following me for like three, four years, but I've been in the game for seven. So like no one really knew how I was for the first three years. I really do shit. Like I was just making money selling low ticket selling one to one consulting because I proved the concept was easier to close people on the phone because they bought the thing that I sold. So it's like, hey, you bought my low ticket. Let me help you build yours. It was an easy sale. Now it's like now it's so hard to sell in our space. That's why I have multiple offers. Like I don't know if you are in tune with some of the campaigns I run, but like I have gun for you ads, I have a webinar offer, I have low ticket and I have scaliar ads, which is our events. So I've like four different assets of our business that allow people to enter the ecosystem in like multiple facets. So like now what I've been seeing more than ever is that we're in a trust recession. So no one shit. Exactly. So it's like, you know, you're talking about YouTube and Google and Perf Max, like all these campaigns that are great to have dialed in because they just build more trust, they're more search intent based. Like with Facebook, bro, I'm going in front of you and I'm like, do you have any idea who I am? Well, if you don't, here's who I am. But Google and YouTube is like, I'm looking for help with Facebook ads. Exactly. You know, so it's just like, you know, we spend, I don't know, like maybe 14,000 a day on Facebook just for like my sales team and my agency. And what we're seeing right now is like, dude, TikTok's giving us a higher ROI than Facebook. And it's like, bro, it's weird as hell. Like TikTok gets me a seven X per turn. Facebook's getting me about a three to four YouTube retarded and Google retarded and get about a 20 to 30 X per turn. Oh, yeah. So like, and that's just retarded though. So if everybody who thinks that that's wild, there's no cold traffic on Google yet. There will be soon because I basically do, we got this software that every time you go to my landing page and you click play, it pulls your Facebook data. Really? Okay. So it's called eBoo. He's one of my vents, one of my friends Vence Reid. He owns eBoo and it's like this cool video player. So like you might use YouTube embedded for videos on a landing page or Wistio or Vimeo or Sprout. Whatever hell these platforms are. Shit. E-Boo, you click play. And basically I just grab all your data. And then if I combine it with OpenSend, if you know what OpenSend is, so eBoo is the video player. OpenSend is this line of code that goes on your landing page. And regardless if you opt in or not, I can pull your name and email phone up. So now I can just shoot it over to my setters and my sales team. But I can call you and you never opt into my landing page. That's interesting. So like we combine eBoo with OpenSend. Bro, man, I'm a big homebody, but I will shit on all these marketers online, bro. The shit that we do right now is like absurd. And I don't really talk about it much. Like I'm only touching the surface. And like, what do people get access to that, right? Is it like they can? It's just expensive. All right. It's just expensive. Like, scare money, don't make money. Like OpenSend is, we pay like 8,000 a month. E-Boo is like, it's 300 bucks a month and then $2,000 set up fee. So eBoo is great, dude. Like, if you're going to get anything off the ground, like run eBoo. And do you do high ticket or low ticket sales right now? Oh, okay. So we'll have we'll have low ticket. So basically low ticket will run to $27 course. I've two of them digital product millionaire and then I have webinar starter kit. Okay. So those two will run and then we have like still low ticket. We have skill your ads, which is our event coming up July 26th. That is $47 to 197 for tickets. And that's going to be in Miami at the Ritz Carlton. So we run that and then we just get a bunch of people in a room. And then we sell them. And that's really it. I got some cool guest speakers too. I got Tanner. I got Brandon Carter. I got Daniel G. Tanner. Oh, so that's exciting. And then we have high ticket, which is our webinar offer, done for you ads, social media management. We have AI setters. We have email management. We have website builds, CRM builds. Geez, bro. Anything you could think of we have. And then the question I had, what is one of the most underestimated thing that on Tropic News have concerning paid ads? Like, what don't they know? They don't know what they want to know because they don't want to spend the money to find the answer. Nobody wants to spend the money, which is ridiculous because in everything you do, when you did the masterminds, when I do the masterminds, when I do the connections, like every time you go to those places, even if you don't get the information that you strive to get, you still end up meeting the people that are going to end up like I'm rocking the boat. The relationships and just the simple fact you have to be a part of the community to get it like people expect to put a dollar in and get a shit ton of money out. And that's what people always have expected. And like, dude, that's that's why I am who I am now. And I'm a big homebody. And there's a reason why is because I'm just tired of being the person who tells people things and they don't do anything with it. It's exhausting. It's like, yo, here's how you do X, Y and Z. Here's how I do it. I can go into any business right now. And if I just had access to your credit card, I could probably get you to like a quarter million a month within like six months. It probably just take me like six months. The problem is that no one wants to give up the card and no one wants to put down their ego. So now I'm in this place where like bro, I go over surface level stuff on free content and podcasts, but I want to the real shit. No one, no one. And everybody online will sell it. They'll sell it. They'll be like coaching group. Bro, I don't have any coaching offers. I have no group coaching programs. No one on one. I don't sell biz up. And people always say, dude, you may go all this money. Why don't you sell coaching? Why don't you sell biz up? Because I don't want to create competition. I don't want anyone to know the shit that I've been fucking. I have to check my Google Excel sheet. But if I were to look at all the things I've been coaching on and all the things I've done with mentorship, I probably spend like 800 grand. I'm just like mentorships and coaching. I just don't want anyone to know for $2,000 for $10,000. I went through two trauma and shit to learn. I'm just going to keep it myself. I'm just going to gatekeep. And if you're a loyal paying client, then you'll get it. But if you just want to follow and you like people might watch this and be like, dude, that's crazy. That's absurd. Why are you gatekeeping? Because you're not going to do shit within anyway. I can go on here and get a whiteboard. And I can give you everything that I did to get to a million a month. No one's going to. Even if it was fucking free. But then like when you said people, if they paid the right amount of money, do you have like a subscription base where you have like a cultural people can actually get access to that? Because I know you say you do it yourself ads. Yeah. So the the the done for you is our biggest offer. I don't have anything. The only thing that I do have is my one on one private. What is done for you, though? It just does the ads on run. Yeah. We just do your landing pages. Your offer, your ads, your creatives, your scripting, your tracking, every single traffic source we've run for you. Okay. We give you your videos. We edit them like, bro, it's literally done for you 95%. Wow. And how much is that cost? That is a range is from 3K to $5500 a month. Okay. And then there's my one on one private. The one on one private is I have, I don't know, like 18 clients on the shit right now. I got 18 clients who I just run their ad campaigns. So like they just want access to me. They're like, dude, I just want you to run it. I don't want to talk to it all. Just take it off. Man, these are business owners doing like half a million a month a mill a month. Like they just don't want to touch nothing. They don't want to know nothing about it. So I'm like, all right, cool. I put this private package together and basically what it is is it's 15,000 a month. And then you pay me a second, 15,000 dollars a month. If I make you an extra half a million a month or a double your revenue. Okay. So that's how that offer dibby's up. And that's where most of my money comes from. Because the agency does over a mill a month. I'll do like 800 grand a month just on my one on one private. And then I have load taking all that. And like we're basically scraping two mill a month right now. So that's where the revenue like basically is derived. Makes sense. And one obviously you end up like building a team. Was that when you end up moving here in AZ? Where did you end up like recruiting the people that work for you right now? That was just through brand. Okay. Like I went all so like there are certain sources to where we hire. So like right now on indeed LinkedIn upwork will spend maybe about 500 bucks a day just on ads to get hires to get applications. The fastest way to acquire a plus talent is by having a brand and actually being good at what you do. Exactly. So like if you're getting your business off the ground and you're looking for good hires. I hate to be the one to tell you this. But unless you have a partner who puts money up, you're not going to find a player is see your shit vision and shit foundation and like quit everything they're doing to work for you. What they need to see is this person has a really cool network. This person's running events. This person's trustworthy. This person posts godly how many times a day and now I trust him or I see this guy over my feed. I want to work for him. So many people talk about him. He has a lot of results. Reviews on Google are good. Like there's multiple facets how you track a plus talent. But you can't just wave money in people's faces and expect them to come work for you because they're only money hungry. They're not mission or core oriented into their actual core values. There's nothing else there that motivates them. That's facts man. It's facts. I like that. What what we say is the most effective way of doing ads like and that you've seen results come out of it as well as it's like which platform is the best would you say YouTube? To be honest man, it's not about the ad. It's about the funnel. Like the actual sales process of what divvies up and offer is what dictates every other result. So like for example dude, like our webinar offer does better than every other funnel. Interesting. So all the webinars that we run get better results than a regular book or call funnel. Wow. Like dude, I'll go on a webinar for example. Like last week I did this at one on a webinar and I spent no money on ads. I do spend my hands but I'll break this time you have context. So I spend about maybe a thousand bucks a day running ads to school. The school is this group we have where we get a thousand people. We spend a thousand bucks a day. We'll get about maybe like 90 people a day to join and we just stock this group with people. Okay. We take those 90 people and run through a weekly webinar. So they opt in for school. They get a bunch of free courses and content and then they join the weekly webinar. That week webinars where I pitch a $6500 offer. $6500 offer. That gets pitched to them. If I get 700 people a week, I'll get a hundred people to show up on the webinar. I'll easily close like 35, 40K on a webinar off $7000 an hour's an ads bet. So I'll run that for seven K and all the newly joined school are free. And if I get one buyer of that's it. Let's say it's stunk shit. And I got one no sales commissions 20% payroll. I'm close to break even and those people got my school group for free. That's where I look at it. It's like a self-liquidating weekly webinar. Okay. Interesting. Last week I have 116,000 people on my list. Now 60,000 don't have D&D on and all that shit and then X amount you can't text. I text it only 3000 people. Got them on a webinar real quick and still did 25K. So I sold four people on the offer and like dude it's this thing where it's like bro the webinars. You sell one to many. You build more rapport. If no one trusts you, they're gonna trust you after an hour. And that's why I do podcasts. Like I like doing podcasts. I made the joke that I like to stay at home. But I only need the house for a couple reasons. Bro, either doing a I'm doing a podcast, running my event, playing basketball, or I'm going to get a stock of cigars. I like showing them a bag of shit. I'm just fucking don't have naked enjoy my fucking life. It's the way I roll. So like that's what I do now. And then or I'm speaking to someone else's event. I love that man. And right now somebody watching right now, I mean Jason Rojo, you Tana, fear the guys are just very well known and they've been very consistent in the game for like X amount of years. If somebody's out there watching this and wants to try and build a personal brand, what's the first step that you be doing right now? First thing is like really figuring out what your voice and brand is. I know that sounds very vague. But let me explain like you have to have this like unique counterpart to you. So like for me for the longest time, dude, I didn't have a brand. It was just like this guy runs ads. But now I'm starting to pick up this brand where it's like there's a couple facets. One is the guy that's all over my feed. Two is the guy with the mustache. And three is the guy that hates on the gym. Like those are like my three things. And it's like dude, the crazy part is bro is this guy made a video about me about a month or two ago. Do this can be interesting topic. What is it a polar buster? No, I'm not. No. So that's the thing. A lot of you will have asked me, you'll do it. I've seen a lot of content about you. And I'm like bro, I've never been on Bologna. No one really talks shit about me and you only get hate from people who are below. Straight out. Precisely. So this guy made a video. His name's Tony. Okay, he got a sales call with me. Tried to basically click me. I ran this special offer through text message. Because some people want to be like, why are you taking sales calls? I don't take sales calls. Don't worry. I did a special offer. I was like, yo, if it takes about a money, get in the phone. And then I will show you what our offer looks like. So they paid this deposit or whatever. And this guy gets on the call. You're starting to pick my brain about my offer. I start realizing half of the call like this guy isn't here by. He's here to funnel hack the shit out of us right. Interesting. So he gets on the call and basically he takes the recording and he's like, yeah, dude, my friend, Jamil used you. And you know, he said that he didn't a great experience. And I was like sick, dude. I go into high roasts into the **** out. I don't mind talking about this shit. I go into their account and he had about a 1.8 to 2.2 row as on the front end with his brand Astro Blaster. Okay. I got all the screenshots and all the proof. For two months, he signed for a six month agreement for a 10k month offer that I was running at the time. Now it's 15k a month. I got to about the one on one private. Did it for 10k a month for two months decided to back out and basically blocked his bank account from me and said that what I was doing was not working. He didn't finish his part of the agreement. And then on top of it, the 997 that was telling them the pitch. I was like, dude, you need to have an ascension. You need to have something else at the 997. We can't just make money on a 997 front end webinar. You got to have something else on the back end. And he's like, no, I don't want to do it. Coach, I don't want to do this. I don't want to that. I was like, okay, cool. Then you're just going to make money up to 997, dude. I know, no, what to tell you? And then he missed webinars for three weeks, made this video. And the crazy part is, bro, is that we made more **** after he was talking shit. So it is a case sometimes. It is. So I was like, dude, keep going, keep going. And it's funny because like two weeks ago, I sent him a screenshot. It's like a laugh. I was like, dude, thanks for my biggest month ever. And he was like, oh, dude, blah, blah, blah, basically just snickering back. I was like, bro, when you get hate, you just make more money. That's why now I'm kind of just okay with the whole like gem brand, like how I made those videos. Like this, it's hilarious. It's just like, it's fun, you, you could be like, you could be loud, but you could also be the quietest person in the room. So you could be loud with your brand and the videos you make. But I'm just like really quiet personal. No, but you see it's so okay with that. I've met people that are very close to to take as well. As much as it may be a very loud person that I doubt there. Many people that said the closest to say is probably usually the most quiet is when there's no cameras around a very introverted person. But it also knows what to say to get the targeted audience as well. So some of the people that some of the like an introverted extrovert is what I call those people like, you know, when they know when to speak, but they don't speak all the darn time. Does that make sense? It's being calculated. So I'm just playing chess every single move is a chess piece. That also alludes to why our ads have done well for so long. I will purposely do things in videos that make people comment or get mad. So like, I'll purposely not shave, right? And I'll do ads so that people can comment, oh, he doesn't shave. I'll purposely leave pimples on my face. I'll purposely do things that trigger the actual avatars. Interesting. I'll also do things where I'll be in front of my car. I'll make a video, piss people off because the more engage in your ads get, the higher they rank on the feed. So like, if I'm running ads and I just make like simple ad images, they'll do well, but then they stop doing well off their certain amount of time. They do really well off the rip and then the consistency lies in and then starts to blind because there's not enough hate and shit in the comment section. Interesting. Quick hack. I'll give everybody is if you go on your Instagram and Facebook and you put these things in called hidden words or banned words, you can get more people to comment on your posts and the banned words won't show up in the comment section, but it will count towards your engagement score. Wow. I never knew that. So like, if I go on Facebook and I put like, I know all the comments by the way that I usually get. So I had chat, RPG scraped all my comments, what's the most commonly used words? And they are skinny, I'll scan, Hitler, all the shit. So I'll take all that and I'll upload them. And then when people comment, I get a notification, but it blocks it from the public. Interesting. I never knew that. That's fascinating. And I know you and I we spoke about it earlier on. Right now we at the market where people on so trustworthy that they don't want to end up spending on ads as well. With those people that necessarily sting you without seeing the potential in that, but also those that actually have a limited budget. What is, would you recommend is the best way to try and like use ad effectively with a smaller budget? I mean, with a smaller budget, it is tough because you have to get out and learning phase. The only way you're getting out of learning phase would be 50 conversions in seven days. So you have to get out of learning phase with 50 bucks. You got to basically get like $7 or less with 50 bucks a day with low budget ads. And the funny part is that I know people who talk about this thing now, everyone's got this new mechanism now where it's like someone came out with this this program, it talks about low budget ads. And I'm like, dude, all these coaching programs teach you how to be cheap and a shitty business owner. They don't teach you how to run ads, build a team, build systems, roll, roll duplication, why there's break points at 1 million, 3 million, 7 million, 10 million, like all these things that no one teaches. My girlfriend bought this program from somebody. It was like 10k. It taught them how to run DM ads for a hundred bucks today. And like, bro, you need to learn how to build a team, have systems, have a good product, have roll duplication, how to build an actual customer journey and how to do all this shit and no one wants to teach you. You want to why no one wants to teach it? Because it doesn't get conversions. It's boring. No one, if I made an ad and I was like, yeah, I'm going to teach you how to build your build your hierarchy and build your team's SOPs and how to hire the right CMO and how to hire the right CEO and replace yourself and you know, make sure your payroll say that's 25% of your gross revenue. No one's going to opt into that ad because it's boring. But if I make an ad and I'm like, here's how to make 10 grand in 30 days using this one simple ad. Now I get people to click because they're just idiots. They don't understand what a bitch. They're clicking all the shit that people don't need. Right? And it's just like, dude, just making sense. How to build the highest converting funnel? Take my templates. That's not a business. That's one aspect out of like 80. You need to have a good offer, good journey, good infactuation, good copy, good storytelling, good you need mechanism, and then your funnel. What about the VSL? How does the tracking setup? Do you have your tags from GA4? Like all these things that actually matter. And then you run it with a Facebook page and has no posts. And you're like, Oh, yeah, I should do well. I was told that the landing pages, all that matters. So I do. It's crazy, bro. You got to post every day. You got to have a good email us. Where's your welcome sequence? Browse a pandemic? Where are you tracking everything? Where's your UTM parameters? Like all these things that actually build a business? And then they actually get onto a sales call. Where's your setter? Where's your salesperson? Where's your pitch deck? Why's your off? We're not converting. Does your contingencies suck on your guarantee? Like what are all these things that are breaking in your business? And then people have these bold guarantees and you see all these businesses crashing with these guarantees, these stupid ass guarantees, guarantee you 15 clients and 30 days of the ball. And then you hop on the sales call, bro. And they're like, you must have 10,000 followers. You must have this. You must have all these contingencies or the guarantee is removed. And now they're clickbaiting you. And it's like, dude, the only thing we sell in our ad is we will run your ads for you. We've done this for seven years. We've done nine figures online. We don't say any guarantees in the ads because that's FTC on compliant. You can't do that stuff. The only guarantees you can have are a setup fee with the ROI basis. So you have the charts of setup fee and then you say, hey, listen, you're going to pay X amount and then you pay your second payment when you make an ROI back, but you can't say ROI guaranteed. Like dude, all these offers I see in the space are ruining that trust recession that we were talking about. When you see all these guarantees and should do like, and it's very thankful for me because I run such a very integrity compliant business that I'm not worried about. Shit. I love that so much. I want you to give me personal advice. So right now we're about to touch, I think by the end of the week, we're probably doing 40 K subs. The goal by the end of the year is 100 plus, but then the entire purpose is trying to do courses, we're trying to draw, we're going to do like low ticket sales as well. But at the same time, when there's another show that I'm going to be starting co-hosting, it's going to be like a kind of a side hustle show for the things and people that have experienced certain stuff as well, but it's going to be live. Like YouTube lives, I've seen people that have such a less amount of subs, but just build a community where people are doing super chats and they're just building as well. What advice would you give me? What's the first thing I would? I would not do the second show. I would focus on what you're good at, which is one thing. Okay. Do not get distracted. That's everyone's fuck up. But what's wrong? Can I say off that touch 100? That's the thing. Because right now we're consistent in releasing almost every day and by next week. So these podcasts go up, and this is what got you to 40,000 subs. Yes. Just keep doing this. Don't do anything else. Why would you do anything else? You got to 40k subs. You got more subscribers on YouTube than I. Why would you stop the thing that got you to 40k? Because you're getting shiny object syndrome. Like, why do another show about side hustles when you can just do the same shit now? You can just have her plug in live and we can just do the same shit live. Interest him. And put up a board and let us just run through questions. But isn't it the fact of like diversifying where people just feel so stagnant and they want to try and innovate and stuff like that? So you could take this and this could just be like a whole lot better. Like, why don't you take this? Go live and maybe you get, you have people start buying your programs on how you've done this. And you could teach about Google ads and you could teach about the side hustles on this and then just do these on y'all. Do these on cool like go rent out a fucking skyscraper bar or something and do them there. And go live and then turn into a kick and turn to a YouTube live and start streaming and go on Twitch and do that instead. When I look at building a business bro, you have built the core foundation of our economy, which is, which is attention. You get views, you get people to watch your stuff. The last thing you should be doing is doing something else. Why do I only run a market? Because I don't bore you with all the other shit that you don't know I run because I don't want to market it. Once you buy from us, then you'll find out about it. That's the last thing I would do, bro. I would go hard around this. I would put ads behind this and take your videos of things you want to pitch. You just put them on pre-roll in front of your podcast. Just one pre-roll lives on YouTube pitching the thing that you're selling. Do many pitches during the podcast of either a sponsor, right? Or you do something in the description and then just keep capitalizing on this, bro. So actually, now I love that. I love them. And I think you actually spot on because I think that's what happens with people sometimes, especially when they spot businesses. It's like, oh my gosh, let's jump into that now that I've done so that let's do roofing as well. And then before you know what they're investing there, everything starts collapsing as well. So if you're alive, that advice. I appreciate that. Which kind of goes and segues to my next question actually. He worked with multiple clients and you've seen success of many. And from those that were really successful in utilizing and transforming conversion and making sure they get revenue and whatever they're doing. And those that started just, I had a bad experience. This is so awful. What was the difference between the two? Dimension in the good and the bad client. What are the what good? What did they do differently? They just shut the fuck up and listen. That probably the first thing. That's definitely the first thing. So first thing is when they don't listen, they're paying in the ass. Okay. Two is on realistic expectations that they never got from us. Right. So what happens is this first month, they're running ads, they're the bad client and they're like, I'm only getting a 1.5 return. I see all these ads of you online and these testimonials and they're making more money than I'm doing. What's the catch? They had a different business in you. They were a different person. They had a different offer, different landing page, different ad, different copy, different sales team, different setter. You just suck right now and you need to get better. Either you're not you're not fulfilling your offer correctly. Did you build an ascension product? What's your team like? Oh, you got a bunch of people in Pakistan doing shit. Okay. Makes sense now. Why they're not enjoying the client experience. You're trying to be cheap with VA's or your product sucks and you tell all these people that it's great. Like there's so many things where you're revealed a hood on somebody like bro, there's just so many things. We had a guy this morning example dude. This is why man. I fucking stay inside more than ever. These these people online that try to take stuff and then they run with it and they think that they can get away. We had a guy this morning bro. He used to fight for our country. I'm like, oh dude, this guy's got to be nice. He's got to be a nice person. He fall for our country really down to earth person. Yeah. No, that was complete and utter bullshit. Okay. He basically comes on our ecosystem takes our ads for a month and then kicked us out of all the accounts and he said, oh, I'm going in a different change. I'm going in a different direction. And I was like, dude, you took all our stuff and ran and I thought that you were nice because you fall for our country. Like, dude, I do not take anything for face value anymore. Words and actions don't matter. When you swipe at your credit card, let's see only vote that actually is going to make any sense anymore. So now I have to attach myself from outcomes and just stuff like that. It's just like ridiculous. That's fascinating. I guess you get to see people's true colors as soon as they get something out of you as well. One of the biggest. So I read Matthew McConaughey's recent book and one of the things he talks about is he's like, dude, everyone will show you their true colors. Just give them time. And the crazy part is that most people don't give them time because they're impatient. So they just assume that everything's great. You got to give people time and they'll show you what what what what what their true colors are. That's so sad. But now we've seen the the utilization and the transformation of AI and and also like, I mean, you see automation. Where do you think that's going to be happening in terms of disrupting the paid ad industry? I mean, dude, the AI thing I use it for efficiency, but I wouldn't use it to replace my marketing and copy and offer knowledge. It's very hard to see AI replace like really good marketing. Like, you can't make a Hollywood like ad with an AI. It just doesn't add up. Like we've tried it or not naive to it and it just doesn't perform better. It doesn't do the same storytelling. It's good for ideation. It's it's good for writing like email and SMS follow ups and like help with other aspects of the offer, but what it's not good at is building out a campaign from start to finish. It's it's just not it's not the same thing. And people are using this AI thing with the lip moving and the lip sync. It looks so fake, dude. Like the AI ads where you're standing there in front of the camera and you're trying to talk to and it's supposed to AI it. It just doesn't look realistic. And also the biggest thing with AI for our business, it's different because I don't want to use AI against you as the prospect because what are you going to think your whole campaign is going to be AI and they don't want that. Exactly. So I'm in a different B2B niche where that just does not work well. Right. If they if I said, Hey, I'll plant an AI set on your business. Now it's more feasible. It's a lot easier. But if I said, Hey, your whole marketing campaign from the voice to the landing page to the person they speak to on the phone is all AI, they're now going to want to refund. They're not going to like it. I couldn't agree more. And I think that's that's the new trend that's been happening and person for me, you know, sometimes it was randomly I mean, from South Africa, I told you about this. I don't know if you've done any other safaris down there, but like right now there's all these AI safaris are just taking away from the actual like that, you know, the videographer and like they're actual AI safaris. Yeah, that you see a lot popping up and like on social media and it's the way so the so the tiger and the giraffe and shit are fake on our being fake. Yeah, it's that's my point. It's like everything has just become what automated walk inside. I literally don't understand that at all. That's like me going on a cruise and getting it AI. It's ridiculous, you know, so I think that's it's been heading down there. And I think that's the the problem right now. And I think if people can just utilize it effectively, it can become an asset, but it can also become detrimental if it's not done and you trust perfectly. Yeah, I mean, we're losing human touch too. Like dude, all this stuff where you can fabricate what someone looks like too. AI edits to a to a pay, like no wonder why dating is so tough now. Like I'm fine. I'm in a relationship. Like I'm not worried. But like dude, I see a lot of my friends where they struggle with relation because they're so disconnected because their personalities are shit because the internet told them that it was okay to act that way. And they're not really like authoritative figures that deserve a partner or deserve a spouse. They're just like like they're degenerates. And they think that all they're funny or all they have a good personality, but like it's so fabricated, bro, it's so crazy. Man, that's crazy. And I agree. It's like dude, the whole dating scene is just so shit now. There's all these apps and like expectations and like what a man should and should not. What a woman is, what you know what I'm saying, what a man should cash at least at the alternate with it should be what height she should be and all these different stuff. What he should be able to do. Meanwhile, you're a baby woman. Like women are like women are doing this whole thing now where it's like yeah, you know, I don't want a data guy that's shorter than me or I don't want a data guy unless you six feet tall. What do you bring to the table? Like what does that even mean? Like I'm six feet. That's cool, but I don't want to be presented by value based on my height. Like are you stupid? Like it makes no sense dude. It's crazy. And then you and then women complain all the time. They're like I can't find a man. I'm like yeah because you like one yourself. No one wants to date themselves. Yeah, and I get it easy. I interviewed a relationship coach actually and she was because she's a Scandinavian born in Russia but she was talking about the essence of and the importance of femininity. And how women should be able to embrace that because right now there's a bit of a conflict of interest right now where they're trying to take up male roles and it's just been conflicting because she's just talking about how you embrace your nature as a woman. You know, all these characteristics that make you women and men and men. And that's why they coincide. They work perfectly well together. So not a go of topic, but I couldn't agree more with what you're saying by the way. So man, you've done over for clients as well, about over 150 million obviously in terms of paid ad revenue. What's probably been the biggest lesson in that timeframe and that figure specifically for you and your business? I think the best like the most important thing I learned is that if you just think it's one problem, you're probably wrong. Like all the businesses that have done the best with us, they're open to us solving other problems for them. Interesting. So like their ads are doing well, but like their sales team sucks. Okay, buy sales training. So in other words, just seeing an iceberg before it actually crashes. Yeah, yeah. And they're okay with investing in beating the actual curve before it hits. So like they just move with speed, bro, it's all urgency. Like people just people are under this connotation. And this is the worst customers, bro. The ones who buy something and they expect the world from it for the one thing and they take for a make the buying decision. That's why the course industry gets so much shit because the person who took three weeks to buy because they had to think about it, they had to talk to their dog, their cat, their husband, all this. They had to get on 13 sales calls to find out the solution. They buy it because it's the cheapest, which then in turn becomes the shittiest. Because usually with my experience at the door door, they get the cheapest, but they expect the top of the range treatment. Basically, it's a beer wall at wine taste. That's literally what it is, bro. And that's where the worst customers come into play. They're like, they have a beer wall at wine taste. And that's just the way most of the world is, bro. The way the shit is. People also want to know too much. When they buy something from you or me or anybody, they always ask the most questions. Oh my, dude, let us handle the shit. Shut up. Just pay us. Here's what it looks like. And just get the fuck out of here. Like, what are you like, why are you asking so many questions? It's funny because some of my sales guys will come over the house and they like to show me I like to build culture and like, I'm nice to all the people. Like, very intimate with me. Not intimacy. Don't run with the shit. Okay. We have intimate relationships. Okay, very personable. Go to dinner, vacation together. We know everything from head to toe about each other. Okay. These people know that I'm a really nice, nice, nice person. And it's because there is a mutual level of respect that comes with relationships with people who are just too busy to have a shit on. It's with the world works. The biggest thing that they see that they wish that they got on the phone was the way that I take sales calls. So like, if I go on a call right now for a software, let's say I got on on this more. And the guy's like, yo, what's going on? 100 a day. I'm like, bro, I'll be honest, man. Like, no one gets a shit. How my days go? How much is this shit? He's like, it's three grand. I'm like, all right. Cool. Here's my car. He's like, you know what, you're getting it. I'm like, I don't need to know what I'm getting. I just saw the website. It looks fucking good, bro. I get it. I don't need to know what it is. I don't need to know what the features are. I don't need to know when the onboarding call is going to be. I don't care if it takes two weeks to onboard me. Like, I'm patient. I don't care. I'd rather on this call for a minute, get it over with and be on here for 30 minutes and waste your fucking time. So here's my car. Charge me. I'll talk to you guys. Send me an email, onboard, piece the hell out. And that's how my calls go. He's like, bro, I wish we got props like that on the phone. I just don't want to sit there for 30 minutes and talk about random shit that no one cares about. The software does this. All right. Cool. I mean, I just look at things so differently. And that's the part about the best clients is that those clients, given the phone, they're like, dude, I'm in. I've been following you for two years. My marketer sucked. I don't want a bunch of people from freaking Pakistan and India do just run my stuff. I'm like, cool. Here's what it costs. Four months, 15K. They're like, dude, I'm in. Here's my card. I'm like, thank you. Have a good one. They're not sitting there going. So how many ads do I get? How many f***gatives do you make? Do I have to record the videos? Like, no shit, dude. You have to record the videos. And it's really this thing, bro, where you look at two paradigms. You look at that client, good client. The biggest differentiation is common sense. Hands down, bro. And common sense is not common anymore while you're driving, while you're eating food, like ordering at a restaurant. Like, dude, I was at a restaurant yesterday and I ordered something from the menu. I was like, yeah, I would like f***gum meatballs. She's like, you want that as an appetizer? I'm like, bro, no shit. It says it on the menu. Apatizer, wagum meatballs. And then you're asking, man, do you want this as an appetizer? I'm like, that's why you make $7 an hour. All right. F***ing next. And so like, dude, it's the shit across the board. There's no common sense. And while driving, bro, there's so many accidents. People driving with burnt out tail lights. They don't have their lights on at night. They're trying to eat while driving. Like, bro, the common sense is dead, bro. It's just so dead. It's so bad, man. It's terrible. Maybe you can resolve the problem by running for office. Jason, what do you think about that? Dude, I would love to have a common sense 101 course. I feel like that would sort of God, dude. You know, it's funny. I actually have the domain. I bought it years ago. Really? Yeah. It's common sense course. And then I've common sense 101. I always thought about dropping a common sense course. No, you're like for real. Word of God. I have. He's going, bogey, it's gone. I have it. And then dude, like, they're like my friend called me yesterday. He's like, dude, like me and my girl having problems. You know, I went to this pool party. I say, I'm much of my friends. And there's a bunch of women there. My girlfriend got mad. I'm like, no shit. She's going to get mad. Dude, there's a bunch of half naked women at a pool. And you didn't invite her. And you went there on your own with your friends that are a **** guys who are single. What do you think, dude? Like, of course, she's going to be mad because it's crazy, bro. No, dude. I love it, brother. I had a quick question. Now, onto the entrepreneurial space. What's probably been the biggest lesson for you as an entrepreneur over time as well? Biggest lesson. Penny saved. There's not a penny earned. That's powerful. There's money behind that. And I think, you know, everything that's been mentioned, if I would just summarize it, going out there and just investing. It's the thing in the day, whether you're doing a brand, whether you're doing a course, everything is about investing into yourself as well. Because you're paying for somebody that's had the experience by helping you get the shortcut to try and avoid what they are currently that, you know, that they face as well. And I think that's what I want people to understand, especially with the results I've seen in terms of paid. I was a very skeptical, but I'm like, why should that pay? I can't, you know, again, you grow. It does. It can happen. But you're not at the space where your traffic can end up, like running through like Mr. Beast and like all these people that actually have a brand where the one post is a, the Trumps market. Like not everyone's going to be her mosey. Exactly. So it's like, you know, do her mosey's content's great. It's important. It's valuable. He does a very good job with production and all that jazz, but not everyone's going to just like post eight pieces of content a day and be the next hours for mosey. So you have to have that paid ads supplement. And that's why I'm going to kind of agree with you because people go to these seminars, like post every day, but I'm like, buddy, you've been stuck on a hundred followers for the last two, three years. Do something boost that do something instead. And the problem is that if they don't see a win there, they're not going to see a win somewhere else. Exactly. Because now they're in the fear base mode, like fear base thinking instead of results base thinking. So it's like, I've been posting for three years. I haven't gotten results. What makes me think that this thing for 15K is going to get me results. And that's where they start losing faith in the actual thing that they're being pitched because they got an ego around the fact that they think that they know their business the best, but their business sucks. So they don't know anything. It's like this weird like cyclical cycle, dude. It's obscure, but it's the way people operate. Now before we even like conclude, is there any like hacks that are very simple, common sense and very basic that a common person might not be able to pick up in terms of like ads? So in other words, let me rephrase the problem. What advice or how do you help clients emotion and connect with their audience when ads can feel so transactional? So I mean, that's just the mix of offer and storytelling. Okay. So there's your offer, which is like, what do you do in one sense? Like what's your result driven promise? And then there's storytelling. How do we link the offer to a story that then emotionally infact ways them to a CTA that makes it okay to click and be a part of that journey? That's the only thing that's different that we do is we just do really good storytelling. You have to have a story. Like when I go to my events and I tell my story about, you know, how I had h** of hormone deficiency and how I didn't make any money and how no one fucking cared about what I had to say. And then I started, you know, investing in myself wouldn't even had less money and I still made it work and I started spending money on ads when I was making three grand a month and all this shit. And I got all the screenshots everything to back it up. Everyone's like, damn, I'm not doing enough. So like the storytelling is what really helps out of time. And it's gotta be a relatable story to where they are and who's in the room. And that's where reading the room makes a huge difference. Like some people make ads and then they start complaining about lead quality. Like all the leads aren't that great because I'm like, dude, you need to say in the ad, if you're a coach to intend grand a month, here's what I can do for you. Instead of just saying, here's what I think you need to be specific with who the hell you're targeting and then the story will then back it up. And then when they get on the sales call and the whole pitch is a story backed by the mechanism that you developed. Now they're bought it. It's easier to sell with a unique mechanism and a story that actually backs up what your claim is and results from promise and anything else. But most people's offers are very like, baby. It's very like click, bae, guarantee, get a ton of money really quick. Like it's just weird. So like that's why people have lost trust in what the story is and the mechanism and why the offer even makes sense. Wow. And that's the hardest part of people to digest. That's that's powerful. I can't believe it's almost like been an hour right now. But just get Jason Volga to open up. Maybe you have a whole podcast episode right then I appreciate that. But before we conclude, I'll ask all my entrepreneurs and you know, the amount of entrepreneurs that I've met and I just love the fact that before we conclude, when I've met like you, Tanner Dre, all these guys that are doing super well that are super yum. One of the things that all having commented that you've spent so much money in investing in yourself in terms of mentorship. So I want to just add that as well because where you guys are at right now. Yes, it's great, but there's people that help you get there and you paid them to get there. You know what I'm saying? So as you conclude, I'll just tell people, you know, insights you need to date to seize the world tomorrow. My podcast is called the Code to Winning. Everyone's got a different answer for this. But for Jason Volga, what does the term winning mean for you? Taylor Man's probably one of my favorite quotes is winning for me is just a consistent, a consistent flywheel of just being able to not cry in the storm but dance in the rain. I think that's probably the biggest thing. A lot of people bitch too much of things I just no one cares about. And you might as well just take it in, deal with the shit and just move on. Like if you decide to go into business, you're always going to have problems. Winning is just you being able to say, hey, listen, I took a couple of L's like, let me just get a W. The W's are if you turn a W upside down, it's an M in the M stands for momentum. So if you ride momentum, momentum energy, you just keep growing and scaling.
