2 SMMS, two totally different outcomes


Hey Reader,

Sarah took Ads Manager Academy and never offered ads to a single client.

She uses everything she learned to run ads for her own freelance business. No ad management retainers. Just better marketing for herself.

Marielle did the opposite. She runs ads alongside her organic social media management service, bolting ads on as an extra service for the clients she already has.

Same course. Two completely different outcomes. Both wins.

We say this because you might be thinking "but what if I'm not sure I want to be a full-time ads manager?"

You don't have to be.

Ads management runs anywhere from £750 to £1,500 a month per client.

So, just one client pays for the course with a single invoice. And even if you only ever use it on your own business, like Sarah did, you'll spend the rest of your career running better marketing campaigns for your own business and never wondering if you're throwing money away.

Either way learning this skill is a no brainer.

At this point, we've taught hundreds of SMMs in Ads Manager Academy, and now it's your turn.

The course is usually £1,250, but you can pay just £499 with code AMA499 until 10pm on Friday (after that, the price goes back up).

Friday at 10pm, the price goes back to £1,250.

Have you ever had an idea pop into your head, thought it was half-decent, and then within half an hour you'd already talked yourself out of it? You were excited. Then your brain got in the way, and you binned it off without ever testing whether it was a go-er? Maybe you got one step further and asked someone else's opinion, but it's hard to tell whether your idea's any good when you keep asking the wrong people. Your partner says, "Yeah, sounds great, babe," because they love you. Your mum...

Hey Reader, Whenever we mention delegating tasks to AI, we hear the same hesitation from freelance social media managers: "But I don't want to contribute to AI taking away human jobs!" And we completely validate that fear. It shows you care about our industry. But as business owners, we need to look at the reality of the situation. Here is the harsh truth... If you are a solopreneur currently doing 100% of the work in your business because you can't afford to hire a human assistant... You are...

Hey Reader, Most freelance SMMs price their first non-retainer offer at £29. Or £47. Or £67 if they’re feeling brave. Then they sell ten, make £290, and conclude that group offers don’t really work for them. The problem isn’t the offer. It’s the price. When you’re pricing a group offer at £29, you’re pricing it like a PDF. Like the thing being sold is the document, the video, or the templates. It isn’t. The thing being sold is your expertise and experience, packaged in a way that lets...
