Now, the conversation is not about me telling you paid ads are evil and organic is the only answer.

This is about helping you understand where your return on investment is actually coming from as a coach or online service provider, because there's a very big difference between paying for attention and building visibility that keeps working for you.

Visibility feels harder than it used to because the online space is so crowded.

Social media reach feels very inconsistent because what is the algorithm doing and who is even in charge of it anyway? I like to joke and say, I think the people that are in charge of the algorithm still don't know what the algorithm is doing, right? Also, everyone online is shouting, just run ads, just run ads.

But faster eyeballs and better business growth are not always the same thing because visibility is not the same as conversion.
