Free · 7 days · no pitch

The 7-day starter series.

One short email a day for seven days. Everything you need to know about paid acquisition before you spend a dollar — written by someone who's spent a lot of dollars. No upsells embedded in the lessons.

What you'll get

  1. Day 1

    The auction, the bid, the algorithm. What you're actually paying for and why CPM moves around.

    Why the hook beats the offer in 2026, and 5 hook structures that work right now.

    Forget dashboards. The simple math that tells you whether you're winning or losing today.

  5. Day 5

    The testing budget rule, the kill rule, and how to know when an ad is actually dead vs. just slow.

  6. Day 6

    Scaling: when to push and when to hold

    Why most operators scale losers and starve winners. The simple rule that fixes it.

  7. Day 7

    What to do next, by where you are
