  • Check the metrics.
  • Use empowering/educational content and retarget people who engage in the previous ad.

Expert Cast Ad Example

Television Ads
  • Television uses Cost Per Impression or CPM.
  • CPM is around $36 to reach 1000 people.
  • The impression doesn't mean interacting with the ad; it means it passes their eye space.

When is the best time to start this Ad strategy
  • There are a lot of entrepreneurs now who are in fear mode.
  • People are being conservative and pulling away capital.
  • The supply is high, and prices go down.
  • Now is the best time to start the ad strategy.
