Follow-up questions they answered

How can I lower high CPM costs on Facebook ads?
James Santiago found that Kurt's 'dollar a day' strategy allows him to drive CPMs down from the $200 range to $50 or lower at will. This methodology increases reach within the database, allowing Facebook's auction to work more effectively for the advertiser. — James Santiago
Is the Your Ad Coach methodology effective across different industries?
Yes, James Santiago emphasizes that the key to this system is that it works across any niche. He has successfully applied these micro-budget strategies across multiple client accounts in various industries to maintain results and retain clients. — James Santiago
How does Black Box Social Media help media buyers save time?
Santiago notes that the team implements AI-driven processes that allow him to 'get his time back.' By moving away from manually managing every aspect to leveraging their specific workflows, he was able to transition from just having a job to scaling his business. — James Santiago
Can software alone automate the customer testimonial process?
Nick Bridges found that software programs promising automation often fail; he previously used an app that generated clicks but zero testimonials. He switched to Share One because their human-led process actually gets clients to complete the testimonial. — Nicholas Carl Bridges
What has been the overall impact of hiring Share One for your business?
Since hiring Share One, we've been able to delegate this task that we see as instrumental to our business and building trust with our customers to a company that's professional. It's really been a no-brainer. It's been a time saver, a money saver, and a headache saver. — Nicholas Carl Bridges
Who are you and what does your company do?
