All this means is we don’t have a slot available at this time. We really are invested in our clients and we don’t believe in overloading our schedules.

Plus, we don’t ONLY do ads.

Bonnie has multiple pen names she writes for, 6 kids she homeschools, other businesses she runs, as well as volunteering for her church. Time isn’t something that grows on trees.

Mandie has pen names she’s working on growing as well, 2 kids she homeschools, other businesses she runs as well as helping her husband with his business. She’s tried taking out a credit card for time, but they’re not available yet.

Rest assured, we will put you on our list and reach out as soon as we have something available come up. If you’d rather not go on the list, that’s okay, too!

I’ve had people tell me that I should just take them on, regardless of their catalog or anything else.

Sorry, that’s not the way we work. Our retainer fee isn’t cheap. Ad spend isn’t cheap.

What kind of a business or PERSON would I be, if I took your money while knowing from the beginning you’re not going to get that big of a return? I don’t think I’d like to be that person.

If we look over your stuff and we agree to work with you or we waitlist you, it means that even if your product/business needs a little bit of tweaking, it’s going to be fairly easy changes to make or you don’t need to make any and we feel confident that with the right ads and audiences, we can get you making money, or more money.

But if we can’t confidently look at your catalog and think that, then it’s a no from us. And we feel bad, but at the same time, we would feel even worse if we took your money while KNOWING we couldn’t do anything for you.

Why do you think it’s so much money?

I think it’s a valid question, but at the same time, you’re looking for someone to manage your ads, save you time. Even if you know ads and you like doing them, do you have the time to run them for yourself?

They take time. They take knowledge. And even if you have that knowledge, do you want to put your time and energy into running them for your catalog?

That’s why we’re here. We know the platforms we manage. We know them well. We also know trends, and how to make ads work. Without too much testing.

That’s what you’re getting with us. We’ve got the knowledge and experience ALREADY. Testing for your work will be very straightforward and easy.

As soon as we feel your work is finished testing, we’ll begin scaling.

Do you know how to scale? Do you want to babysit it like we do? If you do, then maybe you need to apply to be one of our ad managers. (No, but seriously, let’s talk)

If you’re ready to take your work to the next level, you pay for people to manage sections of your business. That’s what we do. We manage ads. And we do a pretty dang good job of it, too.

Minimum is $150 for the month. But, if you’re hiring us to run your ads, it’s probably in your best interest to at least match the retainer fee.

Keep in mind, FB will spend your money like air. So if you tell us $30 a day, we’re going to spend $30 a day. Period.

If you tell us $50 a day in AMS ads however, we’re going to bust our butts to get there, but it takes a while (AMS, sigh). We’ll most likely get there faster than you would think, but it will still take time. Plan on that daily budget being met for a funds availability thing, but don’t count on it.

Everything is run through your own ad accounts, so you can see what is set up for what.

You might not.

But first, you WILL NOT touch the ads. At all. You won’t make changes. You won’t turn things off, etc. That’s part of the agreement with working with us.

Your ad account essentially becomes ours. If you make any changes and we don’t know about it, those changes are then undocumented and if makes any changes in your income, we can’t track it. We track everything.

Everything.

You don’t touch the ads.

You do, however, reach out to us and discuss what you don’t like, why, and what you want changed.

Here’s the thing though. If you’ve hired us, most likely you’ve tried other ad managers or running ads yourself. How’d that work for you? If you came to us, you most likely didn’t have great success doing it that way.

So don’t try to get us to do it that way as well. We have our own systems and methods in place after running hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads over years and with many, many clients. We feel confident our methods work.

Don’t Touch The Ads

Bonnie and Mandie will be at CEX in Cleveland, OH in May 2024, Orlando Reads Books in October 2024 as well as Author Nation in Las Vegas in November 2024.

We'd love to meet you!
