I'm looking to hire a new ad manager. They don't need to be client-facing. I want them to handle the technical work, such as code implementation, account setups, and ongoing technical management. The last time I hired an ad manager, I used OnlineJobs.ph, but I'm thinking of trying something else this time. What has worked for you?

Helping agency owners get out of client work and hand over media buying/account management to a team member is one of the most important transition points required to scale an agency sustainably. So many people get stuck here and have so many limiting beliefs and mental roadblocks that cause them to self-sabotage following through with this transition. It goes back to the first person you ever delegated to. For almost everyone, that's a VA doing something repetitive. And with that role, you do have to make it grandma-proof. Click by click, screenshot every step, leave nothing to interpretation, because the whole point is that the person doesn't need to make decisions. That's correct for that role. The problem is you learn the wrong lesson from it. Then you go to hire a media buyer and your instinct fires the same way. So you spend weeks building an elaborate SOP that teaches someone how to media buy. Sit with what you're actually doing there. You're making yourself the bottleneck for the brainpower in your own business. If your decision-making is the ceiling on theirs, what exactly are you paying them for? You want a media buyer who's better at media buying than you are. I'll be honest about my own path here. I came up learning the strategy myself. I spent a lot of time in the trenches getting good at it, and I wrote all my SOPs from scratch because I'd personally worked out how to get results in my market. I kind of wish I hadn't spent as much time on that as I did. Media buying isn't that hard of a skill to develop. There are plenty of people out there who already know how to do it. If you're early and trying to scale quickly, all that time you're pouring into over-engineering the SOP should be going into talent acquisition instead. So here's how I'd actually filter out applications to hire an A-Plan Media Buyer for your agency. 1) Objective qualifiers in the application. Not "tell me about yourself." Yes or no and numbers only: Have you run campaigns for this specific industry, in this specific location, before?

Does anyone have the support email address? I purchased the ebook but it is currently locked

I run multiple coaching programs: investment coaching, e-commerce coaching and tax consulting. Over the past 3 weeks, I’ve faced mass Meta bans. Even my 3+ year old ad account got disabled. Nearly all my Business Managers and ad accounts are banned now. My business relies fully on paid ads, so I need help urgently. I’m looking for where I can purchase stable/strong Meta ad accounts to run my offers. I already tried adrevival.io and orangetrail — they cannot support my offers since most of my services are money-making related. I will pay a $100 reward to anyone who shares a solution that actually works. Please send me recommendations if you have reliable sources. Thank you!

Every week there's a new tool, a new model, a new automation everyone swears is a game changer. And if you're anything like most agency owners right now, it's quietly paralysing you. You feel like the goalposts are moving faster than you can run. Like there's this constantly growing pile of stuff you're supposed to learn before you're allowed to move, and you're falling further behind on it every single day. Here's the truth that takes the weight off, wherever you're at. The agency owners scaling the fastest right now are not winning because they built some magical AI automation nobody else has. I work with a lot of people moving very quickly, and almost none of it comes down to a genius use case buried in their fulfilment or some clever system running in the background. They're winning on the fundamentals. A good offer. Solid ads. A tight sales process. Clients they actually retain. The exact same things that worked 5 years ago, executed well and consistently. Nobody wants the hear that because it's not exciting. But it's the truth, and the people chasing the shiny stuff instead of doubling down on the fundamentals are the ones spinning their wheels. Now let me be clear, because I'm not anti-AI at all. There are genuinely powerful things AI is doing that make this business dramatically easier. I use it constantly. But here's the distinction almost everyone is getting wrong, and it's the whole thing. AI enhances a skillset. It doesn't replace one. The people getting real leverage from it are the ones who already had the skill. The great media buyer. The strong copywriter. The sharp creative strategist. The operator who already knew how to build a workflow and, just as importantly, knew which work was actually worth doing in the first place. AI makes those people faster and more powerful because they know what good looks like, so they can steer the tool and catch it when it's wrong. The people getting stuck are the ones treating AI as a substitute for a skill they never built, or as an excuse to tinker instead of sell. They can't tell good output from garbage, so they just ship whatever it hands them, or they disappear down a rabbit hole building something impressive that produces nothing.
