Hello everyone I’m Anthony and I live in LA, I just graduated high school 2-3 months ago and also just turned 18. Up until yesterday I was doing educational content creation but my mother told me I have 1 year to make progress in a business or I must get a full time job (I have a part time) or go to university I never felt either of those were in the cards for me becasue of the way I wanted to go in life, I started to research and understood SMMA is a really good business model that can generate a great amount of profit if one is willing to put in the hard work I have absolutely 0 idea how to do this or anything, I just know I’m suppose to get businesses more attraction through Facebook ads and short form content creation. I’m not sure how to even exactly start. If any of you have advice or could help me you’d be quite literally saving my future

Hey guys. How do you get around the got too much work at the moment objection? I ask them “Are you doing the jobs you wanna be doing or are you just busy taking whatever you can get” Any tips?

These guys just emailed me offering 5 appointments that they would "cover": Boomgen | Fill Your Calendar Guaranteed Any experiences with these agencies? Hopefully people won't say "just do it yourself" I want to talk about this channel too. Here's their email: "Hey Sean, I was going to touch base on +1 737-747-2228, but decided email might be easier. We’re looking to partner with an agency and help them grow by getting qualified appointments with Local Businesses interested in Lead Generation through Social Media Advertising. We’ll cover your first 5 appointments, then you pay for the ones that show up and are qualified. Should I send you a quick breakdown?"

So i have spent $3200 on paid ads to get leads for my own agency ( Residential painting niche), I have only made back $3000 from it. I have done it for the past 5 months (Obviously i paused the ads sometimes) I had $30/daily for the adset. Got a shit ton of leads but they were all extremely poor quality (Solo traders who just wanted free work or didn't have money to invest). I added several qualifiying questions in the instant form but kept getting the same kind of people. So i am really stuck at a crossroad here, i don't know what else to do, Should i stop running ads and go for email campaign? Or should i stick with this and maybe change my offer to accomodate solo traders? Any help would be appreciated
