Almost all of it came from advertisers like you. That's not a coincidence; that's a business model. And once you understand that, you'll never look at your ad settings the same way again. I'm pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening inside your Meta Ads Manager: the default settings, the pre-checked box...
Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe After 23 years of writing marketing emails and hundreds of cold calls, I've discovered that the businesses getting the best response rates aren't the ones with the most sophisticated copy.

Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe Something happened recently that stopped me in my tracks. Two new clients told me they used ChatGPT to find us and one of them sent me the actual document he used to grade us against our competitors before he ever picked up the phone. He had already made his decision before we knew he existed. That moment changed how I think about marketing forever. ...
Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe I had a recent conversation with a local service business owner that stopped me in my tracks. After 35 years in business and helping 600+ companies grow, I keep seeing the same costly blind spot — and most owners don't even know it exists. If you run a high-ticket service business with a long buyer cycle, your marketing might be working against you in a ...
Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe I got off a call last week with a $650K business owner who'd tried everything - Google Ads, SEO, multiple agencies, you name it.

Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe Most founders at your level don't want to be content creators. You didn't build a multi-million dollar business to perform for algorithms. But here's the pattern I see consistently: your expertise, the frameworks, distinctions, and beliefs that made you successful, lives primarily in your head. And as long as it stays there, your business has a scaling problem. In t...
