Episode notes
Keep Marketing Through Slow Months
- Do keep marketing and outreach running through fall and winter instead of relying only on word‑of‑mouth.
- Jacob says paid ads and daily videos let you show up quickly and predictably, turning slow months into booked work.
Give Ads At Least Four Months
- Commit to paid ads for a minimum runway before expecting reliable ROI; aim for four months and ideally a year.
- Jacob reports ~7x return potential by month four but says best clients commit for 12 months.
15K Lost Then Big Payoff
- Jacob spent $15,000 on ads over three months and got no clients, then made $25,000 the very next month after persisting.
- He treats the $15K as a learning cost that taught what didn't work and unlocked exponential return later.
