Episode notes
Spend To Find Scalable Keywords
- Test broadly on keywords and be willing to burn cash to discover high-performing search terms.
- Alex recommends spending ~$200k–$300k to find a few keywords you can scale to $100k/month and 5x revenue.
Use Bridge Pages To Access Colder Traffic
- Expand into broader-awareness keywords with advertorial bridge pages to access much cheaper, larger click pools.
- Use advertorials to take users from problem/solution awareness to product-aware sales pages at lower CPCs.
Spin Up Contractors For Launch Surges
- Use contractor benches for burst needs instead of hiring full-time for one-off work.
- Alex described spinning up 15 contract editors for a launch and one QA instead of hiring permanent staff.
