Brennan Haelig of www.jumpstartroi.com is the CEO and Founder of Jump Start ROI - a marketing agency that helps business owners find and attract their perfect leads and turn them into paying customers.

This includes Done-For-You advertising across Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Plus, they help with your website copy, landing pages, email and text messaging.

I first became aware of Brennan and his company through long-term PhotoBizX Member, past guest and course presenter, John Glaser.

Here's what John told me in a recent message...

I have a podcast guest for you. He is running my Facebook ads and is totally cutting the costs.

For example, one of my best booking and sales genres is senior dogs. However, about a year ago, the ads stopped working, and all my leads were worth around $20. I stopped doing it, tried again, and got the same result.

This guy started one for me, and I am getting $3.50 leads.

He is working with another photographer, and they have reported some success with him.

John was, of course, referring to Brennan Haelig, who shares how photographers should be utilising Meta Ads that actually work, and don't cost a fortune.
