😭 Torture

Spent the last few days over in Los Angeles. The hotel we stayed at was hosting the “Mr. USA” competition (pageant? what do they call it for boys?) and all the misters were staying there.

Parading around with sashes like beauty queens. It was quite the comedic sight.

Went to a dive bar in Hollywood that had a DJ who’d made some weird PowerPoint show to go with his beats.

Weird shit always seems to be going down in LA.

After injuring my back at the gym the other week, I honestly wasn’t sure how much pain I’d be in after making the drive between Vegas and LA.

The good news was that it wasn’t as bad as I expected. So I guess I got home and decided to torture myself in a different way.

Anyways…

…

It’s Day 15 of me making a real effort to scale Growth Cupid. Got a new ad live! And finished setting up a Calendly for the agency. (If you want more details, I’m going a bit more in depth in my Skool community.)

(Quick reminder - you can see my recent emails in the archive here)

I hate it

I don’t know why Facebook has made running an ad such a time-intensive and overall torturous process.

But that’s what I’ve spent most of my productive hours doing today.

I hate it so much. And I totally get why agencies exist that offer this as their only service.

Can you imagine having to do Facebook ads all day every week? I think I’d rather go back to being an accountant.

But I do these ads myself because I want to understand the process. Even if it feels like it’s going to kill me.

I know, I know. I’m being dramatic. Or am I? Have you set up a Facebook ad lately?

Feels like each time I create one they’ve added approximately 3 million new options since the last time I was in there.

I think they do this just to find new ways to waste your ad budget.

Coming up…

More on what I’m working on and how it’s going.

Stay awesome,

Shawna
