Phase 01, Offer Selection

Choose your offer

List up to 3 products or services. Explain each like you're talking to a 10-year-old, then score them to find your winner.

Score each offer

Rate 1–10 (1 = hard, 10 = easy/strong). Anything scoring below 69 total, don't run it.

A = 90–100  |  B = 80–89  |  C = 70–79  |  D = <69 (skip it)

Phase 02, Audience

Know your customer

The sharper your audience picture, the cheaper your ads. Select all that apply, then add specifics.

Pro tip: Look at who has bought from you in the past. They reveal your real audience, not your imagined one.

Demographics

Interests & Behaviour

Your current social presence

Phase 03, Relationship & Mechanism

Map the relationship

Where your audience sits on the trust scale determines how you close them. Warmer = easier conversion.

Where are your customers right now?

Recommended closing mechanism
,

Stranger → In person / Webinar  |  Follower → Call  |  Website → Email  |  Warm → Messenger  |  Previous → Inbound  |  Current → Self-checkout

Your sales mechanism

Sales team (if applicable)

Name / Role Close Rate (%) Rating (1–5)
Phase 04, Message & Copy

Craft the message

The best ads don't sell. They identify a pain so precisely that the reader feels understood, then offer relief.

The Pain Process

Name the 3 biggest problems your customer faces, then your solution in one sentence each.

Speak Their Language

Research 1–star and 5–star reviews of your competitors on Yelp, Google, and Amazon. Extract the exact words they use.

Ad Copy Builder

Use these four questions to anchor every ad you write.

How will you grab attention?

Phase 05, Funnel Architecture

Build the funnel

Every paid campaign follows the same loop: Advertise → Capture → Convert. Design each layer before you spend a pound.

Ad
Landing Page
Capture
Upsell
Convert

Video Content Plan

Character archetype

Story arc

Video outline (G.E.N.E.I.U.S. format)

Landing Page

Monetisation Stack

Every untouched upsell is revenue left on the table.

Retargeting Formula

Viewers (didn't click) → retarget on the same platform. Clickers → retarget anywhere.

Phase 06, Follow-Up & Distribution

Build the follow-up

The follow-up is where most revenue is won. Map your monthly touchpoints across every channel.

Campaign Type

Choose the primary campaign structure for this strategy.

Monthly Follow-Up Calendar

T = Text  |  E = Email  |  V = Voice drop  |  Enter the type + brief note per day

→ your offer →

Where they want to be (Abundance)

  • Money / financial freedom
  • Time freedom
  • Purpose & fulfilment
  • Happiness
