Paid Ads Are Easier Than Ever.
I know what you’re thinking…
Conversions are down, ad costs are up, and your best audiences are gone.
“Paid ads are easier than ever”?
You’re full of (💩) it!
It’s a bold statement so I’ll explain, but first, let me show you something…
You see this right here…
Spend: $2,384.29
Revenue: $31,780.64
ROAS: 13.32
This is a campaign that one of the coaches in this certification has been running for the past 6 months.
It has brought in 289 customers for a total cost of $2,384 and has generated over $31K in revenue.
That’s a 13x return on ad spend!
Here’s another one…
Spend: $11,625.12
Revenue: $431,108.54
ROAS: 37.04
This one has been scaled and has way more room to grow.
This campaign is at about $11,625 in spend and has brought in over $430,000 in revenue.
That’s a 3,708% ROI y’all!
The reason I’m sharing these with you is not to make you jealous but to show you that, ever since iOS 14 hit…
Paid ads have gotten more competitive, more complicated, and, at the same time… so much better.
There’s been a lot of confusion, fear, and frustration around paid media the last year.
Ad costs have skyrocketed, conversions have dropped, and the ability to target has seemed to disappear.
Lots of marketers have expressed concern about not being able to find profitable audiences, retarget their prospects, or scale their campaigns.
Well, we can promise you from our own experience of running thousands of dollars a day in ad spend, as well as the millions of dollars collectively spent by the instructors of this course…that is simply not true.
In fact, right now, as you’re reading this, it’s our opinion that …
Whether you've failed in the past, gone from scaling to struggling, or are totally new to paid ads...
you can Turn Your Funnels Into 'Profit Printing' Machines...
...If you have the paid traffic, post-privacy playbook.
Let me show you…
Check out this ad above.
There’s not much to it.
There’s no state-of-the-art augmented reality imagery, professionally polished video, or clever copy. ( I know, I wrote it. 🙈)
But what it does have is…ROAS*. (AKA Return On Ad Spend.)
(*The acronym is solely reserved for us cool kids that have a need to sound smart in Zoom meetings.✋)
Here's why…Machine Learning.
See, when you apply the unique strategies that the coaches above have painstakingly perfected in their respective traffic labs over the last 2 years,
And combine those with the unprecedented power of the major platform’s AI…
Running paid ads has become easier, cheaper, and more profitable.
That’s the secret…
Instead of you doing the work. It’s really better and more profitable if you actually let the paid ad platforms themselves (Facebook, Google, & YouTube) do the heavy lifting.
What’s missing for most marketers is….
You have to provide the platforms with the right strategies to execute, the creatives that convert, the best playbooks for each platform, and the correct tracking to know what’s working.
That is why we created the industry’s most comprehensive post-privacy paid advertising training.
A certification that combines all those elements in a simple, straightforward, and easy to follow framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on who you are…
If you’re a business owner, this certification is a great way to learn customer acquisition yourself. It’s also a great way to train and certify members of your own team to ensure that they’re up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
If you’re an agency, this certification is a tangible way to show that you are a Paid Traffic Specialist, which could help you attract and retain better, higher-paying clients.
If you’re a student, this certificate can set you apart from other graduates who merely have a business or marketing degree, but specialized skills that employers today are desperately seeking.
If you’re an employee or marketing professional, this certificate can make you more valuable to your company, which is the surest way to get that raise or promotion you likely already deserve (but don’t have a tangible reason to request).
The certification itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s far more valuable than any badge or certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you’re going to receive when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will understand every single aspect of digital marketing. I’ll say that again: YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF DIGITAL MARKETING.
Yes, you may retake the test up to 2 times (for a total of 3 attempts). After 3 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free) before attempting the final exam again.
You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens and that just because you enroll today, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that’s ok! Take as long as you like. We aren’t going anywhere, and neither is this certification.
This class is 16 hours of video training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically complete the class and take all the tests in one day (although this is not recommended). To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 3 – 7 days if you are working full-time, and 14 – 21 days if you are taking the class part-time.
No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why our courses are challenging. If we’re going to allow you to display a DigitalMarketer badge, you better believe you’re going to have to earn it.
The certification is actually included for free, with the class itself making up 100% of the cost. Consider the personalized certification and badge an added bonus and proof of your distinguished achievement as a Digital Marketing Specialist.
You’ll find that the test is “satisfyingly difficult.” By that I mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging. The questions do pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to pass the test just because you have taken other marketing trainings or courses in the past. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.
