Here is the calculation mentioned in the podcast. See this and parallelly listen, to understand even more better.

Spent on fb ads = $10,000

Revenue generated = $50,000

ROAS = Total campaign revenue/Total campaign cost = $50,000/$10,000 = 5x

ROI = Net profit*100/net spent 

Netprofit = Total revenue - Total expenses

Now substitute this in the formula of ROI

ROI =  (Total revenue - Total expenses)*100/Net spent

As we took margin as 15%, now use that in total revenue place.

Now substitute the values in the ROI formula above.

ROI = ($50,000*15%)-$10,000*100/$10,000  = -25%

This is how you need to calculate ROAS and ROI.

I hope this helps.

{Most Important } Facebook ads is more about testing. No one can tell this ad is going to work and this is not going to work. So keep testing ads to know which is working for your business.

Keep this in mind 80% of your total revenue comes from 20% of the ads you run. So find out which ad is that one which can generate you  more ROI.

Episode#5: These small things will bring a drastic change in your life.

Getting started is one of the most important lessons everyone needs to learn in their life.

I know it’s hard to get started because of our dearest friend procrastination.

We all daydream of becoming an actor, entrepreneur, digital marketer and many more.

We all watch youtube videos, we all read books and we all listen to podcasts on how to make money online or how to stop procrastination or how to become a digital marketer or how to become an entrepreneur, or how to become productive and more like these!

Haven’t you watched all these sorts of things on youtube or read any blogs on these sort of ones.

If you are into the niche of digital marketing i bet you might have definitely watched the videos of Neil Patel or garyvee or digital pratik or digital deepak for sure.

But the point I want to discuss here is have you implemented the ones which were told by these people?

The same with all the other people too! Have you applied the ones you watched on youtube in practical?

If you had then it’s fine. I appreciate you.

If you haven’t please listen to this till the end.
