Using more than one ad platform at a time allows you to tap into different audiences and cater to the strengths of each platform. However you should always consider your budget, goals, and leverage audience insights to help you decide on which platforms to use. Each platform targets unique demographics and serves specific ad experiences. While mastering one platform first is beneficial, integrating multiple channels can drive a holistic and effective marketing strategy.

Paying for digital ads varies slightly depending on the platform you’re using, but the process typically follows a few general steps:

1. Set Up a Billing Account: Before running ads, you’ll need to create a billing account on the ad platform. This usually requires you to provide personal or business information and select a payment method.
2. Choose a Payment Method: Most ad platforms accept multiple payment methods. Commonly accepted methods include credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, and even PayPal on some platforms. Some regions might also have specific payment methods available.
3. Select a Billing Option: Digital advertising platforms usually offer a couple of billing options:
   • Automatic Payments: Here, you’re charged after accruing advertising costs. It’s like a utility bill; you use the services and then you’re billed. This is sometimes called post-pay.
   • Manual Payments: You prepay a certain amount into your account. As your ads run, the costs are deducted from this prepaid amount. Once your balance runs low, you’ll need to top it up to keep your ads running.
4. Set Budgets: To manage spending, you’ll set daily or campaign-specific budgets. These budgets determine the maximum amount you’re willing to spend over a set period or for a particular campaign. Remember, you’re often bidding for ad placements, so the actual cost may vary, but these budgets ensure you don’t overspend.
5. Understand Billing Cycles: Each platform has billing cycles that determine when you’re charged. For automatic payments, it might be after a specific amount is accrued or after a set number of days. Keep an eye on your account to track these charges.
6. Review Invoices & Statements: Regularly check your account’s billing section. Here, you’ll find detailed statements and invoices that break down your ad spend, making it easier for record-keeping and understanding your ad expenses.
7. Resolve Payment Issues: If there’s a problem with a payment, most platforms will notify you. Address any issues promptly to prevent your ads from being paused.

Absolutely. Google Tag Manager (GTM) makes it easier for you to add and manage multiple tracking codes or scripts on your website. It is a centralized platform, helps speed up your website load times, and allows for easier testing and deployment without needing to constantly update site code.

At its core, GTM is a tag management system. Tags are small pieces of code that you often need to implement on your website for various purposes, such as tracking user behavior, understanding website performance, retargeting, and more. Before GTM, adding these tags to a website was a manual process, requiring changes to the site code each time. This often meant depending on developers for implementation, which could be time-consuming and inefficient.

With Google Tag Manager, you can easily add, edit, or remove tags directly from the GTM dashboard without altering the core website code. This gives marketers more autonomy, allowing them to swiftly adapt to their tracking needs without the bottleneck of technical implementation.

Beyond ease of use, there are several benefits to using GTM:

1. Centralized Management: With GTM, all your tags are in one place. This makes it easier to manage, update, and review them, ensuring that no outdated or redundant tags slow down your site.
2. Flexibility: GTM is versatile. It supports not only Google’s own tools (like Google Analytics or Google Ads) but also many third-party tags. This means most of your tracking needs can be met within one system.
3. Error-Handling & Version Control: GTM has a built-in error-checking mechanism, reducing the risk of implementing a broken or disruptive tag. Moreover, it maintains a history of all changes, allowing for easy rollbacks if needed.
4. Event Tracking: Beyond standard tags, GTM facilitates complex event tracking, like monitoring file downloads or video views. This deepens your understanding of user engagement on your site.
5. Enhanced Security: GTM offers built-in security features like blacklisting certain tags or limiting the domains on which tags can fire.

In conclusion, while Google Tag Manager has a learning curve, its advantages in terms of flexibility, efficiency, and precision make it an indispensable tool for online business owners.

As a minimum, we recommend $3000/mo for at least 3 months but, deciding on an advertising budget to start with depends on a variety of factors. Start by asking yourself and your team the following –

<li>How much are we willing to spend to get a new customer (or lead)?</li>
<li>What are other owners in our industry spending?</li>
<li>Who are we targeting? Where do they participate online?</li>
<li>What is our estimated return on investment going to be if I spend $X amount of dollars on advertising?</li>
<li>Are we launching more than one campaign?</li>
</ul>
