What was, is no longer. There used to be a golden rule in running PPC campaigns, regardless of how they were managed: “Throw enough money in enough directions on PPC and watch the leads roll in!” And while this used to hold true, those days are gone. You can now also generate very poor results, from quite a hefty budget on paid campaigns. At Envy,...
You invest money to create an ebook. Research, design, copywriting. More money to promote it. You then gate it and release it in return for an email address and/or a phone number. You invested money, you want leads. It's simple math. But what if we told you ungating your content might actually bring better quality leads?
