§ 01 · The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

On the morning OpenAI quietly opened its ads beta to waitlist members, Nick Ponte skipped whatever he was working on, opened the email, and hit record. What followed was thirty-three minutes of live screen-share through an ad platform most businesses had never heard of - and a blueprint for turning that gap into a paying client before the week was out.

§ 04 · The Script

Word for word.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch metaphor analogy
00:00HOOKThe new ChatGPT Ad Manager was just released. I have it live up here. Now, I told you guys months ago that this was coming and I even showed you a method to get on the wait list in this video here for beta early access.
00:16HOOKSo, hopefully you were following along and you took advantage of that because I don't think people realize how big this shift actually is yet. For the last twenty years, businesses have been fighting for attention inside search engines and social feeds, but now people are starting to ask AI what to buy, who to hire, and what softwares to trust before they ever visit a single website.
00:37HOOKAnd now, that OpenAI just turned ChatGBT into a real advertising platform, that changes where buying decisions happen online. And in this video, I'm gonna show you my first look inside of the ChatGBT ads dashboard. In fact, we're gonna go over it together.
00:51HOOKI'm gonna show you how to gain access yourself, and then I'll show you how to turn this into your first paying client while most businesses still have no idea that this thing is even happening yet. So, you like this topic of building an online business and getting AI subscription clients to pay you monthly, then I'd like to do something special for you and offer you my on demand AI cash flow training.

01:54CTASo, I hope you guys are ready for that, and I see you in the chat commenting now. So, welcome everybody. I do see you here.
02:00CTASo, this is what I have in store for you in this timeline today. I'm gonna go over the chat g b t ads manager overview, how to get access to it, why this matters, and how to make money with this, whether you are a beginner, you're brand new, or you are an advanced seasoned vet.
02:15CTABecause obviously, you're gonna wanna bolt these advertising, this ability to run ads on ChatGPT onto everything else that you are selling. And why do I know that and how do I know that?
02:25CTAWell, me myself, I've already run millions of dollars in advertising on platforms like Google. You can see this.
02:32CTAI've spent over, I don't know, $4,300,000 in this account. I've spent a lot of money on Facebook meta ads.
02:40CTAAnd this opportunity is one that I am claiming right now is going to blow wide open because everybody wants this, everybody knows about it, they've been waiting, but no one knows how to actually get started with it. And so that's what we're gonna be talking about today.
02:55So, here's the overview. I woke up today pleasantly surprised.
03:01Got lots of stuff going on. Got this email, ads manager beta.
03:04Thank you for your interest in ChatGPT ads. That's because I got on the list on that video that I released on my channel not long ago. So, if you like early mover tactics and strategies to get access to these early AI tools, make sure to subscribe,
03:16and it'll let me know that you have access to this tool. So, I logged in, I set it up, and here it is. So, what I thought I would do, which would be cool for you all, is to explore the Ad Manager beta together
03:27for the first time. So, I'm just going to hit this button, explore the Ads Manager dashboard. Now, real quick,
03:35it looks a lot like Metas or Facebook, their ad dashboard. Um, it says ads account, certainty, fill it, finish setting up your account.
03:43So, I'm sure I need to set up my billing and all that and logo, and we'll see how that goes. Uh, but
03:50I'll do that at another time. I wanna go through some of these tabs here so you guys can see what we're looking at. So, to create your first campaign
03:58create campaign. Let's just say so my company is called Mina Marketing. Right?
04:04This is it. We're a AI marketing company. We are based out of Maui, Hawaii, and we work with small businesses and help them with their AI marketing.
04:13So, I'm just gonna, I don't know, use this as a mock up, pretend to set up an ad campaign for me. So, the new campaign will be for mind and marketing, objective,
04:22clicks, and reach. So, I don't see that there are conversions yet. Maybe that is because I don't have billing set up.
04:29I definitely would want to optimize for conversions. Right?
04:32Either sales, booked appointments, lead form fills, things like that.
04:38Right now, it's only showing me reach or clicks, but obviously both of those would be great too. Clicks to my website would be amazing. And so,
04:47your campaign objective determines how you bid in the auction. So, my objective, just gonna go with clicks for now.
04:53Locations for this campaign, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. So it looks like you have these four locations.
05:00You can also enter other locations. So let's see if I okay.
05:07You can pretty much search for darn near anything here. I see some things are grayed out, so not everything is completely open yet. But some of these major countries are, and that's what you have access to now.
05:18So similar to Google and Facebook, you have the daily budget section where you can set a daily budget.
05:26So if you wanna spend $5 per day per ad or for ads, it will only go to that amount and it won't spend any more. I mean, theoretically. We know we all know that Facebook and Google both overspend on your daily budget, so you have to keep a close eye on that.
05:41Hopefully, OpenAI keeps closer tabs on that. Conversion element. Oh, okay.
05:46So this is just not set up. The reason I haven't been able to click conversions is because I haven't set up a conversion element.
05:52So set up conversions to measure key actions, see which drive results, set up data source. Let's see what we got here. Maybe I need to turn off my ad my ad blocker.
06:02HOOKLet me hit refresh real quick. Oh, this is exciting, you guys. It just feels like early days of Facebook.
06:07HOOKAnd for those of you that I mean, I missed it. I I wasn't able to take advantage of advertising in Facebook because I was late.
06:16HOOKI just got started. And I know that the people that did get early
06:21HOOKand start advertising there, they were just printing cash flow because showing ads for pennies on the dollar while Meta was incentivizing you to come to their platform and spend money advertising
06:33HOOKwas they were they were giving you a lot of results for a little bit of return. And, I mean, I would think that this is not gonna be any different. Right?
06:40HOOKOpenAI is gonna compete with Google. They're gonna compete with Meta. So what are they gonna do?
06:45HOOKThey're gonna do just like they'd like Meta did when TikTok came around. TikTok came around and revolutionized short form content.
06:53HOOKRight? As soon as the short form content became a thing and everybody was gravitating towards that, they built Instagram Reels. And what did they do?
07:01HOOKThey started giving you insane amounts of views for publishing Reels on Instagram rather than TikTok. So, were incentivizing creators to come to Instagram to post short form content there rather than TikTok because they were giving you far more views than you would get with TikTok.
07:17HOOKNow, same thing with ads. This is how they compete.
07:20HOOKRight? They want you to come here and spend your money on OpenAI rather than Facebook.
07:25HOOKSo, they're probably gonna give you a much farther reach, a lot more bang for your buck to motivate you to come here and spend your money over these other platforms. So, this is like, you know, the the golden era right now, like, literally right now. I mean, this was only released today.
07:43So, I do need to set up a conversion source and I see my pop up now is showing up. Data source name, we'll just go to company company
07:52website, we'll just go Myna Marketing, type web.
07:57And I am trying to just kinda fly through this, guys, so I so you can kinda get a a general overview. I will be making more videos that dive in further detail.
08:05Somebody says, why don't you enlarge your screen? It's so tiny even looking at it on television. Look.
08:10Everybody's got a different device. Bear with me. Alright?
08:12I mean, if I make it too big, then I can't see shit. So, I have to make it kinda small so I can see what's going on in the screen. I'm not using a TV.
08:19I'm using a computer. I'm not using a phone. I'm using a computer.
08:23Data source, minor marketing type, web, iOS coming soon, Android coming soon. So, that's interesting. It's saying that I mean, the what I'm picking up from this is there will be specific
08:37ads that you can show on iOS devices and Android devices. Interesting. And I wonder if that is gonna have a big impact on tracking.
08:46I'm sure it will. Because the iOS updates obviously had a huge update on cross tracking platforms for Meta and other platforms.
08:55So it says a client queue will be generated automatically after creation by clicking to create sub new data sources. You're ready to conversion terms. They have conversion terms here.
09:03You guys can check these out. I'll I'll show you how to get access to this in a second here. I'm gonna hit create.
09:09It's gonna give me a little code that I can use to add to my conversions for my campaigns. So now I have a data source. I can set up an event.
09:18What kind of events do they have? Test. Standard event.
09:23Appointment scheduled. Checkout started. Leads created.
09:27Order created. Page view. Registration complete.
09:29Subscription created. Trial started. Nice.
09:31They have trials. That's cool. Items added to cart.
09:34So, okay. All the standard events that you can track, these are great because when you're showing your ads, you will want to optimize for people that are going to use those types of events.
09:44And I would be willing to bet the algorithm here with ChatGPT is gonna be great just like, I mean, Meta continues to get really, really good with their targeting. And if you can target people based off of how they their behavior is on the platform, then obviously you're gonna get a lot more traction with whatever your goals are.
10:01Choose your conversion track from data source. I believe I will have to add a new data source in here before I can do the drop down. So, Event Stream,
10:11create, data source. Here it is.
10:13Company website. So, I'm guessing they are
10:18giving me a code that I can add on to my website where now if I add this to my website, anybody that visits my website will now be tracked with that code.
10:31So when they go into ChatGPT and they ask a question about something, I will be able to show them my ads.
10:38This is called remarketing. This is called retargeting. And this is a super effective strategy because
10:44now you're able to show your ads to people that have already been to your website. They already know who you are before while they're browsing on these other platforms. Right?
10:51We've all had this happen when we go to Amazon to buy a hat. Um, you know, later on when you're on social media, you see that same hat following you around on Instagram, on Facebook, and it's because you've already said, hey, I really like this hat. Just didn't have the time to buy it.
11:05So, they follow you around and you're able to be remarketed too and you're going to be able to retarget it. In ChatGPT, I would expect nothing less, which is super exciting. So,
11:15you can set up your conversions events. I'm gonna try this again now that I have a data source. Base event.
11:22We'll just do a checkout started, data source, minor marketing website, conversion window thirty days. Man, know somebody says, just seen your Omni video.
11:31Great job doing my best to keep it. Look, I I am doing my best too. I'm over here sharing the breaking news.
11:36I was going so deep on some AI clone stuff that I've been working on and it's great and it's amazing. And then I got this freaking email today that said, hey, you have early access to ChadGPT ads beta.
11:49And I was like, you know what? I'm tired, but I just gotta get out here. I gotta I I owe it to my people to get out here and just show it to them first because that's what they that's what you subscribe to my channel for.
11:58Right? So let's see.
12:00I have my daily daily budget. I have my ad events. I have that all created.
12:04And these are just tests. Right? I'm just showing you guys the logistics.
12:06I'm walking you through what the process actually looks like so you can get an idea of how to use this yourself. So ad event, checkout. So I have my let's recap from the top.
12:16Line of marketing campaign name. Objective is more clicks. Can I I'm gonna refresh again because I wanna see if I can add conversions?
12:23That's a huge piece. People should know if you can set up your ad campaigns for conversions.
12:29Not seeing it yet. I'm not gonna get hung up on that for the sake of this video, but I would be willing to bet there's just something that I haven't done to set up the conversions piece because clearly, they're allowing me to create the conversions piece and the tracking. Maybe I just wanna verify that I have the pixel set up already.
12:45I do have the conversion event set up and create here we go. Is this why?
12:50Is this why you're doing this to me? So that is not totally intuitive yet. But again, I digress.
12:57I'm just doing this to go quick you guys can see. Ad group name. So they have it.
13:02It looks like they have it set up similar to other platforms like Google and Meta. You have campaigns, you have ad groups, and then you have ads. So my ad group name will be group one.
13:12My maximum cost per bid, $350. Your bid is likely competitive for this ad group. Interesting.
13:18I wonder where they get that metric from. Describe the conversations, topics or keywords where your products or services may be relevant.
13:25These hints guide matching, but aren't exact match targeting rules. Interesting.
13:31So, this is kind of like the early
13:35audience targeting, interest based targeting, keyword based targeting that you could plug into. So, if I wanted to, I don't know, like, just have a a great idea, like, a very basic general information of what type of targeting that I maybe want to add to something like this, I'll just plug it into Chad GPT.
13:52Right? I need I need context hints that I can use to get clients for minor marketing,
14:01I would like to plug them into ChatGPT ads.
14:08ChatGPT ads, what do they call that? They called it context hint section.
14:14Hints section. Please give them to me.
14:18This is the most caveman prompt ever. Please give them to me. I need them now.
14:24I'm again, I'm just going quick. Somebody says you have to connect your Pixel. Okay.
14:28That would make sense. I have to connect my Pixel. I'm not gonna set up a tracking Pixel live on this channel or on this video right now, but check this out.
14:34So for minor marketing, obviously, ChatGPT knows a lot about minor marketing right now. You want context hints with align with high interest business conversations,
14:42not generic marketing terms. Think business owners. Local business marketing, getting more needs, SEO help, Google rankings.
14:48Yes. These are go high level. CRM setup.
14:50These are all the topics that we would love to wow. This is crazy.
14:58Industry specific, established business growth. Okay.
15:01I'm gonna I'm gonna do the, uh, like, the the total new thing and just copy. Right?
15:07I'm just gonna add it in here. I'm gonna obviously delete the the little filtering that you can get from from ChatGPT.
15:15Stay away from these ones it says. I'm sure they're gonna make this dashboard a little better.
15:27Boom. So, those are all the things we have. Next, configure your ads.
15:30New ad name, Nick's ad. Set your business logo to start serving ads. So, you have to actually have your logo set up.
15:37I will do that in a second. Maybe I can just have that pop up real quick. Account name, minor marketing,
15:46logo. Here we go. Logo.
15:48Upload logo. Let's see. My marketing branding.
15:53My marketing logo logo. What do we want? Do we want just the bird?
15:59Do we want the whole thing? Let's go with this. Open.
16:06K. I've got my logo uploaded. For those of you that are just tuning in now, what we're going over right now is the original the initial ChatGPT ads manager overview was just released, and then I'm gonna show you how to get access.
16:18Actually, you know, you can get access, you guys. It's I think you can get access. I mean, I was on the beta wait list, but I think if you go to ads.chatgpt.com,
16:28you should be able to get access. You have to come here, you have to sign up. I used the same email that I was on the registration list for to sign up, so maybe that was why it was added.
16:37But let me know in the comments if you actually got access on this page, ads.openai. And then there's a page here that tells you, you know, a lot more about it.
16:47How, you know, you'll be able to reach people using ChatGPT ads, why it matters, showing people while they explore specific actions that they take within ChatGPT. Get started in a few steps. Gives you the exact
16:59stuff I'm walking you through right now. Launch and learn, metrics and trends, which is great. I mean, I'm really looking forward to launch my first ad campaign and seeing metrics just like this that just, like, start out flatlining and then
17:11hockey stick up. Right? That's what we wanna see.
17:14So, right now is the time. If you are watching this video, you guys will wanna be taking action and I'm gonna show you how to get your first client that will probably pay you for this as soon as I finish setting up my first ad campaign. So stick with me here.
17:26So I've got my logo set up and then now I got my headline. Test headline.
17:37Test description. And then you can upload an image,
17:43which is I don't know. Let's see.
17:46Assets, banners, pics of Miner Birds.
17:58That's probably too too big of a photo. Let's go with that one.
18:04There we go. Yeah. So
18:08hire us. We will crush your marketing.
18:16So it it does have some like auto auto truncating. So in some placements, it might optimize your text.
18:25Book a call with our team. No. Wow.
18:28So okay. So very simple, straightforward little little cute little ads. Campaign name, objective, budget, clicks, create campaign.
18:36I'm gonna have to set up my billing, obviously. Obviously, I'm not gonna turn this ad, but that is pretty
18:42straightforward. Not too complex. Honestly, my initial review of this is I like it better than the Meta platform.
18:48Meta gives you a lot more targeting and things that you can do. But honestly, I kinda feel like Meta
18:55has so much bloat in their ad platform that they make it confusing to set up an ad campaign. And this was actually very straightforward, very simple, very easy to get a campaign going.
19:07And now, really, it'll just come down to setting these setting a real one up and seeing what kind of clicks and traction and sales that I can get. But as I mentioned, the time to do this is right now.
19:19So, let me know you guys if you got into your platform, if you got access to it.
19:25Now, I wanna show you how to actually get your initial customer for this. So,
19:31let me let me kinda set the stage here because the reason that ads,
19:39paid advertising is a great thing to sell small businesses is because once you do what I just did and you set up an ad campaign, it will immediately get people looking at it. It will show it to people who are
19:51interested in those those topics. Right? Those things that I asked it to give me,
19:57those these, you know, people who are looking for rankings in Google and things like that.
20:02It will start to show my ads to those people today. Whereas, if you're doing something like search engine optimization, you could optimize the campaign.
20:09It could take three months to get up, to to show up in the top of Google. And and what I mean by that is like here.
20:16Right? So, here's a great example of this.
20:19If you are going to Google and you're typing in what are the best restaurants, the first thing that pops up is this map pack,
20:28and the next thing that pops up are these ads. These are all ads. And then the next thing that pops up below those ads is this, which is the organic top 10.
20:37It takes a long time to get a business to show up here in the first and second and third place position. But, you could turn on a Google Ad campaign right now, and you could pop up above this today, right away.
20:49So, the ability to run ads for these premium real estate when people are searching for these types of things is is a massive value add and opportunity to get customers for businesses.
21:01And so, ChatGPT is clearly or or OpenAI is clearly operating in the same way where
21:09where did I? Let's see. Ads.
21:12Where their placements will probably give you premium damn it.
21:17I have to hide it. I have to go incog so I can see this page. Where it will show you
21:23it'll show your ads in premium placements. So, it doesn't have an example here about what it will look like. I think I might have created an example
21:30of what I thought the initial ChatGPT ads would look like, but I don't have it in the slide deck.
21:39So, we do know that obviously they're gonna prioritize to get you some clicks because that's how they make their money. So,
21:46for me and my company right now, I have a pretty good split. I have, I don't know, something like $35,000 in monthly revenue for people that want search engine optimization, and almost 60,000 for people that want us to help them with their advertising.
21:59So this is a big opportunity. Paid advertising is a huge method. And by the way,
22:05did you follow along and see me set up this ad campaign? You do not need to be a super technical expert to set up ads in ChadGPT, which is great.
22:13But I can tell you that most business owners will never ever take the time to even log in to an Ads Manager dashboard. And that is really where you and I come in, you know. Like I said, I get paid
22:25thousands of dollars per month. This is an invoice that I got not long ago. You can see I sell businesses a thousand dollar a month, search engine optimization packages.
22:33Search engine marketing is another term for Google Ads. And then I also charge them for the ad spend that we pay directly to the platform. So, you know, this client right here, NGO Growth, this is an AI optimization package.
22:45This package right here, almost $13,000 in revenue from this one client. And I think that, you know, in the past we were just selling search engine optimization.
22:54We were just selling Google Ads. But now, we're adding in these additional services, AI SEO, aka GEO.
23:01Now, we're gonna be adding ChatGPT ads. So,
23:06everybody that has customers, now you have something else that you can sell them. And everybody that doesn't have customers, well, this is a huge shift in the way that we're gonna be advertising to businesses and you're gonna be capitalizing on this shift because most people right now,
23:21they know AI exists, they are curious about it, but they really have no idea how to get started. There's some resistance towards it because they don't trust it, they don't know how to use it.
23:31I can't tell you how many times every single day I have people asking me, man, how do you how do you use AI in the way that you do? How do you grow your business with AI? Can you teach me?
23:41I mean, I literally have people telling me that every single day. And it's because AI hasn't really hit mainstream
23:48for small businesses yet. Most of them don't do half the stuff that people are doing that follow my channel, that are using the tools that I share with you guys. They're just struggling to keep up with running their business.
24:00And, it really comes down to somebody like you and me who just shows up on their doorstep and says, hey, is ChatGPT recommending your business for roofing companies in Maui? Oh, no.
24:11They're not. Well, I can help you do that, and I can help you do that today by running a ChatGPT ad campaign. Yeah.
24:17You didn't know that they're just released the ability to run ads in their platform. I actually have a beta account. I can help you with that right now.
24:24So, having that type of conversation with the business owner right now is working really well because not long ago, businesses, they knew what AI was,
24:35but they didn't know how it could help them. And then slowly, they have becoming more aware that, hey, my competitors I think are using tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT or they're making content with tools like
24:50Gemini's Omni and I have no idea how they're doing that. So, they're now going from being completely unaware to maybe being more solution aware and being aware of the products that can help them. And, when you have businesses
25:03or anybody for that matter going through these five stages of awareness, your ability to somebody when they are here, the most aware, is much easier than when they are over here.
25:15You know, think about it. If somebody has no idea what a Ferrari is, you're gonna have it's gonna be more difficult to sell well, that's maybe not a good example because Ferraris are sexy and when you look at them, you're like, yeah, I kinda want that. But,
25:28if people are unaware that you have the next cure for cancer, they are not going to seek it out.
25:35They are not going to know that it exists. But, if they know that you have created it, they know where to get it, they're gonna show up on your doorstep and beg you to give it to them. Right?
25:43So, as people go through the stages of awareness, they become easier to sell. And so, I wanna show you what one of the
25:52most realistic ways to get somebody to pay you for ChatGPT ads are. And I'm gonna do that by starting out by giving you an idea of who are the most likely people that will spend money on ChatGPT ads.
26:04Blaine Smith, shout out in the comments. See you from Colorado. The most likely people to spend money and hire you to set up an ad campaign like I just showed you are people who are already spending money on Google and Facebook ads.
26:17And so, wanna give you this special prompt right here that you can use in Gemini to find out a list of businesses that are actually running
26:29Google Ads. So, always open sidebar.
26:33They always hide that thing. So, comment below if you're watching the replay and I'll send you this prompt.
26:39For my people in the chat, I will send you this prompt right now. But, essentially, this prompt or you can take a screenshot if you want. It says, act as a b to b lead generation specialist.
26:47HOOKI need to identify 25 small businesses in my area who are currently running Google Ads. Why do I wanna build a lead list of businesses that are running Google Ads? Well, if they're already spending money on Google Ads, then that tells me number one, they have money.
27:01HOOKAnd number two, that they understand investing their money into marketing will help them grow their business, which means that those people are probably pretty likely to
27:14HOOKbuy chat GPT ads from you because they have money, they know that advertising works, and they are aware that it works. So, they're at the, like, peak stage of awareness
27:26HOOKin how to grow their business and if they have money to invest, it really just comes down to you being at the right place at the right time, finding this list of businesses and coming at them with something like an email like this that says, I saw you're currently running Google Ads in this industry. It's a smart move.
27:42So, this is an email template that you guys can use too. I will put this in a prompt document. If you comment below, I'll put the lead list,
27:48the email template here. The thirty days free to this tool that I use, it's called HighLevel. I use it to run visibility reports.
27:56This can help you close deals too. I'm gonna tie all this together in a second for you. So, just comment below and I'll give you these prompts in the thirty days access to that software tool, plus my AI cash flow master class.
28:07So, let's jump back real quick. We built this list of leads that are spending money advertising. Gemini, which is Gemini which is Google's AI tool, gives you this information.
28:18They're like, these are all the businesses that are running Google Ads. Look. Here's their email.
28:21Here's their phone number, and these are the types of ad campaigns they're running. Crazy. I didn't even know that this was a thing until I started looking more into ChatGPT ads and thinking about how am I gonna close more deals.
28:31Once this became live, and here we are today, this it just became live. So,
28:37you have this list. Right? And,
28:41what you should do is reach out to these people and let them know. I'm helping a few businesses in this area by placing their brand directly in ChatGPT search results. People are starting to ask AI
28:53for the recommendation instead of just searching for Google. The link is it's ads.chatgpt.com.
29:01Ads.chatgpt.com. So, use this template and when somebody said or you or the call to action at the end is open to seeing how a search GPT campaign will work for you. When you get somebody to say yes to this
29:13I just thought of a great idea, you guys. You know what? You know what's cool that ChatGPT's
29:18new ad platform allows you to do? If you look at this thing that we just created, this little ad, look at this.
29:26I would create an ad for somebody in ChatGPT's ad manager platform. I would take a screenshot of it just like this.
29:32And then what I would do is I would build a list of these leads and I would reach out to GoTourist Hawaii with a screenshot of an ad that I created in this platform. I would say, hey, did you know that ChatGPT ads just went live? I've created an ad for you of your business.
29:50Now, look at it. It's already live in my ads manager account. Do you want me to start running ads for you in ChatGPT?
29:57People are gonna eat that up. That's gonna be sick. So, that's gonna be my angle.
30:01That's what I'm gonna be using. I hope you use it too. And
30:05in addition to that, you can offer people a free visibility report.
30:11And so, I use HighLevel for this. So, this is Go HighLevel. If you've never heard of Go HighLevel, I give you thirty days free to use this tool.
30:17This is actually the tool that I use to run my business. It does lots of different things. You can build websites, funnels, you can set up all your call tracking, you send can send emails, you can do your SEO through here, you can build websites,
30:30you can build AI agents, lots of different things. But what I do,
30:36for the purpose of this video, I'm going to show you just the AI visibility audit section in the prospects prospecting section. So, this allows me to put businesses in here and then run what I call a
30:51AI trust audit. Other people call it a marketing audit report. I call it an AI trust audit.
30:56So, this is an AI trust audit for Kevin's Electric, and you can see he got an 8% overall score, which is a terrible score. Obviously, you send this link, and this is why this tool is great for this prospecting feature, you get a link for the report, you can copy it, you can text it to him, you can email it to him. It puts your business's information here at the top.
31:15And, when he scrolls down this page, you can see he can see all the areas where his business is struggling and not doing very good. It has a poor Google Business profile. It's not optimized well.
31:25It doesn't have a website. Look at that. We could build this guy a website.
31:29CTAYou go down to the search engine optimization analysis and you can see that he has a 0%. People are looking for his products online, but they probably can't find his business.
31:38CTAThe bottom of this, it says, do you see the see this missed opportunity? We can help you.
31:44CTALet's connect now. So, you can also send out these types of reports, and when you get people to give you a response when they respond to them, something you can upsell them with
31:54CTAis setting up an ad campaign for them in ChatGPT Ads Manager. So, you know, multiple ways to win here in this presentation. Hopefully, you guys
32:03CTAcan see how using ChatGPT ads is going to be something that is gonna get a really good response right now out of the gate because chances are nine out of the 10 businesses you talk to are not running ads on ChatGPT yet.
32:17CTAYou're gonna be the first one out there to tell them about it and explain it to them. So, if you guys are getting any value out of this, please like and subscribe if you haven't already. Make sure to do that because, you know, I was talking about getting on the early access beta list to OpenAI's ChatGPT ads almost four months ago.
32:33CTAAnd, if you were a subscriber of my channel, you would be one of those people. If you are a member of my AI inner circle, you would have gotten
32:42CTAall kinds of early act I mean, I already was talking about from the moment this went live and hit my email inbox, I went to my AI in inner circle and I started sharing this information there first. And, that's what this is about. There's almost 450
32:55CTApeople in here that are taking action, crushing it, getting clients. They're gonna be on the forefront of running ads with Chad GPT and getting clients. You can join the air in our circle if you want.
33:06CTAThere's a link in the description of this video. But with that, you guys, I hope you got some value out of this, and I will see you

The real edge in ChatGPT ads is selling it before businesses know to buy it.

WHAT TO LEARN

The platform just went live, setup is simpler than Meta, and the fastest path to a paying client is targeting businesses already spending money on ads elsewhere.

  • Businesses already running Google Ads have accepted that paid advertising works - they are the easiest close for any new ad platform because the core objection is already gone.
  • ChatGPT Ads currently supports only clicks and reach objectives; conversion optimization requires pixel setup, which is itself a billable service for anyone who can configure it for a client.
  • Context hints replace keyword targeting - feeding the platform a paragraph of topically relevant phrases, generated by ChatGPT itself, is the targeting mechanic to master first.
  • Creating a mock ad for a prospect's business inside the ChatGPT Ads Manager and screenshotting it as an outreach opener works because the platform is new enough that most recipients do not recognize what they are looking at.
  • Platforms subsidize early advertisers to pull spend from incumbents - the CPCs on any new platform are cheapest in the first few months.
  • The Gemini lead-list prompt surfaces company name, website, email, and phone for 25 local businesses currently running Google Ads - list-building is near-instant and costs nothing.
  • A free visibility audit report that makes a business's online gaps visible converts prospects because it creates urgency the seller does not have to manufacture in conversation.
