This is how to get cheaper Facebook Ad Leads with AI (In 24 hours)

AI ads case study: $5 leads at scale using Facebook ads and digital products. I let AI write ad copy (Zebracat, Google V3/Gemini + Google Flow) for 24 hours. Here are the settings, tests, and results.

In this video I open the ad accounts, show the exact creatives, copy, and budgets, and compare AI vs human performance: CPL, CAC, and what actually held at spend. You’ll see why some “ugly” AI videos won, how I structured prompts, stitched 8-sec V3 clips into 30–60 sec spots, and when to switch from organic to paid. If you run Meta/YouTube ads or sell high-ticket/digital products, this breakdown gives you a repeatable way to test, scale, and avoid the pitfalls that nuked my results in 24 hours.

Why Me?

I went from broke to building a $115M company in just 6 years. My goal now is to show other business owners how to avoid the mistakes I made and get results faster. If you want my help, those links above are the best place to start.

Here’s my story in a nutshell:

23: Started my online fitness business, made $1000 total that year.
24: 2nd year of business, made $1000 total that year.
25: Considered quitting but instead hired my first coach. Made $1,000,000.
26: Had personal trainers start asking how I did it and started consulting. Did $10,000,000
27: Had people outside of fitness start asking for help and consulted them, did $15,000,000.
28: Started 3 other divisions within my company, did $25,000,000

30: Did $25,000,00031- took a sabbatical
