But like people like always 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: expect with like ads, like oh, you're gonna get make 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: so much money, you're gonna get somebody clicks. 26 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: But it's actually hard. 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: You have to create like a really really good ad. 28 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: And this story is about someone making a Facebook ad 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: for a client and them becoming a scammer.

So I'm 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: all right, what am I gonna do? I'm just gonna say, yeah, 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: all right, let's take around accident charged them much? I 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: only charged sixty dollars per week. And as John as 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: our resident Facebook ads expert, is that a lot of. 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: Little, absolutely nothing abysmal? 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah you're worth it? Opening Yeah? Come on? 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: Well, actually, Op says, on average, I charge a foreign 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: client three hundred dollars per week. Okay, I don't know 46 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: why you're charging so much less on this one, but 47 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: maybe I just wanted to give the client of Break Local, Like, 48 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: let me give you some local discount. 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: Never give a client of break that's what any one. Well. 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: The first two weeks for Good, she provided me with 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: every material I needed to make an effective advertisement despite 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: her limited budget. However, we began to have an argument 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: on week two. On the second week of Scammer clients, 54 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: they clicked on the wrong person. Yeah, they clicked on 55 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: the wrong ad. She's suddenly demanding our ads should have 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: at least one thousand clicks per day, which is ef 57 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: an absurd because her budget only allows her to have 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: twelve hundred reaches per day, which is like twelve hundred 59 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: views on the post. And she's expecting everyone who views 60 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: a post to click on it, which just does not happen. 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: Like what's the average click rate? John, oh, dude, probably 62 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: like one to three percent. Hey, there you go, one 63 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: to three percent. The facts are in from Big daddy 64 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: Bucks advertising, Big boy. 65 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: That's right. 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: Like, if she did that, almost imagine every every person 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: seeing an ad. 68 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: Clicking on it. That doesn't happen. 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: Ridiculus. 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: We all know that I told her. 71 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: For that to be possible, she should increase her budget, 72 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: which is what a great I guess like, you know, 73 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: that's great advice. What you say, yeah, exactly. Suddenly she 74 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: called me a fraudoo despite my ads having at least 75 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: three hundred clicks per day, which is actually really really good. 76 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 77 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: And now she refused to give me her payment for 78 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. She's ignoring my call this weekend. 79 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: I think my number is blocked. Stupid her because she 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: didn't remove me from her pay. So I decided to 81 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: work up some good stuff the WLO petty. Her ads 82 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: are still running, so I decided to change what was run. 83 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: I changed the pictures to a text post that says, 84 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: don't buy from this. The owner refused to give me 85 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: my salary and a rate personal assistant she called a 86 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: fraud for not meeting her absurd expectation. 87 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: Oh telemop. 88 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: I also included screenshots of her conversation to back it 89 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: up in case like anyone who saw the ad was like. 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: What is this about? Yeah, yeah, receipts. 91 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: I did it last night, and I'm sure any moment 92 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: she will contact me, but I am. 93 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: Done with her. I'm moving up. 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: There we go that one hundred twenty dollars she owns, 95 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: it's hers to keep. As for me, I'm not accepting 96 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: any local clients anymore. I am frickin done with them. 97 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: Lesson learned, lesson learned. But guess what, there's an update. 98 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: So yesterday around four pm, I checked the ads and 99 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: apparently it reverted back to the original ones NA. Then 100 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: a few moments later, my account now says account error, 101 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: which means the payment method is canceled. I felt frustrated 102 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: because I'm still not yet being done petty, and I 103 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: had some work to do. Yeah, so I posted my 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: story anonymous on a group called Social Media Marketing Philippines 105 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: as my way of venting out and subtly warning potential 106 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: VAS that she'll hire. Naturally, people in the group are 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: with me. I got my freakin' posse, my army of 108 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: VAS to go against this woman the squad. This morning, 109 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: I finally got a response from her. She is angry. 110 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: Apparently she saw my post and threatened to sue me 111 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: for defamation and basically so, she saw the Reddit posts, 112 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: but note from ope, I didn't specify which startup I 113 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: said it was from. I only mentioned it's a cosmetic company, 114 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: and therefore she had nothing to hold her case. However, 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: I have receipts that she hasn't paid me, and I 116 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: told her that even though we have no written contract, 117 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: our chat which I kept, can be used against her 118 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: in the court of law. On top of that, I 119 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: mentioned that my uncle is a regional judge, not a lie, 120 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: and I came from a clan of politicians, again, not 121 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: a lie. Simply put, I will destroy her life if 122 00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: she comes after me. 123 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: Oh, he's laying it down. Yeah. 124 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: At first, she didn't believe it, so I googled my 125 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: grandpa's name, which led to a Wikipedia page, and she 126 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: went silent after that. After an hour, I sent her 127 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: a message telling her it doesn't have to end this way. 128 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: All she needed to do was pay the way she 129 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: owed me, because otherwise I can use my family's influence 130 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: to make sure her business goes bankrupts. So she immediately 131 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: sent my salary. I thanked her and promptly blocked her. 132 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: Dude, Wow, that. 133 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: Is some revenge, baby, revenge best served quickly efficiently in foots. 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: That's that sign, and hopefully lesson learned. Go with different clients. 135 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: You know. 136 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's the thing like, if you have 137 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: clients paying you baynuts, they're probably going to be difficult 138 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: to work with, like the it's it's kind of weird, 139 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: Like the lower they pay you, the more difficult. Yeah, 140 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: so make sure you only take high paying clients. But 141 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you'll want us to have to take 142 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: pennies eat peanuts from the floor, make sure too subscribe 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: to okay Opie on YouTube, Spotify, TikTok and who want 144 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: to be a real one?
