If you’re sick of pouring hundreds of dollars into your ad campaign based on “shots in the dark”...
I see you. And here’s what you drove me to create:
join
Are you ready to get behind the wheel of your business by mastering ads manager?
A support-heavy meta ads membership for online coaches, entrepreneurs, and service providers ready to grow and scale what’s already working in their business.
Yes, I’m ready to master ads manager!
crazy, sexy, fun, business “thang” down to a close science.
You’re in the right place, my friend. 🤎
You've got the whole optimized offer, list building, lead gen funnel –
But that “science” seems to involve endless attention so that it doesn’t all go “cold”.
The thing is:
"What if I'm getting in my own way?"
And you sure as sh*t are not ready to let it all go down the drain because you’re guessing your way through running your ad campaign.
But when it comes down to it:
You wonder what's really getting in the way of your unending stream of fresh, qualified leads and buyers…
You might even be thinking:
real talk:
The way I see it, there are three big traffic jams (i.e. bottlenecks) likely getting in your way:
You don't understand the data so it feels like a mix between trial, error, and guesswork (blaaaaah!).
(or maybe you’re paralyzed to even hit that publish button in the first place!)
Whether it's the copy on your ad creative, the insanely convoluted UI of ads manager, lookalike audiences, how to get past that "verification step", or even specific questions about that ad manager error message ("omnichannel link spec is invalid, whaah??").
You've hit a crossroads where ad basics and roadblocks collide and you need HELP, pronto!
You're dreading opening up your ads manager every day because you're scared more money may have been pissed down the drain
Should you be doing a paid challenge, free challenge, upsell, a SLO funnel, or OTO? What conversion rate should you be looking for – 15%, 30%, 5%? And once your campaign is live, how long should you keep it on and when should you turn it off?
(tbh, you just want someone to look at YOUR stuff!)
You've got SO many questions that can't be answered with a one-size-fits-all Google-type response
If you're nodding along, tell me if you've ever asked
(either to yourself or others) any of these questions:
I hear you:
Ads are complicated AF.
You don't know how to navigate your ads and you fear the unknown, which leads to a classic case of… inaction (aaaaam I right?!).
*Sounds like a damn good time for a glass of wine right about now! 🤷
"Should I run ads to my lead magnet or a low-ticket offer?”
“Is my ad creative ok?"
"Meta ads can be risky. How do I know my hard work will pay off?"
“How do I know my numbers look good?”
“How do I adjust my daily budget?”
And I promise, you’re NOT ALONE.
If so, you're in the right place.
You love to market your products/services and you thrive when interacting and connecting with the people who need you.
You've built a solid foundation but you don't feel like you have the reach you once did.
You feel tapped when it comes to the manual organic stuff.
You're SO over hanging out on IG all day long.
And even when you dooo push a little harder, you wonder:
"What happens when my audience experiences offer fatigue?"
"What happens when IG shadowbans my account or limits my reach?”
It’s not your fault. You're doing *all the right things* but how can you help people who need you if you're not feeling inspired to create content because… it goes nowhere?
You know you need MORE eyeballs, so you figure it's time to try the next option...
PATH 3
PATH 1
PATH 2
You know you need a combination of organic marketing efforts AND ads to stay in the game nowadays (or else you're not competitive).
You've realized you just need more people.
So you basically DIY'd the whole meta ads thing after 5+ hours of YouTube videos and downloading 3 lead magnets that "promised" to help you set up your ads (only to find they still didn’t give you enough info).
And even after finaaaally getting your ads live (such a HUGE accomplishment), you stillllll didn't feel confident about testing things long-term because it was “kinda” working but “kinda” not.
Sooo... now what?
How about that glass of wine??
You gave up, shut off your ads, and moved on to the next option..
PATH 3
PATH 1
PATH 2
You decided hiring someone would be the easiest (and fastest) way to do the darn thing "right".
Maybe you hired someone to swoop into your ads manager account and do the "heavy lifting" of setting up your ads for you.
Or maaaybe you paid $750 for a 1-hour session with a consultant, where 45 minutes was spent explaining your problem (and showing them your ads) and 15 minutes (ahem, more like 12 minutes) was spent on *actual* recommendations.
In either case, you left with a whole lotttttta questions. And a feeling that you'd need to buy three more sessions just to get the answers you needed.
From there, all you were told was to keep them running and they would "work".
Everything was going great. Until the leads stopped flowing in. And you knew it was time to edit things yourself.
But how?
You were left sitting alone spiralling (and rightfully so!) with no one there to catch you (and your draining business bank account).
PATH 3
PATH 1
PATH 2
You want to know why the campaign is working. And why it’s not.
And you want to have the power to change it because YOU understand how meta ads manager works.
It all starts with building a solid foundation and having reliable support so that you can:
And so that you can:
🤎Grow your email list so you can get more attendees on your next webinar, meaning more eyeballs on your new offer, bringing you one step closer to your 50K launch goal *CHA-CHING*
🤎Grow your audience with dream clients and make more sales 24/7/365, without ever reeeally needing to open your laptop (which means more time with your fam bam 🤎).
🤎Wake up to those dreamy payment notifications knowing you’re making $10-20K months consistently through a combination of passive products and evergreen course sales (thinking… hell yaaaa, it *actually* worked!)
🤎Feel like a badass b*tch when you log in to your meta ads manager because you know how to read the data, and you know EXACTLY what to test next to increase your ROAS moving forward (*sigh of relief*)
🤎Make your ads profitable with a SLO funnel so you can get in front of new leads and bring them into your world via your website, without having to crank out 50 pieces of organic social content per week.
*Individual results vary and results after 4 months are not guaranteed. Results and comfort are
best achieved when students complete all training modules and fully immerse themselves in the
slack community and monthly Q&A sessions.
A support-heavy meta ads membership for online coaches, entrepreneurs, and service providers ready to grow and scale what's already working in their business.
*In as little as four months, shift your traffic into overdrive and master ads manager with your new go-to sounding board for all things meta ads.
You need enough training and support to navigate the day-to-day and week-to-week so that you can get celebrate-able sales TODAY aaaaand 12 months from now. 🥳
via the slack community so that you’re always in meta’s “good books” (yaasss, the changes are legit soo constant! 😆)
and master the ins and outs of running a profitable ad campaign with a 6-step process of video-based modules that I've officially coined the “6 Rules of The Road”
so that you can learn what to change (and when) so that you can see results day after day and month after month.
with easy-to-use resources so that you can plan your lead gen, launch and/or SLO funnels ASAP and get to bringing in that $$!
With Ad Traffic School™, you can stop scrambling and move beyond the bare ad basics in the least amount of time possible.
Most of my students/ad managers feel comfy with meta ads manager after 3-4 months of training and regular use, so as long as you put in the work, you can expect to go from meta ad overwhelm to running a profitable campaign without having to fill all the blank space in your calendar.
*Individual results vary and results after 4 months are not guaranteed. Results and comfort are best achieved when students complete all training modules and fully immerse themselves in the Slack community and monthly Q&A sessions.
“Melissa does a great job breaking down ads for a beginner! I had little to no experience creating my own ads and her course walks you through everything you need to feel confident in creating a campaign. She was also available to clear up any questions I had throughout her course. I would highly recommend Melissa and her courses!”
“The slack app support is something I’ve wanted in a program but could never find until ATS. It was always just one call a month which for where I’m at with figuring it all out, that wasn’t enough to navigate the campaigns day to day or week to week.”
Not only that but I've personally mentored over 1K students JUST LIKE YOU with digital products and workshops. I’ve trained internal team members that have gone on to land paid media jobs at other marketing agencies like Weight Watchers and DISH network.
And the thing is, I’m aaaaaalways getting questions from business owners about HOW to implement ads for their specific business. They’re looking for MORE than just a course. They want continued support that will grow WITH their business.
And that's why I created Ad Traffic School™.
To give YOU a go-to resource that not only helps you build a basic ad foundation, but gives you a sounding board so that you can stop feeling nervous to test things in your ad manager because…
You've got the support to move through any and aaalll roadblocks.
I'm the founder of Litchfield Media, digital marketing strategist, meta ads expert, and proud mama!
I've been running ads since back when it was called the power editor (yess, a long, lonnnng time ago!).
I've seen the backend of 100+ different funnels (and counting), and personally managed more than $10 million in client ad spend and had a hand in boosting profit for many 7-figure and 8-figure businesses.
The biggest difference between me and the other "gurus" is that they "talk" about running xyz ads but they haven't actually touched those accounts themselves.
I own an ad agency where I’ve worked with digital marketing rockstars like Boss Babe and Gemma Bonham-Carter. ⭐ I’ve worked in a TON of different industries including insurance, e-commerce, brick-and-mortar, and the list goes ooooon.
So let me tell you… I know what works and what doesn't (subject to the latest meta updates, of course! 😆).
“It's 100% INVALUABLE to have Melissa in your back pocket. She is a wealth of knowledge, has her finger on the pulse of the ever-changing Meta world. It's scary to be spending hard earned money on ads, and it makes me a thousand times more confident knowing that I have Melissa and the group to bounce ideas off of, and check in with if I have questions.”

(so we can make it happen, together):
Access to 150 minutes of self-paced video modules that’ll give you the foundational ad training you need to verify your domain, place your first pixel, create your first ad, optimize your conversions (and everything in between!).
Pick my brain live on literally anything you're stuck on. Get feedback on your campaigns, sales pages, and ad creative so that you can optimize as much as possible. All of the Q&A call replays are saved in the portal waiting for you!

The first three modules are aaabso-friggin’-lutely crucial to your ad campaign success so we want to make sure you don’t skip ahead before completing the foundational elements (trust me, you’ll be glad you did the steps in order!).
You’ll get access to modules 1-3 instantly and the last three modules will be dropped 7 days after purchase.
The 6 Rules of the Road modules contain the strategy, implementation, and clear action items supported by checklists and cheatsheets to bring it all together. Here’s what we’ll cover:
In this module you'll learn:
✔️How to place a new pixel ID on your website and aaaactually make sure it's tracking properly.

✔️(Aaaand if you're really feeling techy) we'll even go over how to implement server-based tracking using Conversion APIs (CAPI).
Tracking your conversions is by far one of the MOST important steps to creating a profitable ad campaign. If you can't track your conversions/ad spend, you're basically wasting $$ because you won't be able to pinpoint what's working and what's not.
+ PLUS! You’ll get the "ATS Campaign Planner and Budget Breakdown" spreadsheet to easily track your daily progress and avoid overspending on things that aren't working.
Eveeeeerything is better with a plan. Planning and setting up your campaign in advance is key to running an optimized ad campaign so you stay focused and avoid overspending (and so that you can feel 100% in control of your ad spend budget).

✔️How to set up your ad campaign – these are my two fave ways (we're getting VISUAL to really drive this point home).

Creating custom and lookalike audiences for warm and cold traffic is how you'll get your ad SEEN by your perfect-fit buyers so you can turn your ad efforts into $$ (instead of casting a wide net of people who AREN'T your peeps).
In this module, you'll learn:
✔️Get a list of the most common types of cold and warm custom and lookalike audiences to target (so you can eliminate the guesswork).
✔️Learn how to use exclusion audiences and retargeting campaigns so you can stop wasting money targeting people who are already in your world.
✔️Learn how to create custom conversions and read your data so you can optimize your funnel.
+ PLUS! You’ll get ad creative templates for your IG stories and IG and FB feeds (we're making this easy for you!).
++ PLUS! You’ll get a "Facebook Ad Copy Template" so you can use a proven copywriting framework to write your ad copy!
+++ PLUS! You’ll get inspo with the "Ad Playbook Swipe File" so you're never stuck wondering where to start (this is seriously SOO good).
This module builds on all of the previous modules as nooow we’ll get into the FUN part – putting together the actual ad creative. High-performing ad creative can take patience, testing, and time. We've put together some shortcuts to help speed up your process!
In this module, you'll learn:
✔️Learn how to craft a high-converting ad graphic (including the exact size recommendations) – even if you're not a designer (brought to you by my ad designer, Diana 🤎)
✔️Learn how to write high-converting ad copy (brought to you by my ad copywriter, Jess 🤎).
Your goal will dictate what type of campaign you're looking to set up. You might want more 👀, more leads, or more sales. 👏 Yesss, we'll cover 'em all in this module, you'll:
✔️Learn how to set up a campaign that will boost engagement, profile visits, and your follower count.
✔️Get a step-by-step demo on how to set up a lead gen ad campaign so you can get more leads pushed to your webinar or lead magnet.
✔️Learn how to set up a sales or retargeting campaign so you can drive people to buy your service, product, or course for your bottom-of-funnel campaign.
Knowing how to read your ad data is a MUST when it comes to running a profitable campaign (I'm a numbers gal myself). Checking in with your ads on the daily helps you keep a pulse on your progress.
In this module, you'll:
✔️Learn how to check and optimize your campaign and how to look at your KPIs.
✔️Learn the 4 big things that can make or break your campaign.
+ PLUS! You’ll get a "Daily Tracking Spreadsheet" (pssttt! this is the same one we use with our agency clients) to track the results of your campaign for each of your offers.
++ PLUS! You'll get a "Facebook Metrics and KPIs" PDF to reference information on KPIs in ads manager.
**When you choose our quarterly or annual membership plan…
You’ll get a few extras to help you get *that* much closer to those celebrate-able sales (because we love action-takers around here 😘):
If you're anything like me, you like to feel 100% in control and confident in your choices. You’ll get granular in this worksheet and you’ll break down your monthly budget and conversion projections (don't worry, it also comes with an instructional video explaining how it all works).
The worksheet will do aaaall the *hard math* work for you. Whether you're launching a product, hosting a webinar/workshop, or creating a SLO funnel, there's separate sections/tabs for each (I gotchu!).
Around here, we leave nothing up to chance because we are borderline OBSESSED with numbers and turning the money you invest into tangible, bankable, trackable, clink-worthy sales. 🥂
The numbers don't lie, honey, – especially when they hit 50k!
This simple but mighty Ad Calculator (+ instructional training video) will help you plan ahead and calculate the ad spend you'll need to make a profit and hit your goals for your next campaign – whether it be for lead gen, a webinar, or a SLO funnel.
This way, you’ll know where you're going and HOW you’ll get there. All you need to do is plug in your campaign variables and let the spreadsheet work its magic. ✨
It's hard to keep up with the latest "rules" when it comes to meta ads. Instead of spending your time googling your way to all the answers, I'm sharing my latest edition of my Ad Disapproval Training with YOU. You'll get the inside scoop on the relevant advertising policies and disapprovals so that you can avoid getting flagged by meta.
We all know policy can be a snoooozefest but this one is a MUST to make sure you keep that $$ flowin' in!
With Ad Traffic School™:
✔️You can switch from wasting money (and time) trying to figuring out meta ads on your own to getting the shortcut, now.
✔️Switch from ad hoc support to having a reliable resource to double-check your work.
✔️Switch from creating trend-chasing organic content on the reg to passively getting eyeballs on your offers. 👀
✔️Switch from taking shots in the dark to having peace of mind knowing you can quickly get feedback if you’re unsure of when to pull the plug, when to test, tweak, or juuuust let it be.
Let’s be honest; you’ve probably already considered the amount of money you COULD lose on a make-shift ad campaign 🙈

"Melissa has been amazing and so is her ads membership.
She is so quick to mentor me and to help me get my ads to such a high standard. To the point where clients coming to me from my own ads always ask who the professional is running them.
Her ads membership is easily the BEST thing I have invested in for my business and something I will never stop investing in.
I am someone who has spent thousands on ads courses and NOTHING stuck. So to say hers is gold is a big deal. I also have a high ticket offer which can be hard to sell with ads but not with her training!"
“To me, the biggest value ad is having people available who are willing to answer your questions and give you feedback in realtime.
Joining Traffic Ad School was a crucial piece of my success in running ads. I not only feel confident about making decisions surrounding my campaigns,
I also feel more empowered as a business owner which is invaluable!”

Instagram is becoming more and more of a “pay to play” landscape every day – which means…
Now’s the time to cash in on those organic efforts! 👀
Here’s the bottom line:
You don’t HAVE to join Ad Traffic School™ to be successful with meta ads.
You could keep going as you are (I mean you’re still killing it in your business anywho). 🤷
But if you’re aaaaalready feeling like you’ve fallen “behind” all those entrepreneurs that seem to have “cracked the code” on this whole business thing, you might want to reconsider because…
What if this is your big “turning point” moment?
Will you choose to walk away and keep everything status quo?
If you choose to do nothing…
Three months from now you’ll STILL be chasing after those pesky Clickup content notifications that “keep you on track” while your ad campaign gets left inactive because you juuust don’t have the bandwidth.
Six months from now you might try to turn your ads on again only to quickly turn them off because you’re spiralling and you’re still not confident in their setup.
And 12 months from now, you’ll do a full circle back to this very moment. And you’ll *wish* you had juuuust taken the time to learn how to run ads (and get killer support) when you had the chance.
The question is:
Will you make it?
