Four acquisition lanes for a real product

The program organizes its marketing material into four courses, each centered on a different way to reach people. The work is intended to lead visitors toward a real destination, whether that is a landing page, waitlist, app page, free tool, or checkout.

The channel choice depends on what is already available: search calls for pages that can be published and measured, while Meta ads require a defined offer and a budget for testing. Short-form content and launch videos call for creative production.

SEO: pages, search intent, and measurement

The SEO curriculum starts with Search Console and crawlability, then moves through search intent, landing pages, content, links, and AI-search topics. It connects the queries people use with the pages a site publishes and the performance signals those pages generate.

The sequence treats organic discovery as ongoing page work: reviewing search activity, considering how a page fits the results, and developing content and links around the queries it targets.

Meta ads: from economics to campaign analysis

The Meta ads sequence begins with economics and cashflow, followed by persona and funnel design, before reaching account setup. From there it addresses creative, campaign structure, budgets, KPI analysis, and the actions taken after reviewing performance.

The material frames paid acquisition around an offer and a route from an ad click to a measurable action, rather than treating account setup as the whole campaign.

Short-form content and launch-video production

The short-form content material addresses the choice of channel and the development of content with profile-click goals in mind.

The viral launch-video curriculum follows a production workflow from movie-scene selection and scripting through shooting, editing, publishing, and breakdowns. It brings the creative concept into the practical work of making and releasing a video.
