If you're a seasoned marketer but still sometimes struggle with converting, Jason Burlin's short book is a great resource to bring back your focus to the most important concepts in ad marketing. This book helps navigate the frustrations of running what looks like an effective ad campaign but not seeing the kind of growth one would expect. And for those new to the game, this book also serves as a great foundation.
This book is something I know I will refer back to time to time, and some of his lessons apply to good business in general. Among many invaluable lessons, Jason stresses that as a marketer keeping your focus on existing customers even while experiencing explosive growth is key to long-term success.
The greatest lesson this book teaches is that the product you're selling has to be good, and no amount of ad spending can save a bad product in the long run. It's on the shorter side too, I highly recommend picking this up.

Paid Advertising Explained by an Experienced Marketer Who's Done It All
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021
I really respect having an information source on marketing from a real, experienced marketer. So many marketing books are written by marketing majors fresh out of college offering regurgitated information with no novel ideas. Jason offers so much insight into a true advertising experience, offering information about his successes and failures. I really appreciate that.
One section that really stuck with me was "The Value of the Customer". Something I didn't realize about my business/website is that we don't pay enough attention to customers after we reach our goal with them. This book explained in detail how to calculate how important having returning customers is for your business in particular. This is just one chapter, but it stuck out to me.
There is so much good information packed into these 46 pages. Give it a chance if you need help with paid advertising, it's well worth the read.

As a self-employed freelancer with no business partners, it is super easy to second guess myself on my choices with marketing and promotions. I don't have any training in business or marketing, and sort of fell into starting my own company. Because of that, getting confident, professional advice that I can trust is always extremely valuable. Much of the advice in this book is new material and much of it is introductory, so it is a nice mix of information. But the best part is that any information I had already been introduced to previously was fleshed out in this book in such detail that it really reinforced my instincts and gave me the confidence to know how to choose the right things to do in the future. The book also gave some really insightful advice about digital marketing and how to prioritize my money and branding in certain areas of marketing. All in all, the book helps small business owners be confident in making smart marketing choices.

Jason Burlin’s $150 Million in Ads stresses the importance of profit sustainability and intention while marketing in a small business. He doesn’t only lay out the facts of the trade, but valuable advice stemming from personal experience. The “Time is Money” chapter was especially helpful for me; I learned that keeping track of every dollar spent is vital when it comes to measuring profit. Burlin teaches that effective advertising runs on the promise of life improvement associated with the product, and as a young, active consumer in many facets of our economy, I can attest to this phenomenon firsthand.
The author also advises to “question the experts,” which I found to be honest and insightful. In the age of anyone putting anything up online, consumers need to be mindful of what we choose to believe. Although I am new to the marketing world, concepts like conversion rate and customer gross margin were easily understandable due to Burlin’s cut-to-the-chase writing style. He concludes by advising the reader on what he wish he could have done, if able to rewind the clock. I would highly recommend this to not just business owners, but anyone seeking to become more educated on the world of marketing and advertising.

You don’t have to think twice in buying this book, if you are still on the fence about it then this is your sign that you have to purchase it now. Jason give invaluable and important advice especially when it comes to spending money on advertising. Not all businesses can spend freely on their marketing and most small businesses have limited budgets when it comes to advertising. You have to pick and choose or spend your money wisely. Jason gives great real-life advice when it comes to that. The book might be short but it is packed with information that you will take and run away with. Majority of the discussion revolves around social media advertising which is the trendy topic as of the moment. Another gem of a book by Jason.

As a woman trying to start a business, I can take any creditable advice I can get my hands on. $150 Million In Ads: Lessons Learned by Jason Burlin provides knowledge and advice I can use to make the right decisions. Shortly after I started reading, Burlin mentions his failures as well as successes, which really resonated with me. I’ve tried to start a business for several years and can attest that if you are not on it every day, trying to make it work, it won’t. He highlights his failures, journey along the way, and explains his mistakes, but also emphasizes that failure is normal, and necessary, to learn what does and doesn’t work in your market. He is so right!
I knew that cash and profit are necessary to a business’ success. Keeping accurate records of all your spending and earrings, with the correct metrics that Burlin explains, is vital to a business’ success. Burlin clearly explains all of this in his book. He uses easy-to-understand and real-life relatable examples to show his reader how important it is to watch what you spend and where you spend it, as sustainability should be your long-term goal. From a very young age my parents would remind me when I got overwhelmed the following: Start small and work your way up. Burlin says the same thing regarding ads and your business. Too much too quickly will cause you to fail, but not enough will do so also.
On the contrary, Burlin also emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and not just hoping sales and profit will increase with the same strategy. Also stay current with valuable information and learn how to weed out the chatter. It is important to know what works and what needs to be changed. Burlin does a great job of that. This book is a must-read and necessary reference for anyone looking to start a successful business.

Another great book by Jason. He simplifies marketing in such a way that allows for beginners like myself to soak up a lot of valuable information that I would ordinarily struggle to understand from most marketing 'gurus'.

This is a great practical guide and quick read that every business owner can learn and re-learn from as they seek to effectively market their products. Jason encourages every business owner to truly reflect on their product and the way they are presenting it to the world, with the knowledge that sometimes it may be the product, itself, that is the problem.
The overall message that really shines through is that of practicing observation( something that is very possible in the internet driven world where so much information is at our fingertips). Observing your competitors so you can see areas where you are weak or discovering a way to present your product that may sell well; observing how much you are spending on advertising so you don't spend more money than you are making; observing how much time you are putting into marketing your product with the knowledge that time is money; observing your customers so you can best serve them and create a loyal returning customers which is the best source of steady income; observing patterns so you don't miss great opportunities.
While there is no fool-proof marketing plan and mistakes are inevitable, practicing observation can help you on your path to becoming and staying a successful business owner.

Maybe it’s because I also use Upwork and know that you have to start off small to make it big and be motivated to carry on despite setbacks, or maybe it’s because I truly felt a connection to Burlin’s words, but this book hit differently than other advertising books I have read.
Not only does Burlin deliver a realistic approach to online advertising, but he reminds us that this business does require work. Too often, I have seen these motivational books that are determined to tell you that anyone can do it if they try. But this one is different. It acknowledges the research you have to complete, the reflection you have to do when it comes to your product, and the competition you will inevitably face. With $150 Million in Ads: Lessons Learned, you get the full scope of what it takes to make it in the online advertising world.
Unlike many other books about advertising techniques and how to be successful, this book reminds us that we are targeting human beings. Advertising is about selling a product to people, and I appreciate that Burlin acknowledges that fact. Even though online paid advertising is done with technology, I feel we all too easily forget that we are selling to actual humans.

Jason’s book has opened my eyes. As someone who freelances for a living, I have been hard pressed to sell myself at every given opportunity, and have often been asked to pay for marketing and ad campaigns. I’ve always been skeptical, I’ve never felt well versed enough to take on an offer like that, and I feel that it’s always been something that’s holding me back.
The book starts off explaining the way advertising was done before the age of social media, and how it seemed like such a hands off experience for small business owners, making it imperative to hire an agency to handle such tasks for you. The following chapters do an excellent job of explaining, in great detail, the new process. It’s not as difficult as you may think, and Jason takes great care in providing technical terms, mathematical breakdowns, and goes so far as giving you a plan to get the basics done for yourself.
I believe that the most valuable aspect of this book is that it’s written to include how social media has changed marketing and advertising, and provides strategies on how to use it to your advantage. Many other books in the same vein provide statistics and numbers, but they don’t factor in the way the world really works.

I am neither a business owner nor in marketing, and I found the book to be both appealing and informative.

Extraordinary Return on Investment
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021
Buried under the loud noise of digital platform chaos, even the most experienced and successful marketers and entrepreneurs can lose their edge and focus. $150 Million in Ads presents clear, easily accessible, and action-oriented reminders of the dynamics underlying every successful venture.
Some of the principles presented reminded me of the legacies of the great "no-frills" marketers of the 20th century, guides like Jay Levinson, or Jay Abraham. Jason takes those essential frameworks and translates them into the world of digital marketing. From the perspective of my 20+ years as an entrepreneur and business owner, and whether your venture is thriving, crashing or somewhere in-between; the ROI for studying and applying the practices and points of view Jason shares can be enormous.
If there is one shortcoming in this book it's that there isn't (yet) a workbook with case studies and exercises. I'll look forward to its launch.

I’m glad that I bought Jason Burlin’s book. It was enlightening, and I know it will help me with my business. He has a lot of experience in marketing. He has learned a lot along the way which he shares in the book. I like his take on how important social media is in advertising. I also learned a lot about paid advertising. I know that knowledge will be helpful to me. Paid advertising has changed a lot over the years, and it isn’t as difficult as it used to be.
Cashflow and profit are important in business. Running an online business, which is what I do, is not easy. But he offered many useful tips. It’s good to have goals that make sense and that are attainable. It’s not always possible to make a profit every day, but that’s okay, as long as the business is growing.
Building a brand takes time. But it’s worth it in the end. He explains how to build a brand in a very simple, understandable way. I learned about the important of a customer’s experience, and I learned how important it is to size up the competition. It was a great book!

This is the second book I’ve read by Jason A Burlin and suffice to say I’m just as impressed as I was with the first. Burlin takes business marketing to the next level, bypassing typical and popular advice and focusing on tangible recommendations.
Unlike other “build your own success” and similar books, Burlin actually focused on helping YOU build YOUR success, rather than build their own success under the facade of “helping” you. Burlin actually wants to teach you and offers insider wisdom that’s hard to find.
As someone who’s building their own business, this book has been another wonderful resource to add to my library and I would recommend this to anyone who’s just starting their first business or well into entrepreneurship. This book will teach you what to avoid so you can take advantage of opportunities you might otherwise miss and help you recognize when opportunities present themselves.

It really itsn't easy and Burlin is honest about what it takes.

One of the best things I love about reading about business is about the process. Business is more than just about knowledge, but also about sinking your teeth and doing the grind, and paying your dues.

I like how honest the author is when it came to acknowledging the trial and error he had to go through when it came to his craft. And for me that’s true, you learn from your mistakes and you can’t give up upon the first failure, you have to try and try again but the beauty of it is that the more you persevere the better you get.

Like in his book, Win Paid Advertising, Jason is clear and straightforward with the information he presents. It’s not overly formal (or ‘corporate’, as I call it) but doesn’t exclude important terms that we need to know. He breaks down each of these and explains them on a simpler level where even someone who is clueless about paid advertising can understand.
I’d like to think of this as a spin-off or short sequel to Win Paid Advertising because it tackles paid advertising from the point of view as, say, a business owner. Jason also uses clear examples and cuts down on the ‘fluff’ that is normally in books like these. He utilizes his experiences to help readers learn from them and make better choices.
I would say this book is more geared toward business owners and perfect for small business owners in particular who may be just starting out or who need to take a different advertising path. Still, the language/tone Jason writes in makes this an excellent resource for people generally interested in marketing or indie published authors (like myself) looking to get more exposure for their books.
Overall, this is a wonderfully quick read with important information, to-the-point examples and terminology, and contains wise words from a marketing expert!

The book also covers basic marketing ideas including the significance of marketing, evaluating your competitors, reviewing the market environment on a continuous basis, and properly examining information by utilizing it to your own business. Additionally, the author adds to the understanding of these concepts by discussing their own anecdotal experience with them following factual world. This is a book I would strongly suggest to anyone interested in marketing or business.
