Wasted $180 on a Google Ads course that taught me nothing new
I spent $180 last month on a Google Ads course that promised to teach me "advanced strategies" for getting clients. Turned out it was just basic stuff I already knew from free YouTube videos (like how to set up a campaign and pick keywords). The guy kept saying "this is the secret sauce" but it was just the same old tips repackaged. I could have used that cash to actually run a small ad test instead. Has anyone else blown money on a course that was all hype and no real help?

Yeah totally get it. The "secret sauce" line is such a red flag. My buddy dropped $200 on a course that was supposed to teach him "the exact formula for winning clients" and it was literally just screenshots of the Google Ads dashboard with arrows pointing at the save button. He said the guy spent half the time talking about his lifestyle and not actually showing any real data or case studies. Ended up learning more from a free blog post later that week.

Sounds like your buddy paid $200 for a screensaver @kai_ramirez38.
