When Is Your Business Ready For Ads?!
june 6, 2026
Lately, I’ve been getting this question a lot from women in my community:
When is my business actually ready for ads? 👀
If you're new to my world, hey! I'm Mette Chris. I support female leaders and entrepreneurs who want to grow their online businesses to a place of true freedom. Because let’s be honest: you didn't start this business to be hunched over your laptop at 2:00 AM, exhausted, knowing your kid is going to wake up in exactly one hour.
the truth about that question
I can usually feel the mix of high excitement and underlying fear buzzing beneath it. You want the financial freedom. You want to scale your impact, grow your business, and sign dream clients consistently. But every time you think about opening Meta Ads Manager, your stomach knots up. You’re terrified of throwing your hard-earned money into a digital black hole.
I get it. I hear you. Being in this game for over a decade, I’ve seen both sides of this coin.
When you start from scratch, knowing nothing about how to grow a business or how to get new clients, the struggle is heavy. I remember those days vividly. Days where signing a $200 client felt like a massive win, a total lifesaver.
But you want to know what usually happens with those ultra-low-ticket clients born out of pure survival mode? They typically have zero respect for your boundaries, your time, or your value. They text at midnight, demand the world, and drain your battery. It quickly leads to absolute exhaustion and burnout. And that is not the reason you started this beautiful business of yours, riiiight?!
You started this to build an ecosystem of freedom and that’s why you are looking at paid marketing. But you need to know if your story is actually ready for ads before you hand your credit card over to Mark Zuckerberg and Meta.
Many coaches will tell you that you aren’t ready for ads until you hit a specific five-figure revenue goal, or until you have already validated your offer by selling it organically to a bunch of people.
I call absolute BS on that.
If you are a busy business mom, you don't have six months to spend posting 3 reels a day, dancing on TikTok, and sending cold DMs just to "prove" your idea works. Your time is your most valuable currency. You do not need a fully validated, perfect offer before you start. In fact, you use ads to get the proof.
Think of it this way: instead of guessing what your audience wants, we use the power of storytelling to let them tell us what they want. By running low-cost testing at just $5 a day, you aren't risking your mortgage. You are paying a tiny fee to put your stories in front of real people and seeing what hooks them.
So, if you don't need a validated offer or a massive budget, when are you actually ready for ads? It comes down to two simple things:
ONE: You know who you want to help: You have a clear picture of the female leader or coach you want to serve, and you know what keeps her awake at night.
TWO: You have enough money to test without it destroying your life (your budget).
That's it ❤️🔥
