Most Google Ads problems don't start with the budget.
They start with small mistakes that quietly compound over time.
Which one do you see most often?

Can you still make money selling framer templates today?
After the marketplace changes, relying on one platform is no longer enough. Sales have definitely slowed down.
So I'm running a 7-day experiment.
Every day I'll test one new channel to promote my templates and see what actually moves the needle.
Think: tiktok, other marketplaces, dribbble, pinterest, etc. And I'll share everything I learn along the way. Comment what marketing channel I should test tomorrow.
For templates, YouTube walkthroughs tend to convert better than the reach channels. Someone searching 'framer SaaS template setup' is already mid-purchase, where tiktok and pinterest mostly pull views. One thing that helps across all of them: lead with who the template is for,...
two years ago I was charging less than a grand for a website.
this week I crossed $960k on Contra.
same hands and same tools but the thing that really changed is I stopped charging for my time and started charging for what the work is worth to the company.
took me way too long to get this however when you bill hourly you're basically punishing yourself for getting good, you spend years getting faster and cleaner and the reward is you make less for the same result which makes no sense.
and half the time you're designing for a company that's about to raise millions, you're a big part of why they look fundable in the first place. charging that by the hour like it's a favor never sat right with me.
so at some point you just say the number, not a random one though.
sit down, figure out what each thing is actually worth to you, write it down, then say it out loud without doing the nervous little discount thing we all do.
the pricing was never the hard part but believing I was worth it was and I'm still working on that some days, however the number's finally catching up to the work.
anyway, road to a million, one project at a time. the count's live on my Contra profile if you want to watch it happen.
Amazing!
Watched a client call a pricing test a winner after 40 conversions. It wasn't — the sample couldn't separate a real lift from noise.
Most pricing pages don't need three variants. They need enough traffic to read one honest result, plus an annual-default toggle and a clear anchor tier.
Great job Dusko
