I recently ran a little experiment as a personal trainer in the boxing niche: to find out if a tiny ad spend of just $20 could actually drive traffic to my fitness boxing course website? Well, I decided to find out. I boosted a 15-second boxing video on Facebook for two days, linking straight to my fitness boxing course website page. No funnels. No forms. Just a quick test.
Quick Look at the Results
• Video Views: 3,470 total (2,707 unique) — most views lasted around 3 seconds, enough to grab attention while they are scrolling. • Website Link Clicks: 150 people roughly $0.13 per click. This is the one I like best 150 people went to my website.
What I Learned
• Even a tiny budget can give real insights. $20 was enough to get people clicking to my fitness boxing course website.
• Boosted posts are a quick, low-risk way to test audience interest before I investing in bigger campaigns.
• Focusing on meaningful metrics (like clicks) matters more than vanity numbers like reach.
I can test paid ads without spending a ton.
• I can see if people are interested before launching bigger campaigns.
• I can focus on real metrics (like clicks) instead of just vanity numbers like reach.
• Even a small experiment like this tells me something about who’s paying attention, what works, and whether my fitness boxing course has traction online.
My small $20 boosted post reached thousands of people, got hundreds of video views, and sent 150 interested people to my fitness boxing course website page. No hype. No bragging. Just a simple experiment that taught me a lot about visibility, engagement, and real-world results.
