The Challenge

Where PaperGains started

PaperGains' free-lessons offer pulled cheap leads, but the funnel stopped there. Purchases closed off-platform — Discord, course checkout, high-ticket calls — so Meta's pixel only ever saw part of the revenue, in a compliance-sensitive finance niche with a $68.94 CPM.

What We Did

The RevUp Method, applied

Audit → Implement → Scale. We ran PaperGains through the same 90-day framework we use with every client — grounded in data, not guesswork.

  • 1 Rebuilt the School of Gains site and every page the funnel feeds into
  • 2 Structured the account by offer: freebie, freebie-to-sale, and remarketing
  • 3 Added a sales layer plus multi-step email nurture to carry the off-pixel closes
  • 4 Built lead-routing automation that tags every lead by its source channel
