Highlights

Robin opens the group coaching call, invites wins/gratitudes and questions; mentions Pavel has a request queued.
Pavel shares campaign isn’t returning spend yet but he’s collecting emails and got his first email response (~14% engagement) for a custom song application; wants to shift focus to relationship-building.
Robin validates the shift toward engagement and notes custom song applications can provide strong ROI even while other pipeline metrics are being improved.
They begin reviewing Meta ads/Fan Magnet campaign; Robin narrows the reporting window to July 17–20 to compare recent performance changes.
Robin recommends turning off the weaker ad (“ad 2”) and duplicating the winning ad (create “ad 4” from “ad 3”) to keep testing new videos.
Discussion of Instagram profile-visit objective vs lead objective; Robin explains profile visits are harder to track to revenue and Pavel should decide based on end results.
Pavel notes organic virality (about 1M views this month; a post with ~30k likes); boosting that content with ads was expensive so he stopped.
Pavel describes empty showcases and low email reads; Robin emphasizes identifying who the truly engaged people are before expanding offers.
Pavel asks about a Journey dashboard alert (‘attention required’ / ‘waiting for manual setup’); laptop struggles loading Journey; Robin suggests it may be a safety-net/manual approval step.
Pavel outlines a release engagement plan: sharing updated track versions, presave link, private YouTube early access for higher tiers, and behind-the-scenes notes; Robin supports the strategy.
They discuss making a community navigation video and adding it into the welcome email sequence with a clear CTA (comment/like).
They implement and test a link to a locked VIP post; Robin confirms it shows ‘This post is locked’ with an ‘Upgrade to unlock’ button for non-subscribers.
Pavel updates his community display name/profile settings to show ‘Pavel Sax’ instead of ‘Pavel Voronkov’.
Wrap-up: Robin confirms progress and next steps; they end the session.
