The $10 Day Local Ad System Course
TL;DR: The $10 Day Local Ad System by Ben Adkins is a practical local advertising course designed for agencies and marketers who want to generate leads for local businesses on a minimal budget. Includes proven Facebook ad templates, step-by-step campaign setup, and client acquisition strategies. Transform small daily ad budgets into consistent lead generation machines.
What if you could promise a local business owner consistent leads every month for less than the cost of their morning coffee? Most agencies struggle to deliver affordable results because they overcomplicate Facebook ads for local business campaigns. They spend too much, target too broadly, and wonder why clients cancel after three months.
Ben Adkins built The $10 Day Local Ad System after years of running profitable local lead generation campaigns for small businesses. His approach strips away the complexity that makes most local marketing efforts fail and replaces it with a repeatable system that works in virtually any market. If you’re looking for more advanced Facebook advertising strategies, consider exploring Dennis Yu’s Dollar A Day Strategy which complements this low-budget approach with scalable tactics.
The $10 Day Local Ad System: Complete Program Breakdown
Module 1: The $10 Day Philosophy
Understanding why less can be more in local advertising separates successful agencies from struggling ones. This module explains the psychology behind small budget campaigns and why local businesses actually respond better to modest, consistent spending than sporadic large investments. You will learn the mathematical foundation that makes $10 daily budgets sustainable and profitable for both you and your clients, an approach reinforced by Sander Stage’s SMMAcademy for marketers who want to package this philosophy into a full agency offering.
Module 2: Facebook Ads for Local Business Setup
The technical setup of Facebook ads for local business campaigns requires specific configurations that differ from national advertising. Ben walks you through Business Manager organization, pixel installation for local tracking, and audience creation strategies tailored for geographic targeting. Every setting is explained with the reasoning behind it, so you understand not just what to click but why.
Module 3: The Local Lead Generation Templates
This module delivers the core value of The $10 Day Local Ad System. You receive proven ad templates that have generated leads across dozens of local niches. From chiropractors to plumbers, restaurants to real estate agents, these templates adapt to virtually any local business category. Each template includes copy frameworks, image guidelines, and targeting parameters tested across real campaigns. For those working specifically with service-based businesses, Billy Gene’s Local Lead Generation System offers additional templates and strategies for high-ticket local services.
Module 4: Client Acquisition and Pricing
Knowing how to run ads means nothing if you cannot sign clients. This local advertising course teaches you how to approach local business owners, present the $10 day concept in a way that overcomes their skepticism, and structure pricing that makes your services irresistible while remaining profitable. You will learn objection handling scripts refined through hundreds of sales conversations. To further develop your agency sales skills, pair this with Sam Ovens’ Consulting Accelerator which provides a comprehensive framework for building and scaling a consulting business.
Module 5: Campaign Optimization and Scaling
Once campaigns are running, optimization determines long-term success. Learn the specific metrics that matter for local lead generation and how to adjust campaigns based on real performance data, similar to growth tactics covered in Samantha English’s Local Business Bootcamp for revenue-focused local campaigns. This module also covers when and how to scale budgets beyond $10 daily while maintaining the efficiency that makes the system work.
Module 6: Client Retention and Reporting
Agencies live and die by retention. Ben shares his exact reporting frameworks that keep clients happy month after month, and you can extend these client-nurturing principles with the outreach systems inside Issa and Hermes’ Agency Secrets SMMA Course. You will learn how to present results in language business owners understand, set proper expectations, and build the kind of relationships that generate referrals and long-term contracts.

About Ben Adkins
Ben Adkins brings a rare combination of academic background and street-level marketing experience to his teaching. As a chiropractor turned digital marketer, he understands the perspective of local business owners because he was one. His transition into marketing began when he needed to generate patients for his own practice, leading to the development of systems that eventually became the foundation of multiple successful ventures.
Through his company, he has trained thousands of marketers on local advertising strategies. His courses consistently earn praise for practical, implementation-focused content rather than theoretical fluff. Ben’s teaching philosophy centers on giving students exactly what they need to generate results, without padding content for perceived value.
This practitioner background means every strategy in The $10 Day Local Ad System comes from real campaigns serving real businesses. Ben continues to run local advertising for clients, ensuring his methods stay current with platform changes and market conditions.
Why The $10 Day Local Ad System Outperforms
Most local advertising courses either oversimplify or overcomplicate. They teach generic Facebook strategies without addressing the specific challenges of geographic targeting, small budgets, and local business owner psychology, gaps that organic-search complements such as Paul James’ Maps Mentor Unleashed help fill on the Google Business Profile side. The $10 Day Local Ad System fills this gap with precision.
The focus on constraint is actually an advantage. By designing the entire system around minimal daily budgets, Ben forces simplicity that more expensive approaches often lack. This constraint leads to better targeting, tighter messaging, and faster feedback loops that improve campaigns continuously. If you want to master Facebook advertising beyond local campaigns, check out Nicholas Kusmich’s Facebook Ads Mastery for comprehensive training on direct response advertising strategies.
The client acquisition component separates this program from pure advertising courses. Many marketers can run decent ads but struggle to sign clients. Ben addresses both sides of the equation, providing a complete local lead generation business system rather than just technical training.
Template-based learning accelerates results. Rather than starting from scratch, you deploy proven frameworks and customize for specific niches. This approach reduces the learning curve dramatically and lets you deliver results faster than competitors still figuring out their first campaign.
The $10 Day Local Ad System: FAQs
Can this local advertising course work for businesses outside the United States?
Yes. While examples primarily use US-based businesses, the principles of Facebook ads for local business apply globally. Geographic targeting, local audience psychology, and small budget optimization translate across markets with minor adjustments for platform availability and local business culture.
How quickly can I start getting clients after completing the training?
Many students begin outreach before even finishing the course. The client acquisition module provides everything needed to start conversations with local businesses immediately. Students who implement consistently often sign their first client within two to four weeks of starting the program.
Does The $10 Day Local Ad System work for all types of local businesses?
The system works best for service-based local businesses that generate leads rather than direct retail sales. Contractors, healthcare providers, professional services, and home services respond particularly well. Retail and restaurant businesses can benefit but may require modifications to the core templates.
What is the actual cost to run these Facebook ads for local business clients?
The system is designed around $10 daily budgets, which equals approximately $300 monthly in ad spend per client. Some niches and markets may require slightly higher budgets for optimal results, but the core methodology keeps costs dramatically lower than traditional agency approaches.
How is this different from free Facebook advertising tutorials available online?
Free content typically covers general Facebook advertising without the specific local focus this local advertising course provides. Ben’s templates, targeting strategies, and client acquisition systems represent years of refinement that free tutorials simply cannot match. The structured curriculum ensures you learn in the right order without gaps that cause campaign failures.
What kind of results should I promise local business clients?
Ben teaches specific expectation-setting frameworks that protect both you and your clients. Generally, you can promise consistent lead flow rather than fixed numbers, with realistic projections based on industry benchmarks. The reporting templates help demonstrate value even when lead volume varies month to month.
Do I need prior experience with Facebook advertising to succeed?
No prior experience is required. The $10 Day Local Ad System starts with fundamentals and builds progressively. Complete beginners can follow along and launch their first campaigns successfully. Those with existing Facebook experience will benefit from the local-specific strategies and templates that differ from general advertising approaches.
