Richard Kaufman on Being a Sniper, Not a Spray-and-Pray Marketer Partially verified
Richard Kaufman runs Dollar a Day on Facebook and describes it with a line worth keeping: on Facebook you can be a sniper instead of someone who sprays and prays. His testimonial is featured on the BlitzMetrics program page.
What went in
A modest budget and a willingness to be precise.
Richard’s frame is built for people who think they can’t afford to advertise. His answer: you can, and the budget can be small. The starting point is not a war chest — it’s a hundred bucks a month, or even a dollar or three a day, pointed carefully.
What Dollar a Day did
Richard runs it on Facebook specifically, and leans into Facebook’s targeting controls — age, gender, location, interests — to put a small daily budget in front of the exact person he’s after.
His military metaphor is the whole idea: most advertisers spray and pray, dumping budget at a vague audience and hoping. Dollar a Day lets you be a sniper — small spend, precise aim, real traction. It is a useful counterpoint to the broad-and-signal-led approach: where Dennis often lets the algorithm find the audience, Richard’s emphasis is on Facebook’s precision targeting at a tiny budget. Both are Dollar a Day; the dial just sits in different places.
What came out
In his own words: “I do a Dollar a Day just on Facebook… you can pick the age of the person, their gender, where they live, and their interests. Instead of being… somebody that just sprays and prays, you could be a sniper on Facebook. A lot of people think, ‘I don’t have a lot of money to invest.’ Well, you can invest a hundred bucks a month, and you’ll be amazed how much traction you can build, even just for a dollar or $3 a day, because they let you market to the exact person you’re looking for.”
The headline result is a client testimonial about the approach and the traction it builds, not a specific revenue figure.
Needs Dennis to confirm: Richard’s business, what he was promoting, and any concrete results (leads, traction, revenue) he’ll share with dates.
Why it worked
The “sniper” framing makes the value obvious to a budget-conscious owner: precision beats volume when money is tight.
A dollar or three a day, aimed at exactly the right person, builds more real traction than a bigger budget sprayed at everyone. That is the cheap-and-precise promise of Dollar a Day stated in plain language — and it’s why the strategy lands with small businesses who assume advertising is only for people with deep pockets.
