Left my job in Michigan, packed my belongings in a car, and drove down to Miami
Thankful for the opportunity to be here
Right now the plan is to find work as a RN and grow my Ecom store
Excited to meet new people and learn from others in this space
0-100K/mo - Day 22/23
Yesterday evening I went to Bible study and stayed until 11:30pm playing chess and had to walk 40 minutes back because the public transit was closed 😭 so no update
We get so caught up focusing on the future especially in this space of Ecom, so I think it’s good practice to enjoy living in the present, and yesterday I decided to prioritize that with the community I’ve met here
No major progress to report these past 2 days, I have attempted to upload another set of video ads but they are getting banned by meta
It keeps saying it’s “deceptive or misleading business practice” and I don’t really know what the issue is
Contemplating on finding another product at this point since I can’t really get past this
I have a few more briefs that I have already made and will attempt for this, but if this doesn’t work then I will be moving onto a different product
I say the worst part about this is that it’s mentally tough when you don’t have a clear sense of direction
Still trenching through these difficult times, but we aren’t done yet
That’s all for tonight
Goodnight everyone
0-100K/mo - Day 21
My ads keep getting banned by meta
I switch products to become more ethical, yet now my ads are being deemed unethical business practices
Funny how that works
We’ll keep trying to work around it, but I don’t want my ad account getting bricked, so I have to be cautious
Today was 1st day with new offer, and got a sale. Still having the same issue though, ATC rate is low
We’ll let it run a few more days and reassess
Working on finishing up this native tonight, and hopefully we’ll get another batch of video ads scheduled as well.
On a side node, @chriswalterrr moved into the apartment today. The one that got me in the game. Welcome to Brickell my boy 🤝
@FBA_Dylan Likely from the increase in fats. Your brain is made up of 60% fats and it is primarily powered by fats. That’s why when people do keto / carnivore diets (short term) the number one thing they report is mental clarity
0-100K/mo - day 18/19
Fell asleep early yesterday so we’re doing a double update today
Still feeling sick but I’m pushing through it. Started out my day with a 10K run and launched a native and some video ads
Right away the video ads started picking up almost all of the spend and got a sale today, so it looks like I just suck at writing natives
The only way I get better though is by doing more so I’ll just have to keep doing it and complete feedback loops
At least I have an idea of what hook works now, so I’ll try to continue on in this direction.
Tomorrow I’ll continue to write more copy and do more research based on the avatar that got me a sale
That’s all for tonight
Goodnight everyone
0-100K/mo - day 20
Today I myself out to dinner. Sometimes I think it’s a nice thing to do for yourself. I’m part of this wine club and had to use my perks before they expired for the month but in reality I shouldn’t be doing this while I’m unemployed and unprofitable lol
Luckily the bar tender hooked it up for me. $2 on the entire bill! God bless this man
Currently I’m able to get optimal CPC, but no buying intent this time, which tells me I need to either change the offer or the PDP. I plan on changing the offer tonight as it is the easiest lever to pull, and we will see if there is any changes in performance tomorrow
I took the time to build a sub avatar and did some research on how I’m going to communicate to this audience
Finished up a new video script tonight, as well as a new video ad scheduled tonight thanks to my hard working editor
Still very early to tell if I will be able to become a successful differentiator with this product, but I will keep digging at this angle and see if there is any room for breakthrough
Data will tell me soon enough
That’s all for tonight
Goodnight everyone
0-100K/mo - Day 17
Getting tired of posting $0 screenshots
Still testing natives and I’m unable to get the cpc down or have buying intent
I was thinking today maybe it was a mistake to switch products after having a profitable ad set, but I have to remind myself that this was the ethically correct choice, and the direction that I felt like I needed to go in
Feels like I’m making no progress though and if I’m being honest my input wasn’t great today. Got sick and I caught myself doom scrolling Facebook reels instead of doing research on the community groups
Tomorrow I have to keep myself accountable
I have to keep pushing forward
Hopefully I have some direction tomorrow
Thank you to all the people who have followed this journey, commented, and given me tips along this way
That’s all for tonight
Goodnight everyone
