@codyschneider what are you doing to generate the b-roll? Avatar only gives 10 mins on the base plan

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

@noecomskill @Jtrades5401 Interesting perspective. I thinks supps need a validation/recommendation from friends, family or needs to go viral through real UGC for people to start trusting a brand!

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

@sebastyyaann Definitely!! Most are faking it till they make it as the saying goes.

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

All these guru's seem fake!! It's incredibly hard to be successful in ecom. Only thing easy is to con others!

@Jtrades5401 @noecomskill I've been trying in vain with meta ads with CBO for supps. If optimized for Purchase I hardly get 1-2 ATC. No purchase and blowing through the $100 daily budget.. how are you setting up your campaign?

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

@rork I'd love to try it

@KhushPatil70 DM

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

@LessEgoMoreData Yes. Thanks. Going through it now.

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Happy to report that a donated another few 100s to the Zuck Fund without any results. 7 ATC and 1 initiate checkout for the day. Still no sale. Tomorrow I’m making a 180 turn and going all in on Meta AI to find me the buyers. Going to switch on every AI option on in the campaign.

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Well the retargeting campaign was a failure because the audience size was less than 100 and at $30 CPC I killed the campaign. Hoping for better results with static ads campaign. No early signs of winners or high conversion. The conversion event is set to initiate checkout. 🤞🤞

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

I’m just going to go all in on statics today. Still in two minds if I should set conversion event to ATC or purchase. When is the meta pixel going to freaking learn?? It’s so deflating to keep going every day without sale. I need a small win to gain some confidence!! Universe, please do your magic!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Felt like a gut punch in the middle of the night to see the daily budget gone and no sale

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Welp.. just saw meta blow through $200 on a single ad with 0 purchases and a single ATC. Just turned it off and going back to sleep. I need to get on top of this. I am so fucking desperate for a sale and I’ve spent about $900 in total on meta as of now. It’s sucking the life out of me

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Set up a retargeting campaign with statics… and scaling the winners from the previous campaign with conversion event being purchase this time around. I have a feeling today is the day I get my first sale! Fingers crossed.🤞

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Paused the ad campaign with total 55 ATC and 11 checkouts. Noticed that one of the friction points was not having PayPal as an option. So got that today. Worked on strategy to post 3 videos everyday in different styles and created a few concepts around it. Will launch the retargetting campaign tomorrow and have the winners run now for Purchase conversion instead of ATC. Hopefully I should be cracking the first sale tomorrow!!

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

Still in two minds if I should keep the campaign running to gather more data.. I clearly have 4 winners..so thinking if I should duplicate the campaign with the winners and run for a purchase conversion right away…

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

End of day 3 for running the ad campaign.. 48 Add to carts… 8 checkouts initiated. No sale. Worked on improving the cart and checkout page experience. Added faq section. Hope to see at least one sale tomorrow.

[Joe @_dumbengineer]

1st time running an ecom store. I’ve had 35 ATC.. not a single sale. What could be wrong? This is frustrating
