I've run 912 static ads on my offer since mid September.
I didn't design a single one of them.
Every ad comes from a template, and Claude Code handles everything.
Same layout, same colors, same font. The only thing that changes is the stock photo.
That makes testing easy. If two ads only differ by the photo, the photo is why one sold more.
Some budget still goes to brand new templates. But most of it goes to winning templates.
This isn't a side experiment. I've spent over $180,000 on ads with a version of this workflow.
I don't log in to Ads Manager. I don't open Canva. I don't pay anyone to design for me.
I just prompt, and hundreds of ads get designed and scheduled in minutes.
You just need to know what to ask.
I have 7 extra offers in my customer center.
Buyers log in, see what else I sell, and buy again.
Since I opened it in mid September, those offers made $330.
Then in October, I sent one email to past buyers with one offer.
25 orders, $2,475, in a week. 0 refunds.
Same customers. Similar offer. The problem is they don't come back to the customer center. Fewer than 4 in 10 new buyers open it a second time.
Lesson learned. Double down on email.
Everything else is just a nice feature.
@GrammarHippy I think the question is whether all that extra work is actually paying off. You could spend your day managing 100 agents working on the wrong tasks and get nowhere. Or manage one agent working on the right task and get the result you’re looking for
Perfectionism is just fear of failure dressed up as progress.
It's easier to keep tweaking the product than to ship it and find out if anyone wants it.
My first sale was $7.99, from a funnel that was far from perfect.
But it was live, so I had data.
The cart, the step tracker, the newsletter. None of it was in the first version. The data showed me what to build.
4,500+ customers later, I still ship the ugly version first and optimize later.
