day 13
We hit 2 ROAS, so we are doubling budgets tonight
Our best day on the brand so far, yet I somehow feel the most lost I ever felt in my entire ecom journey
Really wanna crack direct response, but it seems like there is just an infinite amount of things involved in making good ads
I am trying to dumb it all down into 3-5 simple rules and a framework I will follow for every single ad I write, and then possibly learn new things as I go
Not a good feeling at all, but I found some hope knowing that as long as I give my best every single day and get at least 0.1% better, the results will compound infinitely
Current system:
- study 2 different brands on gethookd
- dissect their ads into
A) general idea behind why the ad works
B) the nitty gritty techniques and elements of it (beliefs shifted, ways they agitate pain, etc)
- make brief learnings and try to apply when writing a new concept
If you think I’m missing something / over complicating it, let me know🙏
Peace out
day 12
slow day today, took the time to setup systems for me to crack down ads in the coming weeks
went through the fundamentals once again, since now i know this will be my main focus
scripted a concept and a new framework for vid ads
read a lot of breakthrough advertising (crazy book)
started making a swipe file for concepts and inspo
more tmrw🫡
day 11
HUGE call from my partner👇
for some reason, everything we did until now was all overlapping
we both made ads,
we both made funnels,
we both made backend optimizations...
etc.
by now, we probably couldve 2x'd our current output if we simply focused on the main rev drivers seperately
so from now on, i will be focusing on frontend while he does the backend
not only will we get more done, we will also enjoy our work more (i like ads, he likes funnels), and we will get better quicker
silly us for not doing this earlier haha
on a side note, we didnt get enough data today to tell if the things have improved
the ATC's definitely went up, but we didnt get as much checkout -> conversion action going
again, not enough data so we let it run. we are lucky to have super high AOV and HUGE take rate for the subs!
cant wait to write some ads tmrw, i can now put all my focus on becoming the best direct response marketer🤤
peace out🫡
day 9
0.68% CVR😵💫
good news is that quiz funnel is officially shipped, alongside 2 new vid ads and a bunch of bof statics
duplicated all existing video ads as well, all going into the quiz
although they dont mention the quiz in the script, its still worth giving a shot
thats about it, metrics r solid - its just the cvr...
cya tmrw🫡
day 10
super stressful past couple of days...
we have some good and some bad news 👇
bad news:
14 ads leading to quiz & pdp launched midnight,
but a bof static took entire spend in half a day😵💫
good news:
i managed to pinpoint our bottleneck which is our atc rate
because of that, i rehauled
- entire pdp
- offer
- messaging and framing
hopefully tomorrow brings SOME returns... (please zuck i really need this, enough fucking me)
stay trenching🫡
