Meta spent $2 billion on Manus AI and shipped it inside Ads Manager in 7 weeks... fastest product integration in Meta history
right now you type "why did my ROAS drop 18% last month" and Manus investigates across your data, pulls competitor activity from the Ad Library, and returns structured findings
the analysis layer alone does what agencies bill $10K/month for... and 4 million advertisers have access under the Tools menu without knowing it's there
it has never been easier to run ads

@BusDownBonnor How do you do the research before choosing the niche?
Do you have fav niches?

We’ve generated $100M+ in eCom revenue by studying consumer behaviour.
This is still the biggest mistake I see brands make:
Selling against their customer's psychology.
These ecommerce brands THINK conversions drop because of their funnel.
When in reality, it’s all about:
1. Emotion
2. State of mind
3. Psychology of where they are, and how you can get them to that next state in order to buy
That's why I created this buyer desire playbook.
It’s a month-by-month guide to the emotional drivers behind why people actually buy.
Because your customers are buying feelings, identities, and solutions to psychological tensions.
And those shift DRAMATICALLY month to month.
Inside this, I included:
• 12 monthly consumer desire breakdowns
• Surface desires mapped to deep psychological drivers
• Copy hooks and messaging angles for every season
• Funnel and offer strategies matched to buyer readiness
• Behavioral patterns most brands completely miss
This was supposed to be an internal resource for my team... but it was too valuable to keep private.
So I'm sharing it for free.

@brianshinsh Congrats.
Which marketing channel worked the best?
English
wow, we did it guys.
our small app reached $10k/mo.
today is exactly day 60 since launch, and honestly i didn't think this would be possible
as i promised, i'll share a separate post that breaks down everything we learned in detail
but while that happens AMA

we reached $7.5k/mo tiktok kinda imploded rn so I really need to fix my funnels so here’s the quick updates and lessons learned: - redesigning core ux flow improved payment conversion by 40.6% (so yes, good design works. stop slop) - current arpu is still quite low (sub dollar). lots of strategic work needed here but tl;dr build a product that users really love using - still need to find a more predictable marketing channel (literally can’t sleep at night without this). I see a lot of app founders succeeding with tiktok but it’s so fragile honestly. Unless you reach a big enough volume, it’ll be unpredictable. - who’s the best person on X to talk about mobile app ads? I really need some solid advice, willing to pay - customer support has increased significantly so I’m spending much more time taking to users - users are loving the product and the experience we give + our fast customer support ads to this experience At the end of the day if you ask me “what’s the secret?” honestly it’s just consistent testing+repetition. For the past few weeks many founders reached out to me for advice and there seemed to be a common underlying problem. These guys were more focused on copying other apps (ie cal ai, quittr, etc) than building what their users needed/wanted. “but cal ai did this, quittr did that” was the kind of responses I heard most. I’ve probably said this too many times but please talk to you customers Their users ≠ your users and plus if you play catch up, you’ll never win pave your own way

$250k+ brands don’t guess how to design static ads
They follow a repeatable layout system
clear hierarchy
strong contrast
one message per frame
So the ad explains itself in under a second
Most static ads fail because they look generic
This guide breaks down how top brands structure visuals
to feel premium modern and trustworthy
No design theory
Just frameworks you can reuse for every creative
I turned the full system into a short guide

This app is making 35k installs monthly and an MRR of $450k!
But How?
simple and uncluttered onboarding → higher retention rate
free year option → removes payment friction early
show value before the paywall → higher conversion rate

$28.6k in a single day without traffic spikes
336 orders
46%+ returning customers
no promos
no fake urgency
no constant “push harder”
this is what strong re-order dynamics actually look like
revenue stays smooth
cashflow becomes predictable
sales stop feeling fragile
most people obsess over acquisition
the real edge is selling something customers don’t want to replace
i broke down how to spot products with built-in repeat demand
and push RCR into the 40–50% range
