if you’ve been struggling to scale youtube ads, try using an entry offer ran a few campaigns for this brand selling samples for the main products been working really well since launch. solid profit from ppl buying the full product on the backend. first, a bit of context. this brand sells products in a high consideration category. ppl spend a long time researching before pulling the trigger. and a lot of customers visit the website several times and don't convert until days or weeks after their first interaction. their products also sit at the higher end of the price range. put all that together… a lot of brands would have a hard time scaling this with Demand Gen. but what i've found time and time again is that any brand can get demand gen to work with the right strategy behind it. and every product has its own path to scaling on this channel for this one: we used a low friction offer as the entry point into the funnel. once we dug into the customer data, a pattern became pretty obvious. a large percentage of people who bought a sample came back and bought the full product. so instead of pushing the main product in this campaign... we led with the samples. every creative focused on making it an easy decision to give it a try. ended up working really well and became a big driver of growth. the screenshot below tracks customers whose first purchase was a sample. you can see the curve start climbing after we launched these campaigns. from an acquisition perspective, this was a pretty aggressive strategy. it's very similar to a loss leader model. the goal was to get qualified buyers into the funnel through an easy first purchase. from there, the brand could grow customer value over time. this funnel works especially well when the main product is expensive, takes some consideration, or people want to experience it before buying. for ideas, here are a few entry offers you can try: - samples - travel sizes - starter packs - no-brainer first order offer like bundles, fat discount, etc and if demand gen hasn't worked for you yet, or you haven't been able to scale it the way you want... don't write it off too early. no matter what you sell, you can package it in a way that fits this channel and get it to work.

for those looking to crack cold traffic on demand gen many of our brands are spending $10k-$20k/day rn on these funnels best performing formats i’ve seen lately: VSL/SALES PAGE this is a direct response page built to sell a product, either through a video or long-form copy. it covers the problem, the mechanism behind the product, the benefits, the proof, and the offer, all in one place. super common in health, supplements, pet example headlines: - "the [product] that finally fixed [problem] for [audience]" - "the 7-second calming touch method that solves [problem]" best to use for youtube ads where your creatives either… expose a hidden problem (“do you know that your pillow is secretly sabotaging your skin?”) or show a pain point/transformation (“my skin got so much smoother after 5 days of sleeping in this pillow.”) a few important notes on execution: > match the page angle to the creative > traffic here is cold, so layer in proof everywhere you can: testimonials, studies, experts, media, celeb clips > optimize for mobile first (a lot of demand gen traffic comes from mobile) THIRD-PARTY COMPARISON PAGES a ranked list of brands in your category that reads like an independent review. example headlines: “top 7 [product type] for [audience] in 2026” “we tested the 5 most popular [products]. here’s what won” best for image ads with a “review” angle on google discover placement a few things to get right on the page: > explain how you made the list before you get into the rankings. "we spoke to 10 experts in this category and tested each product over 30 days" > write in a neutral tone throughout > every product gets real pros listed, including the lower-ranked ones. > cons should be honest and specific, helping the reader understand who each product fits and who it doesn't. ADVERTORIALS/LISTICLES a long-form piece of content written to look and read like an editorial article or blog post. it educates the reader on a problem or topic first then at the right time, introduces a product as the solution example headlines: “why most [audience] stay stuck with [problem]” “11 reasons why the [product] is taking the dental world by storm in 2026” “carnivore diet explained. what it is and whether it actually works” works really well with native-style image ads on google discover. QUIZ an interactive page that asks a series of questions before recommending a product as the fix it collects information about their goals, problems, preferences, or situation, etc then delivers a personalized result that frames the product as the next step. example headlines: "find the best [product] for your skin in 60 seconds" "take this 2-minute quiz to discover your ideal [product]" we often run this for youtube ads (in-stream and shorts) works well for hair-loss, skincare, supplements a few things to get right on the page: > make the first questions easy to answer. don't create friction or make people think too hard (gender, age range, etc) > ask questions that genuinely help personalize the recommendation > explain why the recommended product fits their answers. > watch where people drop off and keep testing new questions so those are the formats we’re using to scale past $500k/mo in demand gen spend they're pretty much all you need to rip on this channel. a lot of brands struggle to crack demand gen because they don’t have the right lps they either send traffic to a pdp, which doesn’t work 90% of the time… or they use a page that doesn't match the creative angle at all. highly recommend you go through your current funnel, see which pages you can add to improve it, and test them.

another brand we helped crack demand gen this year. from zero to over $628k in spend now is the best time ever to run demand gen if you've got a system for testing creatives with the right lps to back them up and you know your REAL target roas after factoring in attribution & ltv these campaigns can scale really aggressively

one guy hits $50k a month and thinks he's grabbed most of the market another guy hits $500k a month and still thinks he's just getting started same market. same amount of money out there. totally different belief what you believe about the size of your market decides how hard you go after it if you think it's small, you'll stop early if you think it's huge, you'll keep pushing the money is out there either way. the only question is what you believe

the biohacker community figured out nasal strips. hormozi figured out nasal strips. tennis champ Carlos Alcaraz figured out nasal strips. cyclings top Team Visma figured out nasal strips. padel's best Juan Lebron figured out nasal strips. who's next.
BasedBiohacker@BasedBiohacker

nose strips came in. put one on right away, great first impression. opens up airways and doesn’t feel weird now i get why hormozi has them on at all times. also i remember the founder of this brand being on X - who is it? great product, pricepoint and overall execution also something i’m surprised looksmaxxers don’t talk about more considering the whole mouthbreathing problem

for anyone looking to scale search ads further adding comparison keywords are a good place to start €859k at 2.73x roas since launch for this brand quick breakdown: comparison searches happen when people already know the type of product they want they just haven’t decided which brand deserves their money yet these show up in queries like: “huel protein powder alternative” "best collagen powder" "[your brand] vs [another competitor]" the volume is solid and the intent is strong. it works especially well if you operate in a crowded category with recognizable brands here’s how we approach it start by outlining 3 buckets of comparison searches in your category bucket 1: best-of searches "best [product]," "top [product] 2026," "highest rated [product]" bucket 2: competitor direct searches "[competitor brand]," "[competitor brand] reviews," "[competitor brand] alternative" bucket 3: head-to-head searches "[competitor] vs [another competitor]," "[your brand] vs [competitor]" you have 2 main ways to launch this inside google you can run a search campaign bidding on these keywords or pmax campaigns using those terms as search themes, custom segments as audience signals & tailored ad copy for the landing pages, you can start with a product page to validate demand… but this traffic usually performs best when you use one of two page formats below: type 1: 3rd party comparison page this is a ranked list of products in your category, written to read like a blog post review. headline example: “we tested the 5 most popular [products]. here’s what works best” type 2: "Us vs. Them" page hosted on your own domain with side-by-side comparison: ingredients, price, shipping, reviews, guarantee headline: "[Competitor] vs. [Your Brand]: An Honest Comparison" this works best when you are going after a specific competitor both page types should include: - competitor brand names throughout the copy (and what makes your product better than theirs) - visual comparison tables - strong social proof (reviews, research, testimonials, etc) - CTA pointing to your product (with an offer) this is some of the highest intent traffic you can tap into on google right now we've helped brands in crowded spaces steal meaningful market share that turns into five and six figures per month so go map this strategy to your top products, build the pages, and try it out.

$200k from search in 7 days for this brand 90% of the total revenue and we’re pulling customers from top, middle, and bottom of the funnel alignment is key on search it only works when your keywords, ads, landing pages line up. there are heaps of profitable search terms that look like they'd never work for your products then you build the right lps to match and suddenly they're printing that’s why we’re constantly looking for new relevant keywords and spinning up new landing pages to go after them also don’t listen to anyone saying one channel is better than others search, shopping, pmax, demand gen they can all bring in new customers if you know what you're doing don’t neglect any of them

there’s a big difference between the broke version and the rich version of yourself the rich version of you doesn’t care what everyone’s doing. you’re too busy making money to sit around watching other people make theirs. the broke version of you is obsessed with what everyone else’s doing. you need to have an opinion on everything happening in your industry. always comparing. always gossiping. always praying for someone's downfall. put that same energy into your business for 5 years and your life will look very different

I’m in a WhatsApp gc with 23 CMOs of 8-fig biz. Last week this CMO texted that Claude recommends his product in 9 out of 10 prompts. Site traffic’s up. LLM traffic CVR is higher than ever. This guy is 25 years old and knows more about Claude / ChatGPT naming your brand on search than anyone else I know. I asked him to give a masterclass for my team. We’re 90 days in, with similar outcomes: +% of traffic with high intent to buy. 4x meetings from AI literally saying GrowthAssistant. I asked him to share everything you’d need to know about the first 3 months of starting a GEO program. He sent me this guide that breaks down his entire process: – High visibility channels + how to play on each one – Tool suites he trusts and what metrics he lives by – The easy wins to amplify any size brand in search Comment “GEO” and I’ll DM this playbook with you.

whatever number you think is possible is how far your biz can scale to people always ask what changed once we got past a$1m a month. not much tbh. we kept selling the same thing to the same market and just got better at it every year. a lot of people kept telling me what our max would be. you'll top out at $500k. you need more offers. this market isn't big enough. never bought into any of it. never thought there was a limit to how far we could scale. i've found that once you put a number in your head, your business often stops growing right around it.
