I’m setting out to understand something: why some brands grow and others sputter and stall. Most advice makes it sound controllable — pull the right levers, ding the right bells, and growth will appear. But in reality, it’s so much messier than that.

brand owners with tight budgets run ads for a week and say: "man, this isn't working." ads compound. Meta takes around a week to learn. after a week? that's where the results are.

most brands skip at least one of these things and then complain that their ads aren't working?

good ads can't make up for a bad product good ads can't make up for a bad landing page good ads can't make up for a bad market make sure your funnels are water-tight before you start blaming your ads for wasted spend

“Create ads that don’t feel like ads”. We do exactly that. While still driving action. That’s why, most of the time we keep only the initial sections of the ad “organic”. This guarantees we hook the right customers while still selling on the spot.

@Dearme2_ put yourself in a situation where speaking is survival record yourself speaking freely, post it online every day, repeat. discomfort and suffering are the best teachers.

founders can get so wound up in their own product vision that they forget how to talk to their avatar being passionate about your product is great, but never lose sight of how your customers think, feel about the problem you're solving, and, most importantly, how they talk.

secondly, give your ads a hard stop don't try to read the algo, you'll flop harder than a whale in a diving competition say: 'i'll stop running each ad at 2000 impressions' then, you keep your testing controlled your metrics will be easy to read and compare

one of the worst habits in paid acquisition isn't wasting spend it's thinking you're smarter than meta's algorithm let's say you start running a batch of 8 new creatives
