Por qué subir el presupuesto está arruinando tus campañas de Meta Ads (y cómo evitarlo) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00If you sell digital products with Meta
- 0:01Ads, you’ve surely had this happen.
- 0:03You find a campaign that sells and makes
- 0:05a profit, you start increasing the
- 0:07budget, and suddenly everything goes to
- 0:08hell. One day it sells well, and the
- 0:10next, the cost per purchase skyrockets.
- 0:12You lower the budget, raise it again,
- 0:14tweak the ads, and never fully
- 0:15understand what is actually happening.
- 0:18To grow, you need to understand two
- 0:20things: at what speed you can increase
- 0:22investment and what budget the market
- 0:23you're investing in can actually handle
- 0:25.
- 0:26In this video, I’m going to show you how
- 0:27to tackle both.
- 0:29First, how to control the increases, and
- 0:30then, when it makes more sense to take
- 0:32that same offer to other markets instead
- 0:34of squeezing the current one.
- 0:36Let’s start with something basic: just
- 0:37because a campaign is profitable at a
- 0:39certain investment level doesn't mean it
- 0:40will perform the same with budgets three
- 0:42times higher.
- 0:43Imagine you are investing $ 50 a day and
- 0:45you get a cost per result that actually
- 0:48yields a profit. That gives you
- 0:49information on how the offer works with
- 0:51that investment at that specific moment
- 0:53and in that market. If tomorrow you go
- 0:55up to 200, you are asking the system to
- 0:57spend much more. Additional purchases
- 0:59can end up being much more expensive,
- 1:01and if the increase is too aggressive,
- 1:02the ad set might even go back into
- 1:04learning phase.
- 1:05That doesn't mean everything the Pixel
- 1:07learned is erased; it means you changed
- 1:08the delivery conditions and you have to
- 1:10analyze how it responds to those new
- 1:12conditions.
- 1:13That is why, before thinking about how
- 1:15much more you want to spend, you have to
- 1:17know what the maximum cost per purchase
- 1:18you can actually afford is.
- 1:20The first problem is aggressive,
- 1:21uncontrolled increases. You see some
- 1:23good sales in the morning and you
- 1:24increase the budget immediately. Then a
- 1:26few hours go by without sales and you
- 1:27lower the budget. At night, suddenly
- 1:29another one comes in and you raise it
- 1:31again. You end up making big decisions
- 1:33with very little information and
- 1:34changing so many things that you don't
- 1:36know what caused the result later on.
- 1:38How would I approach it?
- 1:40First, I define the maximum I can pay
- 1:42for a purchase, taking into account what
- 1:44I actually collect, after deducting
- 1:46commissions, refunds, taxes, etc. Then I
- 1:48check if I have enough volume to justify
- 1:50an increase.
- 1:52Two good purchases are a sign, but it’s
- 1:54still too little information to know
- 1:55what will happen when we increase the
- 1:57budget. I make a change that I can
- 1:59measure, record when I did it, and then
- 2:01observe how many sales came in, at what
- 2:02cost, and how much profit it leaves me.
- 2:04I also clearly consider the delay with
- 2:07which Nudmify attributes sales. I’m not
- 2:09going to sell you a magic percentage
- 2:10that guarantees you'll never go back
- 2:12into learning phase. The important thing
- 2:14is that the magnitude and frequency of
- 2:15the changes you make make sense in
- 2:17relation to the volume and risk you’re
- 2:19willing to take. And if performance
- 2:21drops, check what actually changed
- 2:23before you keep increasing the budget.
- 2:25The second problem appears when you have
- 2:27a good offer in a small market and you
- 2:29want to push all your growth right there
- 2:30.
- 2:32Your budget can increase much more than
- 2:33the number of profitable buyers you
- 2:35acquire, so your cost per purchase will
- 2:37skyrocket.
- 2:39So, you start repeating exposure, the
- 2:41purchase costs more each time, and
- 2:42people start to get fatigued.
- 2:44This is what we often refer to as the ad
- 2:47burning out.
- 2:48But be careful, a bad day or a
- 2:50relatively high frequency for just 24
- 2:52hours doesn’t really mean your ad has
- 2:54burned out.
- 2:55You have to look at several signals
- 2:56together. If repetition is increasing,
- 2:58if ad response is dropping, if cost per
- 3:00purchase is rising, and most importantly
- 3:02, if it’s hurting your bottom line.
- 3:04We can also look at other parts of the
- 3:06funnel like the checkout or the landing
- 3:08page, because if the problem is in the
- 3:09billing or the page, another country or
- 3:11market won't solve that. Now, let's
- 3:13assume the offer works, the billing and
- 3:15page are perfect, and what’s really
- 3:17difficult is starting to increase the
- 3:19budget in that same market. That’s when
- 3:21I’m interested in asking another
- 3:23question: could that same offer work in
- 3:24another country? I'll give you a
- 3:25hypothetical example.
- 3:27You can try to invest $ 500 directly in
- 3:29one market, or you can distribute those
- 3:31$ 500 across five markets you’ve already
- 3:33tested by putting 100 into each.
- 3:36I’m not saying both options give the
- 3:38same result, and those $ 100 are just an
- 3:40example. Clearly, it’s not a
- 3:41recommendation. What really changes is
- 3:43the dependency. If everything is
- 3:45concentrated in one market and that one
- 3:47falls, your entire operation falls with
- 3:48it. But if you have the offer
- 3:50distributed across several markets and
- 3:52just one falls, that impact won't be as
- 3:54great. That still doesn't eliminate all
- 3:56risk. You still depend on Meta and on
- 3:58the offer selling, but it gives you more
- 4:00places to look for growth without
- 4:01demanding every purchase from the same
- 4:03audience. Expanding well takes work.
- 4:06The landing page, checkout, ads, and
- 4:07currency have to make sense for the
- 4:09culture of the new market where we are
- 4:10launching the offer.
- 4:12Translating a couple of crazy headlines
- 4:13and sending traffic is no longer enough
- 4:15. I would organize it into three stages
- 4:16. First, validate. You need to verify
- 4:18that the offer leaves a margin with
- 4:20actual sales. Billing more than you
- 4:22spend on advertising doesn't always mean
- 4:24profit. Second, scale with control. Only
- 4:27increase investment when data justifies
- 4:29it, measure results, and keep refreshing
- 4:31creatives. Don't wait for your only
- 4:33running ad to fail before thinking about
- 4:35the next one. And third, expansion.
- 4:37Choose another market, adapt the offer,
- 4:39and run a test that you can truly
- 4:41measure separately. If it works, you
- 4:43have another growth path, and if it
- 4:45doesn't, you've protected the original
- 4:47campaign and learned that the offer
- 4:48doesn't work in that market. You don't
- 4:50need to open 20 countries at once.
- 4:53You need to open markets that are truly
- 4:55backed by prior research and launch to
- 4:57maximize your profits.
- 4:59So, if your campaigns are unstable,
- 5:01check these two things before you keep
- 5:03tweaking.
- 5:04If you are trying to push budget faster
- 5:06than the data justifies or if you're
- 5:08trying to force all growth with the same
- 5:10audience, a profitable offer in several
- 5:12markets can give you many more options
- 5:14than one pushed to the limit.
- 5:16Obviously, provided that each market is
- 5:18validated and can sustain the operation
- 5:19. So the next time a campaign sells well
- 5:22, ask yourself how much that market can
- 5:24absorb and in what other countries or
- 5:26places this offer could actually sell.
- 5:28And if you want to work through that
- 5:30process with me from testing to
- 5:31validation and market expansion, you
