  1. 0:00If you sell digital products with Meta
  2. 0:01Ads, you’ve surely had this happen.
  3. 0:03You find a campaign that sells and makes
  4. 0:05a profit, you start increasing the
  5. 0:07budget, and suddenly everything goes to
  6. 0:08hell. One day it sells well, and the
  7. 0:10next, the cost per purchase skyrockets.
  8. 0:12You lower the budget, raise it again,
  9. 0:14tweak the ads, and never fully
  10. 0:15understand what is actually happening.
  11. 0:18To grow, you need to understand two
  12. 0:20things: at what speed you can increase
  13. 0:22investment and what budget the market
  14. 0:23you're investing in can actually handle
  15. 0:25.
  16. 0:26In this video, I’m going to show you how
  17. 0:27to tackle both.
  18. 0:29First, how to control the increases, and
  19. 0:30then, when it makes more sense to take
  20. 0:32that same offer to other markets instead
  21. 0:34of squeezing the current one.
  22. 0:36Let’s start with something basic: just
  23. 0:37because a campaign is profitable at a
  24. 0:39certain investment level doesn't mean it
  25. 0:40will perform the same with budgets three
  26. 0:42times higher.
  27. 0:43Imagine you are investing $ 50 a day and
  28. 0:45you get a cost per result that actually
  29. 0:48yields a profit. That gives you
  30. 0:49information on how the offer works with
  31. 0:51that investment at that specific moment
  32. 0:53and in that market. If tomorrow you go
  33. 0:55up to 200, you are asking the system to
  34. 0:57spend much more. Additional purchases
  35. 0:59can end up being much more expensive,
  36. 1:01and if the increase is too aggressive,
  37. 1:02the ad set might even go back into
  38. 1:04learning phase.
  39. 1:05That doesn't mean everything the Pixel
  40. 1:07learned is erased; it means you changed
  41. 1:08the delivery conditions and you have to
  42. 1:10analyze how it responds to those new
  43. 1:12conditions.
  44. 1:13That is why, before thinking about how
  45. 1:15much more you want to spend, you have to
  46. 1:17know what the maximum cost per purchase
  47. 1:18you can actually afford is.
  48. 1:20The first problem is aggressive,
  49. 1:21uncontrolled increases. You see some
  50. 1:23good sales in the morning and you
  51. 1:24increase the budget immediately. Then a
  52. 1:26few hours go by without sales and you
  53. 1:27lower the budget. At night, suddenly
  54. 1:29another one comes in and you raise it
  55. 1:31again. You end up making big decisions
  56. 1:33with very little information and
  57. 1:34changing so many things that you don't
  58. 1:36know what caused the result later on.
  59. 1:38How would I approach it?
  60. 1:40First, I define the maximum I can pay
  61. 1:42for a purchase, taking into account what
  62. 1:44I actually collect, after deducting
  63. 1:46commissions, refunds, taxes, etc. Then I
  64. 1:48check if I have enough volume to justify
  65. 1:50an increase.
  66. 1:52Two good purchases are a sign, but it’s
  67. 1:54still too little information to know
  68. 1:55what will happen when we increase the
  69. 1:57budget. I make a change that I can
  70. 1:59measure, record when I did it, and then
  71. 2:01observe how many sales came in, at what
  72. 2:02cost, and how much profit it leaves me.
  73. 2:04I also clearly consider the delay with
  74. 2:07which Nudmify attributes sales. I’m not
  75. 2:09going to sell you a magic percentage
  76. 2:10that guarantees you'll never go back
  77. 2:12into learning phase. The important thing
  78. 2:14is that the magnitude and frequency of
  79. 2:15the changes you make make sense in
  80. 2:17relation to the volume and risk you’re
  81. 2:19willing to take. And if performance
  82. 2:21drops, check what actually changed
  83. 2:23before you keep increasing the budget.
  84. 2:25The second problem appears when you have
  85. 2:27a good offer in a small market and you
  86. 2:29want to push all your growth right there
  87. 2:30.
  88. 2:32Your budget can increase much more than
  89. 2:33the number of profitable buyers you
  90. 2:35acquire, so your cost per purchase will
  91. 2:37skyrocket.
  92. 2:39So, you start repeating exposure, the
  93. 2:41purchase costs more each time, and
  94. 2:42people start to get fatigued.
  95. 2:44This is what we often refer to as the ad
  96. 2:47burning out.
  97. 2:48But be careful, a bad day or a
  98. 2:50relatively high frequency for just 24
  99. 2:52hours doesn’t really mean your ad has
  100. 2:54burned out.
  101. 2:55You have to look at several signals
  102. 2:56together. If repetition is increasing,
  103. 2:58if ad response is dropping, if cost per
  104. 3:00purchase is rising, and most importantly
  105. 3:02, if it’s hurting your bottom line.
  106. 3:04We can also look at other parts of the
  107. 3:06funnel like the checkout or the landing
  108. 3:08page, because if the problem is in the
  109. 3:09billing or the page, another country or
  110. 3:11market won't solve that. Now, let's
  111. 3:13assume the offer works, the billing and
  112. 3:15page are perfect, and what’s really
  113. 3:17difficult is starting to increase the
  114. 3:19budget in that same market. That’s when
  115. 3:21I’m interested in asking another
  116. 3:23question: could that same offer work in
  117. 3:24another country? I'll give you a
  118. 3:25hypothetical example.
  119. 3:27You can try to invest $ 500 directly in
  120. 3:29one market, or you can distribute those
  121. 3:31$ 500 across five markets you’ve already
  122. 3:33tested by putting 100 into each.
  123. 3:36I’m not saying both options give the
  124. 3:38same result, and those $ 100 are just an
  125. 3:40example. Clearly, it’s not a
  126. 3:41recommendation. What really changes is
  127. 3:43the dependency. If everything is
  128. 3:45concentrated in one market and that one
  129. 3:47falls, your entire operation falls with
  130. 3:48it. But if you have the offer
  131. 3:50distributed across several markets and
  132. 3:52just one falls, that impact won't be as
  133. 3:54great. That still doesn't eliminate all
  134. 3:56risk. You still depend on Meta and on
  135. 3:58the offer selling, but it gives you more
  136. 4:00places to look for growth without
  137. 4:01demanding every purchase from the same
  138. 4:03audience. Expanding well takes work.
  139. 4:06The landing page, checkout, ads, and
  140. 4:07currency have to make sense for the
  141. 4:09culture of the new market where we are
  142. 4:10launching the offer.
  143. 4:12Translating a couple of crazy headlines
  144. 4:13and sending traffic is no longer enough
  145. 4:15. I would organize it into three stages
  146. 4:16. First, validate. You need to verify
  147. 4:18that the offer leaves a margin with
  148. 4:20actual sales. Billing more than you
  149. 4:22spend on advertising doesn't always mean
  150. 4:24profit. Second, scale with control. Only
  151. 4:27increase investment when data justifies
  152. 4:29it, measure results, and keep refreshing
  153. 4:31creatives. Don't wait for your only
  154. 4:33running ad to fail before thinking about
  155. 4:35the next one. And third, expansion.
  156. 4:37Choose another market, adapt the offer,
  157. 4:39and run a test that you can truly
  158. 4:41measure separately. If it works, you
  159. 4:43have another growth path, and if it
  160. 4:45doesn't, you've protected the original
  161. 4:47campaign and learned that the offer
  162. 4:48doesn't work in that market. You don't
  163. 4:50need to open 20 countries at once.
  164. 4:53You need to open markets that are truly
  165. 4:55backed by prior research and launch to
  166. 4:57maximize your profits.
  167. 4:59So, if your campaigns are unstable,
  168. 5:01check these two things before you keep
  169. 5:03tweaking.
  170. 5:04If you are trying to push budget faster
  171. 5:06than the data justifies or if you're
  172. 5:08trying to force all growth with the same
  173. 5:10audience, a profitable offer in several
  174. 5:12markets can give you many more options
  175. 5:14than one pushed to the limit.
  176. 5:16Obviously, provided that each market is
  177. 5:18validated and can sustain the operation
  178. 5:19. So the next time a campaign sells well
  179. 5:22, ask yourself how much that market can
  180. 5:24absorb and in what other countries or
  181. 5:26places this offer could actually sell.
  182. 5:28And if you want to work through that
  183. 5:30process with me from testing to
  184. 5:31validation and market expansion, you
