Why hasn’t someone taken a Resilia or Rosabella and just built a Spanish version ? 50m+ hispanics in the US probably. feels like an obvious opportunity, what am I missing?

You need to be doing everything you can to master only one thing: Running a funnel that can scale on cold traffic profitably. Obviously, copy matters. But copy alone isn't enough. You need: 1. A high quality offer that: a) has strong margins and is ideally consumable for repeat purchases so that you can tolerate a high cost per acquisition. Remember: the business that can pay the most to acquire a customer wins b) can be positioned uniquely in the market, which hasn't seen anything like it before (good copywriting helps here, but if your product has unique attributes, your job becomes a lot easier). c) comes with a great customer experience and service. 2. Strong media buying backed by superior ad creatives 3. A core funnel structure that's proven to scale on cold traffic You could start off with VSLs, but you're better off split testing advertorials since they're easier and faster to produce. Plus, you can quickly split test angles, headlines, etc. rapidly without dealing with delays in video editing, filming, etc. The funnel structure I suggest is: 3 to 5 min direct response ads that drive to advertorials and then the sales page/checkout. 4. Solid operational expertise: a) Inventory/supply chain management b) Cash flow management and financial forecasting and modeling If you're going to scale, you better get ready to put down multiple five or six figures for a purchase order of thousands of units. And if you're breaking even on the front end or even slightly negative, you might need a credit line to place those large purchase orders to scale. When you have all these piece in place, that's when you can actually scale to 8 figs and beyond (the other option is to just go for an info offer where all you need to worry about mostly is fulfillment, not inventory). My recommendation? Start by learning copy. Learn to write advertorials (see link in the next post). See what converts on cold traffic. Then start to add more tools to your arsenal.

Can someone help me out? Getting good soft metrics, $19 cpm, 59 cent cpc, 3.45 CTR, but no sales or even add to carts. native image ads with long form text copy, going to a hybrid listicle/advertorial. Supplement niche, ad account is in CAD btw.

I'm going to do this.
The only reason I'm not going ham with my own DTC supplement brand right now is because I don't want to spend all the time to find and source a great product. Calls with product teams and R&D people. 12-18 week lead times for a first production run. Really, really good ingredients in the best forms and right dosages for proven efficacy. At some point I'll probably do it, but just thinking of the above zaps all my excitement or desire. Younger me would have just found some dubious on-demand supplement and ran wild. He'd be doing millions per month right now with decent margins, telling himself the on-demand product was "good enough" or "probably an overall net positive" for the consumer. Older me feels very strongly about only selling products I really believe in. The curse of experience I guess...

Day 1 Update: spent 1k, zero sales, but 3 people reached checkout. The caurosel ad randomly got like 500 clicks in one minute right after midnight, so the stats are kind of off. If I get similar results today ill step back and switch optimization to Add to Cart. My CPM's arent crazy though, around 50usd. CPCs when removing the outlier are 3.60usd. Think I just have to let it run for a couple of days and not freak out over one day of results.
Ads go live at midnight for a new brand I'm starting. Niche sport, $500 AOV, 60% gross margin. A couple months ago I saw a guy driving a GT3RS show up to play, using the same trash gear a middle schooler would use. That's the gap in the market this brand fills. I don't have inventory yet, so doing pre-orders to fund the bulk order. Following @Peter_Quadrel new account guide: - 1 CBO campaign, 1 ad set for 1 product - 1k/day budget based on average luxury/premium CPA in the niche - Highest Volume, broad + few suggested audiences - All 3 attribution windows - 10 creatives across distinct angles - Purchase optimization I believe in the product enough to bet on it, but dont have the budget to test at 1k/day for weeks. If I dont get promising results after this weekend, i'll kill it and figure out next steps.

Huge shout out to @raysinlao for letting me hang out and meet a bunch of cool people. Wild to see random nondescript dudes who do millions a month, really expanded my horizons. now time to head home and get to work.
First time at any affiliate event - a last minute decision No job title or company to fill out on the signup form (made something up) Nobody knows me and I know nobody. Missed the meet market but will still try to talk to as many people as I can

They filter by zip code at first, need to figure out why. Maybe the offer requires certain geos. Using inspect element, I can see they use TrackDrive, a call tracking and lead software I wasnt familiar with. 📝
