Best answer
Took a brand new store and product to $115k in 10 days. ‍♂️ The key to it was having a killer creative, relevant landing page and a great offer.

@heckelphone6 i dont understand why you are making this remark, obviously @conferva is here in this group to learn. People have a finite amount of money they can spend so some find it harder than others. Getting directly to the point is efficient and effective. so id say her questions are 100% valid and if you dont feel like helping dont leave a dumb comment.

@submariner First of all that's a dude. Second, you can't just expect people to sit and answer all your questions like a Q&A. I mean you can ask, but don't expect them to stick around and answer. Ecom guys are always busy anyway

@submariner You really got upset at my first comment, how precious
by (3.3k points)
Lol this group is literally a Q & A, people pose a question or topic and then people display their knowledge on the matter or try and expand on a theory. Yes I was annoyed at your comment because it literally does nothing for people that actually need help. You stroll into a convo for the sole purpose of telling someone they need to try harder ? Why not suggest some links or expand on some existing convo knowledge or possibly ask how you can help. Or if that's not possible maybe don't comment at all that's probably more helpful than your comment

Way less then 30 days

@gonidium you can do it many different ways. My key the way I scaled so fast was through joint venture partners so I had no upfront costs or very little. But joint ventures aren’t the only way there’s so many other ways to scale that fast as everyone I’m sure has done it a different way ^^

I would like to ask if people are achieving these amazing turn around from start of marketing to extremely profitable with no LLA's. Are you building your winning marketing from new audiences first then building LLA's after they are converting? The reason i ask this is for the more common person new to fb ads and for people who are just starting to run ads so they can have a more firm understanding on whats necessary
by (2.2k points)
@submariner great question. everything starts with fresh audience and data. the more you spend the more data you collect. once you have enough data you create your LLA which will help FB find more customers like the ones that have already purchased  
by (3.3k points)
@beachlamar91202 thank you for the honesty and clarification. I'm having issues currently with acquiring purchases. So I'm looking at better ways of developing the funnel. If you have time can you shed some light on how you approach your funnel structure ? Obv once I have some conversions etc I can start building LLA's
by (2.2k points)
@submariner what platform are you using to sell? Obviously FB for ads but what is your site built on?  
by (3.3k points)
@beachlamar91202 im using woocommerce , www. lozelo. com ^^^ for reference
by (2.7k points)
@submariner if you do have not enough purchases use an LLA from a less complex event. Right now my LLA for Add to carts is performing the best. If you don't have enough add to cars go to view content etc.

I think consistently should be added. Last month did much more profit than that. This month have stopped advertising or emailing as have no stock. So wouldn't be surprised if I made a loss.
