How to research a brand’s customers before writing a single ad: what to ask the brand, where real customers talk (Amazon, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok), how to use AI without fake quotes, and how research turns into personas.

22 offers that raise average order value, each shown as it looks on the page: bundles, kits, upgrades, thresholds, order bumps and more.

3-for-2, 5-for-3, buy more save more, free-shipping thresholds and gifts: which to use, and the math behind them.

Six sale waves, honest scarcity, hero products and budget pacing instead of one big discount weekend.

Campaigns, creative packs, budgets, naming and a weekly routine, set up step by step.

How Meta’s purchase optimization decides who sees your ads, why a winning ad often breaks when you raise its budget, and how to scale without the CPA running away.
