€1.5M in Revenue in 2 Years… and Now Meta Ads Is Killing My Business

Honestly, I don’t understand what’s going on with Meta Ads anymore.

I run an online store that generated €1.5 million in revenue in 2 years. The product works, it solves a real problem, and I’ve had excellent results with Meta in the past. Yet for about a year now, I haven’t been able to get back to consistent profitability.

And it’s not like I’m sitting back doing nothing. I create new creatives almost every day, test new angles, new campaigns, different audiences, different formats… I spend a huge amount of time trying to figure out what actually works today.

But what completely blows my mind is how volatile the results are.

I can launch a campaign and get a 7 ROAS on the first day, then the next day it drops to 1.2, without making any major changes. And sometimes the performance suddenly comes back again.

That’s exactly why I don’t think the problem is simply the product. If my product didn’t work, I wouldn’t be having days with a 7 ROAS.

I completely understand that performance can fluctuate, competition can increase, CPMs can go up, and some periods can simply be worse than others. But seeing performance go from 7 ROAS to 1.2 ROAS within 24 hours, and then randomly recover again, is extremely difficult to understand.

And please, don’t just tell me “let it run for 15 days so the algorithm can learn.” I’ve already done that several times. I’ve let campaigns run long enough to see whether they would stabilize.

The result? The only thing that stabilized was the amount of money I was spending. 😅

After a year of testing, analyzing, changing things and trying to get things back on track, I’m honestly very close to giving up completely.

I’d really like to hear from people who have experienced exactly the same thing:

Have you ever had a period where your Meta Ads were performing really well and then suddenly deteriorated for several months? And for those of you who managed to get through it, what did you actually change to get back to consistent profitability?

Which AI tool do you use to quickly create Meta ad creatives?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an AI tool that lets me quickly create ad creatives for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) using just a simple product photo.

The idea is to upload an image and have the AI ​​generate various settings, backgrounds, compositions, and ad variations, without having to build everything manually in Canva.

I’m primarily looking for something fast, high-quality, and tailored to e-commerce.

Which tools have you tested, and which ones have actually saved you time?

Thanks for your recommendations! 🙏

1 million euros in turnover... then Andromeda arrived 😭

Hello everyone,

Since the Andromeda update, have you managed to regain stable performance with your Meta ads?

Before this update, my shop had generated more than one million euros in turnover in just two years. Today, I can’t even exceed €2,000 per month. My campaigns can be profitable at launch, then they completely run out of breath after a day or two.

If you managed to climb the slope, how did you structure your campaigns? What kind of campaign do you use? How many sets of ads and creatives do you launch?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and advice!

Selling in Brazil with Shopify: which payment solution?

Hello everyone,

Are there any French or European sellers here who sell to Brazil using Shopify?

I’m looking to enter the Brazilian market, but Shopify Payments doesn’t support the main local payment methods, specifically Pix and Boleto.

Which payment provider do you use to accept these payments while operating a French or European business?

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

73 Add to Carts, Only 23 Checkouts… What Am I Missing?

Hi everyone,

I run a Shopify store and I'm currently spending €50/day on Meta ads. My campaign is profitable (ROAS above 4), but I'm losing a lot of visitors between Add to Cart and Checkout.

Here are my numbers from the last 6 days:

  • 966 website visitors
  • 73 Add to Carts
  • 23 Reached Checkout
  • 17 Purchases

What do you think could be causing such a big drop between Add to Cart and Checkout?

If you've experienced something similar, what changes had the biggest impact on increasing your Add to Cart → Checkout conversion rate?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

73 Add to Carts, Only 23 Checkouts… What Am I Missing?

Salut tout le monde,

Je gère une boutique Shopify et je dépense actuellement 50 €/jour en publicités sur Meta. Ma campagne est rentable (ROAS supérieur à 4), mais je perds beaucoup de visiteurs entre le moment où ils ajoutent au panier et le paiement.

Voici mes chiffres des 6 derniers jours :

  • visiteurs sur le site

: 966

  • ajouts au panier

: 73

  • passages à la caisse

: 23

  • achats

: 17

Que pensez-vous qui pourrait causer une si grande chute entre l'ajout au panier et le paiement ?

Si vous avez vécu quelque chose de similaire, quels changements ont eu le plus grand impact sur l'augmentation de votre taux de conversion Ajout au panier → Passage à la caisse ?

J’ai même pensé à supprimer l’étape du panier : dès que le client ajoute un produit, il serait directement redirigé vers le paiement.

Merci d'avance pour vos conseils !

ROAS 4 after only 4 days: should I scale already or wait?

Hi!

I launched a Meta campaign 4 days ago with a budget of €50/day.

So far, I have a ROAS of 4, a CTR above 5%, and a CPM around €12.

Would you start scaling now, or wait a bit longer? If so, how much would you increase the budget by?

Thanks for your feedback!

Meta Ads pour le marché américain : ciblez-vous l’ensemble du pays ou des régions spécifiques ?

Bonjour à tous,

Pour ceux d'entre vous qui vendent des produits aux États-Unis via Meta Ads, ciblez-vous l'ensemble du pays ou seulement un ou plusieurs États ? Si vous avez testé les deux approches, laquelle a donné les meilleurs résultats ?

Pour ma part, je cible déjà l'ensemble des États-Unis avec un ciblage large (sans ciblage par centres d'intérêt), mais mes CPM restent très élevés. Avez-vous rencontré le même problème ? Si oui, quelles modifications ou stratégies vous ont permis de réduire vos CPM ?

Merci d'avance pour vos conseils et suggestions.

Bonne journée !

Meta Ads for the U.S. market: Do you target the entire country or specific regions?

Hello everyone,

For those of you selling products in the U.S. through Meta Ads, do you target the entire country or just one or several states? If you've tested both approaches, which one delivered the best results?

On my side, I'm already targeting the entire U.S. with broad targeting (no interest targeting), but my CPMs are still very high. Have any of you experienced the same issue? If so, what changes or strategies helped you lower your CPMs?

Thanks in advance for your advice and insights.

Have a great day!

I'm a French entrepreneur looking to launch my Shopify store in Canada.

I always thought English was the dominant language, but I've noticed that many Canadian e-commerce websites are entirely in French. Which would you recommend starting with: English, French, or both?

Also, is Shopify Payments enough for selling in Canada, or would you recommend offering additional payment methods?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Does Meta Kill Winning Creatives Too Early?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about creative testing on Meta Ads.

Whenever I put multiple creatives in the same ad set, it feels like Meta quickly pushes only one or two of them while giving very little budget to the others.

Do you think it's better to trust the algorithm, or to use an ABO campaign with the same budget for each creative so they all get a fair chance to prove themselves?

Thanks for your feedback!

I mistakenly deactivated a very powerful Meta campaign: will I lose learning? 😡

Hello everyone,

I mistakenly deactivated a Meta campaign that was performing very well. It remained cut off for less than 12 hours and I will reactivate it without changing anything.

In your opinion, is learning at risk of being reset or does Meta keep the data acquired before the break?

Thank you for your feedback!

🚀 After generating more than €1 million in revenue in France, it's time to expand into Scandinavia!

Hi everyone,

After generating more than €1 million in revenue on the French market, I’m now looking to expand into Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

I have a question regarding local payment methods: is it essential to offer Vipps in Norway, Dankort in Denmark, and Paytrail in Finland to achieve strong performance and maximize conversion rates?

Thanks in advance for your insights 😉

New pixel, 5 visits, 2 sales… but a CPM of €80 😡

Hello everyone,

I launched a Meta Ads campaign in the UK with broad targeting, a pixel installed just one day ago, and a total budget of €100 for the day.

So far, I've spent around €40 for a revenue of €180, with 2 sales from only 5 visits to my website. The ROAS is therefore good, but my CPM is around £80, which seems very high to me.

Have you ever encountered such high CPMs in the UK, especially with a brand new pixel? Is this normal at the beginning, or should I test other ad creatives?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
