Spent almost $35 after running Meta ads for 3 days — getting ATCs but no sales yet. Need advice from experienced dropshippers
Hey everyone,
I recently launched my Meta ads for my Shopify store and wanted to get some feedback from people who already have experience with this.
So far I’ve spent almost $35 USD mainly to collect data and test creatives/products. My setup is:
• 1 Campaign
• 1 Ad Set
• 3 Ads
Two ads are for the same product with different creatives/angles, and one ad is for a different product. The different product ad barely got any reach/spend.
Right now I’m getting some Add to Carts, so I feel like there’s at least some interest, but still no sales yet. I know $35 is not a huge amount, and maybe Meta is still learning.
I currently have around $200 budget left, and I want to use it wisely instead of wasting money randomly.
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this stage:
• Should I keep testing the current creatives longer?
• Should I duplicate the winning ad?
• Should I test more creatives instead of more products?
• ABO or CBO for a beginner with this budget?
• How much spend do you usually allow before killing an ad?
• Any tips for turning Add to Carts into actual purchases?
Honestly, I’ve already learned a lot from Reddit reading other people’s experiences, so thank you guys for that. I’m still hopeful I’ll eventually get my first sales.
Any guidance or strategy suggestions would really help 🙏
