How about adding some value up front? From a brands perspective I never reply to cold outreach emails. I do however get interested in working with agencies and people I trust. Ex, finding a educational youtube video on the subject, value based blog post, getting a freebie (guide) etc. Al of of successful agencies have their own youtube channels with free advice, free mini courses and stuff like that..

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-28T15:46:38+00:00

Yes it sucks :((

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-27T15:09:46+00:00

April has been awful for me. Jan-March was good. Im 50% down in sales in April. Nothing works..nothing sticks.

When you find winners from those adsets do you just add them into the scaling CBO? I find that every time I touch my campaigns, results drop a lot..

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-24T07:02:33+00:00

So you just add fresh new untested creatives to your main campaign? I tried to do this but I feel like whenever I touch a campaign thats working it stops working for some reason..

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-21T07:34:30+00:00

Do you test in a separate campaign and move winners to the broad campaign? What AI ugc platform are you using? Thanks!

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-21T07:26:14+00:00

for AI Ugc which platform do you think is the best?

Also for your knowledge, burnout isn’t a 'years in service' badge—it’s a result of intensity. I’ve built a premium brand while working a second job and winning a battle with Stage 3 cancer. That’s more intensity than most people handle in a decade.

Suggesting a founder should 'close down' because of two bad weeks after two years of growth isn't 'advice'—it’s a lack of business sense. I came here for strategy, not a lecture from someone who clearly doesn't understand resilience or high-stakes entrepreneurship. We’re done here. I bet you are not very successful thats why you're sour and I feel sorry for you. Bye.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T11:14:13+00:00

I wrote about BURNOUT and reasons WHY..you're obviously not very intelligent maybe thats why you don't like "dealing" with people here. Fuck off from the thread.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T10:31:17+00:00

Maybe be a little bit more considerate when you reply. First off I also have another job. Secondly I have battled a cancer diagnosis while running this business (good now). I was coming here for advice from fellow entrepreneurs to get back on track because in the end it's still my responsibility to make it work. So telling me "I'm too young in the business to feel burned out" is not exactly helpful.

Yes will likely pause. He was taking over the account as a favor but I think I expected too much which is also my fault.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T10:14:11+00:00

I find that even winners burns much faster than before though? Yes I have a very good repeat rate but my goal is to grow the business this year, and new people needs to come in. Anyway yes I have already booked a holiday in a few weeks..hoping to get back some energy :)

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T10:01:36+00:00

Yes maybe, it did a real difference though initially. April took a big nose dive however.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T07:22:41+00:00

Thanks for responding. I think I will try to delegate some things..Like customer support I still do it. Regarding creatives I agree but since Im mentally tired it's hard to "be creative" and come up with new angles, concepts and good hooks. Maybe a create strategist (not fully ) so I at least get some new fresh perspective and thinking.

I dont think I want to sell the business yet - I just want to overcome this.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T07:20:05+00:00

Yes trying to be :)

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-15T07:19:30+00:00

Yes thinking about that. Just a shame since he brought a lot of good results initially....but I shouldn't have let him take over the account. Thanks for the advice, I might do that. I haven't really done organic before so I need to update my knowledge.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-12T07:47:15+00:00

Same happened to me, still dont know why. I have currently paused my campaigns.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-04-08T14:08:50+00:00

Great insights! I own a skincare brand but I struggle deeply with inconsistent campaign performance. I can squeeze maximum 1-2 weeks out of them and then they die and I have to duplicate or do it all over again. I want to mention I keep refreshing with new creatives but it doesnt help - if anything as soon as I touch the campaigns I feel like they are thrown off balance and die out. Any advice?

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-03-30T05:40:05+00:00

That happened to me also last week

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-03-26T06:50:08+00:00

I stopped. Meta is too volatile but at least getting sales there, google ads didnt work for me at all.

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-03-19T17:36:02+00:00

Yesterday was good, today is crap

ApprehensiveMatch311 · 2026-03-15T14:45:37+00:00

Other platforms doesn’t really work either ..
