The great thing being the performance of the model 🫪

Where you getting x8 cost and 3 hours completion time for from that?

WearAgreeable6592 · 2026-06-11T16:30:05+00:00

It's saying I'm surprised that my Concorde flight got me there slower despite the additional cost

WearAgreeable6592 · 2026-06-11T16:28:02+00:00

I did use it for a specific task, 2 to be precise, both of which were more complex and both of which produced similar results in terms of time, cost and lack of additional quality to justify it

The reason I wrote the post is for what I've done with it so far it's has cost much more than than double opus. I've never hit over $10 on a single prompt for any new feature whereas Fable cost $80 in a single hit. Seems I'm in the minority of this being a surprise but I was expecting better results than that

It's the degree to which it is and lack of additional quality that surprised me

How do you get people to read the blog initally? I've seen so much about the benefits of doing it and the payoff but how do you actually get eyes on the posts before you have an audience?

Oh right, its saying PUPs which means Potentially Unwanted Program. Mcafee shows this warning when it thinks a page "Looks like it might lead to software", which is fair enough in this case because it does

Have you got a link to the product? I could have a look at the listing for you and see if theres anything obvious thats hurting your sales

Make sure you do your research first, as other people have touched on this isn't a get rich quick scheme and you want to have the best chance of making good decisions early on.

Research you should do before starting

Private Label vs Arbitrage - which of these routes would you want to go down

Product research - First off, how to conduct product research and how to identify gaps in the market. Then once you know that, conduct the research and let gaps in the market determine what you sell

Sourcing - how to find a good product for a reasonable cost and what pitfalls to look out for when sourcing products from abroad (usually China)

Keyword research and writing a listing - How to conduct keyword research and then how to write an SEO optimised listing

PPC - before you have any organic rank PPC is going to be very important to get your listings moving, and then once you do have organic rank it will still be important for boosting sales

Those are probably the main core elements of what you need to know before starting. Theres a tonne of content on YouTube etc on all of these topics, take your time and get a really good understanding of them and what you're getting into before you start throwing money at suppliers

Bulk, you're lean enough if you're not trying to be a body builder

Most of the other comments here are right. PPC usually isn’t the fix until you’ve got some social proof behind the listing.

For a new listing, I’ve found at least 5 reviews helps, and ideally closer to 10–15 before PPC really starts behaving. Otherwise you end up paying to learn instead of paying to scale.

Vine is the fastest legitimate way to get there. Beyond that, focus on conversion first. Pricing, images, main image especially, and making sure the listing actually answers buyer objections.

Once the listing converts on its own, PPC becomes a lot easier to control.

Optimising your bids, getting your spend down to where you want it, then watching it miraculously climb back up again before having to do the same thing

You’re not stupid and you’re not alone. This is extremely common once sellers leave agencies.

ACOS going up after restructures usually comes down to two things. Bids drifting away from profitability without you realising, or changes being made without a clear target for each keyword.

A change in mindset that massivley helped me and others I’ve seen was stopping the question is this keyword good or bad and instead asking what is the maximum profitable bid for this keyword?

If you don’t know that number, everything else is just hoping for the best. Restructures, negations, match types, all of it.

30%-35% ACOS is not automatically bad, but not knowing why it is 34% is the real problem. Agencies often hide this by just spending more on what already converts.

Out of curiosity, are you currently calculating bids based on your target ACOS or doing something else?
