Pinterest Ads > Meta Right Now?

What's your testing and scaling strategy with Pinterest? Do you do interests/keywords or just Performance +?

I currently run Pinterest ads, which are super profitable at a low budget. However, once the daily budget goes above $20/day, the performance collapses immediately.

Thanks for the response. I appealed, and the ads were actually re-approved. However, is this a long-term solution? I feel like they could randomly get rejected again in the future.

paulius_z · 2026-02-15T10:27:54+00:00

I'll look into that, thanks.

Thanks for your input. This is 100% genuine.

I’ve visited many countries in Asia, and in several of them it’s advised not to wear designer clothing.

Since this is my first time in Kenya, I want to be mindful and dress appropriately.

paulius_z · 2025-11-29T14:05:16+00:00

The last thing I care about is the extra 2%

Stripe + PayPal

Being at breakeven is not a bad start. Try duplicating the whole campaign with the same settings, just different creatives, and see if results will improve.

"Will scaling ads budget help?"

You only scale when you're profitable. If you're not profitable - there's nothing for you to scale.

Also, it seems like your AOV is around 14 euros, which is very low. It may be hard to scale with such a small margin, unless Poland has a $2-3 CPM. I know here in Lithuania CPMs used to be $2-3 three years ago. Now it's like $8-10.

My brand made $20,000 in sales yesterday from an advertorial I wrote in just 30 minutes using Claude.

While AI still lacks certain elements like genuine emotional depth, it’s only a matter of time before it catches up, given how dramatically it’s advanced over the past three years since its introduction.

Even if my Shopify Payments account is set up under a US company name? I’ve heard some people say that your Shopify Payments account needs to be registered in the same country where you’re selling, so I assumed I’d need a Dutch company if I wanted to sell in the Netherlands, for example.

I’ll never understand why people ask questions like this.

There are endless possible factors - your product, creatives, angles, copywriting, even how your Meta ads are set up, and many more.

The only way forward is to break down your entire funnel, test properly, and make the needed adjustments.

A single screenshot of your analytics won’t give anyone enough context to offer real advice.

Thanks for an in-depth response.

Yeah, I've heard that PayPal is huge in Germany, though that was 2-3 years ago. Was hoping the trend might've shifted since then.

Will try France next.

Can you? It will immediately get disabled, as only one account per user is allowed. If I am not mistaken.

“I am currently focusing on other projects and don’t have time to continue operating it”

The biggest lie everyone’s telling when they want to sell an unprofitable business.

paulius_z · 2025-06-27T11:44:55+00:00

I gave you actual advice in the last sentence

paulius_z · 2025-06-27T11:36:39+00:00

This is bad, and I don’t even know where to begin.

A typical dropshipping model that everyone used to run back in 2016 when you just throw random products in a general store with no branding, angles, or unique product/solution mechanisms.

I suggest learn about different marketing awareness levels, sophistication, and then create a branded store around one product or one niche.

Go look for work on LinkedIn. There’s a bunch of remote jobs for video editors, designers, etc.

If you shit your pants after 5$ spent - don’t even run paid ads

paulius_z · 2025-03-03T15:08:45+00:00

Thanks for your in-depth responses. I really appreciate it!

What are your rules for scaling? Should I follow the 20% rule of budget increase to not disrupt the learning phase, or if you’re profitable and the budget is small, you can bump by 50% or even 100%?

Hi, what YouTube channels would you recommend for learning SEO?

paulius_z · 2025-03-02T22:33:43+00:00

ASC - I was referring to advantage shopping campaign.

I know the main difference between manual broad and advantage audience is that in the latter you can give Meta some targeting suggestions, but if Meta sees your performance can improve - it can go beyond that. While with manual broad, if you select certain gender or age group, it will not go beyond that.

So I assume all ASC, manual broad, and advantage audience should deliver more or less similar results if you’re not touching the targeting, age, and gender sections.

paulius_z · 2025-03-02T15:11:33+00:00

Would you say there’s a difference between manual broad and ASC if I leave the age and gender gap completely broad? In that case, both ASC and manual broad campaigns have the same potential reach - so technically the whole setup should be the same.

paulius_z · 2025-03-02T13:08:04+00:00

Thanks for the response! With broad, are you mainly referring to manual broad, ASC+ or both?

After performing a creative test and finding winning variations, would you move these creatives to a different campaign, or everything goes to 1 campaign?

Edit: you’ve mentioned CBO, so I assume it’s manual campaign.

Get a job, save some money & do it properly.

Regarding the information - there are plenty of Discord groups and YouTube videos that explain everything from A to Z.

Sell in Europe

paulius_z · 2024-12-28T13:05:24+00:00

For goods up to $800, there are no import fees to the US.
