The Beginning / 3 Campaigns

When I test new campaigns I like to start by testing 3 campaigns at the same time. These will b

e 3 campaigns that I find already running on the traffic source.

For me, this is much faster and more efficient than going through the entire process 3 times to

find a winner.

Imagine spending 3 weeks testing Campaign #1 only to find it doesn't work, then spending 3

more weeks on Campaign #2 to find that it doesn't work and then finally getting to Campaign

#3, which works... but it took you 6 weeks to get to it.

Testing 3 campaigns at once saves you all that wasted time. So take 3 campaigns that are alrea

dy live on the traffic source and we'll quickly see which campaign gets the best reaction.

In this example we're going to test Auto Insurance, Skincare Product and a Golf Swing VSL.

Each campaign will be made up of 3 ads. These can be made up of:

• Two ads being used by others, and one of your own.
• One image being used by others and two of your own.
• Three being used by others.
• Three of your own.
  

I prefer to mix my ideas with existing ideas. (Either option #1 or #2)

Here is what the 3 ad groups look like. (This example uses one headline/body copy but you c

ould definitely test different headlines/body copy in each ad if you wanted to.)

Each campaign will use one landing page for now. Preferably one that is proven and being use

d by others on the traffic source already.

(If it's a direct link campaign, you will obviously not be using a landing page)

Each campaign gets a budget of 1x it's offer payout. In this example we have,

• Auto: $6 payout - $6/day budget
• Golf: $25 payout - $25/day budget
• Skincare: $40 payout - $40/day budget
  

Run these 3 campaigns for 3 days.

After 3 days, choose the best campaign based on performance.

There are 3 main performance indicators

• Ad CTRs
• Landing page CTRs
• Conversions
  

Whichever campaign does best on those metrics is the one you'll want to go for.

Example Results after 3 days:

• Auto: $18 spend, .95% Ad CTR, $12 revenue = -33% ROI
• Golf: $75 spend, .35% Ad CTR, $0 revenue = -100% ROI
• Skincare: $120 spend, .14% Ad CTR, $40 revenue = -66% ROI
  

You have to be brutal here. Don't worry about "maybes" or "what ifs" or you'll end up trying t

o run all 3 campaigns at once. The Auto Insurance campaign had the highest CTR and the best

ROI. That's it.

Pause the 2 lowest performing ad groups.

Now we know that we are going to run Auto Insurance because it got the best reaction from t

he traffic source. This campaign will now be getting a daily budget of 3x offer payout.

Next - we'll move to the 3-step optimization process, with all steps based on the number "3".

Step 1: Launch Campaign

In the first phase of the campaign my goal is to see which ad image and angle are going to get

the best reaction.

Remember, there are 3 kinds of reactions. Ad clicks, LP clicks and conversions.

Note: This first step could definitely result in a big loss of money. It's important to know that b

efore you launch, that way you won't be disappointed and quit after the first 3 days.

Here's the "3" campaign launch setup:

• Create 3 ad groups with 3 ads, each with a different angle
• Set the budgets to 1x offer payout per ad group
• Run the ad groups for 3 days
  

Here's what it looks like:

Angles: Cars / Smiles / Money

Step 2: Choose best ad group / angle

After 3 days you will look at which ad group got the best reaction. Look at ad ctrs, landing pag

e ctrs and conversions (if applicable).

Conversions will be helpful at this point, but aren't necessary. Even if you have zero conversion

s just go with the ads that got the best reactions

Normally, one set of ads will "pop" and get a much higher CTR and conversion rate than the ot

hers. This set of ads is probably going to be the best route to take

Example results after 3 days:

• Ad Group 1 (smiles): CTR .99%, Spend: $18, Revenue: $24 = +33% ROI
• Ad Group 2 (cars): CTR .69%, Spend: $18, Revenue: $6 = -66% ROI
• Ad Group 3 (money): CTR .39%, Spend: $18, Revenue: $0 = -100% ROI
  

In this case the winner is clear. Ads that mention Happiness with people smiling is going to b

e the best angle to pursue.

*Ad headlines and ad body copy: If you're profitable at this point, you're done. If not, you'll n

eed to work on your ad headline and body copy. To do this just repeat the exact same proces

s as outline above.

Ad Headlines: Write out 3 ad headlines and run for 3 days with a 3x offer payout daily budget.

Choose a winner and repeat until you're happy with results.

Ad Body Copy: Some say that ad body copy is key in getting people to convert. If you're still n

ot profitable work on your ad body copy using the same 3x process.

P.S. If you want to continue testing and optimizing the "smile angle" you would take the best

"smile" ad and make more versions like it. Let's say the "woman smiling" did the best.

You would create 3 versions of woman smiling (here I'm testing ethnicity) and run them for 3 d

ays.

You can continue doing this. If you find that the asian woman did best, you would now test 3 d

ifferent asian women smile and doing different things. (driving, walking, jumping)

Step 3: Scaling

At this point you should have solid set of ads in one ad group. If you used a proven landing

page you should be profitable or close to profitable.

Now you'll want to start scaling. You've kept the daily budget fairly conservative for the first fe

w weeks to save money while you learn what works, now it's time to scale.

Raise your daily budget 3x every 3 days.

In this example you have an $18/day budget. If after 3 days you want more traffic, raise your b

udget to $54. 3 days later raise it to $162/day. Feel free to round up or down.

If your ROI dips after raising your budget, roll you budget back to where it was before. Then w

ork again on your ads and landing page to get ROI up again, then raise your budget again whe

n you're ready.

This conservative budget scaling protects you from losing money. You don't want to raise you

r budget from $18/day to $18,000/day. That is a recipe for massive disaster.

Budget Sweet Spot:'

Conservative budget scaling may also reveal to you a "sweet spot" daily budget. For example

- let's say you raise your budget from $500/day to $1500 and it falls apart. In this case, your ca

mpaign may not be able to run at that high of a volume. Some campaigns just can't scale to $1

0k/day.

Raise your daily budget by 3x every 3 days and keep an eye on your ROI and you'll be safe. If R

OI dips, roll the budget back, if ROI is great, raise it up 3x.

Keep increasing it by 3x until you have a steady flow of profitable traffic that you're happy wit

h.

Congratulations! You now have a lethal set of ads running and a profitable campaign.
