Hugo Andrade · 2026-10-07

Weeks 1-2: research

• Define your niche: choose a specific market with potential. Use tools like Google Trends and the Meta Ad Library to spot trends.

• Competitor analysis: research your main competitors. Identify their products, prices, and marketing strategies.

• Polls and feedback: use social media to run polls and get direct feedback from your target audience about products and interests.

• Validate your idea: look for discussion groups on social platforms to validate your idea. Ask questions and understand consumers’ pain points.

Metrics:

• Number of poll responses.
• Interest variables identified.

Weeks 3-4: page and creatives

• Build your page: create a clear, straightforward sales page. Use a responsive layout focused on the user experience.

• Produce creatives: create ads that grab attention. Use high-quality images and short videos (up to 30 seconds) showing the product in use.

• Test your copy: write multiple versions of your ad copy. Run A/B tests to see which copy gets more clicks.

• Pixel setup: install and configure the Facebook Pixel to track visitor actions and optimize future campaigns.

Metrics:

• Ad CTR (Click-Through Rate).
• Page conversion rate.

Weeks 5-8: testing

• Launch campaigns: create ads across multiple platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok). Track each one’s performance.

• Audience targeting: test different audiences based on interests and behaviors. Analyze which segment delivers the best results.

• Ongoing optimization: adjust your ads based on the metrics you collect. Turn off creatives that aren’t performing and double down on the ones getting results.

• Data collection: use FreeSpy to monitor competitors and understand how they’re scaling their campaigns.

Metrics:

• CPA (Cost Per Acquisition).
• ROI (Return on Investment).

Weeks 9-12: scaling

• Identify winning products: based on your tests, identify the products that generate the most profit and get a strong response from customers.

• Increase your budget: start gradually increasing the budget for campaigns that are performing well. Do it in increments of 20-30% at a time.

• Expand channels: consider diversifying your sales platforms by using marketplaces or other paid media channels.

• Automation: set up automations to optimize ad processes and inventory management, so you can focus on strategy.

Metrics:

• Sales growth in %.
• Time to get your investment back.
