Here is how I would go about ensuring a high converting spokesperson/UGC actor for creatives.

Structural breakdown of a creative we were able to spend 7 figures on...

About 4-min long and didn't introduce the product until 90 seconds into the video. Topline overview:
1. Hook
2. Lead (must tap into existing belief)
3. Mechanism of problem + agitate
4. Comparison to inferior solutions
5. Introduce solution
6. Build credibility
7. Mechanism of solution

For the lower CPA we used a more specific guarantee & first-time buyer's offer within the creative.

Wins:

2. COGs & shipping increases across board
3. Having to scale down one of the brands as it's a large product and margins didn't make sense with shipping increases

End of month for main store & things I will be working on to push higher, despite Facebook inconsistencies. 1. Maximising profit per click - this whole time I've been driving traffic to Shopify product page & checkout.

1 month into new store - Image In the first month all I'm looking to do is validate a single product funnel through Facebook (validation is breakeven or more).

This particular product has been slightly profitable with a basic ad & images (ordered for $80 on airtasker) and shopify funnel
