Let me first preface this by saying that this strategy and idea is not for everyone. If you run an ecommerce business that requires first order profitability, or if you don’t have any real 3, 6 or 12 month LTV, then this might not be for you.

But if you do have wiggle room on the amount of dollars you can make today in exchange for more dollars tomorrow, then this could be for you. Especially if you are in some sort of consumable category like beauty, food, health etc.

We had been spending just around $400,000 per month on Meta for the last 6 months - some months we were able to spend more, some less. But on average, $400,000 per month.
