Here’s a proven playbook for boosting your eCommerce revenue, which I personally used to generate monthly recurring revenue (MRR) for my own business! While there are many paid media strategies out there, this specific approach is tailored for TikTok ads, which has proven highly effective in driving results.
(Pre playbook knowledge)
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, creative content and strategic paid media are essential for driving engagement and sales. Crafting engaging content and utilizing paid media effectively can maximize conversions and build brand loyalty.
The Power of Creative Content
Storytelling: Storytelling is a powerful tool for emotionally connecting with consumers. Sharing brand stories, product origins, or customer experiences fosters a deeper relationship with the audience and can set a brand apart.
Visual Content: High-quality visuals, including videos and images, are crucial for capturing attention. Videos, tutorials, and product demonstrations immerse customers in the product experience, boosting interest and sales.
User-Generated Content (UGC): Customer-created content, such as reviews and social media posts, enhances trust and authenticity. UGC can help build a loyal community around a brand.
Interactive Content: Tools like quizzes, polls, and AR try-ons engage users more deeply, increasing the likelihood of conversion by making them feel involved in the shopping experience.
Leveraging Paid Media for Success
Targeted Advertising: Paid ads on platforms like Facebook, Google, and Instagram allow for precise targeting, ensuring creative content reaches the right audience and increases the chances of conversion.
Retargeting: Retargeting ads are effective for reminding visitors about products they’ve shown interest in, helping to nudge them toward a purchase.
Social Media Campaigns: Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are key for visually driven content. Paid social ads, when combined with compelling visuals and strong calls-to-action, can drive both brand awareness and sales.
Influencer Marketing: Partnering with influencers allows brands to tap into established audiences, driving traffic and boosting credibility through authentic recommendations.
Measuring Success
To refine strategies and improve results, it’s important to measure the effectiveness of creative content and paid media. Metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and return on ad spend (ROAS) provide valuable insights into campaign performance.

Scaling Your Ad Campaigns: Day 1 & Day 2 Strategy
Day 1: Initial Scaling
After testing and determining whether your ad account favors Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) or Ad Set Budget Optimization (ABO), you're ready to scale. You can choose to run either 5 CBO campaigns or 1 ABO campaign based on your preferred approach.
ABO Scaling Strategy:
Campaign Setup:
1 Campaign
10 Ad Groups at $40 each
Goal: Set to "Complete payment"
Platform: Only TikTok
Ad Settings:
Downloading: Off
Sharing: On
Comments: Optional (Manage throughout the day)
Targeting: Broad
Start Time: Set for midnight
CBO Scaling Strategy:
Campaign Setup:
5 Campaigns at $50 each
10 Ad Groups per Campaign
Goal: Set to "Complete payment"
Platform: Only TikTok
Ad Settings:
Downloading: Off
Sharing: On
Comments: Optional (Manage throughout the day)
Targeting: Broad
Start Time: Set for midnight
Scaling Guidelines (For Both ABO and CBO):
Break Even ROAS: Determine your Break Even ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) using this calculator. Cut ad groups that are underperforming or do not meet the break-even ROAS.
Optimization post-12pm:
Profitable Ad Groups: Every 30 minutes after 12 PM (your time zone), optimize your profitable ad groups:
ROAS above 2.8: Increase budget by $100
ROAS below 2.8: Increase budget by $50
Horizontal Scaling: Expand on winning campaigns or ad groups by duplicating them to target new audiences.
Day 2: Expanding & Refreshing
Campaign Copying:
For ABO: Duplicate your best-performing campaigns (aim for 5-10 new campaigns).
For CBO: Duplicate your top-performing campaigns (aim for 10-20 new campaigns).
Scaling Process:
Continue to repeat the same rules as Day 1, focusing on budget adjustments and cutting unprofitable ad groups.
Creative Refresh:
To sustain growth, constantly refresh your creatives and test new variations while scaling further.
Further Scaling:
Continue creating new campaigns daily, increasing budget as needed while keeping a sharp eye on performance metrics.
Key to Success:
Consistency: Repeating these steps while adjusting based on performance is crucial.
Creative Testing: Constantly refresh creatives and test new variations to avoid ad fatigue.
Scaling: Focus on both vertical (increasing budgets) and horizontal (duplicating successful campaigns) scaling for long-term growth.
By following these steps, you can consistently scale your campaigns and optimize ad performance.
