Test Small. Scale Winners.
Daily, campaign, testing, scaling — each budget has a job.

Why it works
Most beginners burn budget on untested ads. Pros separate testing money from scaling money.

Revenue
When to use it
From the first $5 you spend.
When NOT to use it
Never skip budget planning — set caps before launching.
How to use it
- Allocate 20% to testing, 80% to scaling proven winners.
- Set daily caps to prevent runaway spend.
- Scale winners by 20-30% every 3-4 days, not 100% overnight.
- Kill any ad set under your CPA target after 3-5x your CPA in spend.
Examples
Test
5 ad sets × $20/day for 5 days = $500.
Scale
Winner from $50/day → $65 → $85 → $110 over 9 days.
