$9.4k from ChatGPT Ads in the first 21 days
Small skincare brand, about $40k a month, and Meta has been eating us alive since spring. Had my first campaign live before lunch the next day. $9,412 in sales from $1,860 in ad spend over the first 21 days. CPC came in around $2.80, which I haven't seen on Meta since 2023.
First 40 orders from a channel I didn't believe in
We sell ayurvedic supplements, mostly to the US. I took the five questions our support inbox gets every day and turned them into hints. Two weeks in: 41 orders, $2,340 in revenue, $610 spent. The AOV is 30% higher than our Meta orders.
$31k in 30 days on a channel with zero competitors
Outdoor gear brand doing about $180k a month. I thought $27 meant it would be fluff. It's not. August 4 to September 3: $31,180 in tracked sales on $4,920 spend. CPC averaged $3.40. Our Meta CPC is now above $2 and converts at a third of the rate.
Live in one afternoon, first sale the same night
Handmade ceramic mugs on Shopify, one person business. I had the video on one screen and ads.openai.com on the other and just copied every click. Went live at 4pm. First order came in at 11:40pm the same night. Ten days later I'm at 27 orders on $250 spent.
Cut our CPA in half by moving 20% of budget to ChatGPT
Men's grooming brand, UK, around £90k a month. Shifted 20% of our Meta budget across, nothing else changed. After four weeks: £19.60 CPA on ChatGPT vs £43 on Meta for the same SKUs. Conversion rate went from 1.1% to 2.9% once we built hints around the question instead of the product.
$4,100 in sales from $25 a day, no agency, no designer
Pet supplements, Canada, tiny brand. Took the exact same $25 a day to ChatGPT Ads. Took me about 90 minutes including watching the video. Month one: $4,108 in sales from $775 spend. Same budget that was getting me $1,200 on Meta.
Went from skeptic to 3.9x ROAS in 18 days
Full transparency, I bought this to prove it wouldn't work. Coffee subscription brand, nine years in ecom. We launched with 14 hints across the three layers and $40 a day. By day 18: $5,620 in first orders on $1,440 spend, 3.9x ROAS and that's before subscription LTV.
Our best week ever, and it wasn't from Meta
Modest jewelry brand, Australia. Set up the campaign the next morning during my daughter's swim lesson. Week three we did $11,300, our best week since we launched in 2021. About $6,800 of it came from ChatGPT Ads on $1,100 spend.
$18k in 30 days, and 40% lower CPC than Google Shopping
Home fitness equipment, US and Canada, roughly $220k a month. Google Shopping CPC hit $4.90 in July. First 30 days: $18,240 in sales, $3,150 spend, average CPC $2.95. That's 40% cheaper than Google Shopping for the same products, with a similar conversion rate.
First profitable channel outside Meta in three years
Baby products, US, about $60k a month. Every non-Meta channel we've tried since 2023 has lost money. After 25 days: $7,860 in sales on $2,080 spend, first profitable channel outside Meta since 2023. Adding budget every week.
