How to Find a Winning Ad in 3 Days With Just $100

Sai Teja - Paid Ads Expert

Most brands get testing completely wrong. 

They either drag it out for weeks—burning time, budget, and momentum. Or they throw money at the problem, hoping a winner magically appears. 

Both are losing strategies. 

Here’s the truth: 

You don’t need $5K to find an ad that works.
You don’t need 3 weeks to get an answer. 

Testing should be Fast. Cheap. Precise. 

Your goal? Spend 10% on testing, 90% on scaling. 

But that only happens when you find a winning ad—fast. 

You need a system that gets you clear results in 3 days with just $100. 

On March 19, I’m breaking it all down inside The Winning Ad Workshop:

đŸ”„How to test 5 ad variations in 3 days—without burning budget.

đŸ”„Why most brands waste 30% of their ad spend on bad testing.

đŸ”„The biggest testing mistakes (and how to avoid them).

đŸ”„How we cut CPA from $65 to $30 using this exact system. 

This $50 investment will save you thousands on wasted ad spend.

Day 5: Locking in Repeat Orders & Reviews (Without Sounding Desperate)

Ibrahim - DTC Growth & Retention

Yesterday, we talked about stopping a buyer’s remorse before it even starts. Today, talk on locking in orders & reviews, without sounding desperate!

Post-Purchase Series

Day 5: Locking in Repeat Orders & Reviews (Without Sounding Desperate)

You know, the great brands don’t just ask customers to buy again. They make it inevitable.

How?

  1. Reorder triggers: If your product runs out in 30 days, send a reminder on day 25. Easy.

  2. Urgency without being cringe: “We saved your exclusive reorder discount for 48 hours” feels more natural than “BUY NOW OR ELSE”

  3. Ask for a review when they’re hyped: The perfect time to ask for a review? Right when they’ve used the product and love it. Not weeks later, or not BEFORE they’ve even received the product (this is the worst!!!)

  4. Referrals done right: Instead of begging for shares, make it worth their while: “Love your [product]? Share it with a friend & you both get $10 off”

  5. Subscription upsells: If your product is consumable, make reordering a no-brainer. If it’s not, introduce them to a next-level upgrade!

The brands that crush retention don’t always spam customers with “BUY MORE” emails. They know they’ve gotta guide them toward the next purchase naturally.

By timing these emails and texts right, you’re not only making more sales, you’re also turning one-time buyers into lifelong customers.

Alright folks, that’s it for today, and that’ll be the end of this series.

Have a great weekend!
