Original caption

If you’ve ever stared at your Facebook Ads Manager and felt completely lost looking at all the numbers, you’re not alone. I lost $15,000 trying to outsource my ads to 3 different agencies without understanding any of this. The crazy part is that once I actually learned how to read the data by getting my own mentors, everything clicked and I scaled my first dropshipping store to $1.1 million in 3 months. Knowing your numbers is the difference between actually making money and burning it. #dropshipping #shopify #ecommerce #onlinebusiness

Lara Rahib @theecomwolf Explaining dropshipping terms like you're in 5th grade. If you don't know these, you're literally burning money on ads. Save this so you don't forget... Last 30 days Total sales $97,733.87 47% Orders 716 47% Conversion 2.03% 10% $6K $4K $2K $0 Mar 23 Apr 2 Apr 12 50+ Orders to fulfill 4 Return requests 1. ROAS. Return on Ad Spend This is the most important one, guys. It's the amount of money you get back for every $1 you spend on ads. If you spend $1 and make $3 back, your ROAS is 3x. Higher ROAS = more profit in your pocket. 2. CTR. Click-Through Rate Out of all the people who saw your ad, this is the percentage who actually clicked on it. If 100 people see your ad and 2 click, your CTR is 2%. High CTR = your ad is grabbing attention. Low CTR = your creative is weak, change it. 3. CPA. Cost Per Purchase This is how much it costs you in ad spend to get one customer to actually buy. If you spend $100 on ads and get 5 sales, your CPA is $20. The lower the CPA, the more profit you keep. 4. AOV. Average Order Value This is how much the average customer spends per order on your store. If you sell 10 products for $1,000 total, your AOV is $100. Want to make more money? Add upsells and bundles to push this number higher. 5. COGS. Cost of Goods Sold This is just what it costs you to get the product from your supplier. If you sell a product for $100 and your supplier charges you $25, your COGS is $25. Always know this number before you run a single ad. 6. Break Even ROAS This is the ROAS you need to hit just to not lose money. Take your selling price and divide it by your profit per sale. So if you sell at $200 with $150 profit, your break-even ROAS is 1.33x. Anything above that = profit. Anything below = you're losing money. Now you actually know what you're looking at when you check your ads. If you want help getting started with AI branded dropshipping, click the link in my bio!
