willbakerships shares his most successful distribution channel: a paid ads playbook that burns money up front. TheMoonMidas confirms it's costly and failure-prone — only worth it if you can afford heavy testing.
The workflow:
- Create 8-12 ads using Opus 5.5 Max + Seedance + GPT Image
- Run Meta/TikTok campaigns at $200/day with all ads in one ad group
- Identify winners by reasonable CPA, run 7 days to rule out luck
- Promote winners to a scaling campaign at $400-500/day
- Keep testing new ads at $100/day in the same direction, retiring winners with decayed CPAs
