Issue
Low conversion rates from paid ads: 100-150 website visits with 0 purchases after 2-3 days despite budget spend; 2-3% click-through rate from ads insufficient to drive sales; unclear how to optimize ad performance with limited capital ($150 test budget) without waiting 3 days for algorithm stabilization.
Cost
$150 test budget stated; broader impact unstated but implies wasted ad spend on non-converting traffic
Recommendation

The following are my experiences in the field of advertising, I hope they can help beginners. These methods have been very effective. Advertising is the core. Usually, for every 100 people who see an ad, only 2-3% will click to enter the website, so the ad must be attractive and can accurately convey information. By 2025, the structure of the advertising account should be simple, and the ads will play a positioning role. Most people should choose broad ads. The website is important, but don't put the cart before the horse. If you spend more time on the website than on the ads, you are wrong. Don't make frequent changes within three days after the campaign is launched, otherwise it will reset the algorithm and waste money. Indicators are important, but when sales performance is good, indicators are not very meaningful. Only when the advertising performance is poor, you need to refer to indicators. You also need to have a reliable supplier, which is crucial.

Just did my first ad at a low budget and so far have gotten 100ish visits but no purchase. Care you take a look and give an opinion? Thanks in advance Edit: removed store link since it is conflicting with my conversion data

Ive made a store 2 days ago and I'm not really getting any traffic only 50-100 people and no add to carts. Can you look at the store and let me know [liva.it.com](http://liva.it.com)

But what if I cant spend more than 150$ to test one product? (due to low capital) I cant let the bad performance campaigns run for 3 days.
