All I want to talk about is board games, video games, anime, plus randomly wedding photography, and marketing
Coincidentally i recently got Arnak!

But funny enough I HATE Ethnos (and I'm like the only person lol), and I may give Dune another chance but it didn't wow me my first time playing.

Lol it kind of sucks because I'm one of those types of backers too lmfao

I'm not going to voice my concerns to the KS campaign, but I'll just straight up not buy it unless if I REALLY want the game to get to my doors ASAP.

But great KS exclusives will get me to buy a KS though lol

This is like someone claiming to be a cook for 10 years, and they are suddenly asking you

"Hey....you put toast in a toaster right?"

Yeahhh i looked, the KS exclusives were kind of lame compared to other KS games.

Which I guess is a good thing since I am not feeling FOMO lol

I'm so jealous, I didn't even know there was a kickstarter for it freaking months ago!!! I just found out literally earlier today when I saw a friend playing it on his IG stories and I was like.....wait....wtf?!??!?

Thats how out of the loop I've been lol

As a crime? If thats the case, I'm going to give him a pass, not because he's a great dude, but more because that isn't a crime thatll turn heads.

He has plenty more time to commit more of his typical crimes lol

5. But I'd love to hear other folks results! What's been working for you? What hasn't been? Has anyone ran any interesting experiments recently?

I'm now in the process of experimenting with video for newer ads to see if we can get conversions even higher and lead costs even lower.

4. So recently I've been trying out FB lead forms to see what the difference is and results and it's been surprising so far! Even though leads bounce anywhere from $15 all the way up to $30, these are still booking at a 10% rate, and I'm now a $7k wedding photographer.

3. But even before this bug, I haven't generated decent results with FB and PPC ads since about 2019/2020. But even back then with the cheaper ad rates, less competition, and setup, I was still spending roughly $200-$300 per booked client, granted at the time I was also a $2k wedding photographer

2. To this day I still have no idea if that issue has been resolved, but I do not want to drop even more money on something that is clearly broken either with FB or my website for a totally random thing that I don't have much control over to fix.

1. So my past experince with running Pay Per Click campaigns haven't been good for years. In fact, the last time I ran them, I burnt about $500+ on ads that never loaded on user's phones because FB didn't know how to load my website with their browser.
