1Choose your campaign metrics.

2Plan how you will track each.

Worked example to compare with: Comparing two creators

  • Creator A: cost $500, 40 sales at $30 is $1,200 in revenue. ROI: (1,200 – 500) / 500 = 1.4, or 140 percent.
  • Creator B: cost $300, 8 sales at $30 is $240 in revenue. ROI: (240 – 300) / 300 = -0.2, or -20 percent.
  • Decision: continue with A and test a different approach with B.
  • Check: look at the quality of the audience and not only the first-sale numbers.
