One profitable channel first

Get one channel to contribution-profit before adding a second. Pick it, set a 60-day test budget, write kill/scale rules before launch, and review weekly against break-even ROAS.

Adding a second channel feels like growth, but before your first is profitable it's usually the fastest way to lose money on two fronts. A soft offer, a leaky landing page, or muddy tracking doesn't improve with more spend, it just loses faster. Master one channel's economics first; earn the right to add the next.

Every new channel splits your attention, budget and data. Do it before the first one makes money and you don't diversify risk, you multiply your leaks. An algorithm needs volume to optimize; a split budget starves every channel of the data it needs.

AI can draft the whole 60-day test plan. But the learning threshold and your unit economics have to come from the platform and your own numbers, never a guess.
