The $50 Test Checklist.

What this test is

A little money, put in front of people who don't know you, pointed at the page you already built. It isn't required, and paid ads aren't right for every brand. But it's the fastest honest read you can get. Tick each box, launch, and walk away.

The setup

• Your one-page pitch is live and collects emails. Waitlist only, no checkout.
• You've done the Meta + Claude Setup Kit: your brand's Page, a business portfolio, an ad account with a card, and Meta connected to Claude and verified.
• One rule: never let Claude or any other tool click around Facebook for you. Meta can read that as a script and restrict your whole account. Use the official Meta connection only.
• You've written your bar on paper: the number of emails and clicks that means "keep going." Set it now, before any money goes out.

Your ads

• Your ads are finished from the Make Your Ads lesson.
• Each ad is laid out the way the Ad Format Example shows, so Claude can read it.
• Every claim is honest. Nothing you can't back up yet.

The launch

• Run The Ad Launcher prompt in your brand project. It builds the campaign through the Meta connection.
• Check what it built and ask for changes until it's right.
• The budget is a hard $50 in total, running about 5 days.
• Say your bar out loud one more time, then give it the green light.

Hands off

• Don't touch it for the first day or two. Early numbers are misleading.
• Let it run the full 5 days before you judge anything.
• Post in the community that your test is live.
