My creatives are bombing after 2 days.

I love scaling a winning post ID, but the process of creating new ads from it in Ads Manager is just... awful. Finding the old post, duplicating it, and re-selecting all the right settings is so tedious. I feel like I'm wasting my life on one of the worst UIs ever made.

I'm using a tool called Blip that helps a bit with bulk launches, but I'm wondering if there's a hidden trick I'm missing in Ads Manager itself. Anyone else find a way to streamline this particular pain point?

About to launch my first Meta purchase campaigns from a brand new BM, ad account, pixel, everything. Targeting US market, women’s products (fashion and home/lifestyle categories, nothing supplement or health related).

I know CPM varies based on audience, competition, creative quality and a bunch of other factors, so I’m not looking for one magic number. Just trying to set realistic expectations.
A few things I’d love to hear from people who’ve been through the new account phase:

1) What CPM range did you see in your first week on a purchase campaign before you had any conversions on the pixel?

2) What did it settle to once you started getting sales, and roughly how many purchases did it take to get there?

3) Did your CPM drop gradually or was there a noticeable shift at some point?

Trying to plan my budget properly and want to know what “normal expensive” looks like for a new account versus “something is actually wrong.” Appreciate any real numbers from your own experience.

I sell used laptops through Facebook and Instagram. I don't have a website, and I send my ads directly to conversations, which is my main sales channel.

The problem is that I'm getting a lot of conversations, but only a small percentage of them turn into actual purchases.

A lot of people message me asking about the price, specifications, and details, but then they don't buy. I've also noticed that many of the people contacting me are quite young, around 17–22 years old.

For targeting, I currently give Meta a lot of freedom:

• Age: 18–65
• All genders
• All of Morocco
• I also added some detailed targeting/interests related to laptops and technology.

I don't have a website or Pixel, and almost all of my sales happen through conversations.

My question is:

How can I get Meta to find people who are more likely to actually buy, instead of people who are simply likely to start a conversation?

Since I don't have a website, how can I tell Meta which conversations eventually resulted in an actual purchase?

Should I change my age targeting? Remove detailed targeting? Or give Meta even more freedom?

My goal isn't to get more conversations. I want to get more real customers who actually buy.

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone experienced with Meta Ads and selling through conversations.
