Day 63: A Strong Weekend Finish Before the October Deep Dive

It’s November 1st — Day 62 — and the start of a brand-new month in this year-long journey.

Since it’s the weekend, I’m keeping things light but still pushing progress forward with a new split test for the beginner “Your First Song” funnel.

Daily Numbers

Yesterday didn’t perform well — sales came in at $494 with an ad spend of £351 ($462), leaving a slim profit of just $32.

Today hasn’t been strong either, sitting at $240 by early afternoon. We’re well off the $900–$1,000 days we’ve had recently, but fluctuations like this are part of the game.

The key is to focus on consistent testing and improvement rather than day-to-day results.

Funnel Update – “Your First Song”

The new funnel currently has eight total sales. It was slightly profitable during the early days but is now showing a small loss after the first full week.

That’s not a concern — the goal at this stage is to prove the concept, which we’ve done.

Now the focus shifts to optimization — testing and refining the page to increase conversions and push the campaign beyond Facebook’s learning phase.

New Split Test

Today marks the launch of the first proper split test for the beginner funnel. The goal is to explore how emotional storytelling and headline tweaks impact conversions.

Here’s what’s being tested:

• Headline Adjustment –
  The control version kept a straightforward message about learning your first song.

  
  The new variation emphasizes completion and confidence:
  “Play your first song from start to finish — even if you’ve never picked up a guitar before.”

  
  The “start to finish” phrasing highlights the sense of achievement that comes from learning a complete song, not just fragments or riffs.

• Emotional Lead-In –
  The top of the page now opens with “Imagine this moment…” — an emotional hook designed to help visitors picture success before diving into the logical reasons to buy.

  
  The sequence then flows into “Why guitarists fail — and are you ready to put these frustrations behind you?”

  
  This structure creates empathy, builds tension, and then offers resolution — a classic copywriting technique for boosting engagement.

• FAQs Added –
  Based on the discussion from yesterday, I’ve now added an FAQ section to the bottom of the page. These help address common objections about payment terms, digital access, skill level, and guarantees, making it easier for buyers to commit confidently.

The test will run for about a week before any conclusions are drawn.

I’ll be monitoring both conversion rates and engagement to see which version connects better with visitors.

Next Steps

Once this test runs for several days, I’ll review the data and determine whether emotional framing and FAQs deliver measurable conversion lifts.

If they do, those insights can then roll out across other pages and funnels.

For now, the focus remains on steady progress — optimizing copy, testing new angles, and keeping each change simple and trackable.

Tomorrow, I’ll check back in on the numbers and share any early signals from this new test.
