Case Study – Zero‑Effort YouTube Growth for an e‑commerce brand

TL;DR

With a $35/mo TikTok‑to‑YouTube automation, an e‑commerce brand slashed acquisition costs by 74× and pocketed ~$6.7 k in media‑spend savings—all in under 10 minutes of setup time.

1. The Challenge

Running paid YouTube campaigns was burning budget: $2,687 produced 92,308 views and a frustrating 0.7× ROAS. The team needed more reach among women in their primary market without hiring more hands or jacking up ad spend.

2. The Solution

We deployed our Auto‑Reposter: a hands‑off workflow that mirrors every TikTok post to YouTube Shorts. Cost: $35 per month. Effort after ignition: precisely none.
