# So Good, Twitter Shut Me Down
Twitter, like most digital ad marketplaces, sells on credit and bills you after. If you're a new Twitter ads user, that limit is ~$200. Unfortunately, I spent just over $200 on Twitter ads in the past 2 days.

I was billed for Saturday on Monday and as of writing this my ads are currently capped, even though I was hoping to spend another $60-70 in the afternoon.
# Twitter Ads For Testing
I've been using these promoted tweets and follower ads to quickly test what resonates with my ideal audience the best.
I need my budget approved before I can finish my tests and publish a deep dive, **but here's 10 takeaways I learned in my first week being a Twitter.**
1. It takes Twitter ~1,000-2,000 impressions to train on a tweet.
2. Follower Gain Ads are the best bang per audience growth buck (I pay $1 each)
3. Reach Ads targeting reach with engagement should be next.
4. You'll probably pay a little more to promote a tweet thread.
5. You'll probably pay a little less to promote a video.
6. You can retarget people who engage with your tweets for a funnel.
7. Twitter's audience lookalikes are A-MAZING!
8. People like tweets a lot more often if they have no media or video
