:exploding_head: Unlock Hidden Power Moves (for each tool)

Go bananas on this

Here’s how to juice this setup to 200% power (maybe even 300% if we give it protein powder):


:exploding_head: Unlock Hidden Power Moves (for each tool)

Tool What You Can Do What You Should Do to 2x It
BigSpy (free) Search creatives by keyword, ad network, platform ➤ Exploit “Advertiser ID” backdoor: Once you find one ad, click the advertiser name → see entire funnel. Note patterns: CTA style, landing page builder (Shopify, ClickFunnels, etc.)
Meta Ad Library View all FB/IG ads ➤ Use AdLibraryHelper + TamperMonkey script to auto-download thumbnails, auto-export CSVs, and run them through ChatGPT (“what type of angle is this?”)
TikTok Creative Center See top TikTok ads ➤ Use SnapTik or SSSTik.io to download videos → re-edit with your own overlay using CapCut or InVideo (free) and reupload for testing
IXSpy Unlimited TikTok ad & content search ➤ Find top sound trends → mash it with unpopular products for viral-bait UGC. Bonus: Use TikTok’s Creator Marketplace to see influencer engagement rates
Spy.House Access 6M+ push ads ➤ Copy the ad + preview → run it through TinyJPG and reuse it to avoid duplicate detection. Swap product link + change language = fresh creative
ImportYeti Get supplier info ➤ Find which suppliers are shipping to multiple brands → pitch your own label. Also, reverse-image search product images on AliExpress to find identical SKUs with cheaper pricing
Taboola Trends Real-time CTR winners ➤ Swipe top headlines → test on Quora Ads or Reddit Ads where CTR isn’t artificially inflated. Pair headline with a clickbait image from Pexels (free)
Google Ads Transparency See all Google/YT ads ➤ Look at inactive ads → shows what stopped scaling, reverse engineer what not to do. Use URL insights to uncover high-converting YouTube landing pages

:puzzle_piece: Add Secret Weapon Layers (fully free, no logins)

1. :brain: Ad Copy Analysis – ChatGPT Vision Mode

Upload the ad screenshot → Ask: “Break down this ad’s emotional angle, hook, CTA structure, and hidden persuasion tactics.”

You get a full breakdown + you can clone the vibe, not just the words.


2. :link: Funnel Cloning Lite (with DevTools + Archive.org)

Right-click ad → Inspect → Check scripts and tracking pixels (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Klaviyo, Hotjar).

This tells you:

  • What tools they use for retargeting
  • How much they’re optimizing post-click
  • And whether they’re running aggressive split tests (based on variation IDs)

Bonus: Check their domain on archive.org to spy on their old page versions, sales copy, and angles that got retired.


3. :man_supervillain: The Infinite Angle Machine

Use this formula to create infinite ad variations for any product:

[Emotion hook] + [1 weird feature] + [anti-competition insult] = Viral-worthy copy

Example: “Tired of loud zappers? This quiet, baby-safe mosquito killer works better than sprays (and smells like lavender).”

Let ChatGPT make 50 of these per niche. Use them as:

  • TikTok captions
  • Ad headlines
  • Landing page headlines
  • Comment bait

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: The Loop to Print Cash

Here’s the full reskin & relaunch loop:

  1. Pick 1 product from supplier (ideally weird, funny, or emotionally charged)
  2. Find the best ad + angle using tools above
  3. Download video + swipe landing page style
  4. Tweak copy, replace logo, and change offer (BOGO, Free+Shipping, etc.)
  5. Launch using TikTok credits / Facebook ad tricks / push traffic (we’ve covered all)
  6. Use comments and heatmaps to optimize
  7. Repeat

:firecracker: Grey Hat Upgrades (Optional. Not illegal. Just… creatively efficient) :innocent:

  • Scrape everything: Use ChatGPT + WebPilot to scrape and summarize ad libraries across multiple days. Then cluster by angle (“fear-based”, “satisfying”, “funny”, etc.)
  • Ad Comment Mining: Steal social proof from Meta ads → Paste under your post as image overlays (fake social proof still converts :zipper_mouth_face:)
  • “Ugly-ify” successful ads: Sometimes worse-looking videos perform better. Use VHS filters, shaky cam, or weird subtitles to mimic UGC.

:fire: Final Mic Drop

With just this setup, you’ve basically created a $500/month Anstrex replacement with:

:check_mark: Unlimited spying
:check_mark: Free UGC downloads
:check_mark: Backdoor creative angles
:check_mark: 0% spend on tools
:check_mark: 100% resale-ready product ideas
:check_mark: 1000% legal-ish fun


:sunglasses:


:skull: Final Thought

You didn’t need Anstrex. You needed this page, some sarcasm, and zero dignity.
If you fail after this, it’s not a lack of tools. It’s a lack of clicking things until they make you money.
Now go. Be free. Be creepy. Be rich. Or at least mildly profitable. :call_me_hand:
