What is the most optimal budget for ads for a solo developer?

I’m currently working on a small side project, a hangout game (because why not??? i need a break from edgy game) and i kind of want it to succeed, so i figured i’d invest into ads

but well, me being a solo developer and the game being a hangout game, my budget isn’t exactly the greatest and ad credits aren’t the cheapest either (i am a minor so i can only do ad credit)

sooo i wanna ask if there’s any optimal budget for ads that i should follow, or should i just do a random budget and hope that my ads attract users?

I mean i never invested in roblox ads to promote my game, most of the time i create videos on other platforms

since your project is a hangout game, you can create funny videos around it if your game has a funny side (like Therapy does), or just normal videos advertising your game, if your videos goes viral, it will work better than investing money on ads

okay i think “hangout” was not very specific

the game is just a simple “cafe” “chill with friends” “hangout”, nothing much to it

so the problems with your suggestion are;

  1. I don’t think there’s a way to make videos on such game
  2. I can’t make videos in the first place
  3. I’d have to upload quite a hefty amount of videos to even get a slight amount of visitors
  4. Nothing here I just wanted to expand this list a bit
