I came back to MC ops after a break and kept burning money on “looks active” listing slots.
What finally helped was using one dumb weekly decision rule instead of vibes:
For each paid source (TopG, NameMC, etc):
- Track spend for the cycle
- Track joined players from that source
- Track buyers from that source (via Tebex purchases)
- Compare revenue vs spend
Then classify each source every week:
- Cut: revenue < spend for 2 cycles in a row
- Keep: around breakeven but still growing joins
- Scale: revenue >= 2x spend consistently
A few practical notes that saved me time:
- Don’t judge daily. Weekly minimum, 30-day view preferred.
- Keep attribution simple at first (hostname or source tags), don’t over-engineer.
- Ignore total joins if they don’t turn into buyers.
I built a small tool (CraftSignal) around this exact workflow because spreadsheets got messy, but the framework works even if you do it manually.
If anyone wants, I can share the plain spreadsheet columns + formulas in a follow-up comment (no links).
