# How to add operational costs and investments per channel

> Learn how to add and manage operational costs and investments per channel in Nemu.

## 1. Access the "Operational Costs" menu

* In the Nemu sidebar, click on **"Operational Costs"**.
* This is where you can add and manage investments per channel and other costs.

## 3. Understand the difference between the two types

* **Investment per channel:** use for costs related to marketing channels (e.g., CRM, email, influencers, etc.) to calculate ROI.
* **Operational cost:** use for general expenses (freelancers, rent, studio, etc.) that don't need to be tied to a specific channel.

## 4. Adding investment per channel

You can do this in two ways:

### 4.1. Add individually

* Fill in the fields:

  * **Title** (e.g., March CRM Campaign)
  * **Source, Medium, Campaign, Content** (UTMs you already use)
  * **Start and end date**
  * **Total value invested**

* The value will be **distributed proportionally per day** in the indicated period.

### 4.2. Bulk import

Ideal if you have **many investments** to add at once.

Steps:

1. Click on **"Bulk import"**

2. Download the **template** provided

3. Fill in the columns:

   * Title
   * Source, Medium, Campaign, Content
   * Start and end date
   * Total value

4. Send the file back through the platform

**Important:**

* Keep the **UTM standard** you already use to ensure the connection with the channels.
* The dates are used to calculate the **daily investment** (e.g., $10,000 for 10 days = $1,000 per day).

## 5. View and edit your investments per channel

In the **"Operational Costs"** tab itself, select the **"Investments per channel"** tab to see the entire **upload history** you performed.

* You can edit or delete each item.
* There you can see the investment name, daily value, dates, and creation date.

## 6. View the data in the campaigns tabs

After adding the costs:

* Go to **Campaigns > All Channels** to see ROI, Revenue, Spend, etc. data.
* The investments you add will be distributed to the respective channels and UTMs.

Also:

* The channels you insert also appear in the **"Others"** tab.
* The "Others" tab shows detailed UTMs (Source, Campaign, Medium, Content).
* **Important:** if you don't fill in the `campaign`, `medium`, or `content` fields at the time of upload, these fields will appear blank in the "Others" tab view.

## Ready

Now you can measure the return on channels that don't have direct integration with Nemu and also control your operational costs in one place.
