If every ad platform shut down tomorrow, would your brand survive? If not, you don’t have a brand—you have a paid traffic addiction. Most marketers aren’t building brands. They’re just funding ad platforms. Here’s how to build a brand that sells without ads. 🧵👇

@suno when you gonna resolve my billing issues? Its been a week?

"From a distance, it sounds like partnership. Up close, it functions like a commission-based ecosystem where agencies compete to prove loyalty to the platform rather than the merchant." wemotif.com/childs/childs/… via @wemotif

@Nolson5 @Shopify @ShopifySupport Checkout was down too later

Hey @Shopify @ShopifySupport you need call this outage like it is... a full blown major outage! People can't get into their admin, POS is down, can't fulfill orders, etc. Degraded performance is just to try and protect your 3 9's of uptime. Quit lying to the customers, we don't care about your uptime. We care about the truth. MAJOR OUTAGE!

And I wanna never see the brag about best “checkout” best commerce @Shopify you’re not! Just ruined in an important day!

@cryptofergani 5M

@nathan_covey @iamshackelford I am praying to God that your code didn’t make it down!

@iamshackelford i swear it wasn't me x.com/nathan_covey/s…

Please tell me Shopify isn’t down and that this is just a joke.

@iamshackelford Nah man partially checkout is also down

@humrashid I think checkout is also down now! Might be a marketing stunt 😂

How is Shopify down on Cyber Monday? Is this a marketing stunt?

@harleyf Finishing strong…

Weak marketers talk about “product market fit”

okay, so bought this premium domain a while ago for an idea. but now changed my mind I am thinking of selling it PS: looking for serious buyers! Do repost, tag those who might find this useful.

If your business dies when Meta goes down for 6 hours… You never had a brand. You had an ad dependency.

Performance marketer flex: “We scaled to $2m/month with 2x ROAS.” Cool. Where’s the brand now? Dead. Forgotten. Replaced in 2 scrolls.

10. Rock bottom was my foundation. My overdose? My awakening. Most founders optimize for investor metrics. The smart ones optimize for *life* metrics. You’re not breaking down. You’re falling into place. What rock bottom moment changed your business forever?

9. Today, we grow full brand ecosystems. Not ads. Not hacks. Not BS. We build legacies.

🚨 September 2022: I overdosed. And saved my $1.5B business. Sounds crazy? Let me explain 🧵
