@benradack thank you bro, this is crazy value 🙏🙏

I no longer Post ID my winning ads. (Bookmark this) Have you ever noticed that an ad you Post ID'd worked in testing but doesn't perform the same in scaling? I have two theories on why. 1. Post ID only grabs one primary text variation. When I Post ID an ad that has multiple text variations, it only brings over one. But when I check my text breakdowns, different variations perform on different days. So by Post ID'ing you're locking yourself into one variation and losing the others that were contributing to performance. 2. Post ID doesn't bring over your other placements. Your 9x16, your Stories creative, your placement-specific assets. They don't come over. You have to manually replace them. And I'm sure most of you miss that. What I do instead: duplicate Duplicating brings everything over. → All text variations → All placement assets → Engagement pools between the original and the duplicate now (this wasn't always the case) So you get the same benefit of Post ID without losing your text variations or placement creative.

@benradack when you’re consolidating the ads, do you just duplicate or use post IDs?

Consolidation isn't sexy but it fixes 80% of struggling accounts. Every time I audit an account that's underperforming I see the same thing. Too many campaigns. Too many ad sets. Budget spread so thin that nothing has enough data to optimize. So we consolidate. → 6 campaigns down to 2 → 10 ad sets down to 3 → Same spend, fewer places for it to go The results are almost always immediate. Meta has more data per ad set. Budget concentrates on what's actually working. You stop bidding against yourself. It's not a fun move. Nobody wants to hear "turn stuff off." Everyone wants to launch something new. But sometimes the best thing you can do for your account is make it smaller.

@duborges I just got a random $1,500 rebill from them and I haven't used their service since June 2025. I didn't even know they had a $1,500 monthly subscription

remember icon .com? after paying $12M for the domain, going bankrupt and taking their site offline... ... they are still running a huge rebill fraud on accounts that signed up for their free trial! if you ever used their saas, go check your credit cards

@jefftangx they just rebilled me $1,500 and I haven't used their software since June of 2025

@MattEpstein16 would the editors still be constrained by their local internet speeds if they are remoting in?

@SoGross5 @DTCMidas you can create a burner profile and model it after your target audience by liking posts and following accounts that would align with your audience, eventually your whole feed will be tailored to your target audience

@DTCMidas How do you go about watching hours of content the customer would consume (assuming I’m not the customer and my organic feed is totally different)

The difference between a good and a bad creative strategist. I've hired and fired a lot of creative strategists over the years. The biggest difference is that the best ones obsess over every single detail, and the bad ones think their job ends after they write a script. Bad creative strategists: They do some surface-level reddit research → deliver a Google Doc with a script and maybe a atria link with reference video → send it to the editor with minimal context → launch the video when the editor is done → blame bad performance on "the edit wasn't good enough." They treat their job as purely ideation & scriptwriting. Once the script is written, they're done. They don't watch the final edit closely, and when an ad doesn't perform, they point fingers at the editor or the media buyer. Good creative strategists: They obsess over every detail of the final product.

Watch hours of content that the customer would also consume to understand what’s going in the their customers brain from the inside out. The hook - not just what's said, but HOW it's said, the framing, the cuts in the first 3 seconds, the exact moment the text appears. The text placement - does it appear too early? Too late? Is it readable? Does it complement or distract from what's being said? The number of cuts - is the pacing too slow? Too fast? Are we losing people because the pacing is off. The b-roll - does it reinforce the message or just fill space? They provide detailed, specific feedback to editors. Not just "make it better" but "cut this section down by 2 seconds, show text in hook 2 sec later, add this exact testimonial here." They own the end product. If an ad doesn't perform, they don't blame the editor or the media buyer. They look at what went wrong, learn from it and apply the learnings the next batch If you're hiring a creative strategist Look for someone who obsesses over the final product. Someone who watches the ad 20 times before they launch and someone who takes ownership of performance, not just the script.

@DalyDee___ @willduncn adobe costs like $70/mo?? try paying shopify $1,000 a day in fees (and they’ll still give you a payment hold)

@willduncn This is just like video editors checking their Adobe subscription every month while knowing damn well they can’t cancel it 😭 But for real though, Shopify fees hit different when you’re running paid ads and realize the platform is eating more than your ROAS.

Ecom bros when they check their shopify fees:

@jforjacob @ron_ecomm my bad i read the tweet wrong

@ccccccccccolin @ron_ecomm I do order inventory

Offering my own 2c here When you plan inventory incorrectly, it can easily haunt you for the next 12+ months. Literally 1 wrong PO = 12+ months of headache. I actually still have shit that I am dealing with for close to 24 months. At this point, I am about to close my eyes and just declare it a loss. You have to fully understand the relationship between PnL + Cash flow + Balance sheet Everyone knows the KPIs for PnL such as net profit % target, GM % etc but no one ever talks about KPIs for cash flow and balance sheet because I think most operators don't actually know the relationship between all 3 and how they all work together. If you don't understand your cash flow and B/S as well as your PnL, I implore you to start learning them ASAP. It's actually not even that complicated. I'd go as far as to say that if you understand all 3, it reduces your blow-up risk by like 10x because they all place an important constraint on your business that prevents you from doing something silly. Just let the KPIs constrain you and operate from within that space. Don't be a hero.

@jforjacob @ron_ecomm so if you’ve never ordered inventory you’re dropshipping everything? have u been able to improve shipment speed/reliability? that has been my biggest issue with dropshipping, i end up breaking the supply chain when i scale up

I have never did a revenue forecast, never ordered inventory I didn’t have the cash sitting there to buy Imo your cash position dictates the inventory you should purchase and thus how much you should spend on ads, not a forecast and revenue goals Have never been caught with my pants down as a result

@iblamejulius so that means he's spending $5 a day on the other adset 😭

This is your competition (part 2)

@maxworld @advertising_jan just sent

@ccccccccccolin @advertising_jan dm

4 different angles. Same burger. Same client. Here's what we tested this week 🍔

@capitalwire_ @Polymarket Not true, ChatGPT arguably knows more about its users than Instagram

@Polymarket They're charging advertiser rates like they're Instagram while having the targeting data of a phone book

JUST IN: OpenAI is reportedly charging advertisers $60 for every 1k impressions for ChatGPT ads.

@maxworld @advertising_jan Very interested in purchasing rights to this software, can you put me in touch with him? I can pay you a referral fee as well

@advertising_jan its a bit hard to explain, but I got a client who built a tracking software for sales on paid media restaurants. So he actually makes the tracking smh. Not rlly able to explain on my own 😅

@ChelalaPierre1 what countries do you hire from? i have a hard time finding employees from the philippines that actually work hard

am i the only who thinks the “company culture” people are clowns? with their vision boards and mission alignment seminars… when i first got into ecom i met this russian guy. he was running 9 dtc brands with at least 75 employees… all pulling 70+ hour weeks VOLUNTARILY. asked him the secret. "i pay them to win then do the opposite if they lose… so they win." implemented that mentality since day 1. my team is young. we move fast and build 8 figure brands. none of us have TIME to give a fuck about our “team mental health days.” our incentive structure… base salary + performance bonuses (when they win). so they work harder than most because there’s more money on the table. they don’t want unified vision. they want the fucking money. here’s what that looks like for my creative team… $1K ad spend = $100 bonus. $10K ad spend = $250 bonus. $50K ad spend = $500 bonus. and that shit’s UNLIMITED for as many winners as they create. so ofc they're happily pulling 70 hour weeks. bc we’re transparent with how their work helped the company. they reap the rewards of their labor. save your HR and employee day bullshit. give them more incentives.

@ChelalaPierre1 how are you scaling supply chain + inventory this quickly?

best choice i made was leaving dropshipping for dtc. (new store btw)
