Lake House

@MediaKing Is the rev breakdown in that order? :)

@MWLakeHouse adsense + affiliate stuff + video sponsors

Two years ago, MarketBeat had zero YouTube subscribers. Today: 400K subscribers. ~$100K/month in revenue. YouTube is not saturated. It just requires real strategy and patience. Most people quit before the compounding kicks in.

@MehtabKarta @rossiadam I worked in tech in Boston in 2016. They were VERY in for a while

@rossiadam AllBirds was never in and basically running at a massive loss to subsidize the lack of PMF. Could have been a profitable smaller brand, but I am quite sure founders made way more anyways off secondary etc following the path they did. I dont blame them at all.

There are a few areas I consider uninvestable because I just don’t understand them. Fashion brands are one of them. Why were these shoes “in” at some point? Why did they become undesirable? No idea.

@ecommmoose @chuckiegregory LINK

Did a pod with Primal Queen co-founder @chuckiegregory We went 1.5 hours deep on: • The rise of Primal Queen • Subscriptions • Creatives • Exits • & everything in between $0 → $100M+. If you’re in ecom, this is a must watch. Like + RT + comment “LINK” and I’ll DM it.

@weddingowner yo, like the tweets. can you dm me? Cant seem to message you for some reason

You have $50K. You’re 25. Would you rather spend it on an amazing wedding that will provide lifelong memories for you and your guests? Or Invest it in the S&P and have $1.1M 35 years later?

@Kallimach0s @dollarsanddata $500k in Kirksville, MO is definitely upper class.

I don't really think geography is all that relevant. If you were making the same money in a VLCOL area in "flyover country," you aren't upper class for your city, because the more relevant point of comparison is national, not your immediate neighbors. There is simply a higher density of actually upper class people in NYC.

Someone earning $500k per year with $1M-$10M in assets is "upper" middle class in NYC (so still middle class). They don't fly private. They have a job. This is obvious once you understand The Wealth Ladder. The true rich are those in Level 5 ($10M-$100M) and above.

@coldtrafficgod Sauce

🧵Quiz funnels that are ripping

@coldtrafficgod Does CPC matter either? Or is ROAS only thing that matters?

this adset has the best metrics in my entire campaign but it has the worst performance in my entire campaign at the end of the day these are all vanity metrics all that matters is CPC & EPC ill pay $200 CPM & $2 CPC if it will return 10k/day profit vanity metrics = irrelevant

@coldtrafficgod Example?

Zap your tasks to VA’s, like a wizard 🧙‍♂️ Stop acting like bob the builder 👷‍♂️

@AliHabibPPC Bing

bing ads is the most ignored money printer in ecommerce right now 900M+ monthly searches, a user base skewing older and wealthier, and most brands aren't spending a dollar there we made a breakdown doc covering: - the demographic breakdown of bing users and why they spend more - ad copy frameworks built for 55+ high-income buyers - shopping feed setup that actually works on bing - full campaign structure from launch to scale - bidding strategies that take advantage of low competition the platform is wide open. almost nobody is running it properly like + comment "BING" and i'll DM you the doc (follow + RT for priority access)

@MehtabKarta @moseskagan Depends on the city?!

@moseskagan I agree when young this is great, once you have kids though it's stupid, especially if you look like me.

If I were starting as a service business entrepreneur now, I would move to a low cost of living city with good public schools and a very rapidly growing population. Keeping my own costs low would enable me to re-invest in the business. And a rapidly growing population would mean I could grow my business without necessarily having to take market share from competitors.

@ipb_media Call it consumer reviews .org or something

needs to be some sort of baller buster account for customers who commit friendly fraud via chargebacks and other practices. put their face up on a website and an instagram account, along with a database that biz owners can integrate with to block customers via name, email, address, credit card number so they can't purchase from you absolute scum

@girdley @MediaKing I’ve never met a happier archetype than southern business owners making $500k-$1M and very involved with family, active social life, etc

@MediaKing It's also a southern problem in ths US - things are "easy" and people reach a certain level of aspiration and stop pushing. Much different than the coasts.

The Midwest entrepreneur trap: Build a great business. Stay quiet about it. Wonder why it's hard to hire, raise money, attract partners. Nobody cares you if nobody knows you. Being public about MarketBeat's growth changed everything — attention, hiring, deals, inbound, etc.

@Co1eem Lol ridiculous

Came across this VSL. Crazy good. If I was 50+ I’m 1000% falling for this. Give it a watch. evacielle.shop/core-lead1

@oliviercroguy Agreed

Is there an ab testing tool that automatically test new landing page headlines/content and keeps the winner? Without needing to step in and monitor all day And it finds winner, it would automatically create a new ab test Someone build this I will buy

@MediaKing 40 or 36?

Dwell in the land.

@TrafficBrokerX Helllllo ? Mr Traffic how can I assist with your issue today? Yes Mr Traffic. Thank you Mr Traffic

Soul Crushing feeling to wait patiently on hold for a customer service call and then hearing “the wrong voice” on the other end You already know you’re time will be wasted

@MediaKing Any info on how you match a user to an offer? Is it by a specific stock, theme, etc? Automated flows or hammering specific segments with campaigns?

Acquisition strategy should match how many ways you monetize. One product → tight targeting, must break even fast. Many products → broad net, patient with CAC, worth more over time. We have 200+ offers. We can wait. Most publishers can't. That's not a bug — it's the model.

@ENowoslawski @patrickdichter @ohhratssss Way too low vol agreed.

@patrickdichter @ohhratssss Just my 2 cents, that’s just not enough volume to know anything. We start every customer with 200 inboxes. That Andrew guy should be able to help you that already dm’d you.

Fool me three times, can’t get fooled again. We tried cold email marketing again for a 3rd time with zero results. 👍
