I helped @karlocreates blow up his account. While attracting 100s of potential customers for his course. (without using paid RTs) Here's how I helped him gain 750 followers and revive his account in less than 60 days:

The most underrated skill in ecom: Knowing when to leave your shit alone. Most stores fail because they can't stop fucking with their ad account. These mfers don't realise that with every tweak Meta starts over. Let it marinate for a bit. Run them for 5-7 days untouched. That's when you actually see which creatives are breaking into new audiences, what metrics should be optimised, etc. You can't see any of this if you're in there every 12 hours changing bids and swapping creatives. Build a system that doesn't need you micromanaging it. The brands that scale hard asf aren't the ones tweaking constantly. They set it up right and let it breathe.

@eriknatsar Real asf

Mfers will do product research like it's 2022 and wonder why their brand died. Cmon bro. You’ll spend 6 months “finding the perfect product” and never launch anything. Meanwhile, system-driven people will launch with average products and print money because they built everything else correctly. I’ve watched this pattern repeat for 3 years now. Someone will find an objectively better product. Better materials, better price point, better positioning on paper. Then they’ll build a shitty Shopify store, run generic ads, have zero retention mechanics, and fail in 8 weeks. “The product wasn’t good enough.” Stfu bro. Your system was just trash asf. The product doesn’t matter nearly as much as what you build around it. - Clear ICP - Consistent branding - Proper offer structure - Creative system that’s repeatable - Retention built from day one That’s what actually matters. Product research will take one afternoon with AI analyzing competitors and market gaps. Building the system will take actual thinking. Most people will skip the thinking part and wonder why “winning products” don’t work for them. Because they skipped the work that makes products work.

POV: getting into creating ads while it's still unsaturated. (you've already missed Bitcoin 2017 bro)

@ecom_rickx This the way.

Stop looking at campaign-level data and making decisions. You're killing campaigns that might have winners buried inside. Check your ads individually. Creative 1 might be bleeding €50 with shit metrics. But creative 2 has a 65 cent CPC with 8 checkouts initiated. You'll never see it if you're only staring at the CBO showing 1.2 ROAS. When you spot a creative with decent signals, isolate it. Duplicate the campaign--> Same post ID-->Remove the losers-->Let the winner breathe. Most "losing products" aren't actually losing. You're just drowning the signal in noise.

@ecomtalent Only one in the game.

Getting paid based on how hard you work is the biggest lie ever sold to our generation. Work more hours-->Make more money. Work less-->Make less. The ceiling is always right there no matter how hard you grind. This is the reality for 99% of freelancers. And they have no clue how trapped they are. The people actually winning online figured out a different model completely. No hourly rate. No flat fee. No ceiling. You get paid based on performance. If your ad makes a brand money → you get a percentage of the revenue. If the ad scales hard → so does your paycheck. If it keeps running → you keep getting paid. Every single month. That's the model we built inside ecomtalent. We call it Ad Bounties. Here's exactly how it works: → You get product info and content from the brand → You create ads → The brand tests them with their own money - zero risk on your end → If your ad performs, you earn a percentage of every sale it drives → Not once. Continuously, for as long as that ad runs. I built this because I looked around and nobody had done it before. No other program. No other coach. No other community. Nobody was connecting real brands with developing talent and paying them based on performance. So I built it myself. One winning ad can change everything. We have people inside ecomtalent who've generated over 7 figures for brands in less than 4 months. Imagine what they took home from that👀. You can't make money online without first learning how to make money for someone else. Everyone wants to launch their own brand or agency from day one. But most people don't have a skill that actually produces revenue yet. Ad Bounties fix that. Learn the skill → Make bounties → Get winning ads → Build case studies → Land high paying clients → Stack passive income month after month. It's a no-brainer at this point. The only thing that's not guaranteed is whether you'll be one of them. Most people will read this, think "that's actually interesting" and go back to whatever they were doing before. And a year from now they'll be in the exact same spot, watching other people win with the same opportunity they scrolled past. The window is open right now. It won't be this easy forever. Your move.

@GlennNieuwenh Underrated advice

Your Trustpilot score is trash because you're asking for reviews wrong. Here's what we do instead: Send customers an email with 5 stars they can click. 1-3 stars → Google form for private feedback 4-5 stars → Direct to Trustpilot Add this: Everyone who leaves feedback enters to win their order refunded. What this does: Filters out angry customers before they trash your public reviews. Gets you actual feedback you can fix. Only happy customers end up on Trustpilot. Most stores just spam "leave us a review" and wonder why they have 2-star ratings tanking their conversion rate. Very simple ecom hack.

@ecom_rickx Lmaooo too real

When you check your ad account at 2am and see 0.4 ROAS on €300 spend.

@ecom_rickx W

Your cash flow will kill you before bad ads do. Let's say you're doing €8K days. Good shit. But you're spending €2K on ads + €2.5K paying suppliers upfront daily. That's €4.5K burned just to stay alive. You have €10K in the bank with 5-day payouts. Do the math. You're out of money in 2 days. Then Shopify sees you hit €4K days on a fresh store → payment hold. Now your cash flow goes negative and you're done. I see this every week lately. People scale to €20K days with €15K in the bank and no idea where their money actually is. Track everything: - Bank balance - Shopify balance - PayPal balance - Rolling reserves - Open invoices You need to know your exact runway. Don't scale to €20K days in week 1 on Shopify Payments. You'll get hold or banned. Increase 20% per week. Stay around €4K until your account ages. Slow money beats no money.

@ecomtalent Tell em

@GlennNieuwenh Real asf

Most ecom 'brands' are an absolute joke. They're just stores running ads, nothing more. It's almost disrespect to the people running actual brands. These mfers think a brand is just a cool logo, a website, and some aesthetic colours. But a real brand goes far beyond that. A real brand is about the relationship you build with your customer. It is the story, the trust, and the emotions people attach to your product. Customers don’t just come back when they need something, they come back because they feel connected to what you stand for. And that connection is exactly what turns buyers into fans. Fans who promote your product without being asked. That's the main difference between an actual brand and a store. Stores will make you short-term money. Brands will completely change your life. Keep that in mind.

@ecomtalent Few.

With patience and hard work, it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to lose inside ecomtalent.

How it feels to run a solo ecom brand 100% with AI:

@ecom_rickx Tell em.

I ignored proper data tracking during my first few months in ecom. Biggest mistake I made early on. Because this is literally the difference between scaling and staying stuck. Look at any store doing numbers consistently. They all have one thing in common: They actually know what tf is going on. Once I fixed my data tracking, everything changed. I track everything obsessively now. Every dollar, every click, every customer. That's how you move fast and scale faster. I'm doing consistent $45K days now. And data is one of, if not the biggest, factor behind those numbers. But most people would rather keep gambling and blame "the algorithm" when they fail. NGMI energy. Fix your data bro.

@GenesisOperator Tell em G

"Can AI really build a brand?" Wrong question. The right question: "Can you build a system that AI can execute?" If yes → AI is immaculate. If no → AI exposes that you have no idea what you're doing. Most people asking the first question fall into the second category.

@eriknatsar All day.

@ecom_rickx W sauce

Generating consistent $30K+/days this Q1 with fashion dropshipping. Don't wanna gatekeep my methods anymore. So I broke down EXACTLY how you can scale from $0-->30K/days consistently. Product research, AOV optimization, everything. Go check it out. Link in comments.

@GenesisOperator This’ll become the new norm.

Ecom founders with 10-person teams watching one guy with AI outscale them.
