$0 → $1M with eCom – Day 1 I’ve tried ecom a few times before when I was younger, all stores ended up flopping. Quit for years, but got back into it last June with a UK beauty store. Ran it for 2 weeks until Meta disabled my ad account over a failed payment on their end. Took ~2 months to get back up and running. During that time, a close friend started dropshipping fashion and doing some great numbers. Low barrier of entry, relatively high upside, I knew I’d dive in as soon as my account was back. A month ago I launched to the French market. Did €8.5k in sales my first month (record day €820) but finished with about a €600 loss after testing and learning from my mistakes. Quickly realized French customers were skeptical and complained a lot. So 3 days ago I decided to pivot to the US. Built and launched an entire new store and ads in 10 hours alongside my 9-5 (worked 22 hours straight that day, lack of sleep fucked me up and zuck was my sleep paralysis demon) First batch of tests didn’t work. Killed them. Uploaded new products yesterday. Woke up this morning hyped to check results and my ad account was disabled due to my account being ‘compromised’ even though i have 2FA. Support says it’ll take 24-48h for review. In the meantime I’m spinning up a new BM and ad account so I can hopefully get back to testing today or tomorrow. Setbacks keep slowing the momentum, but I’m still grateful for the journey and the people I’ve met who’ve helped along the way. I know that with enough consistency I’ll make the US store profitable, then use that cashflow to build a real long-term brand focusing on more problem solving products. To the few who read this, thank you for taking the time to tap in with my journey and i’ll see y’all tomorrow! 🫡 — Honorable mention: Shoutout to @itsliellevin for motivating me to keep going with his daily $0-$1m posts, and for being the inspiration to start posting about my journey in ecom aswell!

@Fadi_Finance @TheSqeakyMouse goodmorning buddy, bad news 😪

@TheSqeakyMouse let's hope it happens overnight while i'm sleeping because I cant stomach another 10% down

The scenario I see playing out for Silver is a quick flush to $69-$70 followed by a v shape recovery. That drop to $70 will put the smi opposite of the levels it was at when Silver hit $120.

@CubeBudgets @DandiG_ 🤝

Anyone have good agency ad accounts they recommend? Spending about 200k/day atm, not looking to top up. Or if anyone has contact to meta insider that can sort a BM for us, would be even better :)

@sgmelin @avrldotdev @xoaanya you dont go to meta and say ‘i’d like to buy customer data’ you use their platform to advertise on and if your selling for example a $50 product with $10 cost of goods, as long as your cost per purchase is under $40 you’re breaking even, if your cost per purchase is $30 u make 10

@chepvt @avrldotdev @xoaanya „How well“, I meant, of course. Everybody says, you are the product. But how can a marketer measure, whether the it’s worth to pay the price for the data?

Interviewer: If apps like Instagram are free, how do they store billions of photos and videos without charging users anything?

@sgmelin @avrldotdev @xoaanya what?

@avrldotdev @xoaanya Is there a reliable number, who well that marketing works?

@BasedBiohacker quaaludes are apparently still being sold illegally in south africa under the brand name mandrax

i don't really do consulting but if you have any of this i will trade you a few days of dedicated time: - sealed bottle of rorer/lemmon-714 quaaludes - the count of monte cristo first edition - the declaration of independence - sealed jack3d original formula - patek philippe grand complication - park avenue pent - shipwreck gold - steinway and sons grand piano dm's are open😂

@LeftTurnMan @LBreitschopf56 it’s so bad i’ve driven a fiat 500 convertible faster than that 😪

@LBreitschopf56 ive driven my 07 v6 charger faster than f1 was running under full throttle by the end of that straight

That’s 96 miles an hour… 96… Not a word about how this is good racing. It’s not. It’s so far from it.

@FultonRecovery_ @saunacr7 @CorpusKazu @nonregemesse @_britmonkey you think someone supposedly born in 1999 was a consultant/recruiter in 2016?

@saunacr7 @CorpusKazu @nonregemesse @_britmonkey what of it

My friend got a Linkedin DM from Bonnie Blue in 2021 when she worked in recruitment

@Camicees what software is this to track spend and other metrics?

UGC is not dead FYI You just bad at it

@sweettkarma @gluke338 @Pinkaliciousgal what’s the growing concern about AI?

@gluke338 @Pinkaliciousgal i think AI is an issue so it’s not a non issue. AI is a growing concern.

The fact that they've replaced Google box definitions with ai makes me so livid like ??? Forcing someone to use to know what the meaning of a word is so insane considering ai is known for making shit up idgaf

@lukasenECOM but as someone else mentioned in comments if you’re at scale just get an agency ad account for peace of mind, i know adrevival is good @DandiG_

@chepvt Currently on the chat with insta support. But now they need url to the profile, but how do I get the url now that its suspended?

What the actual fuck? I started my PC today and was browsing the Ad Library, which seemed a bit bugged when I was searching around. Then I randomly got an email from Facebook saying my profile has been suspended. Now I can’t access Ads Manager to launch new ads. I submitted an appeal where I had to record a video of myself moving my face side to side like I was looking for Mark Zuckerberg. Hopefully the appeal goes in my favor. Has anyone else experienced this?

@lukasenECOM if you’re on the ‘suspended’ page it should give you an option to download your information and it should be there, mine was bugged so the way i got it was by looking in my search history from the times i visited my profile on facebook and copied the url from there

@eakjotsinghnz something to do with the tap water i believe

Why is Netherlands the Dropshipping capital of the world

@ToriiRowe ahhh fuck, in that case i cant think of any other options that’d get your issue resolved in that timeframe, meta support is absolutely terrible

@chepvt Yeah I need this like tomorrow.

@kos_lovro i havent gotten to it myself yet as i get an error saying i reached the ‘support chat limit’, but as far as i know max’ ig wasn’t connected to the fb account, they only shared the same email address (they did ask for the FB name regardless)

@chepvt IG was not connected to that facebook page? so basically random IG page and you asked them to unban your facebook profile?

Anyone have good meta rep? Mine is not answering

@ToriiRowe pay for an unban, or you could fight meta’s decision in small claims court as far as i know (or if you’re in europe you can file a dispute with an appeal centre)

@ToriiRowe yeah i’ve tried making new accounts in the past but unfortunately those get instantly blocked, there’s services for it but afaik they charge $2k+ and have a high TAT atm as this is quite a widespread issue i think if meta reps cant fix it either your last resort would be to

@ToriiRowe buy a meta verified subscription on instagram, use the contact support option and just explain what happened, they should be able to reinstate your account (it’s already worked for other people)

@chepvt Yes.

@kos_lovro try this brother, im currently trying the same: x.com/maxfreeman772/…

@chepvt both
