@JustenEcom Shopify is all about making e‑com simple and scalable.

Shopify isn’t just another platform. It removes tech headaches (hosting, security, payments, scaling) so you can go from idea to real store fast. If you want out of the 9–5 and into your own online income stream, Shopify is one of the fastest paths.

@gazzceee It’s all about persistence and testing.

If you’re new to ecom or starting a new store and things havn’t been working out. There’s only one mentality you need to have. Everything will work out if you keep going till you find a creative that hits. Getting to a 10k day is literally just a matter of having 1 or 2 winning ads. Proper winners though

@JakeBrown_Ecom always look deeper

One bad day doesn’t mean your product is dead. It usually means you don’t understand variance yet. Ads fluctuate, that’s part of the game. Killing campaigns too early resets your learning every time. Zoom out and look at trends, not emotions. Impatience kills more profits than bad ads.

@Stoic_Ecom Gold mining.

💡Ecom tip. Your best customers tell you exactly how to sell. Look at your reviews, comments, and messages. The way they describe the product is usually better than your copy.

@Sebastianb0527 Money goes, where the focus goes.

You have such a competitive advantage if you focusing on brining one extremely high quality product and experience to customers, rather than running a bunch of mid drop shipping stores.

@ecom_lukas Happy scaling, bro

Starting a brand from scratch is fun First batch of inventory came and packaged them up and shipped them out today Another 1000 on the way and about sold out of those Ordering another 1000 and dropping new SKU soon Can start to scale a little bit once more stock comes. Still around $200 spend per day Making some video and founder ads and launching those soon too Viva la ecom

@bony_ghadiya_ Not even in my wildest dreams.

y'all really out here tryna scale with a busted backend. that's exactly why most of you stay broke. cranking up ad spend while your fulfillment is cooked? bro.

@FinalPSD Not perfect, but way ahead operationally.

@ecommilan can’t lie chinese suppliers be really dumb lol

Chinese ecom sellers ship tens of thousands of orders a day with systems most Western brands have never even heard of. Meanwhile, the average DTC founder is managing fulfillment through Slack messages and a shared Google Sheet.

@teachingsX Supplements often promise multiples, but only the strong brands get there. Most are short-term, high-CPM, high-risk flips.

Supplements feel like such a bloated Ecom niche to get in to… Too many headaches for me personally I get the whole “consumer product brands are going to crush it and get great multiples” over the next 5 years But I personally do not operate well in high CPM environments (I know, I know… skill issue 🥲) I operate really well in environments where the product can be purchased by everyone and anyone Rapid fire “buy my shit” that works at scale Our US CPMs the past few months are like $5-6 lol Plus, honestly I feel like most of the people on here that rave about supplements are secretly just running low effort, skill-less, kalodata rips I want nothing to do with that at this point Maybe if I was broke and 18 again, then fuck yeah, but not now I feel like only a few on here have a really great and strong consumable brand Although, I will not lie… I did try to run 2-3 supplements with Kalo rips around a year ago 😭 I got hit with: > constant ad rejections > $100+ CPMs (even though all the other metrics looked fan-fucking-tastic) > honestly that’s it… 🤔 (maybe it wasn’t THAT bad) Part of the reason might be that I don’t buy supplements myself besides creatine and the usuals I’m just not of that customer base Whereas everything else I’ve sold and done 7+ figs with was something that I was a customer for previously (with very few exceptions) Another big turn off is all the fkn Miami larpers raving about kalodata rip supplements and cloaking ads Makes it feel wrong But yeah if I was dead broke, 18 years old and had effectively no skills, I’d probably try harder to run those kalo rips up No hate towards anyone at all, get to your bag lil bro

@thedennis But what if you don't?

"But what if I fail?" I launched an ad that got 0.3% CTR. Failed. I wrote a hook that got zero clicks. Failed. I tested an offer that lost money. Failed. I scaled too fast and tanked ROAS. Failed. And here's what I learned: - Failure is data - Data builds pattern recognition - Pattern recognition builds intuition - Intuition builds speed The best part? I was always glad I shipped.

@ecomchigga Powerful combo!

Pattern recognition + not giving a fuck is the highest form of intelligence

@bruno_dl Data whispers. Listen carefully.

A pet brand came to me doing $200K/month. 6 months of changes. Zero real growth. Why? They were testing random elements without understanding why their customers were actually buying. Every test was a gamble. We listened to the data. Added $13K/month in 30 days.

@HamptonAc_ 'Realistic' is a vague term.

The people telling you to "be realistic" are just describing their own limitations. Their ceiling became their worldview. And now they're trying to install it in your head too. Realistic is just another word for "what's been done before." Everything that exists now was unrealistic before someone did it anyway

@andrejtumo Funny how ‘steal’ beats 'cheap', right?

Uncomfortable truth about e-commerce: → Standard pricing kills cold traffic conversion. • €50 product = "Is this worth it?" • €150 bundle (€300 value) = "This is a steal" Perceived value > price. I've proven this with €50M+ in e-commerce revenue.

@ecomTrevor Knowledge without execution is just decoration.

Some people will learn dropshipping for years and never start a store. Some people will learn Google ads for years and never run a single dollar in ads. Some people will learn trading for years and never place a single trade. Lesson? Your knowledge is worthless if you don't actually utilize it. The person messing up, screwing up, being unprofitable is going to win than the person over analyzing and taking zero action. Simple.

@vincent_alonzi Simple as 1-2-3.

Ecom creates the cash Crypto multiplies it Real estate locks it in Create. Multiply. Preserve.

@zenvoris Exactly!

@ecommilan Milk is sold at every grocery store in the world

You're selling the exact same product as 200 other Shopify stores. Think about that.

@DeeDav_ Well said!

@ecommilan Then you’re not in the product business,. you’re in the differentiation game.

@lukeunreleased Easy way out.

@ecommilan And 199 of them will blame the product when it fails.

@aporiabuilds In a crowded market, operational excellence is what turns differentiation into profit.

@ecommilan Its 1vsAll
