@Tim_Denning why does it always have to be an ultimatum just travel between two places & you got the benefits of both

Living in Bali sounds incredible. But if your family is in New York, then you're stuck in a foreign country without your loved ones. That sounds like a huge tragedy to a rational person. Family is more important than a temporary paradise that likely ends in extreme loneliness. Be careful what you optimize for. You might be choosing unhappiness.

@Seanfrank product + community

Marketing is the moat.

@Sebastianb0527 check & verify your retention before you rack up MRR at a 0.7 NCROAS

What’s the best advice you can give for DTC supplement brands?

offer + audience if you‘re selling trend-based fashion - your creative load is usually higher if you‘re selling a problem-solver with a mini-VSL > advertorial funnel, you might spend more time on producing a couple quality bangers instead of focussing on masses quality will always be the first sacrifice if you increase creative testing load everyone can pump out hundreds of shitty ads with AI rn - so quality is still the main point that differentiates you from the test

question for media buyers ripping 100k+/mo is 100 new creatives a week too much or too little for finding winners if your winning creative % is around 15-20%

@econosopher @sethfowIer it‘s not 0%, but its close

@sethfowIer Do you like 0% dividend tax?

Is moving to Cyprus the play?

@sethfowIer been living there for the past 5 years if you prefer it calm, its the best spot best if you travel a lot

@ecomhitman Google sheets nothing comes close

Ecom guys only. What do you use to track real time profits? (TrueProfit…)

@suge_ecom ironically, the biggest projects I ran were the ones where I had 100% ownership too thought I needed a biz partner for ecom brands, but its just an excuse to give away ownership & responsibility

I’ve been in two partnered ecom businesses—and honestly, neither was right for me. Grateful for the experience, but I know I’ll perform at my highest when I’m fully in control. Today I start my own brand. 100% equity. 100% on me. Watch me build this. Follow the journey 🚀

@MrMekzy_ klarna

Name a huge scam.

the most braindead thing is throwing thousands of $$$ in custom stock for a product that doesn‘t even have a proof of concept there‘s literally no upside you can launch any imaginary product with AI in a few days test it as a pre-sale or just refund after & start your production once enough orders piled up control your risk

@iiiitsandrea eating right before sleep = decrease in sleep performance counterproductive product that tries to work against basic biological principles

they are making ice cream for sleep…

@omooretweets yeah lets just waste a couple months to test a new idea instead of getting a valid reply in days

In consumer, paid ads generally = lack of true product market fit I have yet to see a generational startup with largely paid ad-driven growth…

analyzing random business models is probably one of the best ways to get better at making money because it forces you to see what’s actually happening behind the scenes so many “boring” businesses are one good positioning angle + better logistics + better distribution away from printing most people ignore them because they keep looking for some crazy genius untapped idea instead of taking a simple business, making it look better and selling it harder than the last guy

@Sebastianb0527 you can even cut the graphic designer + 1x CS rep would even argue to cut the creative strategist if you‘re strong at scripting ads by yourself

You can scale to 1M/Pm consistently with just this team: 1 x Video Editor 1 x Graphic Designer 1 x Creative Strategist 2 x VAs/CS reps 1 x Email-Sms Agency 1 x Google agency

@suge_ecom which platform are you looking for? in case its Meta - try Upwork or Indeed

I need a fast media buyer for my brand scaling at 15k/day. Where do you guys find the best media buyers.

spending millions on Meta gave me an unfair advantage on Google 95% of Google media buyers only know: → search → PMax → Shopping they have no idea how to run Demand Gen no video strategy no static ads no creative testing I came from Meta where that's all you do so I run Google like single-platform media buyers can't that's the edge not some fancy campaign setup

@drewfallon12 never let em know your next move

take my money

@HenryCrochemore they‘re buying everything from aliexpress directly or have russian equivalents like Wildberries or Ozon. super hard to advertise there from the outside as well

if you ever worry about your shipping times - try to order something from yeezy ordered in October, got some stuff in December 5 months since I ordered & i got 2 out of 8 products lol probably used epacket years ago for a couple customers & that‘s the payback now

hire people that are challenging your approaches in a good way means bringing up strong arguments on why the stuff you‘re currently doing is bs & you have to evolve that‘s when biz becomes fun
