Quoted $8,000 to fix the suspension on my jeep.
Will never understand how I can put so much effort into life and continue to take massive L’s in every facet.
It never ends. When does Goldfinch get a W?

Yesterday was the best day I’ve had in a long long time.
- Best day of Ecom so far
- Great first date with a girl that’s way out of my league
Vibes are UP.
Anyone have advice for what to do when you literally have nothing to do at your W2?
Have already asked for more work several times.
Can’t work on own biz because boss sits right behind me….
HELP
LinkedIn is such a corporate circle-jerk it’s pretty much rendered useless.
Everyone copy and pasting the same words, commenting “well said!” On each others posts.
Lame.
Told my girl she should be using wrist straps on back day.
She says “You just saw that on tik tok”
Well no, I actually got it from a Cartoon Ox on Twitter.
@BowTiedOx
Trust.
I need to get back on the workhorse. Been slacking lately.
Quickly realizing it is difficult to excel/improve at:
- Lifting
- Running
- Golfing
- Social Life
- Online Biz
All at the same time....
Some of the sales numbers certain products are doing on Tik Tok are just mind-numbing.
I’ll use a fellow Jungle product as an example:
NOBs is CRUSHING it (you can do the math), and there’s a handful of other products that absolutely dwarf these numbers.
Are any of the "newer" members of The Jungle working on Ecom interested in starting a group chat or X Community?
Think it would be helpful for all of us to learn together.

Thoughts?
And anyone else of course.
Why do job apps have so many questions?
"Do you love this shit?"
"Are you high right now?"
"Do you ever get nervous?"
Seriously, isn't that what the interview is for... Just a resume should be enough.
Every day I see new X accounts of kids with:
“Multiple 7 figure Econ exits”
“Scaled my agency to 5mm MRR”
“Ecom multimillionaire by 20”
In their bios.
What percentage of these people are liars you think?
Kinda funny - if you’re on X long enough
You can literally watch grifters change their offer over time to match the trends.
Yet they somehow “quit everything 5 years ago and went all in” on each one.

One big marketing lesson I've learned while creating my product is that it honestly has so many use cases, but you can't sell it that way...

B4 V1 packets in preparation for V2 delivery.
On that note, I figured I should give my review of V1 so I can compare directly with V2.
I took my packets for various occasions, but all were social events:

I can't overstate how much I love working with people who just tell you exactly what you'll recieve and how much it costs.
No discovery calls, no negotiating tiny details, etc.
Just Do-er's.

“Master one traffic source before you market elsewhere”
But how do you know which traffic source is best for you?
Here’s how I’m attacking that question: 👇
I’ve said this multiple times before
But when I started selling my product
I thought I’d just turn on Meta Ads and the
One major realization you'll have once you start:
You learn 10x more 10x faster when doing the work and failing...
Instead of watching Youtube videos and listening to podcasts about "overnight successes".
One of the largest lessons I've learned early on in starting Ecom:
Having to go back and re-do stuff or fix it is a giant PITA and mildly depressing.
Do it right the first time. No shortcuts.
Anyone in the Jungle have experience with getting a WordPress blog up and running?
Will attempt by myself first, but would like some resources to lean on if I get stuck...
When I first created my my amazon product. I tested the market before i fully committed.
I used 3x5 index cards to print labels on my home b&w laser printed.
I used 4 millimeter thick poly bags.
I made 25 units and sent them in.
It looked bad.....but they sold.

Production manager today when asking me to come in this weekend to help get one more (albeit large) order on the books before the end of the year:
"Aren't you a team player?"
I laughed out loud.
Anyone have experience with podcast advertising?
Reached out to one I thought would be a good fit for my product, and their prices seem really high to me...
“So how do you formulate a supplement made solely for calming, anti-anxiety, and mood-boost?”
Well, here’s how I formulated mine, which is called Mend - For Hangxiety
First off, I would like to stress that I formulated Mend not only as an all-purpose calming and relaxation
Need to get better at seeing product trends when they’re unfolding, and work on capitalizing on them.
For example:
- I bought the very first iterations of “yeti” tumblers and coolers probably 9 years ago at Walmart. Didn’t realize how much it would scale over a decade.
-
After spinning up a product and a store, the next natural step was marketing.
(Should have started that ahead of time...)
This has been my biggest challenge thus far, and here are the main struggles with marketing my hangxiety relief product:
🧵👇
I'm in several Tik Tok Discords to try and find affiliates for my product, and one really cool thing is seeing so many young guys making money and putting effort into worthwhile things.
Not every Gen Z'er is a couch potato gamer.
Found some competitors at the grocery store today.
Of course I already knew this (previous competitor research), but checked again and yes their formula is inferior.
Dumbest things I did before ordering inventory:
- Not building up an audience/demand first
- Not testing demand (didn't know how)
Smartest thing I did before ordering inventory:
- Requesting blank bottles and applying labels myself, allowing me to test diff angles/packaging.
So many absurd health claims on X lately.
Plenty of others thinking they need to disprove them.
All you “Well ackshully…” people would have an absolute aneurysm if you logged onto TikTok.
It’s 100 orders of magnitude worse.
The sheer mass of a digital footprint you make by starting an online biz is insane 😂
Tons of emails, logins, websites, this, that, and the other.
Kind of crazy.
Since then, I’ve realized it’s 10000x more work than just sourcing product and running ads.
And I’m still building every day. I haven’t found much success yet (About $1,000 in revenue), but I also haven’t quit.
Even if I’ve wanted to.
Can't list on Google...
Can't list on Facebook...
Can't list on Tik Tok...
Yet all I see on all of these platforms is supplements.
At what point can a guy get a fucking win.
SOLD OUT
Wow after a chaotic and amazing last few weeks, I just had to clear out my personal stash to fulfill todays orders 😞
Unfortunately we are at least a month out from getting it back in stock.
We have about 10 units remaining on Amazon👇so restock now if you need it.
Just ordered my Mother's Day gift!

@bowtiedvampdeer
When I started I thought you legit just pick a product and turn on Facebook Ads and chill 😂
Not the case at all. Not even remotely the case.
I can't sleep without a fan in the background, so I just leave the fan on 24/7.
I also work in my bedroom.
Just realized the fan has been a giant distraction while working. Much more efficient when it's off.
@BowTiedStealth
I would highly recommend Dall-E over MidJourney. Have used both.
I can also happily give you a rundown on either one. Not an expert but have used them a good amount.
Let me know!
1 down, 59 to go.
Will be trying a bunch of different content styles, hooks, etc.
Going for more content catered to views and followers rather than just than just trying to sell every video like I was doing.
Something’s gotta work.
I know most of The Jungle speaks negatively on drinking, which is fine.
BUT...
If any of y'all do enjoy drinking, hit my DM's.
I might have something for you.

I don’t know much about either of them beyond twitter, and both are much more successful than myself, but I will say this:
It seems like Petey lacks wisdom on choosing his enemies.

Excited to try it B4 my W-2 Christmas party, in hopes that I don’t have to get drunk and make a fool out of myself in order to have a good time.
Anyone know of a discord channel with people looking for affiliate opportunities for TikTok?
Would like to be fishing in a hungry pond rather than spamming invites on Shop Affiliate Center.
