How have dropshippers not figured this out yet? If you sell a product someone is already scaling, YOU WON'T SUCCEED You're fighting for crumbs, sell a product with a NEW unique selling point that solves the same problem.

1. Hired a Full Time Creative Director 📈 He streamlines my marketing process by conceptualizing ads, managing video editors & graphic designers, and organizing our organic content. If you are serious about building an 8 figure brand you can't do it alone.

ROI isn't just about money. Your time is invaluable. Automate where you can – Conceptualizing ads (GPT), ad script writing (VA + GPT), and Ai Voiceovers (VA). The more you automate, the more you can focus on growth strategies.

Staring at metrics, isn't going to tell you why your ad isn't working. Find similarities in failed & winning ads: - messaging - visuals - creators - setting

"What's your campaign strategy??" doesn't matter. Product, offer and creative. If those 3 are on point, it will get sales no matter what campaign strat you use. I use fully broad, no targeting, single scaling CBO.

You see the clip of @MrBeast saying YouTube intros w/ dimmer lighting perform worse?! 👉We tested this theory on my beauty brand! 🧪Comparison: indoor lighting vs bright natural lighting ✅He was right. Regardless of mid-day lighting or golden hour > OUTDOOR performed better!

If you're selling a couples gifting product... use a hot female UGC creator, regardless of whose receiving the gift. fine women, get women and men's attention.

3. Product Drops 🔥 Product Drops are an EASY way to add an extra 5-6 figures of PROFIT to your pocket. I have several new variants in production and ready to drop during Q4. Make sure to hype the product drops with emails, sms, and paid ads!

I exponentially scaled my business when I realized: My team was a reflection of me... I had weak management, weak training, weak teamwork, lack of care If you're not on top of your shit, your team won't be.

@sebesqueda OPAL has been a game changer for me this year. I wanted to limit my phone usage in & outside of work. It forces my daily app usage & locks them until the next day. No bypasses

Do you think organic reach on social media is still impactful for e-commerce, or are paid ads the only way to truly scale?

2. Increase Creative Output 🧪 Since Q3 has started we have tripled our creative testing. You want to stack as many winning ads as possible BEFORE going into Q4. I will hire an additional video editor going into Q4 to make countless iterations of our winning ads.

Headline testing is a game changer! Even a slight tweak can elevate click-through rates. If you're not using Dynamic Ad testing... why not?

What was the first product you ever profited with in ecom? I was scaling a mini neck massager until @cbassg16 made a YT video about it and killed my profits.

"I can't find a winning product" 1. You're a crybaby pussy, that wants a million dollar product to fall in your lap after 2 days of research. 2. Go on a Alibaba and SCOUR. Go through company profiles, tradeshows, manufacturers, and click every fuckin button there is to press

No one can tell you what’s wrong with your store with metrics alone. E-commerce is mostly intuition and psychology. Please stop sending me your FB or store metrics and thinking I can fix your shit 🙏

👀In e-commerce, not every trend is your friend. Stay informed, but always align strategies with your brand and audience. **My beauty brand posted memes on IG when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock.... Apparently more women were on Will Smith's side > who wuda known
