We purchased our latest e-com acquisition for $23,000. In its first full month under our control, it's on track to make ~$960 in profit. If we didn't reinvest everything back into the biz to grow it, we'd have an annual cap rate of ~50%. Here's what we did... 👇

@JoelGray__ @alexraggy_ It’s a good book tbf. Slightly preferred Billion Dollar Whale but was still a good ride. Odd that you posted this to a text based platform to mock someone reading but there we are. Safe journey home. Enjoy your tweet.

Had a conversation with a potential client today, they asked where all their traffic had gone We looked into it for them.. Turns out their ‘cheap’ Web agency didn’t redirect the www to non www and also deleted a lot of high ranking pages. Cheap WP agencies = Expensive mistake

Recently took on an SEO client & their website is trash. Happens too often. Some dev put in random bits of code, injecting css etc Now google doesn’t recognise an LCP in page speed 🫣 Needless to say their traffic TANKED. Now we’re tasking with fixing it… WP DEVS HIT MY DMs!

Sometime last year our ads were doing well, but they could’ve been better. Clients were giving us creative and it wasn’t great. It was good, it got the job done. It just wasn’t stand out. This was the easiest leverage point we had in our whole funnel. Here’s what we did 🧵

My biggest realisation when hiring talent was reading Reed Hastings. If you want to build Netflix, you’re building an elite team. Outside of paying good wages and searching for A players - the Keeper Test. Would you fight to keep that employee? If not… Maybe time to rehire.
