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... 👇

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
We just got an Airtable wizard to overhaul all of our project and task management...
It's probably the best few thousand dollars we've ever spent - so much automation.🙏
What's the best investment you've made in your business?
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 🧵
Congrats to all the amazing women making their mark on the marketing scene! 🙌 Let's keep celebrating & inspiring each other to reach our goals!

Thanks for the love on yesterday’s tweet - I’ve been deciding whether to come back to X or not.
I have a lot of projects running but I believe documenting the journey is important.
Following people that were documenting is how I started 10-15 years ago…

The piece of business advice Alex Hormozi taught that I’m keeping in mind this week:
“Being able to accurately find what the problem is and effectively allocate resources is going to make you a lot of money”
What’s your favourite business philosophy?
If you have under 2,000 followers - this tweet is for you.
What are your goals on X? 🎯
Building network? Selling products? Learning from others?

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.
Remember when penguin, panda & rankbrain launch and SEO died?
Remember when SEO died when featured snippets came out?
Remember the funeral we had for SEO when HCU happened?

Alright, I’m looking for some weekend reading…
Tell me the best marketing/psychology facts, figures etc.
E.g
Comparison sites artificially inflate their ‘search’ time so you feel like they really went through effort scouring the web.
What have you got? 👇
I built a GPT that will help you nail down 20+ pieces of content for your website or business in minutes.
Would love your feedback on it and maybe a review if you liked it 😉
It's kind of wild that Google, who spent so long pushing for authorities to speak on subjects in order to rank (EEAT) are now going to let their AI give you answers for all manner of questions...
I'm looking for a Shopify Dev. Happy to work with an agency.
It's for a very small, finite scope of work. But will likely use the person/agency for the bigger projects as they come.
Who are you recommending?👇
Pepsi.
Self-aware or head in the clouds?

we're taking a look at one of their best campaigns and one of their.... not so best campaigns...
Featuring a star studded lineup, let's get started!
🧵
Create an action plan and work on it consistently. Work out where you want to be in 5 years. Work back to what needs to be done each year, each month, each week and each day.
The more you break down the big tasks the more successful you'll be.
Embrace the journey and adjust your goals as needed.
Not everything will go to plan... That's fine.
Adjust and reassess your goals and progress to factor in huge wins or losses that steer you off course.
I'd love to know how many Aeropresses got sold after people read the soliloquy in
@awilkinson
's book...
But I'd rather know if they'll ever do a non-plastic version. (Aeropress Premium never came out)
Love mine but hate pouring boiling water in plastic 🙄
This week our agency lost 4 clients.
1 - Our decision.
2 - Acquired.
3 - Cancelled the retainer at 4x roas
4 - Company didn't get funded and closing shop
Overall, we lost $6-7k in MRR.
So, here's Day 1 of building back up and hitting $50k MRR. Plus, daily updates on what I do!
Gonna drop a fire Month 2 update for the site we acquired….
But first, I’m getting married this weekend.

Glad Dennis chimed in and agree with OP about this tweet being bad.
A high cashflow business with a large SDE will naturally fetch a higher multiple. Especially if it’s an actual business and not a duck taped $100k pm Ecom store.
The tweet got engagement tho so what do facts
Would you rather own:
a biz that makes $1m per year (profit) but you work 70hr weeks
Or
A biz that makes 200k per year (profit) but you only work 10hr weeks
@estherziw
Honestly, don’t invest than more than 1-2 mentors before 10k pm. The leaked before that number are easy enough to plug and they’ll likely tell you the same stuff to work on…

But if you zoom out... it kinda is.
6:1 increase of quality of life since 1930s.
Most people can drink tap water now without dying from typhoid or cholera.
Child mortality rates continue to drop.

When I reply to a cold DM and the person can’t close/sell….
I feel so bad.
How are you eating?! 😭
Don’t scale your campaigns unless you’re learning to close leads
Had a great call with a biz for hiring/training sales staff for our agency…
Here’s why I’ll never sign with them.
Had a phone call, good pitch, solid offer.
He sent over a formal offer email - I didn’t reply. Then I got curious…
So I never replied.
4 weeks have gone by,
Has anyone else bought domains via
@rsinstantly
?
Tried it with 2 alias x 2 domains and after a few weeks warm up, they've stopped sending.
Support say they've reached daily limit (but they were sending ~30 a day)
All accounts we set up ourselves are still going strong...👀
As Andrew decided to block me, rather than observe his hypocrisy, a recap:
Andrew said "The people getting actual results aren't sharing a thing...including myself"
Andrew sells a course on how to get SEO leads.
Andrew sells a book on doing Digital PR (1star on Amazon FYI)

@StockMKTNewz
Because most people aren’t operating with a multibillion dollar float, or focusing only on increasing intrinsic value.
Most people want % gains.
Alright Twitter, I need advice.
It might be over with me and Instantly…
They were the Goat, now they’re just a sheep with weird horns.

You can DM me, I have a blue tick so maybe you can trust me about as much as Sweaty… But I’ll take a look and set you on the right track free of charge 🤝
SEO has drained me.
Being active on social media in this industry is crazy.
I miss the sense of humour.
I miss the fun.
Everything now is about ego.
Or who has the most money.
It’s a facade.
I’ve seen behind the curtain of this game.
And it’s not pretty.

Honestly, this whole Dior bag price thing is nuts.
If you really thought it cost $100s to make the bag, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
It’s a luxury brand.
They’re selling aspiration, not products.
@Zooglymedia
A year or two ago I predicted Google would lose >25% of its market share of search. I thought to TikTok but now it might even be to Bing 😂
The Google "Quick View" Recipes is just another example of big G taking other people's content to increase their user experience...
BUT, as much as I hate Google. It's also Marketer's fault.
How many recipes do you see hidden behind video ads, CLS ads, and irrelevant content

From his name alone I was expecting him to be 2x as good as

I wasn't disappointed.
Granted, he had a lot of info from my onboarding form.
But he tore through my daily routine, life and goals like a hot knife through
