I just got off a call with a woman who has a Shopify app that came to my workshop at . I asked why she thought she was experiencing a noticeable shift in her success in the App Store. She said she started implementing the ideas in my talk. I started crying.
@ahimsa36
It was so clear to the 1s that know about this & undetectable to the innocent police officers that had no idea what to look for. His word salad during their convos, her blaming herself, uncontrollable crying & body language, & his super calm demeanor were all signs.
The time is always now to grow your

store. That is why The App Collective invited experts from 29 Shopify apps to share the best strategies to take your business to the next level this holiday season and into 2022 in a 58 page ebook titled, Hot-Takes! Featuring ...🧵
I have something really exciting to share with you all.
You're hearing it here first.
I will be speaking at the Shopify conference June 25th in Toronto!
Hope to see you all there.

It’s like saying you’re not gonna tip a waiter when you go to a restaurant cause you had bad service at a busy restaurant on a Friday night 2 years ago.
Hey restaurants in Miami, Austin, LA, Toronto, Kansas City, Denver, Orange County, Atlanta, Bergen County NJ, Corvallis, San Diego + Chicago ----> my client has offered to pay for his employee's lunches M-F.
Hit me up, we want to support your establishment!!!
PSA: please for the love of humanity stop recommending Shopify apps you’ve never used only because they are popular.
Also, if you have a vested interest in the app, please disclose that when you recommend it.
You are ready to grow your eCommerce store on
@Shopify
but confused by the myriad of options available. Do you leave with random apps that might not help? 👀
We have heard this story far too many times to count from merchants just like you.
Introducing The App Collective...🧵⬇️
Colleague: I like working from home because it allows me freedom to do things I want to do.
Me: I like working from home cuz I don't have to smell things that offend me and hear fake nails typing while I'm trying to concentrate.
We all want certain freedoms in life.
What a week! My heart is so full. When people ask me what is the most compelling aspect of
#ShopifyUnite
, the answer is simple: the people/the community. It’s why I’ve been to every single one. Thanks for another year.
🎉Personal news 🎉 I can now run 🏃♀️ for several minutes without feeling like I am going to die. It actually feels great. I'm not pushing it and I'm not running straight through but I am running and I now experience what this whole thing called a runners high is.
Content creation is fun.
Content creation is time consuming.
Content creation is not as easy as it might seem.
Content creation is the *one* marketing strategy that has stood the test of time and will stand the test of time.
The man that made me fall in love with Shopify showing support during my talk at Shopify Editions 10 years later. I could literally cry 😭 thinking about this moment in retrospect now.
@cargix1
I am shaking and excited for all of the changes in the Shopify App Store. As I dig deeper, I discover more and more. I'm blown away at the job the team did on this. If you are on the
@ShopifyDevs
app's team, thank you. Your hard work is noticed and appreciated.
Hi Twitter friends! It's been a while. 🤠
I am looking to bring on a couple of Shopify apps that are interested in my marketing & operations expertise as I have some openings coming up soon!
Caveat: I will not take on brand new apps but if you are at $15K MRR or more, HMU!
@RachelARich
Been invested all week. Can't wait for the story to unfold some more. Someone's gonna have to get on a plane to keep the plot moving forward.
For any single parent
@Shopify
merchants - I am volunteering my service in helping with crafting 1-3 email marketing content writing during this pandemic. DM me.
I still check the trending apps on Shopify almost daily and it's so fun to see that out of the 10 apps I do marketing for, at least one of them is trending each week still. IT'S sometimes about celebrating the little wins along the way.
Today I was feeling sluggish when I went to run. I just didn't have the pep in my step. So I ran for 5 minutes & walked mostly. Ya know what? I'm proud of myself for just showing up anyway. I did a thing. I didn't necessarily do the thing but not all days are winners & it's okay.
Out of over 7,000 Shopify apps, 3 of the apps I do marketing for are on this page! That is pretty cool. That said, I have some openings starting on June 1 to help 3 more Shopify apps. DM's are open.
I'm going to brag, why not.
I'm hosting a panel at Pre/ditions with
@Tina_Donati
&
@timothypeckover
AKA "The Band" titled Full stack growth: Understanding the best marketing strategies to implement at every stage of growth.
We did a dry run today & you are all not ready! WOW.
Shopify Ecosystem Appreciation Post:
I have been in this community for 8 years and I am always in awe of the people I get to call friends, partners, and colleagues. Things have been so busy & it's always so heart warming to get or send a random message to someone just to say hi.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2nd Women in Shopify Virtual Happy Hour. It was a blast! Next one will be on May 20th. Stay tuned for the updates and don't forget to send us your Shopify memories for the montage.

What a wild 2 days we all experienced in Toronto this week. Thank you to the
@gadget_dev
&
@heymantle
team for throwing an epic Pre/ditions event which was the perfect way to kickstart
@shopify
Editions. I met so many amazing people. Thank u!
If you are on the marketing or partnerships teams of a
@ShopifyDevs
app (or any SaaS company really), do you ever man the website chat?
As someone who does marketing for 10 Shopify apps, I have learned SOOO much by monitoring live website chats.
10/10 would recommend.
I'm building my very own Shopify store with real products. CRAZY! It's actually happening.
What advice would you give me for starting out a brand new Shopify store? What things should I consider initially? Any & all feedback is wanted as I don't know what I don't know.
I recorded a podcast yesterday where I talked about Shopify apps, Live Shopping on TikTok and Mental health during the holiday rush as an ecomm professional in the hustle and bustle. It was a lot of fun. If you're looking for guests on your podcast, HMU.
@ahimsa36
Totally. It's one of those things that is hard to know until you know and then you can't unknow. Covert narcissists are hard to detect from the naked eye unless you know what to look for. This also happens in the courts.
@Kari_Creative
What is your timeline for getting this resolved? I want to give this the proper focus but I’m afraid I’m spread a little thin at the moment.
A woman works at Chick-fil-A. She makes content of her employee meals on TikTok garnering millions of views & tons of engagement. People buy new products influenced by her videos. Chick-fil-A contacts her to stop posting videos, siting it breaks rules in employee handbook 1/4
*Clears throat* ahem
Twitter does not need to be an extension of your work.
I repeat.
Twitter does not need to be an extension of your work.
You can just be authentic, fun, goofy, sarcastic, & just talk about who you are vs what you do. It's not that serious. This isn't Linkedin
Let's try something new on Twitter this week.
AUTHENTICITY.
Stop trying to sound cool with your words of wisdom that people can literally find anywhere to build "credibility" & just be you. I miss the days of shit talking on here cuz everyone's so busy trying to grow followers.
IMO The most under-prioritized role for Shopify apps is
** DRUM ROLL PLEASE **
A graphic designer on staff! Your app will always need design work done & relying on yourself to do it with the 80 million other things you need to focus on is just simply not the move.
Love being a
@Shopify
partner helping merchants discover apps to improve their operations while growing and positioning apps to reach their target audiences!! All of this can be purchased at ! Thanks 🙏 Shopify!
I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this cake. I wouldn't call it beauty but I would call it something I would like to get in my belly. I think. Right?
I will be celebrating 22 years in marketing & sales next month 🤯. I don't count the 6-8 months I spent as an Art Consultant selling art or the other ways I was a good marketer or salesperson slinging lemonade and other things as a child but I will say it was always there. AMA 😎
So proud of my team. In 2 weeks, we created over 120 graphics for 10 newsletters, and 10 app listing updates. We deployed said newsletters with strong numbers and 9/10 listings updated.
LFG 🚀 and Happy Friday!
I have something really exciting to announce this week. So *drum roll please* .... stay tuned.
I'm not being sarcastic btw. I actually really do have something lol.
Our girl
@Tina_Donati
is getting married tomorrow!! Can we all send her off with best wishes in celebration of her special day with her soon-to-be husband? Post your advice and love below!
I made butter chicken for dinner last night from scratch. I know this isn't an authentic Indian dish but it was delish. The naan was from Trader Joes frozen section but whatever lol.
**SPICY HOT TAKE coming in HOT**
If you are a Shopify app that wants Shopify Plus level customers, don't be so afraid to remove free plans and raise your prices. Shopify is raising their prices again for Shopify Plus customers by 25% this month.
Now, they can lock into a 3 year
I've been spending far less time on social media and especially Twitter and my mental health has drastically .... wait for it ......
Improved. I know shocking to absolutely no one.
Try it out ..it's a wonderful thing.
GUYS! Get excited. We just finished recording an episode for the Lucky Orange Show with
@SchwanMccarthy
talking all about Shopify apps. It was a fun time and I hope you like the episode when it drops. I'll keep you posted on the release date.
