Day 20 Of Documenting 0-1M. First ever 6 figure month & honestly it’s a strange feeling. It’s insane to finally see it in front of me, but I also have been telling myself everyday for months this was going to happen so when it did happen it was almost like “yeah exactly” type of

Day 365 of documenting 0-1M . Got the award in today and it was dope. The reason it was dope was because, yes it’s nice to see a physical trophy to represent your hard work, but. I managed to do this with no desk, no office, no monitor, and a dell laptop that basically only

Day 266 of documenting 0-1M . Solid momentum right now, the increase in scale is simply a result of the creative output. Constantly testing 20+ creatives / week has been key. Just finding new pockets of customers to sell to. Going to keep scaling vertically for now, while

4 months straight of no sales. Not a single order for 4 months. Basically 120 days straight of pursuit without a single reward. 6 1/2 months without making any profit. Bank account declining for half a year straight. Zero profit, not a single Green Day, week, month etc.

Day 180 of documenting 0-1M . Store did decent today, despite CPA’s starting to really spike. The big advantage of this store is the margins. My b/e CPA is just over $30. It leaves me with a ton of room to outbid people for customers. The biggest issue im facing right now is my

Been getting a lot of messages from people asking me about what I do for my LPs after I posted how we converted 18 times out of 21 the other day. I drop a short post on it. I like to keep things in the simplest form. Simple doesn't mean lazy or half-ass, simple just means zero.

Be careful consuming too much “money twitter” content or too much of the online business space content with everybody flexing their income or lifestyle… . It could very easily rob you of the enjoyment of your own journey. Constantly making progress and not appreciating.

I know guys who will spend 500-1K on ONE product test. basically forcing it to work and then crushing with it . I know guys who won’t spend anything over $50 on a product test. Both of these people have done multi 7 figures . Everything can work, and everybody has their own.

In Ecom, most of your problems revolve around having too low of an AOV . You can still scale on lower AOV but it’s just much harder and so many more headaches. I was very naive to this for awhile . Higher AOV relieves a lot of smaller problems. You can let campaigns spend longer

Best part about Ecom is the actual hours on the clock don’t mean anything . Working from 5am - 11am and working 2pm to 8pm are the same 6 hours . I know guys who wake up late and work all night and vice versa . U literally just have to sit down and do work that’s it🤣. 🧘♂️.
