If only someone told me this before my 1st million in e-commerce:

1. Simplify your ad account structure Too many campaigns burn cash. Focus on one if you're targeting one country.

2. Creativity Matters: Test new ad creatives weekly. It's like creating magic spells—sometimes the simplest ones work wonders.

3. Audience Expansion: Don't just retarget; reach new audiences. Too high frequency means wasted cash. Be where your customers are.

4.Hero Product Magic: Find your HERO product. HexClad does it with their pan. Focus on what keeps customers coming back.

1. Know Your Numbers: Track your numbers daily. Don't overspend on retargeting. Know your acquisition efficiency, ROAS, and customer metrics.

2. Unified Channel Tracking: Don't rely on false metrics. Track all activities across channels. Understand where your sales truly come from.

3. Customer Surveys Goldmine: Survey your customers. It's like finding hidden treasures. Email surveys are gold for product improvement and marketing ideas.

What are your personal key lessons? Leave them in the comments 👇

Happy Monday,

This is a small roadsign from me today in your journey to success.

Hawaiians have this saying: there are many roads that lead to the top of the mountain, but the view from the top is the same.

So my advice is to choose the most accessible and fastest roads!

I have spent so much money on mentorship in the last 10 years, and that's the easiest way to take other people's experiences and find the easiest roads to the top of the mountain.

We all will achieve our goal, but when?

You can see that my goal in April 1 million is fast :)), so I choose to achieve goals fast and easily.

What's your strategy?

09.01.2024 11:00:53 UTC+02:00 message290

I've Lost More Than $50 Million in Sales Not Knowing These Lessons…

1️⃣ Focus on the Right Numbers: Prioritize metrics like New Customer CPA, Overall CPA, 6-Month Gross Margin, 12-Month LTV, and more. Setting clear targets for these metrics is crucial for sustainable growth.

2️⃣ Diversify Your Content: Move beyond static images; diversify with videos, images, and animations. Understand the importance of content diversification for reaching a broader audience.

3️⃣ Deep Customer Understanding: Shift from simple ads to understanding your customer's desires, needs, and pain points. Dive deep into consumer psychology for effective ad messages and marketing funnels.

4️⃣ Business Optimization (Not Just CRO): Consider website optimization as business optimization. Constantly test and evolve; small changes can significantly impact customer behavior.

5️⃣ Craft an Irresistible Offer: Having a compelling offer is essential for customer acquisition. Study successful brands to identify and test various offers.

6️⃣ Strategic Approach is Key: Develop a clear strategy; know if you want immediate profits or are willing to invest for long-term gains. Understanding customer behavior is crucial for effective strategic planning.

7️⃣ Customer Retention Insights: Leverage data to understand customer return patterns. Use insights to strategically lose money on first purchases, knowing the long-term profitability.

8️⃣ Go Beyond Surface-Level Efforts: Mediocre inputs yield mediocre results. Commit to the depth required for long-term e-commerce growth. Remember, success in e-commerce demands a comprehensive approach. Dive deep, strategize wisely, and watch your brand flourish! 💼📈

[!quote] Transcript of video (16).mp4 (round_video_messages, 41s, lang=en) Hey guys, I don't know who are using and who are not using the hijab or any place where you can see the recordings. I think that's one of the most important stuff what you can do to improve your online store is by looking at those recordings and trying to understand what's missing in the page, what people are clicking, what information they want more. And that's something I'm doing every day for a project where we are running. And that helps to improve the homepage and all the customer journey. So it's for free, I think, for 15 days, 100%. Just try it and let me know if you need any instructions on this.

Watched the first 30 recordings, and I can see that the quality of traffic is good. Clicking through the page etc.

Made 2 changes from recordings: newsletter popup delay from 5 sec to 31 sec and announcement bar design improvement.

Must have for any new e-commerce brand, checking daily at least 100 recordings!

[!quote] Transcript of audio_28@12-01-2024_08-40-22.ogg (voice_messages, 84s, lang=en) Good morning, good morning team. So yeah, second day with live ads, running some, I think we have some five add-to-cards, some good traffic coming in. Right now we are trying to find the state where is the most traffic coming in and checking the store and that will be in the next stage, the state where we will focus more on getting the first sales. And so far, yeah, we see good results from quality of the traffic that was important for us because we launched the first ads and right now improving the ads. I believe in this week and we need to have the first sale because the problem is that we are selling product over $2,000 and that means people are not making decision in one day. But still we have a really good offer in one day. So it should work. And yeah, that's an update. And I think we should jump on a live on a Sunday again and talk about this project and maybe you have some questions from the, yeah, some questions to me. So let me know, drop some banana if there is somebody who wants to make a live Sunday, I think 7 p.m., something like that.

what’s your daily ad spend for such a high ticket product?

Stock investment will be half a million, so we need to be sure that someone is buying this stuff!

[!quote] Transcript of audio_29@13-01-2024_12-24-14.ogg (voice_messages, 123s, lang=en) i totally agree yes email marketing is is really important this stuff for now we are just collecting customers uh with a pop-up so we have a pop-up which pops out in 31 seconds and it showed that we have a amazing offer uh for limited time and people are leaving the emails there and we are just doing the manual stuff right now we are writing them and trying to open the conversation uh so that's all our email marketing for now but uh for the next week we are planning to build like a basic flows and we are adding the educational flows in a welcome emails where we want to show why this product is the best solution for this uh i think what they do so yeah we we have this in a plan but uh in the launch process it's not something you need to focus on because email marketing is more than when when you have actual list where you can send something out it's it's more actual so so we are going i think our first sale should come from all those manual emails i think that will be the be the thing because i really like this idea that you must close first 10 clients manually and uh that's that's a great thing so if you guys have abundant checkouts like if you have a shopify you can go to the orders and abundant checkout and there you can see people who has abandoned your checkout so that means they have they haven't finished the purchase and go their sends send emails to them and there is a phone number to call them or okay calling maybe it's too aggressive but send them a sms with a question hey guys why you why you didn't finish the finish the purchase what what's what's missing there what what you would like to know and i have the from my experience approximately 50 percent of people you will close uh on on that email uh uh email uh communication so sorry sms communication

What you think about tiktok organic?

13.01.2024 14:27:54 UTC+02:00 message324

We will start producing videos next week 🤙 found a content creator who makes videos from $3 - $5 a piece!

I will go AI voice-over approach because I don't have enough video content to go the proper way!

I think building an organic video content creation system is very important, one viral video can make you so much $$$, but it takes time to make that video.

The faster you start, the faster you start 😀

But upload videos not just on TikTok, but on all platforms, they are ~8 now!

Why Small E-Commerce Brands Struggle To Grow With Facebook Ads? 😔

I hope you guys are getting those shopify sale notifications daily, but now let’s get straight to the point. 💸

1. Complex Ad Structures: 😒

Reason: Overcomplicating campaigns with multiple structures. Solution: Simplify. Run one campaign per country. Unify your approach for efficiency.

1. Inadequate Creative Testing: 🧪

Reason: Limited weekly tests and reliance on a few creatives. Solution: Embrace variety. Test weekly across all creative formats for enhanced performance.

1. Neglecting New Customer Acquisition: 💰

Reason: Overemphasis on retargeting, missing out on new audiences. Solution: Diversify. Aim for new customer segments by targeting the unaware, problem-aware, and solution-aware audiences.

1. Ignoring the Hero Offer: 🦸🏼‍♂️

Reason: Advertising all products instead of spotlighting a hero offer. Solution: Identify your hero product. Consistently showcase it for increased customer retention and returns.

1. Lack of Numerical Insight: 💯

Reason: Sole focus on daily ROAS without tracking critical metrics. Solution: Know your numbers. Monitor New Customer ROAS, acquisition costs, and overall ecosystem efficiency.

1. Absence of Strategic Direction: 🎯

Reason: Multitasking without a clear problem-solving approach. Solution: Focus on one problem at a time. Weekly tests and daily metric tracking provide clarity and direction.

1. Fragmented Channel Attribution: ✂️

Reason: Separately attributing sales to each advertising platform. Solution: Adopt a holistic approach. Track activities across all platforms for a comprehensive understanding of their impact.

1. Underutilizing Customer Surveys: 📩

Reason: Neglecting customer surveys for valuable insights. Solution: Regularly survey your customer base. Extract insights for product improvement and impactful marketing angles.

1. Limited Understanding of Customers: 🫣

Reason: Ignoring customer pain points and preferences. Solution: Conduct regular surveys. Connect with your audience, understand their needs, and tailor your strategies accordingly.

1. Ignoring 'Money-Making Activities': 📈

Reason: Overlooking simple yet impactful strategies. Solution: Act on insights. Whether simplifying ad structures or conducting surveys, engage in activities that drive results.

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. 🫡

So there are no duties and taxes, but at checkout, the client was seeing that there are! And of course, after I told him that it was a mistake and that taxes and duties are paid by us, he left chat.

So happy that we have a chat at checkout and customers can help us improve the store!

Congrats! But honestly would be way more interesting to follow your journey if there would be more transparency. Website, product, margins etc.. You're only disclosing ad spend.. Now it's like some super secret.. We don't need name of supplier or anything, but some basic stuff :) just my 2 cents

16.01.2024 19:17:24 UTC+02:00 message358

[!quote] Transcript of audio_31@16-01-2024_19-17-24.ogg (voice_messages, 126s, lang=en) Guys, in April, when everything will be done from my side, when everything will be launched, when I will make at least 1 million in profits, then I will open everything. I will show everything from A to Z. Right now, it's not smart for me to show everything because I don't have nothing. I just have one sale. So that means anyone who is in this group can copy everything what I do or even do it better because it's possible and I will just lose a lot of money. Why I should do that? If you are ready to pay for that, let's make the paid group where I'm opening everything, showing every step, explaining every stuff and charging for that money. But not for this project. In this project, I will not disclose all the stuff. After it's done, I will show you guys everything. But for now, I will try to share maximum what I can share to not harm my situation or lose some money. It's already showing every step and showing all the stuff what's happening. I think it's already good value because you are not paying anything for this group. It's just like... For me, posting and investing time in this sharing stuff because I'm just... I don't know why I just want to share all this stuff what's happening there because I just want you guys believe that anything is possible and that you can make whatever you want in what like any time you want. So sorry. Yes, I will not give you all the details but when it will be done, one million will be in my account, I will show you every detail because then you can catch me because I am already in the market and yeah, I can dominate it. Sorry.

Question. Do you have after possible satisfied checkout? I mean do you have checkout where card info is entered or direct payment connects to the internet bank?

18.01.2024 17:49:12 UTC+02:00 message372

Card, because direct payments are not popular abroad!

Three reminders for you to do for e-commerce business

1. Participate in communication under ads; more engagement, less spent on ads!
2. Watch Hotjar every day. It helps see your homepage with customers' eyes to find improvements (CRO)!
3. Send an SMS to abandoned checkouts to understand why they didn't finish orders. This is the best way to get feedback from real potential clients!

Happy Monday! Let's make a lot of money this week!

But data never lies; you can see that good quality traffic is coming, so keep spending.

Today, I had a conversation with the e-commerce team from the US, and they said that this kind of online store should look at their stores as lead generation, not sales :) And it takes ~40 days to close any deal!

It took me 2 days to close the first deal; what does that mean?

Good targeted ads but also you're leaving "muchos" money on the table! Cheapest of course email, then SMS and eventually sales person/closer on the phone? Shifting $2-3k hight ticket items! :) exciting!

Did you purchase any inventory upfront or is it a pure dropshipping store?

30.01.2024 19:04:14 UTC+02:00 message484

[!quote] Transcript of video (19).mp4 (round_video_messages, 46s, lang=en) Would say for starting for testing phase you don't need to buy any inventory you try to manage everything with dropshipping There's so many guys who is ready to test some new markets new things and so many like product owners who would be happy if you would help them to get to the US market or Whatever and they will they will give you some bonuses on that So I would try to find a model where everything happens for a first hundred orders in dropshipping And when you have proved that you can make money you can do everything else I think we can discuss about this more and in a Sunday's life If we will have bananas again, but yeah, I would go for dropshipping Yeah, and she would go to yeah

30.01.2024 19:04:24 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message485

Are the products branded with your brand before shipping? How important is it to have them branded accordingly?

30.01.2024 19:05:11 UTC+02:00 message486

Same here, for the testing phase, it's not necessary!

30.01.2024 23:57:02 UTC+02:00 message487

It looks like I have found a 3PL partner in the US so that I can get delivery costs down to $500 🤙

Do you know any 3PLs there?

But overall, we have crossed $50k 🤙

I think it's not bad after 20 days 🤔

31.01.2024 11:19:30 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message491

1.69k visits with 250$ adspend? Then cpc must have been 0.15$ 🤔

31.01.2024 11:20:03 UTC+02:00 message492

[!quote] Transcript of video (20).mp4 (round_video_messages, 28s, lang=en) So the ad spend is something like $350 I think and but we have an affiliate program and I see that affiliate program is starting to run pretty well. There is some traffic coming in so yeah it's not fully over traffic so we are starting to generate some traffic without paid ads so that's good news. Yeah but overall yeah CPC is very good but we have some reasons for that but that one I will maybe share on the Sunday's live.

31.01.2024 11:20:26 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message493

Good job! If you can share, are the products all ready to ship or there is some manufacturing time included in the process?

31.01.2024 11:21:25 UTC+02:00 message494

From tracking, I can see that the first orders should arrive today! 🤞

120 days 🤦‍♂️

So I just credited Shopify payment for 50k 😀

Welcome to the jungle!

31.01.2024 16:24:44 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message497

This is painful! Ouch! Happened couple of times over the years... time to look for alternative payment methods, not sure if you have existing good relations with key providers like stripe etc? But even then, high chance of getting delayed payouts, etc :(

31.01.2024 16:25:30 UTC+02:00 message498

Yeah, Stripe is on, and we can continue selling.

We were off for 1 hour!

31.01.2024 16:28:27 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message499

Sad news. Can you make some tutorial how to get shopify payments? Stripe is easy

31.01.2024 16:29:14 UTC+02:00 message500

[!quote] Transcript of audio_37@31-01-2024_16-29-14.ogg (voice_messages, 41s, lang=en) So easiest way how to go get a Shopify payments is like if you register a company in Us like LLC company it cost like around four hundred dollars and then you can get a Shopify payments But you need to wait around one or two month to get a yen number Which is like a watt number for your us. So yeah, it's possible But but but it takes takes a little bit time. So because I had a LLC company for a while it was easy for me to get but looks like it wasn't good solution because right now my 50,000 is holding for four months at their bank accounts and that's not cool

31.01.2024 16:32:58 UTC+02:00 message501

But there is a good side to this, we will get our money four days faster 🤙

Not in 7 days, but 3 🤙
