From 45k in June to 52k in July, slowly getting back.

The most important advertising spent is nearly 2x less.

All numbers are looking good, but still, we are having some cash flow issues.

Should I make an updated livestream? There are some good lessons learned!

I want to ask the same ages old and boring question - any progress on email side (lead capture/nurturing sales flows)?

02.08.2024 12:56:13 UTC+02:00 message1049

Nop, emails, we have basics, but working on the next update.

There will be some exciting upgrades; I will share them!

Back to basics, hotjar and ☕

How many recordings from your traffic are you watching monthly?

Learnings from today: Too many popups, plus a mobile upsell in cart draw, don't give a good customer experience!

.. aaand about us page, should be updated!

06.08.2024 12:46:18 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message1052

Depends if you made changes worth observing. Do you collect feedback from users as well?

06.08.2024 12:47:15 UTC+02:00 message1053

Yes, exit popups, but I don`t like how they are shown! I see that people only click it because they want to get rid of it!

[!quote] Transcript of video (71).mp4 (round_video_messages, 60s, lang=en) so why it's so important to watch those recordings because there is no other way to go through your customer experience than watching the recording watching how the customers are going through this journey and all the time finding some small hints what you can improve because there is no bad no good you can just see that there's the things what can be improved and you can hire uh cro experts you can hire i don't know whatever people who can help you but the most insights you will get when you will watch recordings and try to understand how to give the same message what you want to give with your brand with your store faster and easier and that's all and um i think this is going to save you a lot of money uh about hiring people about hiring developers when you will just spend i don't know 20 30 minutes a day on checking the customers who goes through your customer

[!quote] Transcript of audio_45@07-08-2024_07-25-48.ogg (voice_messages, 178s, lang=en) like it's all the time the circles you give all the documents to pass this week or two and they do again the same process and i have two problems one is uh to buy company uh where we need to pay make a payment links because uh we are charging customers for agency services and consulting and uh whatever and we have the business which is running the business account the e-commerce account is okay it's still running but every two weeks you are giving documents get back answers and then go rounds and rounds so i just want to be ready if there's something happens with the business account in the future i have more possibilities and i think that's something i have from all these processes of uh making them sure that you are legal that you are real that you are like uh you know uh proving that you are legit so you have two three different accounts in two three different companies and every time you can switch from from company to company you don't need to close your business and wait for new two weeks when they will get back with information for you and i think that's that we all can learn that you have many accounts if like if you are using these three payment providers uh then you have two three payment providers if something happens with one of those payment providers you just switched rather so that's for business for everything uh we like to have discomfort when we are using one company and we are okay with us we are we are you know comfortable because we know the processes we know everything but uh those companies can sometimes close accounts they can ask you some stupid questions and and everything can end so if you have several companies who are giving the same uh selling the same product giving the same service then you can uh much easier uh run your business because they can't you up in one day so that's a one more lesson i know already that before this happened but uh we always choose the more comfortable way then uh yeah so prepare for every service every everything you do several companies who can help you and uh and if something happens you have always the chance to to keep working keep doing business without closing it and uh yeah

Creating accounts in Ayden and Airwallex! Will have more payment providers 🤘

12.08.2024 12:21:58 UTC+02:00 message1059

Ayden is from 1 million monthly revenue. 😂

Nice setback! But they told me that Netflix is using them, which is okay!

12.08.2024 12:22:09 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message1060

nice one! btw, why did stripe rejected you in the end - was it AOV too high or refunds/CB surpassing specific threshold? Also isn't it time to look into some local payments in the US? ACH or something? So it goes straight to your bank account imho 🤔 but don't quote me on that

12.08.2024 12:23:41 UTC+02:00 message1061

Our online store stripe account is not closed.

The agency stripe account was closed without any explanation. Maybe they don`t love Dubai companies!

We currently have ACH, but from 500+ orders, only 1 customer has used it!

TikTok Shop, in the last seven days, MyDepot has made almost 1mio 🤙

I didn't know that TikTok Shop works in my niche.

Let's test it!

What's your experience with Tiktok Shop?

19.08.2024 07:03:00 UTC+02:00 message1071

A tool which I'm using for research is Kalodata 🤙

I'm still learning the full process, but it looks like to sell in the US, you need a social security number or ITIN.

My ITIN is coming. I can`t wait. This mistake has cost me a lot, and everything will be on pause until this is fixed. Almost everything on bigger scales depends on this!

So, if you plan to sell a lot in the US and open a company there, please make an ITIN for yourself!

20.08.2024 09:33:15 UTC+02:00 message1076

This is why everyone needs a mentor. There are people who have done it already, and you can save a lot of time and money.

I could apply for an ITIN in January and have it on one hand, but it would be so low on revenue. I think I have lost in profits at least $50k with this one fcking mistake! Interesting that this is not my most expensive mistake. I have one for ~$300k 🙃 Would you be interested in hearing it?

What`s your most costly mistake in life?

20.08.2024 12:01:19 UTC+02:00 message1077

Let`s make a livestream about mistakes.

I could share the most expensive mistakes from this project and others I have had previously. So you don't think it's an overnight success. 🤓

Good news.

Will I receive that money in the account?

This is not the first time someone has accepted and promised to give cash!

30.08.2024 08:43:28 UTC+02:00 [FWD reply] message1093

This was probably one of the better calls — some good insights were shared, and there were plenty of questions and messages to respond to during the Q&A part. 🔥

30.08.2024 08:44:19 UTC+02:00 message1094

Thanks. Yesterday's live stream was full of insights from this journey and previous experiences.

But did I miss those questions? 😂
