    Today was another good day. One of my ad campaigns has a ROAS of 4.5, which is an absolute dream. But as greedy as I would like to be, I am going to descale my ad campaigns for the next 10 days because shipping is really slow. And I really dont want angry customers. I think I value my mental...

    im actually a little bit shocked that this worked tbh. I got 1 lead. Only $13 adspend so far. And the ad was was the ugliest of the lot too. The lead was service based unfortunately, but still kind of surreal

    I use Claude. One of the interesting things is that it does provide opinions on your prompts. Says like "I dont think this is a good idea and this is why.... but if you were to do it, this is how you go about it" Like that's pretty insane

    I had a pretty good weekend for results and hit my first $1K day in revenue. Profit is around 20-30% at this stage. The best way for me to improve margins is probably upsells and SEO. SEO is already in progress and I am hoping to see results in about a few months. SEO is still a bit tricky for...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    Saw that this thread also covers rants, so here goes: I hate that my job takes me away from some of my hobbies (e.g. gym). It kind of sucks that it feels like I am compromising my mental and physical wellbeing to make a large conglomerate $$$$$. I just find it really frustrating.

    Learning from failures

    IDEA INTRO 
    Would posting IG stories help? I remember my barber posting IG stories and that's how his clients (near his location too!!) find out about him. He didnt have much followers either. I think <1000

    I had to refund a customer today. Tbh he was actually really pleasant to deal with, even with his underlying threats of a cashback lol. The issue was that one of his products just got lost in shipping and it had been close to a month. So it was only fair for me to refund him, given our usual...

    had a pleasant surprise today. wasn't making consistent sales with one of my products so i thought what if I increase the price by 20%, so that when I do make sales, I have more profit. I must admit the logic kind of sounds stupid as I write, but my idea is based on making most of it for those...

    this thread is pretty inspiring. i am going to give this a crack myself. i have been building shopify website for years (for myself) but haven't really thought about offering it as a service. and it sounded more simple than i thought it was, reading the thread

    that would be an absolute dream and is something I would look at further down the line. I feel like I am still in the testing / early scaling phase. The issue is that im doing fashion which has lots of variants on sizing and color, so it makes difficult to hold stock until i become a big player...

    a great add on to a prompt would be something like "feel free to ask me any further questions to help you provide a high quality answer". this is particulalry useful and goes away from the generic response. i found it pretty good for updating my cv

    Journos have had the same issue. i remember a media publication using a mainstream article to generate their own article. And it turned out that chatgpt altered the quotes of the article completely too. the media publication eventually shut down but they could've gotten into big legal trouble...

    Today was a pretty good day. One of my products as an ROAS of 10 right now, after 2 days. I am extremely confident that this is a fluke. I suspect it will even out towards the end of this week. If it can have ROAS of above 2 with somewhat consistent sales, I will be pretty stoked, which means I...
