    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Didn't realize this thread was started a year ago when I had commented. I saw the "Hot Topic" tag and assumed it was brand new.. Glad to hear you've got your head in the right place, this is definitely the most important. For what it's worth I think it's impressive you build an innovative...

    It's impressive you have 20k subs on your list. Is there a particular offer or strategy you are using to build the list or are these just people trickling in after viewing your ads?

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    I'd remove most of the text (like affiliate link) and update the button with the amazon logo. (ie buy from "amazon-logo") Not sure about showing the stock like this either but that maybe something worth testing. Overall I think the website looks pretty good, nice work on that. The product is...

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Agree with everyone on price. Just because that product is simple and only has to support 3 oz doesn't matter, it sells because it solves a need worth $15-24 for consumers. That is an impulse buy range. You may want to address this in main copy as it's a possible concern and many customers...

    Looking for good CRM that integrates with Shopify

    @eTox - if gohighlevel doesn't work for your use case please send me a DM. I also have an e-com store that has a custom fulfilment process as we customize our orders. I'm also a software developer and am looking at building out a tool to help automate my workflow (and be useful enough for...

    Copycat Business Discovered - Any Options?

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond. The advice to focus on continued execution instead of these losers is sound and is my plan. As @biophase mentioned, someone who is going to duplicate instead of being creative is lazy and ultimately not a threat. I decided to just move on and not...

    Copycat Business Discovered - Any Options?

    A few months ago I started an e-commerce business and it has steadily been growing in sales. I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone tried to sell a similar product (I'm selling a customized product), however I didn't expect someone to also steal my website and advertising copy...

    Thanks for taking the time to describe your ad process, much appreciated! On the VA note, I've hired quite a few and there are some gems and some not so great VAs. The most important thing I've found is to have crystal clear writeup. I use this process for tasks (typically) maybe it will help...

    Thanks for sharing your progress in this thread, it's very interesting to follow and congrats on the success! Would you mind sharing a bit more about your ad strategy? I also run an e-commerce store and have alot of trouble with consistency and scaling. Some days will do $500 in sales, the...

    Facebook ads to test market?

    MARKETING 
    You have to send them somewhere from your facebook ad... Can you create a landing page describing the product? Then you can send them there and see if they join an email list to be notified when ready or get updates about the product development (sounds like you'd be developing the product?). If...

    MacBook Air or Dell XPS 13 Laptop for programming?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm pretty sure it was a 2013 macbook air (it was a few months old at the time). Xcode did work but it got really sluggish with things like storyboards (interface builder), I also used blender on it for some basic 3d modelling and it worked but got choppy at times. It was definitely a workable...

    MacBook Air or Dell XPS 13 Laptop for programming?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Mac vs Windows is basically an ideological argument, it will be hard to get objective responses. There are cults for both. I don't know anyone who likes both platforms equally. A few thoughts for anyone looking to purchase a computer for programming: Throwing out the benchmark specs is likely...

    Nice progress! I saw the strategy you laid out about add to cart retargeting, I was curious for your retargeting campaigns do you use conversion objective or traffic?

    SAAS Emailing Help

    SAAS / APPS 
    I second/third the notion of using an email provider like sendgrid to do this (I personally use send grid), it's inexpensive for transactional emails (like the notifications for your use case), easy to set up and you'll get a bunch of features that would take a long time to build (like...

    Ask Me Anything - Facebook Ads [2M+ Ad spend]

    HOT! MARKETING 
    @Pritesh - curious why you would scale the adset by duplicating it vs increasing the budget? I've seen this recommended a few times but seems to be contrary to what facebook recommends and based on facebook docs this strategy implies a negative impact to delivery due to audience overlap across...

    Not sure this is the right place but looking for feedback on my landing page

    MARKETING 
    Very quick feedback: #1 - Value proposition unclear - how is this going to save me time or money, not obvious and nothing hooked me to keep reading. The orange on white text is very hard to read. Pretty sure this is an accessibility no-no. I use flux/nightshift (as to alot of people) and it's...

    Netflix's Game Changers (Vegan Documentary)

    HEALTH 
    Every single one of these videos has a bias and that should be kept in mind. We live in an age of too much information and you can easily cherry pick arguments which support your position and discredit those that do not. Do your own research, experiment and do what works best for you. One thing...

    MorningRod - What do you think about my invention?

    HOT! 
    I think this is a great idea if marketed correctly. The timing is good for products like this, there is a whole craze right now making talk about circadian rhythm alot more mainstream (blue light blockers, sleep trackers, "natural" alarm clocks). For what it's worth I had looked into this at...

    is mobile game a good business?

    Maybe English isn't your first language but they key is I said mobile game successes here as in this forum. You can obviously point to examples of successes but the point is in probabilities. And if you don't think Facebook is b2b then I guess you've never run (or heard of) Facebook ppc ads...
