xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONBeen a while since I updated this. Ecom Update Since my last post, things have been…meh. Since taking over the ads, the agency hasn’t really been able to scale or get consistent performance. They’re testing a lot, but we got totally crushed in August and the beginning of September...- xShepherdx

xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONThanks for taking the time to comment, congrats on the sales! How have things gone for you since then? Our ROAS is still lumpy. August and early September were terrible. We were at around 0.5 ROAS so we scaled way down. Things are picking back up now but it sounds like a lot of people online...- xShepherdx

xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONGood tip! That's supremely easy for me to implement and should give some good insights into my audience. Not sure why I didn't do that before haha. I think my 2 main problems are: 1) I'm using a shared Klaviyo domain and need to set up a dedicated domain with them. AND 2) I just don't...- xShepherdx

NOTABLE! CHATVery interesting video, thanks for sharing! In short, I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and the meds always made me feel terrible so I went without.

HOT! EXECUTIONEcom Business Update Hiring that ad agency was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made with this business. The amount and depth of their testing and strategy are 100x what I could have ever done on my own. And, most importantly, everything is being done without me needing to spend...- xShepherdx

Email marketers... are you seeing these trends, too?
MARKETING@Kung Fu Steve I noticed the same thing from someone else in my industry a while back. Despite unsubscribing and marking their emails spam like 10 times they were still coming though. I ended up blocking them and that resolved it. I wish my emails had deliverability like that LOL. If anyone...- xShepherdx

The main goal...- xShepherdx

xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONFor some reason, creating ads + managing them is something I find myself resisting and putting off. I have the framework and tools, but creating good ads is taking me FOREVER and is preventing me from getting other important work done. So, I took a leap and decided to hire a marketing agency...- xShepherdx

Luck is for schmucks, THIS is for winners.
GOLD! NEWSLETTERGreat post @MJ DeMarco, thanks for sharing. I recently watched this video from Alex Hormozi and, while not directly related to conditional probability, I feel it echoed much of the same sentiment. One quote I took away from the video was "Volume negates luck". Basically, if you do enough of...- xShepherdx

HOT! CHATGot some info for the window washers/service biz people here. My parents are getting 57 windows washed inside and out + screens and tracks for $395 USD. To me, that seemed like a great deal, but my mom, who is the buyer of the household wasn't sure. That's a lot of money for her. She wasn't...- xShepherdx

HOT! EXECUTIONEcom Update: I had a hugely helpful chat with @MitchC who helped me see where I was going wrong in my ad setup. He also inspired me to start using Canva for making video ads and now I'm able to do them on my own. So now I only need my video guy for specialized videos, which is big because I...- xShepherdx

Reddit starts charging for API access, fiasco ensues...
EXECUTIONI don't see the communities going dark as a violation of Control. Reddit still owns the website and those communities/pages/advertising space. And people are probably still buying their dumb "awards" lol. Instead, this seems like a classic "not listening to our users because we know best" move...- xShepherdx

Graham Stephen tries window cleaning
MINDSETThat was a great video @biophase, thanks for sharing! I’m curious - what makes you say the guy is good at selling? For example, was it his overall mindset? Maybe his demeanor? Or were there specific tactics you noticed he was using? I’d be very interested to hear what you saw or picked up on...- xShepherdx
