oh yeah, last month did $148k.
hit the 100k/month goal i've been working toward.
no big story. just ads, emails, and fixing payment issues every day.
next up: $10k/day consistently.
especially when you're not from the US. everything becomes 10x harder.
processors assume you're sketchy. holds kill cash flow. support doesn't trust you.
wish i had a US partner to handle this side.
no matter. keep fighting. will find a way soon.
hitting $100k/month is actually easy now.
could scale this to $200k+ for sure. the marketing works. the product works. customers are happy.
but payment gateways? that's the real bottleneck.
@Samuel_Ecom1 If you want to scale, find a high-risk payment gateway early, never rely on Stripe. They will make your life hell exactly when you need it most.
@Samuel_Ecom1 Stripe hates dropship, specially if you have subscription combos. Found out the hard way $25K held for 2 months, now in a legal battle just to access my own funds.
lost my 30k mrr as well. now going for high risk gateway.
openclaw is actually insane.
all my agents just... working. doing their tasks. no babysitting needed.
this is what automation should feel like.
if you're not using AI agents for ecom yet, you're leaving money on the table.
Here's my conversation with Peter Steinberger (@steipete), creator of OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent that has taken the Internet by storm, with now over 180,000 stars on GitHub.
This was a truly mind-blowing, inspiring, and fun conversation!
It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

looking for a creative strategist.
not just someone who can make pretty ads.
need someone who gets direct response and conversion.
requirements:
- experience with ecom creative strategy
- knows how to test angles
- understands what sells
we're scaling.
dm if this is you.
@RafihathSalehC amazing stuff. I actually relate to the video. I am stuck at 10k/day for now; will apply your method and try scaling.
Thanks man keep posting good stuff
