3-Sep-2026: Day 247 of ECOM
Genuinely frustrated. After a very long stretch of great sales, the last week or so has been a disaster.
Not sure what's happening - all I can do is launch new ads to test and I've done that.
Let's keep pushing.
2-Sep-2026: Day 246 of ECOM
• Had literally the worst day in the last 3 months or so yesterday with just 1 order.
• Ads really didn't do well yesterday.
• The only option is to launch more creatives.
Going to analyze and do everything with my ad account today.
31-Aug-2026: Day 244 of ECOM
• As usual had a great day followed by 3 shit days.
• Going to surgically analyze my ad account today.
• Interview with the first prospective VA today.
Let's keep pushing.
28-Aug-2026: Day 241 of ECOM
• Had one of the best days yesterday in terms of conversion rates - super happy 😃
• Business is going really great.
• Now just need to scale this to the moon.
27-Aug-2026: Day 240 of ECOM
• Made some surgical cuts to my ads yesterday and that dropped the spend in my BidCap campaign.
• Would like to test another category of products but I can only do that after I hire someone.
• So that would be my priority next week.
25-Aug-2026: Day 238 of ECOM
• The main CBO is being very sporadic again.
• Going to launch a few new ads today and see what happens.
• I think creative diversity is so so important.
Also going to do a Cost Cap campaign with all ads that did not work well earlier.
24-Aug-2026: Day 237 of ECOM
Took a break for the weekend. Everything's going smoothly.
The ads are sporadic but still converting well - nothing bad.
Need to throw in some new creatives this week for testing.
21-Aug-2026: Day 234 of ECOM
Ads performance dropped like crazy the last few days.
Maybe the new products I'm testing aren't really working out.
I will swap and move onto other new products to test.
Let's keep pushing.
20-Aug-2026: Day 233 of ECOM
One thing I know about ecom is not just rely on Meta ads for your traffic.
So eventually, I'll be investing into SEO.
I also need to come up with more plans on how to retain customers.
Shipping Protection will be the next step to increase AOV.
19-Aug-2026: Day 232 of ECOM
• Still struggling with returns.
• Plan is to analyze and phase out products with bad customer responses.
• But great feedback on my winning product.
Let's go!
18-Aug-2026: Day 231 of ECOM
The biggest bottlenecks right now:
• A lot of my sales are dependent on one product
• Unable to scale CBO profitably by increasing budget
• My return portal customer support is pretty terrible
But let's keep pushing.
14-Aug-2026: Day 226 of ECOM
I really like what I'm seeing in terms of the revenue.
Although profit margins are not the best.
I'm still happy with what I've accomplished this year.
13-Aug-2026: Day 225 of ECOM
Regardless of my net profits recently, I have finally made the decision to hire.
Going to be interviewing applicants next week and see where we go from there.
12-Aug-2026: Day 224 of ECOM
Sales have been consistently good over the last week or so.
My profit margins are still slim so waited on hiring my team.
Going to do a feasibility calculation to bring someone onboard this week + hire next week.
10-Aug-2026: Day 222 of ECOM
Extremely happy with the sales the last few days.
Everything is back to normal.
Now the next step is making sure my factory can handle fulfillment as we scale.
7-Aug-2026: Day 219 of ECOM
And after a lot of terrible days, finally had a good day yesterday.
I found the leak - it was one creative in my Bid Cap Scaling campaign which died off.
I paused it.
Created a new one very similar.
Launching it directly into the BidCap campaign.
