ecommerce + agency guy who makes ai do the boring work. claude, agents, mcp. built livebridge: claude runs ableton. 🇳🇱

ship it ugly. the first facebook looked like a tax form and that worked out fine

agency tip: send the report before the client asks for it. a client who has to ask how it's going already thinks it's going badly

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

every company is "ai first" now. for most of them that means the intern has a chatgpt tab open

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

abandoned checkout tip: send the first nudge within an hour, not the next day. by tomorrow they've bought it somewhere else or forgotten they wanted it

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

before you touch your ads, read your last 50 support emails. your customers already wrote your next 5 hooks. for free. with typos

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

stop a/b testing button colours. test the offer. nobody ever left a store because the button was green

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

before you scale an ad, check if the product page can close. most "bad ads" are good ads sending people to a page that answers zero questions

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

do the thing, then tell people you did the thing. most people do it the other way around

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@staysaasy plausible is the problem. it can't invent the wins you never wrote down, so it fills the gap with "solid team player"

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@TTrimoreau the first channel is almost always "people who already knew you". it only gets called referrals later so it sounds like a strategy

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@rezoundous speed and cost i believe. intelligence i'll believe once it survives a real client's product feed with 3 currencies and emoji in the skus

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@coldemailchris a degree proves you can sit through 4 years. a working outbound system proves you can make someone money. guess which one gets the reply

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

the 5am club is overrated. my ai agent works all night and has never once posted a sunrise photo about it

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

clients ask for an ai agent. nine times out of ten what they need is the shopify export landing in the sheet they already open every monday. i still call it an agent. everyone's happy

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

your startup doesn't need a logo, a deck or an office with a slide. it needs one customer who'd be upset if you shut down

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@marclou 51% returning on a site full of other people's revenue. turns out founders check competitors' mrr more often than their own dashboard

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@YourVibeGuy @coldemailchris @shaw_gtm validating on every build is the right call. lists rot fast, the one that was clean in march is a bounce party by june

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@Voxyz_ai good problem right up until the dm tool hits a rate limit and you're the intern sending 400 pdfs by hand at midnight

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

@YVCN69 30 to 60 min is the sweet spot. plain text from a real name reads like a person noticed, the branded template reads like a system fired

[ValentijnH @SnackbarHassan]

automate these on any shopify store before spending a euro on ads:

1. abandoned checkouts that sound human
2. 'where is my order' replies with tracking
3. stock alerts on bestsellers
4. review requests a week after delivery
5. weekly margin reports

boring. that's the point.
