having lots of fun

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

I'll never understand doomer takes on ecommerce.
"I would never start a @Shopify store in {insert year}"
"You're not profitable until you hit X"
"You have to launch thousands of ads" (way too sweaty)

My favorite one is "The economy"

It's all so noisy and honestly such a bad vibe (sorry if you're a bad vibe)

My store is coming up on 2 years old and just passed $1m net.

And I'm not trying that hard. I'm paying attention to other things. This is everything that we're doing.

My VA sends email & sms with Shopify messaging
Nearly all my ad spend is on catalog ads
and I have 6 paid apps

@aftersell by @varunkundra
@KnoCommerce by @JeremiahPrummer
@VideoWiseHQ by @claudiucioba
@tapcart, I don't know who made tapcart.
and @AliaPopups by @iamshaanarora and @corylgill

What else... We just got @memelordtech by @iamjasonlevin for $20 a month and it's rad, so we're going to try launching meme ads and we're tracking our competitors with @foreplay_co

If you have an idea for a physical product that people might like, Shopify has made it pretty easy. Don't let the doomers stop you.

@unifapi @codyplof Sounds cool, can I send DMs too? Trying to understand how this would fit in

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

@geniusboywonder You got it

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

@abdushodmonov I get it. But I think it can still work. Great thoughts, let’s hope they win.

@rishabhmjain On a Sunday evening?

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

@callebtc that's a leading indicator to price? merchants are one small representation of retail demand at best

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

Last week we talked to @obviceo and @kreatekit about how ai is changing ecommerce and ecom saas, @rishabhmjain brought up how fast @codyplof is moving with ai, and my 2c is that it's never been better, claude or codex is doing most of the work for you, you just need to ask for it

This is something the High Growth Handbook taught me: Build systems amongst the chaos.

“When you’re in the thick of it, it is so hard to move yourself out to get the view you need on things.”

[Jack Kavanagh @jackdoesecom]

It was great to jam with Ron and Ankit on all things ecom & saas. Thanks for the chat guys @obviceo @kreatekit
