Launched my e-commerce site in the middle of the pandemic (June 2020).

Just checked on our revenue from launch and we’re at $60,000+

SUPER BLESSED!

Keys: organic growth (Tik tok, Instagram), unique design & customer service

+content distribution: looking to work with micro-influencers as well

Huge opportunity in the influencer matching database world

Everything I’ve used sucks or is paid

Don’t know how someone hasn’t created a good database that makes money off ads instead of a subscription

1/ Onto the marketing portion of my startup @theHopShopApp

below is whats being working on and how I’m approaching it

• content creation: using myself, googling techniques Fortune 500 companies use on social, potentially a freelance videographer

• content distribution: ⬇️

The hope is to get 1,000 users signed pre-launch and leverage those numbers to get as many e-comm sellers on the app as possible for the real launch

Slight name change in the works but definitely excited to try out something new.

Took a survey on realizing what your brand identity is.

Worth the look if you're creating a new brand, refreshing, or want to see if you're as "on track" with your brand's identity as you thought you were

On the search for influencers on Instagram with ~10k-50k followers.

So far the tools out there are eh.

And a lot of them are paid services, not even free trials.

Might have to just find them organically but definitely a big opportunity if that’s the case.

@austin_rief Don’t think so.

Been working on two startups the past 8 months:

One major lesson learned: lawyers are expensive & finding the right one is hard/damn near impossible

Finding a tenant definitely isn’t easy, and takes a lot of patience.

But turning a liability into an asset?

Priceless

Just locked in $3k of revolving revenue for the next 12 months

@Mqsley Thanks for sharing. Insane to say the least.

Knocks off that look way worse than your product.

I’m flattered but copy it better please 🤢🤢🤢

@chriscantino I think DTC can live in the “small biz” space.

But if you’re looking to make it big as a DTC you better have a one of a kind product.

#1 tool for my sanity has to be my phone’s calendar.

Making dope video ads....is it as simple as using an iPhone or is it better handled by a professional?

I’m about to find out 🤣

[Zafar @yozafar]

@quinnjmiller @capital_sb I got you.

Mannnn, Twitter loves them some self-storage I haven’t made the leap yet there. When I need to park some cash that may be the wave.

[Zafar @yozafar]

@quinnjmiller @capital_sb I see you with that triple net, before the mall grab the property a fast food franchise is sitting on.

You can find some with a 15-30 year lease in place.

Tip for those looking to get into CPG, retail, SMB

Making a product/biz that’s revolves around holidays is sustainable.

The spending during holidays is IRRATIONAL!

Just need to keep the lights on the other months.

A plus, every year new holidays are popping up as well.

First reaction to seeing in-app shopping on TikTok was...FUCK.

But quickly realized this shows shopping via short videos is going to be a thing.

What I’m looking to add to this: non-invasion onto your social platforms
