Agree with Tip #5! The data gathered monthly in your business is not just for show as you can definitely use it to predict patterns and see how you'll do in the coming months. Thanks a lot for this, man!
Exciting! Your Twitter thread on essential business metrics for ventures exceeding $300,000 monthly was a hit among e-commerce enthusiasts. Transitioning it into a video promises deeper insights. Can't wait to dive in and glean actionable strategies for success!
Hey Davie! As always, dropping bombs of knowledge. One thing tho, isn´t the MER explanation part of the video wrong? I think you mean to say MER = Ad cost / Revenue, not the other way around, because then you come to explain the example, when MER is 25%, 25.000usd/100.000usd. Amazing content tho, I also use this metric since a long time. Cheers mate! Keep sharing your amazing experience 🙌🏼
I’m starting with POD to start rapping my head around the process, looking at what others are selling, what trends are happening and also the gaps in the market. I think it’s just a matter of time and choosing wisely who guides/ mentors you. I’m just walking into the unknown but seems to come naturally of how to progress. the most important part for me was to just do it and don’t worry and about the income but the outcome to get the income.😊 There is allot to learn and the process isn’t always clear cut what ever is being thrown at me I find solutions to them. I’m sure with time I will get there and taking the things that work and trim as I go. Great vid my friend! Wishing everyone the best, including myself!😂
Thank you love your advice and tips for beginners. In 2020 2021 during the hight of the pandemic I spent most of my time in the wild bush on an island shooting photos of nature mostly flowers with my cell phone. 2022 I decided why not put some of my photos on a few objects. I have a big set back because I am not very technology savvy. I have so much to learn! I have a few orders I don't want to give up. So staying in the game and trying to learn as much as I can. I play your videos a lot they are very helpful. Peace!
I’m stuck at 3 mil and this is such an amazing video that helped me open my eyes. Would still need some personal guidance, but thanks so much for all u do Davie 🥰
@@misterdd7239 Yep yep. I mean still pretty good but it's not 500-600k you can pocket, it's money that belongs to the company. Realistically you could maybe pay yourself like 100-200k at most and then the 3 mil revenue doesn't look that big.

Did (almost) €100.000 last year. This year we are going for €175.000 and next year we are aiming for €1M. Going to be a big leap but I think we can do it
In your opinion Davie, is Facebook and Instagram dead as far a marketing channels for ads and cold traffic to build a brand? Also best video I’ve seen from you!
Hello Davie , thanks for the value bombs :) You're really good at explaning on your youtube videos , do you prepare a script word for word before recording ? if so how long does it take to make a 17 min video like this ?
Hey Davie, I am just starting my eCommerce Journey, Just ordered my first samples of a product I believe will do great in the market (don't worry shouldn't affect Oddie!) Signing up for your mentorship, your videos have been a great resource. thank you so much.

Hi Davie what could be the reason for dropping sales and increase in low quality FB traffic after 4 days? i launched a campaign a second time now and it both times it started to go well the first few days but then sales dropped and traffic increases CVR sometimes at 5% on the good days but then just drops to around 1,5% together with ATC% etc Im so cofused. What would you do?
Might be worth putting this in the Facebook group in further detail as you haven't provided enough information for me to provide my thoughts. 👉facebook.com/groups/howtobuildamilliondollarbrand
Hi Davie, Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned secrets with newbies like us. I have a quick question for you: In several of your video’s, you’ve noted your preference for the app Klaviyo. My question is this: what do you think of the app Privy? Thanks again! 🙏
Privy is primarily used to capture emails where you would then use Klaviyo as the email marketing platform to then send emails on the backend. They are used together!
Hi Davie, I have just started with ecommerce and i am struggling with Google shopping ads. They keep suspending my merchant accounts although I do not violate any policies, I am not even doing Dropshipping, everything is stocked in my warehouse in Sydney. Can you tell me what should I do in this situation? Much appreciated!
Might be worth putting this in more detail in the Free facebook group. Google is very strict with Shopping and it might be worth seeing what your competitors are doing just to get the ball rolling. 👉facebook.com/groups/howtobuildamilliondollarbrand

3PLs would only be considered if you have the money to fund inventory as well as house it in an external warehouse. This will cost more money compared to doing it yourself or shipping it from China as you are paying for the storage, packaging and shipping in the local country.
Mainly signing up for payment platforms and proving age to access funds will be your biggest issue so might be worth signing up using your parents details if you are willing to go ahead with this.
Hi Davie! I got a question: if you have a product that will work globally, which we are all looking for, right :), how do you ensure the delivery? Eg if you want to send stuff from Australia to EU it takes time bit as well taxes, shipping costs are super high? Sure you van have a 3PL in „every country“ but in the very beginning this just impossible, isn’t it? Hope the question is clear 😂
Dude, this video is ALREADY going too fast into 10's of millions of dollars. Davie needs to make this video relevant so we can just get to one million, let alone over that. This video needs to be redone. We need a video that caters to folks who want a "How To Launch A One Million Dollar E-Commerse Business."
I live in Morocco and i want to start dropshipping but i have a problem with methods of payments because Most of them don't support my country.... Any help please
Great video! Love how you DON'T use a podcast microphone! I find it beyond annoying that this microphone is defined as the essence of cool for UA-cam videos. Note to people that use this podcast mics: you don't look cool, you look like a knob! Get a boom mic and look professional. Great video though! Sorry about the rant
10 million! Haven’t even reached $10 yet
Hope you're doing well bro, may your dreams come true lmao

“Stuck at 3 mill” lol tf
@@seffdog1177 That's just revenue, not a full picture T_T Big numbers like that mean nothing if you can't scale profitably.
@@binhbentleydang2863 Yeah same here, revenue means nothing man. Like 3 million with a margin of 10-20% is around 500-600k only.

In your opinion Davie, is Facebook and Instagram dead as far a marketing channels for ads and cold traffic to build a brand? Also best video I’ve seen from you!
Facebook and instagram are by far still the best platforms for scaling your business the most consistently.
great lessobn~!
Hello Davie , thanks for the value bombs :) You're really good at explaning on your youtube videos , do you prepare a script word for word before recording ? if so how long does it take to make a 17 min video like this ?
msg me
when it comes to a new business, how to forecast inventory when you don't have any sales data yet? and comes with it how to forecast sales?
Very good!
msg me
great adviceeee from my idolll hehe
Great video. On which platform should you have the website created for your brand, is Shopify well suited?
Shopify is where most entrepreneurs start with eCommerce.
Hmm. This is going to be a marathon to succeed.
thanks davie!;)
More videos with real examples to reinforce the lessons🚀🚀🚀
Could you please link me to the cashflow video you did? I could not find it on your channel
Could you make a video talking about your favorite books and which helped you the most❤️ appreciate all ur vids I really look up to you
I do have some book reviews available for some books that helped me out alot early on in my startup phase!
It is an old video, but I will ask anyway. What do I use if I have Amazon and Shopify? Triple Whale is only for Shopify. Thanks for the Video.

Why wouldn't you wanna affect oodie? Dave doesn't know you, why try to keep him getting millions instead of driving those millions to you?
@@AB-wf2js just kidding around Mate my product is different
Best of luck with it!

Hi Davie what could be the reason for dropping sales and increase in low quality FB traffic after 4 days?
i launched a campaign a second time now and it both times it started to go well the first few days but then sales dropped and traffic increases
CVR sometimes at 5% on the good days but then just drops to around 1,5% together with ATC% etc
Im so cofused. What would you do?

Hey @David do you have experience with dropshipping from domestic vendors?
IT's the exact same, except you're reaching out to domestic suppliers to sell their products and profiting the difference in what you sell it for.
Please make video about google ads conversion tracking for shopify please
Check out the Google ads video we did :)
Sir should we use 3pl service from the start of our journey
3PLs would only be considered if you have the money to fund inventory as well as house it in an external warehouse. This will cost more money compared to doing it yourself or shipping it from China as you are paying for the storage, packaging and shipping in the local country.
Do you go for average cogs when it varies from product to product?
If you have a lot of different products, then an average is a good idea, but eventually you will lean towards your hero product.
can you do Ecommerce well as a teenager (14 to be precise) will there be any obstacles that my age will form as a barrier?
Mainly signing up for payment platforms and proving age to access funds will be your biggest issue so might be worth signing up using your parents details if you are willing to go ahead with this.
Hi Davie! I got a question: if you have a product that will work globally, which we are all looking for, right :), how do you ensure the delivery? Eg if you want to send stuff from Australia to EU it takes time bit as well taxes, shipping costs are super high? Sure you van have a 3PL in „every country“ but in the very beginning this just impossible, isn’t it? Hope the question is clear 😂
I house products in 3PL fulfillment centres in countries with the most demand.
Facebook doesn't allow me to advertise my product (weight loss treatment). Is it harder to grow without Facebook and Instagram ads?
You'll need to be careful with facebook policies upon weight loss as there can be false claims made.
Hi Davie, simple question. Do you read or listen to audio books? That question is open to others too.🙄
Big believer in reading books and consuming information.
Can we have a video for beginners
Check out the "How to Build a Million Dollar Brand" Series as that's geared towards beginners!
i do 1 million per month, but chilean pesos that is like a thousand 😥
WOW
Dude, this video is ALREADY going too fast into 10's of millions of dollars. Davie needs to make this video relevant so we can just get to one million, let alone over that. This video needs to be redone. We need a video that caters to folks who want a "How To Launch A One Million Dollar E-Commerse Business."

Could change your location to another in Shopify and get access to Stripe.
Pure gold!

You talk a little too fast, can you put subtitles to help me understand the words better. Love your videos though
You can set the speed of the video to a slower limit if you are considering this further.

What you call MER is what literally everyone calls ROAS
not really - MER is full funnel ROAS. ROAS is generally channel specific.
amazing video that helped me
