If your business solves the same problem as everyone else, has the same solution as everyone else, and uses the same language as everyone else, then you're a commodity. Find a non-obvious solution to an obvious problem and you'll win more business at a better price point.

Such a nice perspective! 💯 It follows the same belief that we have in referral marketing: you're probably surrounded by at least 1 person who needs the same product/service you just bought. And now your recommendation can help bring the same joy or satisfaction to them!🤗
Your target audience is likely the person you were a couple years ago. You had a problem or a dream. You learned how to solve or accomplish it. That transformed you. Your creations can now help others make that same transformation. That creates value.
Too many entrepreneurs are selling products or services for problems they haven't validated as painful. The more existential the pain, the more people buy.

eCommerce Pro Tip: Invest in creating useful and relevant CONTENT -- blog posts, product copy, UGC, how-tos, product demos, unboxings, customer feedback. Aside from helping you with SEO, content will also show you're a legit eCommerce brand in a sea of online sellers.

Most brands can't help themselves. When revenue slows, they think 'How can I increase the number of new visitors?" Rather than asking, 'How can I sell more to the visitors I already have?' New acquisition is always harder and less profitable. Optimize BEFORE you maximize.

User Generated Content still works. The trick is keeping it as authentic and unscripted as possible. The intensely fake and scripted UGC you're seeing on TikTok isn't converting as well as you think. Actual fans of the product speaking about it casually is.

Companies that obsess over their customers achieve product-market-fit in 1/2 the time of those that obsess over their competitors. If you're looking for clarity, start with your customers.

Ten years ago I generated ~$5M in revenue over the four days between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. High-fives! Only later in December did I realize we *lost* money over that time period. DOH! Here's the mistake I made and how you can avoid it:

Shopify's admin experience is getting an upgrade! We've consolidated Shopify’s admin domains under a single domain admin.shopify.com to reduce page load times. Apps and themes will need to be updated to fit within this new admin domain. Here is what you'll need to do 👇
