Before we jump into today's episode, just a quick reminder, if you enjoy the show, subscribe and share it with at least one friend. We don't run ads and rely solely on organic growth, so your support means the world.

In this episode, I'm going over how we scale ecommerce brands to $10M step-by-step. This includes a three-stage framework that we use for this exact process. The first stage involves auditing marketing channels, such as email, Google Ads, and Meta Ads, to find low-hanging fruit. The second stage focuses on conversion rate optimization (CRO) through deep market research and AB testing. The third stage involves diversifying marketing channels, such as adding Google Ads or YouTube videos, after achieving benchmarks in other areas.

💡 What You'll Learn:

• The three-stage framework we use for scaling e-commerce brands from six to eight figures
• The importance of identifying and addressing structural and systemic issues rather than just focusing on traffic or conversion problems
• The importance of logistics and product manufacturing in achieving long-term growth

If you're an e-commerce brand looking to scale to 8 figures, this episode is exactly for you. Whether you’re currently doing six figures or seven, this is the exact playbook you’d need to help you get there in 2026!

Before we jump into today's conversation, just a quick reminder, if you enjoy the show, subscribe and share it with at least one friend. We don't run ads and rely solely on organic growth, so your support means the world.

In this episode, I'm pulling up the actual dashboard and walking you through the exact SMS strategy we used to generate $760,000 in three months for a home decor brand - starting from zero.

We're talking $152,000 from automations alone in January, 16% conversion rates on flows, and campaigns that printed $24,000 in a single month.

This wasn't a small brand figuring things out. This was a 7-figure brand doing over a million per month that had zero SMS infrastructure and contacted us in late October - right before Black Friday.

It's not about blasting your list with promotions. It's about building the automation foundation first, layering strategic campaigns on top, and coordinating both channels so they grow together instead of competing.

This is a full case study breakdown with real numbers, real flows, and real takeaways you can implement.

💡 What You'll Learn:

• The exact five SMS automations that generated $152,000 in January alone (and why the Mobile popup flow crushed $119K)
• How we grew SMS from zero to 19% of total revenue in three months without killing email performance
• The campaign strategy that added $24,000 per month: 10 campaigns monthly with SMS-exclusive offers to train engagement
• Why automations drove 86% of SMS revenue while campaigns drove 14% - and what this means for your priority order
• The flash sale model that generated $93,000 in 48-72 hours using discount ladders and coordinated email/SMS urgency
• How to coordinate SMS and email as complementary channels instead of competitors

If you're a 7-figure brand with strong email revenue but no SMS strategy, or if you're worried SMS will harm your existing channels, this episode shows you exactly how to build it the right way.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact Meta ad structure that can increase your ROAS in the next 30 days.

Most brands are bleeding money because they're running one or two campaigns with everything thrown together - scaling ads, testing ads, retargeting, and retention all mixed up in the same place.

It's not about spending more. It's not about creative volume alone.

It's about structure - separating what works from what's being tested, and giving Meta the framework to scale your winners without killing them with poor performers.

This is a tactical, step-by-step breakdown of the four-campaign structure we use to maximize profitability.

💡 What You'll Learn:

• The four essential campaign types every Meta ad account needs (and why most brands only use one or two)
• How to properly structure your scaling campaign to spend 60-70% of your budget profitably
• The graduation system: how to test new creatives in prospecting and move winners to scaling every week
• Why retargeting and retention campaigns need to be separate (and the conversion rate differences that prove it)
• How to do micro-optimizations by platform, placement, and day of week to squeeze 20-30% more ROI
• The 80/20 principle applied to Meta ads - bet big on what works, test small on everything else

If you're spending on Meta but not seeing consistent ROAS, or if you're stuck trying to scale without a clear testing-to-scaling system, this episode gives you the exact structure to fix it.
