This feels like a sign that today calls for a celebration post. A few things happening here: 1. Welcome to everyone new 👋 If you're one of our newest members (hi, 600 of you!), drop a comment below and introduce yourself. Tell us a little about your journey, where you're at right now, and what you're hoping to get out of this group. We genuinely want to know you. 2. Have you found the accountability thread yet? If not, you are missing out. We post daily, there's a super simple template so you're never staring at a blank box wondering what to say, and it's the best way to stay motivated and actually hold yourself accountable. Plus you get to riff off other people's wins and struggles. Honestly, struggling together beats struggling alone every time. 3. A little honesty about the 30 Day Accelerator I know I've mentioned this a few times now and you're probably wondering where it is. Here's the truth: I'd rather take the time to build it right than rush it out and have it be just another course that overwhelms you with too much information, or worse, the wrong information. There's so much noise out there about how to grow on Amazon, and I refuse to add to it. My goal is for this to be the one resource you actually need, simple, efficient, and built for people who are already busy and just want results without wasting time. The first two days are done and I'm really proud of them. Next week I'm carving out time to keep building, and I'm adding a back office tour too, because so many of you have told me you're not sure where to find things or what should even be set up. 4. Birthday wishlist 🎁 Since it's my birthday and birthdays are about giving (not just getting), I want to give back to you. Drop a comment below: what's a tool, resource, or lesson you really wish you had access to? Your suggestions are genuinely going to shape what goes into this accelerator, so don't hold back. And just a reminder on where to bring your questions. You can always DM me and I will answer every single one, though depending how busy things get that might take me a little longer. The added bonus of posting in the main feed instead is you get the opinions and real experiences of everyone else here too, which is genuinely some of the most valuable advice you'll find.

"Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy. Ignore status games, focus on creating wealth." -Naval Ravikant

That might be one of the biggest missed opportunities in e-commerce today. Pinterest isn't just another social media platform. It's one of the world's largest visual search engines, where people actively search for products, ideas, and inspiration before making a purchase. People open Instagram to scroll.They open TikTok to be entertained.They use Google to find answers. But they open Pinterest to discover, plan, and buy. That's exactly why it's so valuable for e-commerce. 📌 Pinterest has 631 million monthly active users. 📌 96% of the top searches on Pinterest are unbranded. People aren't searching for "Nike shoes." They're searching for: • Minimal desk setup• Adventure gift ideas• Wedding inspiration• Coffee tattoo• Travel accessories That creates an incredible opportunity for small brands. Because the customer hasn't decided what brand to buy yet. Pinterest can place your products right next to the biggest brands in the world. And it gets even better... 📌 80% of weekly Pinterest users say the platform inspires them to shop. 📌 Millions of users come to Pinterest specifically to discover new brands and products. 📌 Pinterest processes over 80 billion searches every month, with a significant share driven by commercial intent. Users aren't just consuming content. They're actively looking for their next purchase. That's why Pinterest traffic often has advantages over other platforms: • Longer-lasting than Instagram.• More sustainable than TikTok.• Higher purchase intent than most social platforms. An Instagram Reel may disappear after 48 hours. A Pinterest Pin can continue generating traffic for months—or even years. In my opinion, Pinterest will be one of the biggest organic traffic opportunities over the next five years. If you sell on Etsy, Shopify, Amazon Handmade, or your own website... Ignoring Pinterest means leaving free, high-intent traffic on the table. People aren't just scrolling anymore. They're searching.They're planning.They're saving.And they're buying.

Prime Days are this week. And if you are anything like most people, you are already planning to shop, in fact you have probably been waiting all month to make some of those preplanned purchases. And Amazon could be covering a lot of that spending for you. That is genuinely possible inside this community. And I want to take a minute to remind you why this group exists and why it might be exactly what you need right now - even if you feel like you do not have an ounce of extra time or energy to give to anything new. Let's start with the numbers, because they blow my mind every time I really think about it. Amazon moves over $2 billion in revenue every single day. And it pays out somewhere between $20 to $60 million a day to influencers - for what are often just simple, casual videos of people using products they already own. And that is not even the whole picture. Beyond the commissions, there are free products. Brands sending you things you were already going to buy anyway - sheets, kitchen gadgets, things around your house you have been meaning to replace but never quite justified the cost of. The online spending industry is a multi trillion dollar business. That money is being spent regardless of whether you are involved or not. All you have to do is get your videos and your links between the consumer and the checkout button. Now if you are reading this thinking "I am too late for this Prime Days" - you might be right. But that is not actually the moment that matters most. Q4 is coming. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the entire holiday shopping season make up the single biggest spending event in the world, and it lasts nearly three months. That is the real opportunity. And the work that makes Q4 successful starts now, not in November. I saw a post recently from someone in this space describing exactly this. Their last Prime Day brought their first truly big month - multiple days over $1,000, one even close to $1,300. What made it special was not the money itself. It was realizing that all the videos they had quietly created over months were suddenly working together at the same time.
