The most important advice I can give an e-commerce business owner is this: know your numbers BEFORE you run paid traffic.
.
Even at a high level agency like Tier 11 we have customers coming in who still don’t know their numbers. At least not as well as they SHOULD.
.
For example, a business owner might tell us their goal is a 3x ROAS (Return On Ad Spend), or a $50 CPA (Cost per Acquisition). But that’s not enough…
.
To be a complete goal for paid traffic we need to know the volume.
.
Do you want to do 3x ROAS at $1,000 / month ad spend? $100,000 / month ad spend? More?
.
It makes a huge difference as to just how realistic your goal is and how a good digital marketer goes about achieving it.
.
ESPECIALLY if you’re talking about Facebook traffic. I won’t get into all the juicy algorithm details in this post, but let’s just say the volume is a huge part of it. .
So if you’ve got an e-commerce business and you’re running paid traffic, know your numbers inside and out…
.
And if you need some help figuring that out, no worries, we can do that too 🙂

Want to be a great leader? Practice making decisions and sticking with them. Here’s a trivial, but good example of what happened to me recently…
.
I sleep with a CPAP machine (and I love it). Recently as I was getting into bed I turned it on and instead of the normal soft whir of the motor I just heard this WOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH instead…
.
Feeling around in the dark I felt a blast of air and discovered the hose was ripped!
.
While there was nothing I could do about it that night, I had to find a way to get a new hose the next day. Naturally I turned to Amazon…
.
Amazon Prime Now didn’t have anything to help me. Amazon Prime could only do “next day.” I needed it TODAY!
.
I found some stores nearby that I could go get a new hose…
.
Relaxed with my new options I went about my work day knowing the problem would be solved in short order. There was just one problem…
.
I never made time in my schedule to go get the hose. And when I remembered it that evening I had missed my opportunity to have Amazon bring me one the next day.
.
In the end I ended up ordering from Amazon anyway, but a day later than I could have.
.
Here’s the deal: Making decisions is crucial to your success. Even small ones like the one in this story. Even the not 100% perfect decision made at the right time is WAY better than not making a decision.
.
My decision in this example was to wait… To let the day happen to me. As a result I was further behind then if I’d just executed on the less than optimal decision and freed myself up to tackle other things in my day.
.
Go get ’em!
