Does anyone have an MRR model going on? If so which software/plugin do you use for monthly subscribers? (Should be compatible with Shopify)

We're using FIveX. Helium is too complicated (IMO) and Boloo is whack (IMO). FiveX allows you to also connect Shopify, Kaufland & many more marketplaces. It gives you control per country for Amazon. It's a bit on the expensive side, but than again, how much is your time worth?

We're not really worried about not getting results. We have an innovative product and not really any competitors (not any serious ones). Just hesitant if we should double down on one country or go for a strategy as you proposed: test & try out a few.

Hi all! We're very eager to start scaling poopy.co into other European countries. What's your guys' take on this. I hear a German customer is very different from a Dutch customer.

Than again the Swedish e-com market should be 'easier' than the Dutch one.

What was the first country you guys scaled to and what were some of the bottlenecks you encountered?

Anyone here has experience running pre-orders? We're gonna be sold-out throughout January (initially only for 10 days but all our containers have endured severe delay so no stock before feb 1st). Our product is relatively high ticket (250eu). Would giving a shit ton of accessoires work better than providing a financial discount? If anyone has experience with running meta ads specifically for pre-orders pls hit me up.

Our marketeers have played around with it, as have I. I wasn't too keen on the output yet to use it for marketing purposes. Last time we used it was about 4.5 months ago though and the AI's output is developing rapidly so we might give it a shot next year and see if it had improved.

We had some crazy AI script ideas but the AI just wasn't there yet.

I think for our niche there's not enough training data yet to get the things we want out of it. But indeed maybe for @Kasper - LABFRESH in the clothing niche it could work out better.

AI is still having trouble generating proper high realistic animals. It's just not there yet.

Hi all! I'm @Elyas Ghafour, CEO/Co-founder of Poopy (www.poopy.co). [Netherlands based]

We're redefining cat care by technology that takes care of your cat but in the meanwhile also gives you back time and gives the cats a better life. We're on track to do €1M in revenue in our first year without having run ads.

Apart from work I'm in love with climbing. It combines problem solving, courage and risk assessment all in one sport. Just finished a climbing trip this weekend in Yangshuo (China).

Looking forward to getting to know you all better and contributing to the community (and of course learning from it) :)
