@realjossaustin: I spent just over R100,000 on ads to generate R1.2M in revenue in the last 30 days. But here’s the part nobody talks about… Most brands think scaling is about spending MORE money. It’s not. The brands that scale profitably usually do 3 things better than everyone else: • They lower their customer acquisition cost • They increase average order value • They fix the leaks most people never even notice Because if you can buy a customer for R150 and make R700 back consistently, scaling becomes a simple math equation, not luck. Most people look at a Shopify dashboard and only focus on revenue. The real question is: How much did it cost to generate that revenue? That one difference is why some brands scale… and others burn cash trying to look successful. Read that again.
