💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎

The best 5 tweets i saw this week 💎

Let's dive in:

#1 💎

A website that just shows you company logos over 1.1 million monthly visitors and 3 million pageviews.
Probably doesn't do 7-figures a year but still a very low workload type of website.

I collect examples of niche businesses that make millions the way some dorks collect stamps. (both are dorky, but at least mine makes me money)

#2 💎

Girl Scout Cookies has to be one of the strongest brands ever:
- A+ product that sells itself
- Genuine scarcity (only available a few months)
- Tradition & solid mission
Conv. rate is ~40%. My daughter will have a rude awakening trying to sell other items in the future! 🍪🍪

Agreed, Girl Scouts is like the 8th wonder of the world. $800M in annual sales. That’s half of oreo, and they didn’t get cancelled for using child labor!

#3 💎

i failed pretty hard at my first startup--it sucked!--and am doing pretty well on my second.
the thing i wish someone told me during the first one is that no one else thinks about your failures as much as you do, and that as long as don't psych yourself out you can try again.

“No one thinks about your failures as much as you do” - so true.

#4 💎

ever heard of one of the luckiest dudes ever, lou pai?
lou, an enron exec, loved strippers, got one pregnant—his wife divorced, he got fired, & sold all stock.
w/o strippers, he would’ve been $250m poorer & in prison.
instead lou is one of the largest landowners in colorado. https://

OK I had to research this…here’s what happened:

Wife finds out he had an affair with stripper, files for divorce
He’s forced to sell $250m of enron stock
Enron collapses a few months later
He’s not at risk of insider trading, because divorce story
The lesson, fall in love with a stripper

#5 💎

the craziest thing to me is that gonorrhea would’ve been a perfect brand name for diarrhea medication.
