How I Built A $10,000,000/Yr Ecom Team (Hiring Guide)

[@Ecom.Charles]

That video was really full of value! Tysm ! For a future video idea: You could do the same you just did with all the system (Slack channels, creatives system/tracking, how you operate etc...) you are using for 10-50k/month / 100k+ / month... just like you did for Team building in this vids. That would really be cool!

[@ecomwithfrederik]

This would be an amazing video. Good comment bro

Will do, great idea

Boom, 20k day yesterday boss, and this video is literally exactly what I need

[@TimpanoDante]

Congrats on the $20k day, this should help scale you further

[@wiz7215]

I needed this, currently at 170k per month without an editor or content strategist, just VA and costumer support rep, this will be extremely helpful.

[@noneof5892]

Bro u need to hire an editor + a content strategist ASAP lol. Is this just one month 170k? Or peak? Or consistent for 3-4 months now?

[@wiz7215]

@@noneof5892 Last 3 months were 90k+, I didnt hire anyone because of shopify holds and reserves, but will do now.

Great video again bro 👏 Keep it up! I just have 1 question for you What do mean by “content briefs” ?

[@TimpanoDante]

The "brief" is the instructions you are giving the content creator to follow

[@Lemuxy.]

so much sauce

[@noneof5892]

Exactly the f***king content / information ecommerce entrepreneurs need bro. Appreciate you frfr 🫡

[@Xivi1337]

Commenting to watch this tomorrow morning. This is a gold mine because I am facing this EXACT hiring issue. Btw Dante, that camera is sick. What camera have you been using recently? Or is this a new one?

[@TimpanoDante]

This is my iphone 14 lol

[@mr.dontgetclapped9251]

Great video Dante. Would love to know how many briefs are you getting the creative strategist to make and what is a good initial starting salary for such a job? Thank you in advance

[@TimpanoDante]

Salary depends on years of experience and where they are located so it varies a lot. In regards to the number of briefs they are making 12/week currently

[@AngryHomer123]

Hi Dante, great video as always! Do you have any recommendation for Meta agency ad accounts? Or do you run on your own ones?

[@TimpanoDante]

I don't, I just use my own

[@AngryHomer123]

@@TimpanoDante Crazy, how do you manage do keep your ad account open? Do you work with insiders?

[@marchksz]

Yo bro thanks for this amazing content! Keep it up. Just a quick one; is your creative strategist copywriter as well? Is he performing market research too? Thanks in advance

[@TimpanoDante]

He does it all & no he isn't a copywriter by trade, but its not hard to train someone on copywriting

[@marchksz]

@@TimpanoDante thanks bro

[@L-smith]

Fire content, subscribed! How do you estimate the salary for the creative strategist? Could you provide specifics and range? Thank you man!

[@TimpanoDante]

I can't because it depends on where you are hiring them, what country, level experience etc. it varies

[@kevintrol591]

Question : Is what you refer to as a “concept” simply a different way to create an ad? For example, does it include various ad types, such as using a mashup UGC format versus an interview ad format, or educational content ads versus customer success story ads? Are these considered different angles or concepts, focusing on the same content but presented in different ways? Or on the other hand , we consider marketing angles , targeting different market segments within the same for example weight loss product, such as a meal replacement shake, can we create ads with distinct angles or concepts, like: 1. Concept 1: Ads aimed at busy professionals who need convenient meal options to fit into their hectic schedules. 2. Concept 2: Ads targeting fitness enthusiasts looking for a post-workout recovery shake that supports weight loss.

[@TimpanoDante]

Yes 100% you got it, concepts/angles can be very broad or super specific. You just start testing more broad as you don't know what works yet

[@kevintrol591]

@@TimpanoDante thanks man appreciate

[@kevintrol591]

In launching our first concept, we’re taking bold, strategic steps beyond minor tweaks like changing hooks or B-roll. Instead of simply adjusting angles, we’re looking at how our top competitor has refined and scaled their concept through significant, iterative improvements. They’ve focused on increasing efficiency by scaling the same concept while refining it over time, and we plan to copy the same-replicating their concept as a foundation and making better, more effective videos, even incorporating some of their older, still-successful approaches because they still running olds winners . With that in mind, how much we can innovate depends on the concept itself. Here’s a more concise question: How do we identify and maximize opportunities for “big swings” within a concept to make it stand out without losing the core that’s proven successful?

[@penkolichev4227]

Hey Dante, what salary or hourly rate do you recommend for a video editor? Thank you for the huge value!

[@TimpanoDante]

Depends on where you are hiring them & experience. If from overseas $10-$12/hr

[@MrSuperHanson]

Would you ever use a creative strategy agency?

[@TimpanoDante]

Yeah, but would eventually bring it in house

[@garrysingh8387]

How you guys handling taxes? I am getting money from shopify (like $2k to 4k) every day. Haven’t paid a single penny to anyone. No idea where to pay tax and how?

[@TimpanoDante]

Find an accountant and bookkeeper

[@marcusbackhaus1807]

How much are you paying for a creative strategist? I'm currently in the process of hiring someone part-time for that role but the hourly seems to be all over the place.

[@TimpanoDante]

Really depends on how much experience they have and where they are located so it varies a lot

[@marcusbackhaus1807]

@@TimpanoDante Yeah. Where did you hire from? I'm currently only looking at first-world countries. EG USA, UK, Scandinavia, etc. I'm not sure if that is a dumb decision to only look there.
