For ecommerce owners who want profit and their time back

Profit first. Then freedom. One email a week.

I've partnered with ecommerce brands as they grew from start-ups to $1M+/month. Once a week I will share real examples with real numbers, so you can find your own path to a profitable business that doesn't run your life.

No hype and no guarantees. By signing up you agree to receive weekly emails from me, and you can unsubscribe with one click, any time.

The path has two pillars.

Acquisition and retention are how we get there. Profitability and freedom are why. I'll be straight with you about the numbers, including the ones that go the wrong way.

Pillar one

Profitability

Growth only counts if you get to keep some of it. We track what each new customer costs, what they're worth, and what's left over, and we cut what isn't paying its way.

Pillar two

Freedom

A business that serves your life, not the other way around. Repeat customers, simple systems and clear numbers so your income doesn't depend on you working every hour.

The kind of thing you'll get

Real, trackable results from brands I've partnered with, shared without client names.

Sample issue · Profitability

Cutting ad spend 38% raised profit contribution 37%

We cut campaigns that weren't finding new customers and took a dip in returning orders on purpose. Cost per new customer fell from $66 to $37 and return on ad spend rose from 2.7 to 3.5.

Sample issue · Profitability

Raising store-wide MER from 5.48 to 6.37

Why blended efficiency across every channel, not one channel's ROAS, tells you whether growth is really profitable.

Sample issue · Acquisition

$0 to $100K a month at a 4:1 return

The launch plan for a brand-new store on Google Shopping, with the return tracked from month one.

Sample issue · Acquisition

Doubling sales in six months on a $6K monthly ad budget

Restructuring around targeted acquisition and brand campaigns took a store from $268K to $469K in sales.

Sample issue · Freedom

Know your first touch and your last touch

Matching orders to customer emails separated new buyers from returning ones, so every dollar of budget had one clear job and fewer decisions landed on you.

Sample issue · Freedom

Google Ads at 10:1 driving half of a brand's sales

Year one grew 44%. Over five years, monthly ad revenue went from $125K to $440K, steadily and without constant firefighting.

Hi, I'm Alison Rodeck.

I've partnered with ecommerce brands as they scaled from zero to $1 million a month. I can't promise you a number, because your product, your market and your effort are yours. What I can share is the path that kept showing up: win customers at a cost that pays back, earn their next order, and build so the business doesn't need you every hour.

This newsletter is that path, told plainly, with the numbers, including failures as well as successes, because we learn from both.
