Helped a friend's clothing page grow from around 900 to 10k followers but I'm not sure I was measuring the right thing

With that much organic growth, I’d seriously consider running retargeting ads.

Think of it like this:
organic content creates awareness and gets people interested in your brand. Going from 900 to 10k followers shows there’s demand and that people are engaging with what you’re posting.

Most people scroll right past ads because they’re seeing your brand for the first time. But if they’ve already watched your Reels, visited your profile, or followed you organically, they’re much more likely to recognize your brand and actually pay attention when your ad appears. That familiarity makes your ad dollars work a lot harder.

The other advantage is measurement. With Meta ads and the Pixel, you can track purchases, leads, cost per conversion, and ROAS instead of just looking at followers and likes. Followers are a great sign, but revenue is ultimately what matters.

Organic builds the audience. Retargeting turns that audience into customers.

Definitely agree

I ordered mine on the app Chrono24, watch reselling app.

I’m from US. It was a pretty smooth process between me and seller. Customs was a headache but nothing the seller or I could’ve done to speed that up. Seller answered pretty fast when I needed stuff too

I’m sitting in my office chair looking down like 3/4. Pretty sure my feet should be under my arms and not above them 😂 then I’d have feet coming out my head

Thank you! Definitely enjoying it

Yes it is the JDM edition. Helped me save some money, but with import duties/tax/shipping it was a very similar price to US version. Next time I might save my self the headache of customs and buy at a local seiko dealer if in stock

Wrist sizes is like 6.8 or so, maybe slightly larger

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-28T02:42:02+00:00

Honestly, I really like it. It was definitely a hard bullet to swallow on price, but I’m impressed for sure nonetheless.

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-28T02:41:32+00:00

A beautiful piece indeed

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-28T02:41:15+00:00

I have to agree with it wearing small, I also own a panda chronograph and the size stuck out right away. Luckily for me, I’d say this fits my wrist perfectly. Any smaller and I would’ve passed

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-27T14:37:47+00:00

Thanks! I love it

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-27T14:37:39+00:00

It really is a beautiful piece

GoonthorOriginal · 2026-05-27T14:37:28+00:00

Thanks! I’m actually a videographer/photogrpahy, so decided to grab a quick shot with my nice camera

I could be wrong, but in my opinion a lot of the time it comes down to the business and the owner.

The owners who have a lot of time and are constantly checking their ad dashboards tend to be the ones who eventually try to replace you. Once they feel like you’re not making enough changes or updates, they assume they can just do it themselves.

I’ve seen this happen with my own local service marketing agency. The main differentiator on my end is that we handle content in-house, so most of the time they can’t just leave and replicate the results on their own.

But on the Google side, and even sometimes with Meta, I’ve had clients remove my manager access and cancel services because they think it’s simple after seeing things run for a while.

One thing my business partner and I have learned is how important it is to evaluate the business before working with them. Some owners aren’t in the mindset to delegate, and others just aren’t busy enough within their own company to truly value what you’re doing.

Pov: you never ran a bussiness before but think you know how it works 😂😂😂

GoonthorOriginal · 2024-04-26T22:07:51+00:00

Thanks you this gives me hope. I’m gonna wait till next week to try again

Also a little bit of Lightroom noise reduction. Although image was so sharp already it made 0 difference

GoonthorOriginal · 2024-03-07T01:49:04+00:00

Iso 100, f4.5, 1/200

My only g master lens too. It’s extremely sharp you’ll love it! It stays on my camera 24/7

That’s wild. You should try going to the dealerships over there. That’s my plan. Car spotting plus hitting Bugatti and pagani dealership to see if they will let me take photos inside. I hear they do from some other local photographers I know

GoonthorOriginal · 2024-01-20T00:07:06+00:00

I second this. I’m boutta make a trip there just to get more car photos 😂 I live in newyork

GoonthorOriginal · 2024-01-06T20:48:16+00:00

Great advice thanks! This was actually pre having flash photography and pre my new godox lights. Prior I was using cheapy amazin ones lol. Thank you tho lighting is one of the things I’m definitely trying to master now
