In November 2025, a peptide store started Google Ads with us. Month one, they spent $7,000 and made $4,500 back. The founder almost pulled the budget. I told him to hold.
Six months later, that same brand hit $600,000 in a single month. $20,000 a day from Google alone.
Since then, we've worked with almost a dozen peptide stores. I've watched ad accounts get banned overnight. I've watched payment processors shut clients down with no warning - Stripe pulled one of our clients just last week. I even fired clients who refused to fix their websites.
So if you asked me today: if you had to build a peptide store from zero and scale it to $600,000 per month again, what would you do differently? This episode is my honest answer.
