Here's a polished structure you can use for:
"Building an E-Commerce Brand: Day 796" — this could work as a blog post, YouTube video, Twitter/X thread, LinkedIn post, or newsletter entry:

🛠� Building an E-Commerce Brand: Day 796
796 days in... here's what I've learned:

1️⃣ It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Day 1: Picked a niche

Day 30: Launched first product

Day 90: Hit first $1k month

Day 365: Thought I'd "figured it out" — I hadn't!

Day 796: Still learning, still building

2️⃣ The Power of Compounding
Content compounds — one viral post brings months of sales

Email lists compound — 10 subs/day = 3,650/year

Customer trust compounds — 5-star reviews fuel growth

3️⃣ SEO > Paid Ads (for the long game)
Early on: relied too heavily on Facebook ads

Now: ~60% of sales come from organic search & email marketing

4️⃣ Retention Beats Acquisition
Returning customers = 2–4x LTV

Loyalty programs, SMS marketing, personalized post-purchase flow → 🔑

5️⃣ AI Tools Save Time (but not the vision)
Using AI for:
✅ Product descriptions
✅ Email flows
✅ Ad creatives

BUT: still need a strong brand story & human creativity

6️⃣ It's Never "Done"
796 days = constant iterations

New SKUs, new sales channels (Amazon, TikTok Shop, Pinterest), website refreshes

The game evolves. Adapt or die.

🔥 My Current Focus (Day 796):
✅ Building out YouTube channel
✅ Launching new eco-friendly product line
✅ Testing upsell funnels for higher AOV

🚀 If You're on Day 1 (or 101):
Start messy — launch and learn

Talk to your customers — they'll show you what they want

Play the long game — consistency > perfection
