The private forum for 7- and 8-figure eCom owners.
Private, moderated, and made up entirely of experienced eCom owners. Post a problem and you'll have several detailed replies the same day, from people with nothing to sell you.
Real names. Real numbers. No vendors. No pitching.
$199 a month, 10x return guaranteed. Not at seven figures yet? Start here instead.
Real threads from the past year.
Plus a private board for 8- and 9-figure owners.
More in this category inside. These are the most-discussed public threads from the past year.
Titles are real. Everything else stays inside: members post under real names and real businesses, and the forum is closed to the public and to search engines.
How we're different from other groups.

AI is replacing the people you used to learn from online with generic slop. At eComFuel, AI-generated content is banned. Humans only, thank you.
But pointed at 50,000 owner discussions going back 13 years, AI becomes incredibly useful. Instead of digging manually for hours (days?), our AI search reads all of it and hands you the human-tested answer.
Members handle this three ways: model cash at the PO level rather than the bank balance, negotiate supplier terms early, and line up credit before you need it.
The recurring mistake is reading the bank balance as available cash when the next three POs are already committed against it. Read the full answer

After migrating to Shopify we saw a significant drop in traffic. I posted the problem on the forums and within minutes we had dozens of knowledgeable suggestions which helped us fix it. eComFuel saved us tens of thousands in potentially lost sales.
First place I come for questions. It's 95% likely that if I've thought of something, or found a problem, someone on the forum has already been there and got the t-shirt.
I love being able to ask more or less any business question and within hours, if not minutes, have a half dozen solid answers from others who've been through the same thing.
There's so much value in having discussions with peers and operators versus being pitched incessantly by SaaS companies and agencies.
Five rules. All enforced.
The forum is only as good as the people in it and the standards they're held to. These aren't aspirations, they're the reason it works.
- Real names, real businesses. Everyone knows who they're talking to.
- Seven figures to enter. Every member owns a business doing $1M or more. No vendors, no beginners.
- No pitching. Not softly, not "just sharing a resource."
- Everyone contributes, and the whole room is better for it.
- No politics, no piling on. Our members disagree plenty, but are reasonable doing it.
The forum is the core. Here's everything around it.

A few times a month, Andrew sends what the community is working through: the trends worth knowing about, the numbers behind them, and the lessons members were generous enough to share. Plus notes on building a business that leaves room for a life.
What happens in the forum stays in the forum. Andrew writes about the patterns and the lessons, never about a member's business without their say-so.
