    Finding a Manufacturer

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING QUESTION 
    Appreciate the reply. This is the road I am hopefully headed down now. I got a response from a local manufacturer today who said they could "absolutely" produce my product and asked for the specifications for the prototype. Once I have a prototype, I am going to gauge interest and go from...

    Finding a Manufacturer

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING QUESTION 
    Anyone use Gembah before? For someone like me, creating a custom product with no FIng idea what I'm doing, seems like it would make sense. https://gembah.com/

    Finding a Manufacturer

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING QUESTION 
    Appreciate the response. Any particular platforms you've used in the past? (ie, Alibaba, Maker's Row, ThomasNet, etc?) Or do you just google "manufacturer + (material you need)" ?

    Finding a Manufacturer

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING QUESTION 
    Hey MJ! Appreciate a response from the man himself. I haven't dabbled with AI at all, so I didn't really think of that, but that's a good idea. Thanks

    Finding a Manufacturer

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING QUESTION 
    Curious - what everyone's process for finding a manufacturer is. I am just starting the process of starting a new eCom business and am trying to go from idea to product creation. I've grown a dropshipping T-Shirt business to 30K customers in the past, but have never created my own product...

    Any Digital Marketing Course Recs? Getting back into ECom after 900K business

    MARKETING FTE 
    Any recommendations for digital marketing courses specifically for E-Commerce? Or ways to (re)learn digital marketing in 2021? I grew a sports themed T-Shirt business to 30K customers / 900K in revenue primarily through Facebook ads, but that was in 2016/7 when I could get a click for 5...

I grew a sports themed T-Shirt business to 30K customers / 900K in revenue primarily through Facebook ads, but that was in 2016/7 when I could get a click for 5 cents. The...

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Dude, please......not at all the type of shirts I make. Those would be the 'shitty designs' shirts with 50k likes that i referenced earlier. Those are obviously very lazy and very illegal.

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    My mistake. I misinterpreted what you were saying. I appreciate that. And I agree with you. I think being able to create products that people want is massively important. I know some people love to shit on T-Shirt businesses or whatever, but I just look at it as a product that I can...

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Can't tell if you're mocking me here. A little hard to decipher sarcasm through text. But what's the advice here? I am still creating shirts/trying to get better at the graphic design aspect. But where I'm getting stuck is the marketing....... You can have the best product/shirt in the...

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Ya I mean I personally never really cared how many likes my ads got. Just cared if it was selling or not. But, in my experience, if a product is generating that many likes, that means people like the product....which leads to sales. There is a EXTREMELY strong correlation between...

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Possibly. Have you personally spent $100 on an ad that had 30K likes? Because that's not my experience at all. Any ad that I've ever done that had 30K+ likes generally equated to a lot of profit. Like 10K+ profit. Unless they're buying likes or something I'm not aware of, I tend to think...

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Right. I didn't want to post my ads/website in here (I think that may be frowned upon). I was more trying to see if anyone has had success with social media ads for an ecommerce business. Ideally I could partner with someone that is good with the marketing.

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    I've done that bit. That's kind of how i started out. The problem with that is that it just isn't sustainable/scalable. You can definitely make some money going with that direction, it's just probably not the most time-effective strategy.

    900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Ya dude. I read the book too. I get it. Not saying this is a Fastlane business, which is why I mentioned the lack of control in my original post.........but if I can make 50K/year in additional income reviving this business, I'm not going to be upset with that.
