    EXECUTION 
    I followed up with my waitlist today and closed one $90 sale this is Day 3 of the launch total of 4 for $90 , 1 for $49. A few others said they plan to buy but just got busy. I’ve been having real conversations and asking what’s holding them back. So far, the main reasons have been a mix of...

    E-Commerce: Stationary Planner For Women

    EXECUTION 
    I ran the numbers, and to fully cover everything, I’d need around 166 pre-orders for $90. Right now, I’ve only had 3 at the $90 price point. I’m thinking of reaching out to those who already ordered and just having a conversation—asking what made them buy, whether they’re stay-at-home wives...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you. I just hired a designer to design the landing page to reach the goal of 11/10. I will be sticking with the Christian wives niche. Should I continue running ads to waitlist then presell more before I manufacture or start the manufacture process now? My manufacturer lead time is 35...

    E-Commerce: Stationary Planner For Women

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, I think so too. Showing them the value that it can bring is what I’ve been intentionally trying to do especially on my Instagram or other social media, but I think I still need to improve on that or my target audience just don’t see as valuable.

    EXECUTION 
    Yep Shipping is confusing, I also didn't mention any features, ie Premium Cactus leather, Thick paper. etc. I took some time yesterday to reassess everything, and I realized something important my target audience probably needs a lower price point (one of 3 objections I know) than what I was...

    There is not much to hiring a VA. Just like hiring any other employee, but easier. 1. Use tripwires in your job posts, 2. screen heavily detailed oriented people, have them do some task live on the interview. Role play a real life work scenario. 3. Alot of them don't like being paid via...
