    [AMA] SEO and Digital Marketing in 2016

    HOT! MARKETING 
    @beatgoezon Another great question! To answer this: I’ll go through each of the terms that you mentioned and show how I've seen the tactics change in the past few years: Backlinking Backlinking used to be all about quantity. Just a few years back, you could write up one article, spin it...

    [AMA] SEO and Digital Marketing in 2016

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Absolutely, a great question to start things off! I'll begin by answering your second question: 3 Key Ingredients to Ranking: 1) Quality Content Content, content, content. I cannot stress this enough. Great content is in my opinion the most important ranking factor for a website. Now by...

    [AMA] SEO and Digital Marketing in 2016

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I learned the art of SEO for the first time over 10 years ago. Since then, I have spent significant time as a freelancer, and currently work for a local Digital Marketing Agency. While there is an abundance of information on importing/starting a business, I have not come across much about SEO...

    Is this quote for shipping I was given too high?

    Ditto - I think it is a reasonable price. Generally, I pay around $25-$75 USD shipping for samples (depending on the product size/weight), so this quote looks good.

    Sure HyperFocus! This is very similar to the questions that I ask & the process that I use. (I quoted the exact verbiage that I use below) But do know that this process is not foolproof - as Walter mentioned as well. This is simply what has worked for me thus far. These questions ultimately...

    Building A New Product Brand From Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I'm feeling the love...;) For reals though - this is my calculation based off of a very small amount of sales data, so there is definitely room for error. For sure, that's my goal. And yes, haha, I do understand that you are trying to help out & I appreciate it. Although this business is...

    EXECUTION 
    Once again, I understand what you are getting at. But the niche is SO small, that I already own a huge portion of the market on Amazon after just launching. (There is a very small amount of competition for these products) 25% of the market on Amazon translates to $1675 of profit/month (Which is...

    EXECUTION 
    I definitely see what you are getting at here - focusing on a small amount of products, doing it right, and selling the heck out of them instead of just trying to sell as many products at possible. I completely agree with you. One of the clients that I worked with at my Digital Marketing Agency...

    EXECUTION 
    @Walter Hay Thanks for your input - I respect your knowledge on importing/exporting, and have thoroughly enjoyed your threads. I do agree with you on this, as the methods I use do not completely ensure my protection from scammers. I mentioned in my first post that there is some risk involved...

    EXECUTION 
    Awesome stuff! I actually don't have the packaging manufacturer assemble and package my products. They simply hot stamp my PDF logo design on a box (box is a custom color/size to my specifications) and send me the packaging in bulk. I then take the packaging and assemble it myself. It's a bit...

    I Failed at Importing Even Though It Makes $100k/mo

    HOT! SOURCING 
    Really great post! As a e-commerce business owner in the early stages, I too have this big-time goal. I am surrounded by entrepreneurs who have been successful, but haven't necessarily taken their business to the "next level". I am confident that my business model will become successful, but I'm...

    Building A New Product Brand From Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    No, I generally ask this in my 2 or 3 e-mail to the supplier. I start off by introducing myself & my business, then tell the supplier the product specifications that I am wanting to source and ask if they can produce that exact product. They tend to reply with whether or not they can supply the...

    I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! I am in the starting stages of my business, so no, I'm definitely not doing $1 Million is sales right now. That being said, I 100% believe in my business model & believe that it will be successful in the future. To clarify - I did not just pick a product...

    EXECUTION 
    Sure thing! My system is essentially a list of questions I ask a potential supplier. When dealing with Alibaba, I only contact "Gold Suppliers", although this basically means nothing in regards to credibility since anyone can achieve this status in they have the money to do so. It does weed out...

    EXECUTION 
    I do understand that it is difficult to convert customers from Amazon to an e-commerce website, but that is not exactly what I'm hoping to do. I am planning on adding a coupon code of sorts eventually to my FBA products in efforts to migrate a few customers to my website. But ultimately, I will...

    Building A New Product Brand From Scratch

    For years I was intrigued by the idea of starting an importing business. I had an idea of where to get started, but decided not to pull the trigger until this past summer. In this thread I'll be sharing my progress, goals, achievements, and failures, and through it all I hope you can gain...

    Made $6,900 Importing From China and Reselling on eBay.

    SOURCING AMA 
    Hey man, thanks for doing this AMA. It seems like you had some initial success with importing, so I'm curious to know why you gave it up completely? I understand that you enjoy the coaching aspect of starting a new importing business, but why not do some coaching and build your importing...
