    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yeah, so, either find a way to differentiate yourself or do something else than SMM Not saying you can't do it, but most people who do this and make actual money got their clients before it was saturated I do manage ads for my clients, and I found them through networking in 2018 in Belgium...

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Problem is that there has been an explosion of shit-tier social media marketing agencies in the past 10 years because of gurus who promoted the "Sell it and learn later" idea, leading to people getting trash results and losing trust

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I would definitely not spend any $ on ads until you have a good offer and know how to talk to your target audience Also, as someone who has bought numerous guru courses and most often been disappointed, I wouldn't recommend following that kind of shit. If someone is selling a lifestyle, this is...

As an eCom owner, that what matters the most to me You can use this: https://trends.builtwith.com/shop/Shopify (right side, you can download a lead list) or just Google "Niche + eCommerce", I used to do this when I was...

    HOT! IDEA 
    08/07/2021: A decisive step I'm currently negotiating with a shipping center, their rates are higher than my current agent, BUT, if I buy the product in bulk, it will cost me way less than what I pay with my agent rn. So, to keep it stupidsimple: Shipping costs would go up, but product costs...

    HOT! IDEA 
    07/02/2021 I contacted logistic centers in China & US to get quotes. US shipping is cheaper than what I expected, but with my shitty margins, it will be too much for my F+S offer. So, here is the potential plan: - I send my most $ products ($40) in a shipping center with a fast delivery time...

    Yeah, been a long road, but I still feel like I'm stuck in the mud I'm currently looking at making my own products (created another thread on that), but it will take some time to get started on this. In the meantime, I'll test other products via dropshipping to see if there is traction, and...

    05/07/2021 I'm going to try totally new products now, with way better margin, to see how it goes. I have samples coming (really hard since I'm in Indonesia, and #1 reason I'll move out soon) and I'm contacting 3PL to see if I can get better shipping rates. I was kinda always afraid of buying...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Yup, definitely agree with that. The initial plan was to use it to build a list (which I did) but with all the flat costs, I realize that it's gonna be hard to do anything Now, it's not all bad, I made a 3 min newsletter 2 days ago for a new F+S product I had, send it and made $5000 in 2 days...

    Should I Launch This Ecommerce Store?

    Yeah, in this case, it's a business model, the business plan is filled with $ prediction that are innacurate But yeah no matter what, testing a MVP > All

    Should I Launch This Ecommerce Store?

    The business plan almost never happens as expected, a Business Model is more appropriated here (Google "business model canva") Actually, the best way to test an idea with a low budget is to make a pre-launch page to see if people could be interested. Ad Landing page explaining the offer &...

    Should I Launch This Ecommerce Store?

    Unless you have something with a unique selling proposition like magicspoon.com, I hardly see how could you make a profit. How do you plan to get traffic? Facebook Ads is definitely not an option here, unless you have a subscription model or if people buy multiple boxes at once

    03/07/2021 $1000 MISTAKE I was bored yesterday, so I sent a newsletter to my list featuring a new product. Long story short, I didn't set up properly the shipping rates and made twice less money than I could have (around $1000). Hopefully, I only sent it to 30% of my list before realizing it...

    Creating my own product in eCommerce

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Roadblock: So, if I start the funnel, there is no going back. The problem is that I have absolutely ZERO experience in manufacturing. I have no idea if my product would cost $10 or $30, but I need to indicate a price for the funnel to work. So, feel like I'm a dead end here. The program I'm...

    What is the difference between cost per click and pay per click?
