    First taste of fastlane, goal of 500k sales this year and my plan to get there

    EXECUTION 
    At least you know your competitors and their weaknesses/strengths. Better than having a competitor and not knowing anything about them. People tend to over estimate their competition when they don't know them. Keep it up.

    Rep at a native ad buying network says I need to spend more to see results, true or false?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Just know that the ads/lp's that you find via spy tools are often out of date. That and straight copying ads never works as well as coming up with your own content so it will usually be harder/take longer to get profitable than running your own custom angles for ads/pages. But just starting...

    Rep at a native ad buying network says I need to spend more to see results, true or false?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I try and stay away from offering free advice to noobs anymore as very very few actually listen. BUT so much conflicting good/bad advice even in just this thread - it drives me crazy. For you specifically, your spend of $200 is so insignificant at this point that you can't make hardly any...

    Best way to get affiliates??

    MARKETING 
    So hard for an outsider to answer this about YOUR offer/funnel without more detail. Why not just ask your affiliates if to send more traffic? Find out what's holding them back and HELP them? Would giving them a $2 boost get their EPC's to where they need to be to push 10x more traffic? Maybe...

    In my experience yes. But you can have false negatives if you run you test ads during a period where costs on ads are abnormal or the likes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes - each product get's it own FB page. Run the test under a different brand name if you wish. You shouldn't be doing any super significant amount of sales at this point. Just enough to figure out your rough CPA costs and consumer interest levels. On most of my tests at the moment, most of my...

    EXECUTION 
    Fantastic Job! I am adding this to my list of threads I send to friends and family to show them that no matter the age, they can be successful. Well done! Couple things I'd like to hear from you, Can you detail out: How much time you spent learning about the process before you took real...

    I have. For maybe 3 seconds. Honestly I haven't ever really tried to look for dropshippers for my product, or any for that matter, so don't know that process. My thoughts when going into this was to learn to import. I wanted to control my product (continually evolve it/make it better/control...

    I started testing on FB BEFORE I even got samples. See above answer. Company name doesn't matter. If you do however already have a name in mind, why not use it? I would, that's basically what I do anyhow. Putting a logo on the product shouldn't cost you any extra I'd assume. Also I hope...

    That would be the AG (augmented reality) - that is what I'm waiting for. Tech is already there, just needs built out.

    150k to invest. What would you do?

    EXECUTION 
    I do both affiliate marketing as well as have my own ecom stores and products now that I import/create. Things I quickly handed off that aren't the "money makers" are thinks like handling customer service, shipping, keeping all my Facebook accounts full of activity. That leaves me more time to...

    How to Promote my Affiliate Program ?

    wut? CPA = cost per aquisition. this is not a percentage unless we have more info. ie: I used to have a $50 CPA, but I improved ads and am now doing 50% of that CPA (which would still be a really weird way of just saying $25CPA) STILL - knowing your CPA means nothing if you want us to help...

    150k to invest. What would you do?

    EXECUTION 
    I'll focus on the two you mentioned: Employees - Honestly they are a pain getting started. Seriously. And you will most likely deal with turnover more than you wish, but that's gonna be part of the game. Treat them well to keep them as long as possible. Without knowing your business, I don't...

    Which Skill is the best one actually?

    Any. Really - master any one of those and you will have lots of work/opportunities. It's like asking which is the best ingredient for making cake. No one ingredient is better than the others, they all work together in making cake. Same with all your "skills" for the start-up bro's model. BUT...

    Yes - but that is just Revenue mind you - not profit. Already did a quarter of that per day and saw that it held just fine, no higher CPA costs or anything, just more sales. Just means I'd have to buy a TON of inventory. More than I'm comfortable with at this time. So I'll work up to it. But idk...

    Speaking of making a new product..... I've been reaching out to manufacturers from alibaba like crazy to get quotes on making my new product. So far I have only heard back from one. They quoted me $4,500 to make my mold. Price is fine with me - but puts my first order with a new manufacturer...

    Guess I'll start with an update: Getting things going smoothly now. It's pretty hands off for me at this point. I do have 2 employees managing some of the day to day work on it. Mostly things like keeping content up to date on the FB page and fulfilling orders and dealing with customer...

    Hard to answer this. Traffic is everywhere. FB and IG seem like a good place for this product. But there is always google as well and plenty of other places. What kind of response did you get from your previous attempts at IG and FB and was it paid traffic or organic? The most effective way...
