    I'd kill for some of your help. Sales declined :/

    MARKETING 
    You should. Sounds like you already did and it went well in a way. as for the dip in sales - it happens, get used to it. Ups and downs like crazy. I have no idea what lightroom is and didn't care to google it. But I did go to your site. I wouldn't send traffic to your homepage. Make a...

    Is this a valid idea? Amazon Affiliate Trades

    IDEA 
    Not sure if amazon would allow this or not. Check the TOS for the amazon affiliates - that'll tell you right quick. They could call this incentivized traffic - so look for that verbiage or something similar.

    Twitter on the Deathwatch

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I fully understand this, but I also know the potential the Twitter CAN be. If revamped - or even creating a complimentary second brand that is fully integrated with twitter itself, they can become the go-to news platform. Those of you who have read Gary V's book, "Crush it", know what I'm...

    Twitter on the Deathwatch

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't personally know anyone still actually using Twitter. They didn't master anything. They are celebrities with a following -On EVERY platform. FWIW - from a marketers perspective, we know the type of idiots who follows certain celebs and do whatever they say (or at least what the...

    Ironic... I was just at a Pita Pit today picking up food for my wife for lunch today. The employee who took my order and payment started talking to the guy preparing my food as he was asking me what I would like on the pita.. She complained loud enough for everyone there to hear how she is...

    From Affiliate Marketing To Importing And Ecommerce

    MARKETING 
    Sure you can. Margins and payout are quite different tho. You can have better margins (higher ROI) on a 15 cent payout than a $500 payout sometimes. But if you are asking about how my margin compares with that of digital products, idk. I don't run anything digital atm. Sent from my iPhone...

    From Affiliate Marketing To Importing And Ecommerce

    MARKETING 
    Yes same concept. Physical products. I find most of the digital stuff that's out there (especially for affiliates) is a load of crap. But there are things like auto insurance, lead gen stuff, that is good. However I have just focused on physical products for the most part. Sent from my...

    From Affiliate Marketing To Importing And Ecommerce

    MARKETING 
    Well, this business wouldn't exist if I weren't doing affiliate marketing. Facebook is all I use for Affiliate Marketing so I already knew the ropes and knew what it would take to find stuff that sells well, etc. BUT It is definitely not needed. There are plenty of guys on this forum that have...

    @911Carrera I'll PM But also want to post publicly that I'm not looking to sell at the moment. I'd like to build this out much larger first. And thanks to this thread I now have more confidence in it and have some great decisions ahead on which path I really want to go down. I believe I can...

    Yea - at least on amazon you are naturally building the asset as you make sells with all the sales ranks and (hopefully) reviews. I'm working on getting this product on amazon right now. Mostly just to do it. I've never put anything on amazon so once again, using this as a learning tool.

    hahahahaha. Yes you do. At least get into 'clean' verticals to start. That's what got me going down this path. Made for an easy transition.

    Thank you to each and everyone one of the posts I'll try and respond to specific questions that stick out in later posts. But to address the main reason I don't feel what I have is a really sellable business (yes you can sell anything for the right price), I cut corners. I am going to try and...

    IDK guys - Seems like a lot of the ideas here are more to on how to expand sales / grow. ie: Lots of comments on building out a social plan/strategy. While I agree that this is good for pretty much any business; I don't feel like this is necessary to building a product business into an...

    After thinking about this all day with the help of all the posters here, I'm beginning to think the following: Your 'business' becomes sellable when it has foreseeable future profits/value via a proven repeatable system. Meaning, so long as your profits/value can be continued/grown or by...

    Interesting thought. I'm trying to come up with examples to support or disprove this. One thing that comes to mind is that stupid Ped Egg product. I don't remember exact numbers but that dumb thing has sold something like 45m units. The actual brand Ped Egg, is owned by a DM company...

    Ha - I still look to you as my go to guy whenever adwords anything comes up. That and the few times I spoke with you on skype prove that you are just a legit dude. I'll always value what you say.

    I can't really gage the word of mouth traffic. I do know that I had a very high amount of shares on my ads compared to other ads. I can get the exact number/ratio, but don't think it'll do us any good. Also 28% of my traffic came direct (not from clicking my ads). Which to me just means they...
