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

    HOT! SOURCING 
    ^^THIS^^ That's me 100%, except when I stop my ads, my revenue drops like 90%. You may be onto something here. But at the same time, there are definitely lots of sellable brands built on 'wants'. But my product is definitely a want. However, I do wonder if some of my buyers consider it a...

    What would you do in this situation as a 8-fig protege

    Understandable. I dont' do amazon (yet) so I can't comment on that, but I think i understand the conflict. However, you are still gonna run into that issue whenever you do start selling, correct? If so, might as well start now :)

    wow interesting stats. $3.1k seems extremely high for a business that anyone can start on a shoestring! Even at the average, that's a powerful number. If someone can master building average ecom sites, they can be rolling. And yes I agree with the following. Even being average in this space...

    I mean, I have this. FB ads are connected to FB page where the people can easily reach me, not to mention the site where they buy from and all the emails they get from me regarding shipping etc. I do get feedback via those channels and know how I can improve the product already, but it's still...

    I've only used VA's from the Philippines as well, but I love them. I found mine from friends who used them in the past. I now have my VA's bring me friends or recommendations for others when I need more. I hire mine full time. Not part time gigs. I plan on keeping them for years. Wonderful...

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

    HOT! SOURCING 
    I have been realizing something lately. I failed. I decided to try my hand at creating my own product and importing it. It has done well, but my purpose in doing all this was to create a one day sellable asset. AND that is where I failed. I can now relate to all those pitches on Shark Tank...

    Not to be contentious, but more so out of genuine curiosity in regards to your post (summarized by the quote above) and in support for JDawg (unless I'm wrong) BUT - what's wrong with the business model being the same as the 1,000's+ who have done this model and succeeded? I do agree that...

    Something isn't adding up to me: I wont comment on the guru part-so let's just pretend you said 'an actually good internet marketer'. So you have someone who knows how to sell the crap out of your product online,...and... ... you have the product, or at least have some small quantity of...

    You are definitely over thinking. Stop trying to come up with something. Once you do that something will pop up right in front of you. The product I went with, I wouldn't even use myself. I could care less for it. You never know what products can do well and what wont. Additionally, you...

    Right now the categories don't matter to me WITH THE EXCEPTION of anything that I personally just don't want to own or anything that Facebook will not allow. ie: adult products, weapons, drugs, pills/supplements, etc.

    Yes clicks is the main thing I am looking for, but I don't ignore things like the likes, comments, and shares. The ad CPM is right up there with clicks in what I look at AND the ad CPM is largely correlated with the ad engagement, which includes everything from the clicks, likes, comments, and...

    You don't know until you start to see that 1.) you can get consistent sales for around $x or 2.) you haven't gotten a single sale for 3x the product sales price. Really it's a judgement game. This is getting into the "art" side of marketing. After doing it for so long you just get a 'feel' for...

    Goldman Sachs creates info-page about millennial buying habits. How are you cashing in?

    Man. I hate being lumped into these groups. I was born in 85 and I don't fit the mold they are explaining here at all. I married young, have two kids, have disposable income, etc. I look at my facebook at all the people I grew up with from High School and see the ones that do fit the mold. In...

    Starting Capital with Affiliate Marketing. What's Needed?

    I always tell guys to plan on: Blowing $20k And it taking 6-9mo Those numbers can go up or down drastically depending on you. Do you find good mentors? Do you team up with a bunch of heavily dedicated guys that are all in the same boat as you? How much time each day can you devote? What...

    ^^ this. Or to be a little more clear, because I started seeing patterns of high click rates and good comments and wanted to get significant data to confirm that those patterns were statistically significant. Don't want to do the next step of work on small data is all. I say it doesn't matter...

    Roughly. I don't have an exact number. Some ads you can tell quickly that they suck, some took the full $80. The amount doesn't matter. What matters is that you know if that product can sell or not. It's just a cheap way of testing the waters before you dive in.

    Did both of those. Clicks to websites and page post engagements. Mainly just need any ad objective that works best with your ad that leads to your website/offer page. I originally spent $80 just testing the ad itself looking to see how many clicks I got and what kind of CPM I could get. Once I...

    What part of how I tested exactly are you looking for? How I created the ads? Otherwise the general idea of what I did I covered in the first few posts. If you have more specific questions ask away. Just don't know what part you want to know more about. With Shopify it was as easy as clicking a...
