    Instagram Marketing ($100K+ profit, 4M followers)

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA AMA 
    50k+ Otherwise a waste of time. Also note: if the account makes no money it's not worth anything, just like a business. Instagram is a photo sharing application, therefore share photos. If anyone gets picky, they will remove the photo. Also, most people are happy if an account with 100k+...

    What do you include in your CUSTOMER AVATAR?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for this post. I'm about to dive in to figuring out my demographic and pin pointing my average customer. It's an odd one as well because I know it could go down two separate paths (business owners or teenagers), or maybe something completely different! It's extremely important to ensure...

    I like your thinking. I've been looking at how I can spin this around and offer an affiliate product or do something like a monthly limited edition spring tee every month on my Instagram and scrap the Shopify store for now. If I have any passion left its with my Instagram account--I love doing...

    Validation for Luxury Sports branded Merchandise

    Makes a lot more sense. I guess it would just be finding out if these people have the issue of finding high quality products and you hear them complaining about it. Fake example on twitter: 'I wish they had decently looking iPhone cases for the Rangers' Test the market, see if its possible...

    Validation for Luxury Sports branded Merchandise

    Cool idea and totally possible. Something I recently learn't to question regarding business is: 'what is the value you are offering?'. In no way am I shooting this idea down but for example: Why would these wealthy customers purchase your gear over Nike, which is quite expensive in certain...

    Awesome man! Best of luck with this and I'll be following a long. Also send me a message if you want an insight on how you could target people in your town and gain followers on the account quickly.

    Hello from Aaron

    INTRO 
    Thanks Cyriex! I'm already running one business, but I personally don't think it's for me and its not very 'fastlane'. I'm about to enter my final semester so I won't be dropping out. Hopefully my next business endeavor will show a bit more success.

    I 100% agree on your assessment. I guess having a head cold isn't putting me in the best mood about this business either. However! I have switched around my mindset as there has been so much valued knowledge presented to me in this thread. I'm starting to take action on basically every point...

    I cannot explain how much you have just taught me about harnesses. I've read over 50+ reviews now and copy and pasted the main points in to a notepad ready to use. I'm going to replace the section at the top of my website after the image sliders giving a quick overview of what benefits a harness...

    I'm pretty happy with what I have achieved so far and have learn't an incredible amount. If anyone is reading this I want to say that starting a business is easy, just checklist the things you need to legally do then its easy from there. I recognize my audience on Instagram is pretty solid, I...

    This is why I made this post originally, to get opinions whether to kill this idea and start up a new one. I realized there's an incredible amount of flaws and realistically I will most likely start something else. I can never see this going anywhere or offering much valued what so ever. I...

    Not that I can't be bothered. I don't have the funds to purchase each single item out of my inventory. Also this is like telling every eCommerce website which uses stock/factory images to quit and I can assure you there's a lot of them. Either way thanks for the input--hopefully one day I'll be...

    Thanks for the input. I can't go any lower on my prices: I have to pay for drop-shipping fees and would start loosing money (I'm looking at $1-$2 margins max). Therefore, with this being said I don't stock the inventory and won't be taking any unique photos, only prompting my customers to take...

    I like this idea but still want to keep my eCommerce platform. I'm going to take what you have said and aim to mold it in another way. I realize my Instagram following is fairly good and I'm currently writing an eBook guide on how to gain a large audience in my extra time.

    All my prices are MSRP from my wholesaler. I was also told that I shouldn't compete with margin profits and instead offer value. But hey, thanks for mentioning it anyway, I already have started altering prices for some products which are over priced ($26 amazon compared to $47 on my site).

    Already sent out emails. Hopefully I will get 2/5 responses to give an insight on why they purchased. Thank you once again.

    I have had 5 customers so far. I like this idea, I may set up a personalized email asking them to give feedback why they purchased from our site. Thanks for the tip Adri!

    This is really eye opening and great to hear--thank you for giving me a new perspective. Like you mentioned there is no value and I have recently discovered that. I'm going to put your words in to action this week by starting an eBook like you mentioned and provide it for free.
