WooCommerce is what you would use to bridge the gap between your customers and your vender (Printful or Printify). Both of those vendors have pros and cons. What did you find in your own investigation?

Hello, I would go for a Phoenix framework (backend) / ELM (frontend) based platform. The use of these two functional languages will allow you to support high user concurrency and to serve real-time user experience. Feel free to reach me if you want to talk about it. Cheers

To start out the definition of "marketing" has been totally been siewed for the last 10 years. Most young people today think it means advertising online, SEO, and the remainder think it means graphic design and flyers. Just like marketing could mean a lot of things digital marketing can also mean a lot of things. Most newbies in digital marketing are going to be dealing with compiling Analytics, designing ads that someone else gave them specific instructions to create, I'm physically placing, uploading, and deleting ads on various platforms. You can imagine how tedious this all can be, that the Newbie probably doesn't understand the ultimate objectives of the campaign, that the work is very repetitive, and that a lot of mistakes can be made which are there have to be corrected at a large cost or at least managed. Most of these newbies do not know the most fundamental aspects of marketing as a practice: the P's, awareness, emotional drivers, etc. Without that how can they really make the right decisions or understand what they're doing in context? This is a roundabout way of saying most of these entry-level people lack fundamental and foundational knowledge of marketing as a practice, so managers are frustrated because the people they hired really don't understand what they're doing outside of what they're doing

I believe you have not had any answers to your question because it is not detailed enough. There are too many variables for someone to provide a comprehensive answer. Why are you closing the corp.? Were you the sole shareholder? Was the capital infusion listed as a loan on the corp. books? Who is authorized to take on debt on behalf of the corp? and many, many more... Furthermore, you are basically asking for free legal advice or, at a minimum, free Accounting advice that would be provided by a CPA. The old adage "You get what you pay for" applies here. Contact a tax attorney and or your CPA.

In my experience, classified sites have always been a total waste of time. I've been in business for 15 years now and here's what has worked for me: - Referrals - absolutely the best method hands down - Facebook Advertising - Becoming a trusted expert in the forums of whatever platform you use - Guest blogging/guest on podcasts - Community involvement (trade groups, conferences, forums) - SEO using long-tail - broad keywords like web developer are impossible What hasn't worked well: - Bidding out jobs on sites like Upwork (the competition there is tough to match on price) - Direct marketing (mail, personal emails, cold calling) There really are no geographic boundaries when it comes to web development - many of our clients are in Europe and Australia so don't limit yourself to just your home country!

The general rule is as follows: 1) Create a profile that identifies who your target customer is. 2) Estimate how many of those customers are in the region you are planning on targeting. 3) Estimate your demand rate. Is your product or service mission critical and every single target customer would need it or, is it a product or service that people would buy if they see it otherwise they would not go out of their way for it. 4) multiply step 2 and 3 above. Estimating your market size is not an exact science and there are many business/sector specific variables to consider that would increase the accuracy of the analysis. If you would like to talk about this further, do not hesitate to contact me.

Digital marketing is broad but can be plainly described as: the creation, distribution of and engagement with, relationship or brand building content in an electronic format.

Depending on the age group your strategy should vary from international fairs or international catalogs great companies like sunwing or Catai are always looking to expand their reach! Strongly recommend real state corporations to publicise your product!

Shopify for sure. But, why limit yourself there? There are some other really great systems out there that provide more tools out of the box. Oh, and while I'm sure *some* businesses do well with a Facebook store, it's not so simple to just "build and they will come." Stores are connected to Pages. You might want to get a start locally using Facebook Marketplace.

Hi there, I wish I could give you an exact amount — or even a decent range. But, in reality, the answer is it depends. There are a number of factors I would use to quote this. Some of those factors include: - How much content, and what kind, is being created? - How much time are you expected to put into strategy, planning, and vision casting? - How well do you know the company culture that you are managing for? Will you be responsible for sourcing the answer to questions? What does that process look like? - Are you expected to manage the ecommerce store on an ongoing basis? Maintenance? - Are you coding this from scratch? Building out a Shopify or Woocommerce solution? - Are you training them on how to use the product? - Are you responsible for project management? Copywriting? Product photography? As you can see, there are many factors to building out an ecommerce solution. Your original question, how much to charge, is dependant on how you answer these questions, your skill set, and how you value your time. If you’d like more information, or would like to create a marketing strategy, I am happy to help. Just reach out and shoot me a note. All the best,

What you are really talking about (given the info) with the two programs is: -Refer-A-Friend/Customer Referral Program: This is often implemented for customers of the service only and usually the bounty/reward is credits not really commissions. It can be dual benefit (Referrer and Referee get credit for the transaction, or one sided). -Closed/private Affiliate Program: Open to your network of people you want to offer it to, and they receive commissions for referred clients. There is no one-size-fits all solution given there will probably be some technical requirements to do what you'd like on the Service Provided Referrals. Nonetheless, check out Tapfiliate.com. You can create multiple partner programs with different commission rules and regulations, all under one platform. It also fits your requirements above. If you'd like to discuss this more, just schedule a call on Clarity; happy to help out. Thanks!

One of the biggest challenges for new or growing brands when approaching multi brands (whether on or offline) is convincing the retailer of the following: a) You can delivery the product as promised b) It will sell and do so at an acceptable margin c) That you can find a way to cover them if b) fails If you are approaching them as an unknown and are getting significant push back, then your best bet is to ensure that they feel comfortable with the inventory risk they're taking. Here are 3 different ways in which that can be done: a) guarantee their margin b) sell on consignment c) offer a return guarantee ("put it on wheels") I generally only recommend c), as guaranteeing retail margin can become a drain on your own margin, while selling on consignment means you have to wait to get paid until the product is sold by the retailer. I therefore suggest to offer an upfront return agreement (either x%, or if you want to get really aggressive, take back anything that doesn't sell). The point is to cap their risk and make them feel comfortable about taking a shot with a new and unproven vendor. Make it clear upfront that this is for the starting season only to test the brand, so that they don't expect to maintain that kind of return agreement forever.

I would first start by identifying who your perfect or ideal partners are. From there, begin thinking about who in your local market might fit that profile. The path becomes more apparent when you have a crystal clear view of who you want to do business with.

Studio Press has a plethora of great templates, including magazine style.

You'll need to provide some level of detail to get answers from this group. - Consumer retail or wholesale foodservice or ingredient? - Do you have a competitive advantage that is easily communicated? Happy to provide some direction if you can define the scope a bit.

Hi, giving farmers ownership, such as shares, in your business would only invite confusion as the level of business awareness is likely to vary among all the different parties. Instead, create a relationship whereby the farmers have a direct benefit tied to their sales to you such that they will always want to sell to you over others and they will want to direct potential customers to you. Essentially, some kind of volume bonus to the farmers akin to the volume rebate schemes often seen in B2B sales. If you hit certain goals, they get something extra. It gives them a stake in your business without all the complications of actually making them owners. Good luck and arrange a call if you'd like to discuss your situation further. Dave

Depending on your target group I would recommend doing facebook lead ads with a zapier integration to your mailchimp list. That works quite well. There is also an option on linkedin, where you can get directly leads within the channel. Hope that helps you :)

You're best bet is to find out who's behind some of the campaigns you love.

Hire a smart virtual assistant (VA) capable of performing various activities. This will ensure focusing on your core activities and relatively cheaper cost. Don't hire freelance VA, always look for companies who provide these services. You will be better of with almost no downtime plus having access to their tool and automation platform. I collaborated with one, who gave special services like: 1. Flexible hours of work based on need 2. Work as per your desired time zones. 3. No additional Project Management charge. 4. No upfront investment. 5. 100% security i.e. own the copyrights of the work done. 6. Track performance by daily reporting schedule. 7. Rate as low as $8/hour. Let me know if you need any help.

Focus on improving your sales skills and delivering constant value to your accounts. With that in mind, I would recommend: "If You're Not First You're Last" by Grant Cardone "Closers Survival Guide" by Grant Cardone "Fanatical Prospecting" by Jeb Blount

I recommend reading "Will It Fly" by Pat Flynn and "The 4-Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss. Go ahead and run a Google Adwords Campaign to a landing page with the option to purchase something related to your topic. If you get a good conversion rate of people who click the Buy button, then it is a winner. Ideally, you are looking for a topic that is a huge need for your target audience. A friend of mine always says that he is looking for at least an 8 out of 10 on the BIG Problem scale.

This is an interesting idea. In fact I faced a similar problem recently - I wanted to pick up a sofa that I'd bought from ebay. My options were - borrow a big van and drive it there and back, hire a man and a van to do so. I chose the man and the van via this service - https://www.anyvan.com/ So a solution already exists here but perhaps there's a spin on it? Get people to pick up your items when they're traveling that way anyway - it's been done too - https://www.nimber.com/ It maybe that your market isn't mature and there's a need for this where you are. What I'd suggest is the following: Sketch out the problem/s and what people do about that problem Sketch out the use cases Sketch out all your assumptions Then try and debunk them - one by one Speak to people - whether that be on forums, facebook, in person, friends, relatives etc and gain as much insight as you can. Once you've got that insight try and sketch out the solution to the problem Once you've got that - then go back to your BMC and re-hash the whole thing Then build a cheap website/landing page saying that you can solve that problem by doing xyz - you don't even have to have the service or anything Promote it and collect feedback Re-hash the BMC Then decide whether it's viable or not. Happy to chat through in more detail.

Clinical Decision Support coupled with cost optimization will grow over the next ten years in light of AI and Amazon development. So what do I mean in a practical sense by this? Say you are a patient with abdominal pain. Your doctor thinks you may have a gallstone, but it could also be a kidney stone or perhaps a bulging disc in your back among other conditions. A test would help your doctor diagnose you. But what test? It could be an ultrasound, CT, MRI, or a nuclear medicine study along with blood work. But what would be the best test for you given your medical history, past tests you've undergone and cost of the tests in the area? This is way too much information for a busy doctor to analyze in a 15-minute office visit. Ahh, but there is an AI platform with all your past medical history and costs of local services Amazon has figured out. Your doctor, working in conjunction with the platform can enter relevant clinical information based on their physical exam and interstation with you to determine the optimal test to order to diagnose your condition. This would result in high-quality, cost-effective care to be delivered with the help of AI in collaboration with your doctor's input. How does this change the job of a doctor? Well, it would make them more efficient and able to provide higher quality. They would need to learn how to interact more closely with an AI platform and recognize a stronger partnership with technology. As a result, decrease mental burden and job satisfaction would result. Ultimately, there could be lower rates of provider burnout and increased job satisfaction with more individuals wanting to enter medicine. This could help address our issues around limited access in light of an aging population requiring more services.

Chartmogul is the best one I've found. There are many great ones though. You can even use open source analytics software to build your own.

Hello, I wholesale part time. I have sold multiple products to a variety of different stores. My goal was to never get into a huge department store, it was to provide small mom and pop shops with products that would sell. Steps I took to sell multiple items: 1. Establish a contact person 2. Provide sample products to display in store on counter 3. Follow up with contact person to see what reaction they are getting from the consumer. 4. Discuss how your product will bring more revenue to there establishment. 5. Sell your idea. I have done this in multiple different types of stores. Example: Sold knives to a gift store to put in gift baskets. Sold shot glasses to a dollar store. Sold musical gardens to a small knick knack store. Sold table top fountains to a novelty shop. I used the steps above in order to achieve my goal. My personal opinion is 85% of your time and effort is going to be selling the idea. That's it. It really is that simple. Feel free to contact with any questions. Happy Earnings!!!
