Rank #1: 122: How To Make 600K Selling T-Shirts On TeeSpring With Derek Pankaew.
Today I’m happy to have Derek Pankaew on the show. Derek is someone who I met at the Ecommerce Fuel Live conference and it was pretty random how we started talking. I was sitting directly behind him during a session and I couldn’t help but peek at his screen. And I found that the screen saver on his computer was a running count of his age. I took notice and we started chatting. And as luck would have it, Derek was selling t-shirts at the time and making a killing doing it. Now if you’ve followed my blog for a while, an example that I use of what not to sell is t-shirts because it’s way too saturated. But Derek has made over 600K with a gross profit of 335K selling t-shirts online in a pretty short period of time and in this interview he shares how he did it. ...

To be able to forsake his own college for a superior school is just a testament to his awesomeness. Anyway, Pat runs the very popular blog SmartPassiveIncome.com and what’s cool about Pat is that there’s always something new going on with his businesses. Last month, he brought in almost 108 thousand dollars from various sources such as affiliate marketing, iphone apps, ebook sales, software sales, podcast sponsorships…you name it and he’s done it.

We are going to talk about something the audience might actually be interested in. That is how to build a retailer to $1 million in revenue. Actually historically how we built our own retailer design public to 1 million in revenue over the first 18 months. Sina that is one of the more popular articles on my blog.I think it's popular because everybody wants to be a millionaire overnight even though 1 million revenue doesn’t equal millionaire, it’s just a promise of ramping up a company pretty quickly, is something that attracts a lot of interest. As you know it's harder than you think and it doesn't often mean a whole lot. I thought that would elaborate on that article and drill down and get your two cents as the guy who went through with me.Sina: Absolutely and a fine article it is.Drew: Thank you Sina. In the article I have the five reasons. I think I wrote that now at this point to years ago. I look at that article again and I probably want to pull out a couple of those reasons may be add a couple more. We’ll start with those as a point of departure for discussion. The first reason was that we chose a blue ocean. I talked about this book called Blue Ocean Strategy. It basically argues that when you start a business, you try to find a category where there aren’t a lot of competitors.That is opposed to red ocean where the waters are bloodied with the blood of all your competitors, right? I think in 2003 if you go back to when we started Sina, there weren’t a whole lot of people selling furniture online. Design Public was there, I think they thought of themselves as a catalog first company because their website didn't really embrace any sort of best practices of SEO or anything like that at the time. We were fortunate to just choose a niche where there was a lot of search activity, a lot of people were looking to buy brands online and there weren’t a lot of sites optimized for those brands. I think that was a big contributor to our early success,Sina: Yeah absolutely. I know we talked about some of the, in the bullet points of what makes a blue ocean strategy in terms of competition and the fact that the products were essentially kind of marketing themselves. One thing I thought about when I was reading this,

For entrepreneurs, though, it’s a major concern. A recent survey found that entrepreneurs say that maintaining a small business causes twice as much stress as maintaining a healthy relationship, nearly three times as much stress as raising children, and more than four times the stress of managing their personal finances. And for those who run businesses, that stress needs to be managed, or there can be consequences...not just for the founder, but for the business itself.

Rank #1: #3: What's Working Right Now with Facebook Ads.
Today’s episode of The Art of Paid Traffic is a solo one where we'll be continuing our mini-series on what's working right now with Facebook ads. Here's a hint...Website Custom Audiences. If you're not familiar with Website Custom Audiences (or WCAs as the cool kids call them), it's Facebook's version of retargeting. Using this type of targeting allows you to show ads to people on Facebook who have visited your website or landing page. It's definitely my favorite feature when it comes to targeting Facebook ads because it's so powerful. In today's episode, I share some strategies and ideas for how avoid leaving big money on the table using Facebook's WCAs so you can maximize leads and sales.

Rank #1: EU102: Beginners Guide to Facebook Ads Targeting, Testing, and Budgeting.
 Facebook Ads is the main topic covered in today’s episode of eCommerce Uncensored. Jason starts off by giving some background on the changes we are going through as an agency especially regarding growth. The reason we decided to chose this topic for our episode is because we have been getting questions recently in our Facebook Group and we wanted to expand more on the concepts and strategies we use and have had success with in the past. Jason and Kevin mentioned that it is important to have your pixel installed in order to maximize the amount of data you collect from your campaigns. With Facebook compared to Google, if your ad is not getting any attention within the first 48 hours, it will probably not work. it is also a good strategy with engagement ads to do various versions to get feedback which variations work and which demographics respond in a positive way. The conversation then moves to conversion ads and the different strategies were successful for us in the past. Jason also looks back at how the Facebook algorithm has improved over the years and how it has helped build successful ads. The podcast ends with the guys discussing some of the topics we will dive deeper into on the upcoming episodes. Don’t forget to please leave a comment below or review us on iTunes or Stitcher.

Rank #2: EU021: A Step by Step Funnel For The Fashion Niche.
In Episode 21 of eCommerce Uncensored, Jason and Kevin of Fast Forward Unlimited walk you through the specific steps of creating a funnel for your eCommerce business. The guys use the example of a clothing business to give you actionable tips, but these steps can be applied to any eCommerce site looking to increase sales. #1 Create an engaging piece of content that will draw attention to your brand. Whatever content you choose, blog, video, podcast, etc., provide your audience with something so intriguing and useful, they want to know more about it. Remember you’re not explicitly selling here, but creating a familiarity with your customer. You can learn a lot about how to create and optimize a blog post by listening to Episode 18 & Episode 19 of Ecommerce Uncensored. Episode 17 will help you create a great video. #2 Create a Facebook ad to drive traffic to your blog. You have this awesome content (remember Step 1), now you need people to see it. Target your specific customers in Facebook with an ad that will draw them check out it out. Remember-the purpose of this ad is to expose the reader to your brand, not sell, sell, sell. Episode 20 gives you all you need to know on how to create an effective Facebook ad to drive traffic to your blog. #3 Create a retargeting ad. This second line of advertisement will be visible to those people who already clicked on your first ad, so this audience has already shown interest in your brand. You are pretty much targeting a subset of your first customized audience. To do this you need to know a little about how to use Facebook Pixel, which you can learn more about in Episode 14 & Episode 11. This is where you sell your product. Offer these potential customers a coupon or special offer to drive them to the cart checkout. #4 Upsell Offer them something to enhance the purchase already being made. Check out Episode 6 for more on upselling. #5 Create an Abandoned Cart Funnel Get them back to complete their order! Learn some more about these funnels in Episode10. Once you see your funnel working it becomes a matter of drawing more traffic to the original piece of content (remember Step #1?) with advertisements on other platforms like Pinterest and Google. You’re not creating anything new but the funnel is doing the work for you. An endless cycle, or funnel, of revenue. If you have any questions about this podcast or any other topics covered, we can always be reached at kevin@fastforwardunlimited.com or jason@fastforwardunlimited.com. We’d love to chat with you and help you out in any way we can. The post EU021: A Step by Step Funnel For The Fashion Niche appeared first on eCommerce Uncensored.

Rank #2: NP 76: How Pilar Newman Uses Trends to Research, Create, and Sell Unique Products on Amazon.
I'm happy to bring you another podcast interview I did recently with an Amazon seller. The guest on the podcast today is Pilar Newman. She has been selling on Amazon for about 8 years, and has really honed her skills for finding and selling products through the Amazon platform. Pilar applies a lot of the tactics other guests have shared in the past.  However, where she is different is how she is capitalizing on trending items that are selling really well.  Rather than selling the actual trending item itself, she thinks of unique items that are complimentary to the trending items. As a result she is able to sell unique products, but still capitalizes on the big trends that are taking place.

Rank #1: TMBA513: How To Get Rich Without Getting Lucky.
A few weeks ago, Dan and Ian invited Nick Huber on to the show to talk about his storage business Storage Squad. During that conversation, Nick shared the story of how he built a successful "old school" business by applying his technical knowledge to a less competitive market. After we stopped recording, that conversation took an interesting turn when Nick started opening up to us about his philosophy for building labor-intensive businesses that he likes to call "Sweaty Startups". On today's podcast, we've invited Nick back to share some of those philosophies, with a focus on the types of business models that he is attracted to, as well as the ones that he isn't particularly fond of.

Rank #2: Episode 390: TMBA390: How to Get Better at Sales.
http://www.tropicalmba.com/salestechniques/ One of the topics that Dan and Ian have repeatedly been asked to talk about on this show is sales. The reality for the majority of the entrepreneurs who listen to this show is that their businesses live or die by their sales funnel. It's also one of the number one things that entrepreneurs struggle to get good at. When Dan and Ian decided to do this episode, they knew there was only one person that they could call to talk about how to really get better at sales. John Logar is an extremely talented and successful salesperson, and he has always been very generous about sharing his advice on sales. On this week's show, John shares some of those insights, including a 4 step daily process that John guarantees will bring you more sales. This isn't going to be a drive by, top ten list type of an episode. This is a deep dive into the type of skills and habits that will help you build a better, more profitable sales funnel for your business.
