    ** I OWN PART OF LDS CHURCH PARKING LOT

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 07:55 AM PST

    A few years ago I bought a piece of property at a county tax sale and it turned out to be in the middle of a LDS MORMON church parking lot. The church was not interested in purchasing it.

    Any ideas what I should put on it?

    The Seller Strategy To Make $5,500 A Month + (30 Tips) To Rank Better On Amazon

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 11:56 PM PST

    Start flipping products on Amazon, 3 months down the road you're going to be really surprised how little effort it takes to make a full-time income. Once you master this source of income, you can then scale it and reinvest profits to make even bigger rewards. The way Amazon works is that the more you invest in yourself in terms of units, quality products etc. The more you'll get back. So it risks big for a big reward. You need to take calculated risks, but first, you need to build up your own business first. - Having a job is a great way to start making some cash flow, but you should use it to actually start a business. A job isn't scalable. You only have 24 hours in a day. The more exposure your brand gets (whether that is from posts, social media, websites, blogs, etc) the more opportunities you have to monetize off your traffic. When you have a lot of people's attention, and you create a product, you're likely to make a sale. This can be scaled. Anything you put out on the internet compounds, continually getting more and more traffic that gives you a chance to make a sale. My biggest advice is that you use some sort of marketing - (Facebook Ads, PPC, Instagram stories, etc) to keep your sales growing and healthy. - Slapping your own logo on your product (Tip: Don't worry, it's extremely easy to do this, you can outsource a logo for like $5 on Fiverr) is going to make you look like a very professional and credible seller giving you access to 1000's of sales in a month.

    Here are 30 tips to help you succeed on Amazon.

    • 5/5: ESSENTIAL
    • Beautiful images (minimum 5 images) especially lifetime photos I use UpgradedImages.com for product photography
    • Keywords in your title (don't sound like a robot; it still needs to sound human)
    • Competitive price (contributes to high conversion rate)
    • NOT having 1-star reviews
    • DON'T STOCKOUT: it's such a killer and if you DO stockout, definitely DON'T raise your price right before you do, if anything LOWER your price for the last 10-20 units before you stockout, each ASIN has a 'memory' for when you do get back in stock so that will help you regain ranking quickly
    • DON'T VIOLATE AMAZON TOS: just don't
    • Perform QC on your stock before you send it in (I sent in a wrong box once and I had to 'remove' over 3,000 pieces so I could sift through them and remove the 150 contaminated pieces 0/7 would not recommend

    4/5: Pretty Friggin Important

    • Minimum 10 5-star reviews (do this before you do anything below this)
    • Well optimized PPC campaigns (could do a whole post on this, keep ACOS under 40%) here's a screenshot of some of my campaigns I use a combination of manual campaigns with exact phrases and high bids...and auto campaigns with a broad range of products and very low bids
    • Jump Send for auto review requests (it's not as good as it used to be, but it's still worth it)
    • Get a trademark and get Brand Registry, this protects you from hijackers and other unscrupulous sellers
    • Quick response to customer messages (under 12 hours)
    • Drive outside traffic (Amazon loves outside traffic because they don't have to spend so much to acquire customers) Facebook, Instagram, and Google Adwords are the usual suspects.
    • Facebook Ads can be used for very specific targeting for your niche customers and Instagram stories are extremely profitable if you can pull it off (content not infomercial)
    • Use ocean shipping to save mucho $$$ on unit costs (I personally do air shipping because convenience)

    3/5: Yea, I'd say that's important

    • Having a few reviewers attach images to their reviews
    • Strong bullet point copy (solve their problems, don't just list your features)
    • Keep your pricing consistent, this is just a hunch, but I think when you change your price you lose some juice in Amazon's algorithm, also it affects whether you can run lightning deals and at what minimum price
    • Hack your way into AMS ([amazon marketing services](amazonmarketingservices.com)) and create product display ads
    • Make sure your lead photo 'fills up the square' this will help CTR
    • Offer a promotion (Buy 2, Get 20% OFF) this increases your cart size looks like this ..... for this product
    • Fill up your description with lots of relevant keywords (this allows your auto-ppc campaigns to have a lot of words to target)
    • Have a Shopify store, drive traffic, give them an option to purchase on Amazon via your affiliate link here's how I do it......for this product
    • Use Privy in conjunction with Klaviyo on your Shopify store to collect emails, this will serve as your list that you can blast when you launch a new product

    2/5: If you have time, go for it

    • Enhanced brand content (it takes longer for people to scroll to your reviews)
    • Having a reviewer 'ask a question'
    • Creating variations, I'm mixed on this, a lot of people say to do it, I think it confuses shoppers having too many options AND seeing different variations all lumped into the same review pool. Your call really *Contact seller support to remove negative 'seller reviews'

    1/5: Wasting time, might be hurting yourself

    • Stuffing your title with keywords
    • Long Description
    • Using a launch service to giveaway tons of product at a loss, going to cost you lots of money and Amazon might penalize you anyways
    • Don't hire people on Fiverr to post reviews, they won't show up as verified and Amazon is watching you

I'm always looking for better ways to sell better on Amazon If you need any other advice or you have absolutely no idea what I just covered then check out my guide so that you can catch up on this trend!

    Anyone using Facebook for their business blog?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 03:25 PM PST

    I have a blog on my business website but I am contemplating the effectiveness of keeping it going, on the website at least.

    I have seen more and more "blog" like posts that are using Facebook notes as their medium.

    So my question is do you think that it is better/more effective to have a blog on your website or link the page to your business note page on Facebook.

    Any recommendations for Books aimed at new canadian small businesses? So much to learn.

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 03:23 PM PST

    The government of Canada site is handy, but a tad overwhelming for someone new to business. I thought that there might be a good book to help a person get started properly. So much to learn.

    I imagine the whole importing side of things will be a huge read and learning curve as well.

    Any pointers to good docs?

    Laundromat Business Income

    Posted: 07 Dec 2017 04:28 AM PST

    Hi,

    I'm looking to open a Laundromat in my city. There are just 2 in the entire country and population isn't used to it.

    My city has two universities close to each other and about 15.000 students.

    I think it will work as students doesn't have a place to wash their laundry.

    Before I'm going in, I look for some pieces of information. I don't have anyone to ask about this type of business.

    Looking on the internet, i found a laundromat business calculator (http://laundryowner.com/ down on the page), but I don't know how accurate is.

    Maybe someone has more experience and can share some insights here?

    Thank you in advance.
