My experience working for other people wasn't just poorly paid, it was dangerous too. When you work for a company, it's survival will come before your welfare.

The Biggest Lie

Most people have a trigger or some life event that shocks them to the core. That feeling of being betrayed by a system that doesn't provide you with a good standard of living. Being an employee, collecting university degrees; maybe these aren't the answer.

The Harmful Workplace

Trust in yourself for an income. If it doesn't make sense for a company to keep their employees, they will 'restructure' without hesitation. There is no such thing as job security.

The Personality Traits Of Success

Here are some characteristics that I've identified as successful traits for entrepreneurs. Focus, patience, humility, and environment scanning, to mention a few. This positive mindset will raise your probability of success.

The Motivated Mind

One of the biggest struggles is staying motivated. Without a boss breathing down your neck, the only person who will get the ship to stay on course, is you.

The Probability Of Success

Look around you. Are your surroundings priming you for success? Don't underestimate the power of your environment. If you have too many distractions, you are lowering your probability of success.

The Life Of Action

Learn to take action without becoming paralyzed by information overload. Remember that success requires action.

The Ticking Clock

Time is your biggest asset. More than money, because you can always make more, but you can't make more time. Once you realize this, you need identify and remove the time wasters in your life.

The Balanced Life

The entrepreneur's nemesis is a balanced life. We're known for being obsessive and maybe even selfish. But what's the ultimate goal? Maybe it's not monetary. Maybe it's more time with the family, more relaxation, more happiness.

Some stats on the changing landscape of retail and how the future of consumerism is online. Online stores have the advantage of low overhead costs and not being geographically limited.

The Ecommerce Business Models

There are a few different ways to sell online. And different ways to fulfil your products.

The Secret To Proven Products

Product selection is the most asked about question I get from students. I go through how to search and pick the products that are actually going to sell.

The Margin In The Price

The price of a product determines a lot. It determines whether the product is an attractive buy for your customer and also determines your margin so that you can profit. You need to move your product price up and down until you find the perfect number.

The Facebook Ad Platform

Facebook ads is the most powerful advertising platform in the world. Learn about the different departments within Facebook ads and how they affect your business.

The Business Manager And Ad Accounts

Learn how to structure your Business Manager and Ad Accounts. The Business Manager is where you'll create your Ad Accounts.

Your pixel carries information about your website visitors. Facebook uses this to optimize and get you sales. Learn how to place your pixel and create custom audiences that are specific to finding the customers who will buy your product.

The Ad Account Structure

The Ad Accounts are where you'll launch and optimize ads. These are very important to structure properly to allow Facebook to find you the right customers.

The Ad Creative

The Ad Creative is what your ad looks like and says. There are different kinds of ads. Some are images of varying sizes and some can be videos or carousels. Learn which is best for different occasions. 

The Rules Of Ad Set Up

Facebook works best when it's setup in a specific way. Learn what to restrict and what not to restrict in setting up your ads.

The Different Types Of Targeting

Targeting helps Facebook understand which audiences would best respond to your product. There are many different ways to target, including by precise or broad interests. If you target incorrectly, Facebook will find the wrong people and you won't get the sale.

The Roi And Roas

Two metrics you'll want to familiarize yourself with are ROI and ROAS. ROI is return on investment and ROAS is your return on your ad spend. Calculating these daily will give your business direction.

Optimize your ads so that only the best ones remain and interpret the data to find out if you need to adjust your ad or price.

The Custom Audience

The Custom Audience is an audience Facebook creates specifically from the data you feed it. This is so important for your business, because it's custom to your store and product. You should receive high conversions from this audience type.

The Retargeting Goldmine

Retargeting will give you your highest conversions. These are people who have clicked your ad, visited your store, added to cart, and/or bought. Because they've shown interest in your product, they are the mostly likely to buy or even buy again.

The Scaling Methods

My favorite part of Facebook Ads is scaling. This is when everything is optimized and you are ready to make the big bucks. You'll increase ad spend, but also increase revenue and profit.

The Management Of Fulfilment

Fulfilment is the back end. After you get the sale, your job isn't done. Time to get the product to the customer.

The Customer Experience

Making sure the customer has a good experience buying on your store is important for repeat business. It also helps lower refunds, or bad reviews. Learn how to send great emails to your customers and keep them happy.

The Freedom In The Formula

Planning Promotions

There are certain times of the year like Christmas, Mother's day, Father's day, that see an increase in sales. But you can only capitalize on those occasions if you plan for them. Plan out your year with promotions relating to these holidays.

The Boss You Always Wanted

Don't forget what it's like to be an employee. It might not have been for you, but it doesn't mean you need to look down on, or treat your employees like lesser citizens. You are the leader now, and making sure your employees are happy, challenged and communicative, will ensure you have a better business.

The Need For A Different Platform

CommerceHQ is a labor of love and comes from a dissatisfying experience with the current platforms out there. I solve all the problems I had with the other Ecommerce platforms with CommerceHQ, including the hefty price tag when all the necessary apps are added. CommerceHQ also has much more support for Ecommerce entrepreneurs including product search and weekly Q&As. It's what I wish I had when I started out in this business.

The Ecommerce Trajectory

People will always want to buy things and what better place to be than online when the entire world can be your customer.
