Alright this is day seven two month mother is not only one week since a server is started I think we teachers around ten thousand dollars are now. So I’m feeling alright it’s a little slow I wish it was a little bit quicker obviously in gaining traction I feel up quite a future – luckily how different marketing tactic I just sort of faced with that another thing I want to do is I actually recorded a video today as a banking video at the mistress in Paris and I think this is the product to really like I don’t expect a lot from it as I said in the video the one of the worst parts of the video you can barely fit now that are staying on my shirt there’s

I filmed in this video and the shirt on the video shirt and I realized afterwards they were listing on the shitter okay Maxie give the microphone just kind of hard to see but I’ll let that go sometimes right like when you do all this work and then real I get to throw it all out it’s also bad because that means tomorrow I’ll need another shot at doing it helps me tomorrow I have a little bit more energy I can do a better job some artifacts good one today a second big deal it’s not having to do something twice when we’ve already done. So she could I’ve been kind of dreading doing this this small thing we’re community is a big deal I was going to ask assembly become very influential in my life. So you think I’m not even watch the video that’s the other part of blogging and writing leaders.

I might do all this work creating this video anyway I didn’t watch (more…)

I fell into the water a few times it was actually seeing the seals is really cool because you know we got pretty close to them and then we ended up going out to dinner so I did some I don’t really do any work on Saturday Sunday I did do some random work but it was Mother’s Day so I did a little bit of work throughout the day leading up to the afternoon and then I went and visited my mom and spent some time there so I took a little bit of time off not on purpose but just that’s kind of how it goes Saturday was on purpose that was the big update Saturday and Sunday sales were kind of down as far as Kickstarter pledges not very many people added there but I wanted to make sure (more…)

So some other things that I’m going to be up to today Facebook Ads.

 

I’m working on Facebook Ads today I’m recording videos on how to view Kickstarter Facebook Ads at least how to set it up whether or not they are successful I’ll do other videos along the way on how to make them actually successful going to contact some influencers contact bloggers and upload some different videos as well.

In this video we’re gonna do a complete walkthrough tutorial on Google Analytics and Google Analytics is the most powerful free tool you could ever ask for. And it’s really amazing that Google does provide this service for free and we’re gonna go over how to use it a lot of people have no idea what to do and if you don’t have Google Analytics installed yet you need to do that as soon as possible it’s best if you have from day one of starting your store but then the question I get all the time is what do I do once I have all this data how do I use this data to improve my store and that’s what we’re gonna do so we’re gonna go over eight different things on how to use Google Analytics plus some more advanced tips at the end eight things are we’re gonna look at source /medium AdWords if you’re using AdWords Google Analytics can be very helpful behavior transactions goals funnels audience and segments so I’m gonna we’re gonna talk about all these and we’re gonna start with what I think is the most important thing and that is the source /medium so if you go to acquisition all traffic source /medium this is the one thing people always ask me what’s the one thing in Google Analytics you look at the most and it’s this and so I want to show you a few different things one you can change the date up here so let’s say you wanted to do from August 22nd  all the way to August 28th 2017 so that’s a that’s a year’s worth the date and this is a lot of data now keep in mind one of the problems with Google Analytics is it won’t (more…)

In this episode of the Effective Ecommerce Podcast. We’re gonna be talking how to launch a new product using Kickstarter. So I just launched a new product using Kickstarter. I did a lot of research leading up to this and tried to figure out what is the best way to launch a product using Kickstarter and I came up with a lot of different information. So I’m gonna go over all the information I came up with along with the process that I used to raise all a little over $16000, 16000  and a half thousand dollars and I know that’s not insane I know a lot of people out there talk about I raised three hundred thousand dollars using Kickstarter well something interesting I did mine in 30 days I did 30 days’ worth of work to launch to make 16  and a half thousand dollars on Kickstarter so I’m pretty proud of that I think obviously if I would have spent more time I could have done a better job also my product isn’t one of those three hundred thousand dollar products. We’ll talk about the whole process here in just a second so the real thing I wanted to try to do is figure out what is the 80/20 of launching a product using Kickstarter if you don’t know if the 80/20 it is it’s basically what’s the 20% of things I can do that will give me 80% of the results think about when you’re studying for a test usually looking back in the days when you’re setting for a test in school you could do about you could study for a long long time but ultimately what it was, was there was two you could study for let’s say five hours to get a B on (more…)

Day three of the Kickstarter today I’m a little bit burnt out the last two days is in a bit of a whirlwind when I mean a lot shooting few weeks is it a little bit of a roll one day through the Kickstarter and. So far I woke up today and that hasn’t moved much. So it’s kind of a little bit disappointing a lot protective is around a little over 7800. So the last few left full hours or. So probably increase it under 100 dollars or something like that hasn’t been a ton which is this funny because I came with these great high the first day set I was almost I moved in the first hours it’s about $7400, which is crazy and then never slow down you know it’s kind of a kind of a gut check it’s kind of a little bit of like okay you’ve got time to keep working my goal in the beginning has been to $51000,. So this is a reminder that it’s not going to be easy you know the next 2 days are going to be a challenge I’m hoping things there’s a lot of things a lot of things that I have in mind that could help kick it off and make this Kickstarter even better but it’s just a reminder that things are going to be tough. So today I’ll actually go up to Valencia which is where the B dancewear factory my other company my Meghan commerce company is located going to go up there there’s some things both for performance not that I’m going to do and just a few things with the banana store and spend some time with the parents
