- E-Commerce and Digital Marketing Research (Niches, early phase research for sales)
E-Commerce and Digital Marketing Research (Niches, early phase research for sales). Approaches to consider regarding niche choices, branding, brainstorming and product choices for dropshipping goods and digital products.
Have you ever sold anything before? Did you ever have a lemonade stand as a kid? What about a yard sale or car wash or breakfast fund raiser through your school? How did you market? Maybe you had flyers in advance and marketed to supporting parents, neighbors or used signs to point the traffic toward your event? If so, that was your very first stab at marketing for sales! You took the appropriate interested audience, you knew the best time and location to set up shop, and you hopefully made some sales. If you did not make sales, it was likely not the right time, location, or there was not enough announcing going into the event.
Task: Start with what you know if you want a lower barrier to entry. Some niches while fun and appealing may not work out if you have to spend 3 years learning about it to have enough content to even create.

24 min - E-commerce Options (retail arbitrage versus digital products)
Selling goods online through retail arbitrage versus selling a digital product.
Dropshipping products versus providing services.Why do you want to sell in the first place? Most people will state "I want to make money." That is not good enough!
Many of you know I used to work at a mental health clinic. So I use that experience in multiple examples here. One job role in case management required me to take a list of qualified clients (provided by the insurance) and contact those clients to enroll them onto my caseload. Did I begin my initial calls with "Hi, I am calling from your insurance, my company needs money and I get paid hourly for every billable service I conduct with clients. Will you please allow me to enroll you so that I can get my hourly wage and my company can in turn be reimbursed by the insurance?" HECK NO! Nobody would pitch a free health support service to a client like that! Instead I said something along the lines of "Hi sir/ma'am, if you have 1 minute I can explain that I am calling from your insurance about a free services. We are enrolling clients who need help with obtaining extra free food, support with scheduling with doctors, free transportation to appointments, or assistance for the homeless to connect to housing." THIS WORKED FANTASTICALLY! At the very least, people would want the free food and free scheduling services.
Clients and customers deserve value. And they can sniff a rat from a mile away. Most of us are so savvy with scams and sales pitches that it usually elicits an emotional response. Think of all the spam calls and junk emails we see daily. We don't even need to read them to know that they are spam. The weird typos, the strange lettering, the misspelled names and general odd appearance to the formatting gives us all the signs necessary to know that we might not need to read it or answer the phone call after all.
Task: What service are you actually providing? Is the product you are selling worth the price? Does it address any pain points? Know your audience and know your customer, and most of all know their specific needs. With the economy as it is, no one is just buying things unless they have an impulsivity issue. Most purchases are well thought out and are based on actual needs. People want to feel more beautiful, get more educated, have more opportunity, make more money and be successful, be healthy and in shape. If you are not providing a good product or a good service, you will not get sales.

21 min - E-Commerce and digital marketing for beginners (finding your niche)
Finding a niche for beginners can feel like a world of complexity and confusion. A niche is an overall umbrella category that can be branded and monetized to sell goods or services. The services or goods don’t even have to be yours! But goods and services can be sold on e-commerce platforms through the use of digital marketing skills to promote your brand of goods or services. Do you like this topic? Check out more and varied details on the blog here: https://medium.com/p/ed42ee32981/edit.
Task: Figure out which niches you already know. Categorize the content you already consume. Maybe you watch tons of Netflix or go to the gym or hike, or travel. Any of these areas will have additional enthusiasts who will also want to engage with your content..

22 min - ai and the Impacts to Money in E-commerce & Digital Marketing (monetization and demonetization)
We were warned that ai would bite us. Are all these platform monetization and eligibility changes due to ai? Are they due to the economy? Are they due to corporate greed? Let’s spark this conversation and get into the nitty gritty. Many of us use ChatGPT. Many of us have become professionals at prompts and incorporation of ai generated content into our organic creations. But what the heck on earth is happening? Share this content with other creators. Don’t forget to check out the blog as well: https://medium.com/@gameandcompute/monetization-and-demonetization-platforms-and-changes-to-your-money-5be2282cb4d4
Task: Learn about how you can use ai generated content to your advantage. Many people want to use ai as a method of making infinite income with zero effort. All the content that promotes such methods appears to be a waste of time. Have you tried any of those quick methods? And if so, how far did it get you? Notice that most platforms are cracking down against ai generated content and the algorithms are being built against it in some cases.

17 min - Work Satisfaction and Financial Satisfaction (energy and spending cycles and impact on happiness)
Work Satisfaction and Financial Satisfaction (energy and spending cycles and impact on happiness). It’s time to revamp the Game and Compute Podcast and get back to the roots of what the audience wants to hear about. Thanks for sticking with us all this time! Let’s get back to our roots and talk about Work Satisfaction and Financial Satisfaction (energy and spending cycles and impact on happiness). The status quo is being challenged lately. Is education debt worth it? What other options are available for job training and work placement? How can we get income that is adequate? How much money do most people really have available to them?
Task: Begin to study for yourself which career field you prefer to work in. If you are gaining work experience or switching from one field to another, learn the ins and outs of how long will be required for you to study, and the average time for job placement. Know the cost of entry, and any barriers to entry. Learn about field saturation and search the potential job market. Are there even available jobs? If so, how many postings exist on platforms such as LinkedIn and Indeed? How many people are applying to these postings and how many postings go up per day?
