Sales on Demand Show

There was a time when college was the far-flung hope of every parent, especially the poor and marginalized.  Sending a child to college became the stepping stone to a successful life, particularly when only 5% of the population had a college degree.

Now, nearly 35% of the US adult population has a degree, and the value has been largely diluted.  Student debt is a $1.3 trillion dollar house of cards, and many students are drowning, with few good prospects for rescue.

In this episode, I take a hard, but fair look at the North American post secondary education system, and I discuss some of the pros, cons, as well as what I see as being the future of employment and success in our world.

With Socialism becoming an almost mainstream ideology in 2020, I thought it would be great to talk about the real MVP of our society, Free Market Capitalism.

This will be the first in a series of training sessions that will have a more broad approach.

I'm a busy guy.  Some people look at my life and say "You might be too busy my friend", and perhaps that might be a tiny bit true, but I sure love everything that's going on in my life!

Being busy doesn't have to mean neglecting your business however!  Today, I talk about how to make time for growing your print on demand business, whether you are part time or full time.

COMING SOON - My all in one course is nearly ready!  In a month or so, I will be offering a soup-to-nuts, A to Z training guide to get you started with Print on Demand.  I haven't decided how much I will charge for it, but it will be WELL worth the cost, and I'll probably offer a discount for listeners to the show!

A short vacation was had, and it was good, very good indeed!  As promised, I bring the value today with a primer on using Amazon's PPC (Pay per Click) advertising to improve sales.  This is a relatively advanced technique that is only available to Amazon Pro users who also have the Buy Box, but it is very effective, and has helped me reach sales volumes that I could not have achieved otherwise!

Mother's Day and Father's Day are nearly at an end, and this year has seen record sales!

I sell on both Etsy and Amazon, but my favorite platform is very much Amazon, and in today's episode I go through three reasons why that is so.  Naturally, many or even most sellers would perhaps disagree, and that's ok, we all have our preferences.

We are now coming into the summer season, but there is still a ton of opportunity to sell, so don't miss this episode, and the ones to come!

It's not quite official, but the bulk of Mother and Father's day sales are pretty much done.  Most orders won't likely arrive in time, although customers will continue to buy even up to the very day itself, which is June 21st.

This leaves the summer, which can be a bit slower, but not if you are taking the strategies I talk about in this episode!  I outline a bunch of excellent and effective niches to target all year round, and I also talk about some important changes that Amazon has made to the title's of listings.

Join me and thousands of other sellers on the only mentorship group that matters for Print on Demand - The Low Hanging System!  

The gong show that is 2020 continues, and in this episode I discuss some insane changes that Amazon has made, and the fallout from looting and rioting in America.  

With all of the uncertainty right now, it constantly amazes me that an online business like selling Print on Demand could survive, never mind thrive, but, here we are in the best selling season that I've seen in 3 years!

This won't last forever, life has to return to something resembling "normal" at some point, and in this episode I make some predictions about the months, and years to come.

Today, we are still in the middle of the greatest selling season since Christmas, but I tackle the hard question: what comes next?  Also, I review a listener's store, and discuss some mistakes that new sellers tend to make, and how to correct those missteps.

This episode is all about sending items to far flung destinations, like Saskatchewan, where about 1,000,000 people live, believe it or not.  I also talk about how to sell on Amazon and Etsy, if you don't already live in the US.  This episode is long, and packed with information, so don't miss it!
