We have days that we do six figures plus online. However, to get to that stage there's certain things you need to do, you really have to do to be successful. So let's hit it with number one first. Number one, think of multiple market places, okay? Too many people say well I'm gonna go ahead and make money selling on eBay or I'm gonna make money selling on Amazon or I'm gonna make money with my website. Why not use all these market places? Why not have your products in multiple market places? Now you can find our products right now on Amazon and on literally thousands of other people's websites because I have people out there that sell our products. We have our own website. We do large orders to big businesses. We have all kinds of different places we sell our products but we don't think of our products as in there's our products right there, survival cave food, we sell emergency foods but we don't think of our products as just having a website and selling the product. We look at all the different channels out there and you should too. Let's move on to number two. Number two is get reviews from happy customers. Now here's the truth. Most people will not give you a review unless it's a bad one. Normally people don't have a really good experience and say hey I wanna go write about that great experience I have. You have to incentivize them. You have to get them to do that. Now you could do that mirrored in different ways. You could say well somebody just bought from my site and I wanna trigger an email to go out to people who just purchased and you could do that through Cartra by the way. Great digital software. I use it for all my marketing. You can find a link below and watch a video on it but you can trigger an email to go out to somebody as soon as they buy and ask them for a review. Now you can incentivize this review. You can say hey if you give me a review I'm gonna enter you into a contest where we're gonna give away $500 with a free food or I can say if you give me a review I'm gonna give you $50 off your next order or whatever it may be. If you just give me a review and let me know you gave me the review. This works really really well. People won't have an incentive to give you reviews unless you incentivize them. So you need to do that. There's a lot of softwares you can use for reviews but get some reviews on your site so people can see them. Number three, right engaging and optimized product descriptions. Too many people will have products on their site and they just put the basics on there. They put the measurements of it and what the ingredients are or what it's made out of or whatever. Put in there some stuff that's interesting. I know one line I've used for the past 12 years for our survival cave food canned meats is the beef tastes just like your grandma's pot roast. And people look at me and go, man, I love my grandma's pot roast. And that's one line that I use over and over and over again and it's sold a lot of product for me but it's very descriptive. It speaks to the person, not just to the product. So make sure you're doing this. Make sure you're putting really descriptive content about all your products. And number four, make product videos. Make product videos. This is so important nowadays guys. People wanna see videos on your particular product. They wanna see how it works, how it acts. There's a couple of different kinds of videos you can do. You can do an explainer video that explains how your product works or does whatever it does for somebody. And you can also do demo videos. A demo video is actually you're demonstrating that particular product. Maybe you have a specialized kind of survival saw and you're showing how you use it out in the woods to cut down branches or something like that or maybe we take one of our canned meats and we make a recipe out of it and you see how delicious that particular recipe is. There's a lot of ways you can make videos that are actually gonna help you sell your product and videos work great. And they also show up in the search results before basic content does. So videos are gonna show up first. Number five, write about your product. Write some blogs about your product. Write some content about your product. Talk about your product. If you do this, people are gonna get more interested in them, maybe they won't be interested in it when they first read that, but it sets some brand awareness out there. When you set that brand awareness, when they see maybe an ad from you later on and they remember they read that content, they're gonna be more likely to click on that ad and maybe buy from you. Number six, send emails to advertise your product. You gotta start building an email list. I know when I first started, I didn't collect any emails. And then when I finally did collect some emails, I had a couple hundred or something like that. I would send out an email and I'd have all my products in the email. That's not what you need to do. When you have a list and you do need to have a list, you gotta build that list and I have other videos on this channel that you can watch about building lists. But once you have a list, you need to start marketing to that list. And it's gotta be specific to one product and one particular thing. So I may send out an email where I say, we're selling canned beef today. And this is the sale you buy one or five or 10 cases of it and it's a limited quantity sale. And here's where you click. So I just sell that one particular product but you gotta do that on an ongoing basis because people are constantly joining your list and they're constantly leaving your list, unfortunately. So you've gotta constantly send out emails. They've gotta be different. They can't be the same thing every time. And every now and then you gotta send out some content where they get good content about your blogs, about information that's gonna help them, something that surrounds your product like we sell survival food. So we may send out some emails that talks about protecting your family during a storm or surviving in the woods or whatever it may be, we're gonna send out emails that give good content so that when we send out an email about buying some of our products, people are gonna be more apt to look at those. Number seven, partner with affiliates. Now, this is something I did after my probably first six months in business and it really helped me grow my business and that was 12 years ago at this point. But what I did is I contacted people who had survival sites, survivalist sites, emergency sites and said, hey, we've got these canned meats and we've got these other products, these food products and you can sell them on your site and I will actually ship them out and you don't have to buy any inventory. So we had all these affiliates out there that were selling our products. That's a great way to make money. We also are on sites like Share Asale and other sites like that where people can actually market to our website and they get a commission. So get that affiliate thing, get that affiliate thing rolling in the beginning. That way on down the road, it really gains momentum and you can sell a lot more of your products. Number eight, use personalized ads. You know, with technology nowadays there's so many things you can do that you couldn't do in advertising before. It used to be you'd run an ad on TV or radio the entire population would hear it and only a small segment of that population would even be interested. But now you can do things like Google ads. You could run an ad to people who have been to your website in the past 30 days. That's pretty cool. You know they already have some interest and they've been there and if they haven't bought from you, you could even make it more specified. So you can say people who went to my canned beef page but didn't buy the canned beef, I could run an ad just to them and it could be saying, still thinking about canned beef, here's three reasons why you should buy ours. You can do these things nowadays that you could never do before. Make sure you take advantage of these and utilize these tools, these advertising tools that have never been available to anybody before. Number nine, share your products and your day on social media. So you could actually put your products on social media. You could put pictures, you could put short videos. You could, let's say you have products in a warehouse. You could show yourself walking through the warehouse, you know, checking your inventory. Maybe you're selling digital products and you could show yourself actually working on one of the digital products, something that's gonna be coming out soon and you could show them the inside scoop as to how you create your digital products. Or maybe it's a course, there's so many things you could do on social media today and people wanna see the process. They wanna see you going through the process of running your business. If you show them the process of running your business, of helping other people, of selling products to other people, they're gonna get more involved. If they get more involved, they're gonna be a whole lot more likely to buy your products. You see, selling products online is not just one thing. It's many things. And I know it seems like a lot. And I know it seems like a lot of work. But the payoff, the payoff has been to us millions and millions and millions of dollars in sales. Wouldn't you like to have that? I mean, wouldn't you like to have that? Having that income just changes so much for you. It allows you to protect your family, take care of your family, live a better life, live in the houses you want, drive the cars you want, wear the clothes you want and help other people and get involved in charity. And it makes you feel so good when you can help other people. So go through all these steps, go back and watch the video again. Start from step one, go all the way through step nine and do these things with your products and you're gonna sell more products and you're gonna make more money. And then you know what I want?
