  • hi friend.
    Theresa has a new business idea.
    i give her help.
    always encourage new business owners to follow their heart.
    wherever they end up its a good spot.
    this life is about living.
    too many people telling you to play it safe.
    the safety zone = NPC destiny.
    an NPC has the same "safe experiences" as everyone else.
    that's not what we're about at the ecom soup factory.
    go all the way.

    I'm a founder in the more tech side of startups (not ecom). I still watch your videos, they have been infinitely valuable, applying theses same concepts to our startup. All of this is so true, the secret to success is to get really good at defining the immediate next step in front of you. And of course, actually executing on that step. Rinse, repeat.

    Really loved this video and felt like I had something to say... Started my copywriting journey a while ago, and been grinding since. When you said "Do I want to see what I'm made of or do I want to keep being a little bitch?" That resonated with me so well as this is my mindset right now. It's like fighting with myself between "continue working" and "I'll stop right here". But the answer so far has been the first one luckily as I always think about what's on the other side of this river I'm trying to cross. Thanks for the fantastic content by the way!

    It's truly crazy how people underestimate or don't grasp the cost of university courses. You're so right. If you want to truly learn about running a business, the experience of doing it, by failing at it, in most cases the best education.

    My personal advice for a complex product like this would be is to craft the very best customer avatar, like super nieche, and create ads and a landingpage for it. If nobody signs up for the waitlist, don't even bother creating a prototype. Can safe you a lot of money if you figure out if you actually got product market fit first

      interesting advice - i think it's hard to get product market fit when you're a rookie marketer.
      so that's hard to hit a home run first go.
      my advice is to use her team (engineer bf, fashion designer friend) to get a prototype up and see if the product she wants to make can be materialised for a feasible price.
      then take the next steps

    Total tools have a sale on m12 heated jackets atm.
    The battery feel bulky. Light on the logo is cool.
    I think the main thing is going to be your battery system.
    Michelle has a vest one you can borrow if you want.
    Michelle would use it more if she remembered to charge the battery or if it was easier to charge.
    I reckon for your first build you should mod a m12 jacket. This was you don’t catch old mate’s folding desk on fire.

    Man, this shit is so valuable I love it. If I am starting to test a drop-shipped product that is more complex and has huge benefits but are science backed. Is it crucial to create an advertorial or can I just create a solid product page on shopify? Also I feel like if I am running a simple static ad, a more complex landing page would be more of a necessity. Thanks as always🤙🏾

    • @EcomSoup
      @EcomSoup  Месяц назад

      it all just depends on how quickly you can create desire and trust.
      i know that sounds vague but that's really what you're trying to find out at all times. those are your two north stars to base all of your creative.
      but the answer is nobody can truly tell you, they will be guessing. so its just up to you to test all your hunches.

    How hard did you find it at the start? im about 1y 10m into my ecom journey.. started with paid, really enjoyed it tbh, was fulfilling... obs stressful, just couldnt find a winner. Then went to organic (current stage), and it just isnt the same. Might of reached a burn out. Sooo many Ls, and barely any Ws... how im stil going, and the hunger is still there, i couldnt tell you haha... but i cant give up, jsut cant. Doesnt feel right, but equally... it has been so tough. How was your earlier days?

    • @spermwater
      @spermwater Месяц назад

      You can dropship, but you're further down the value tree and are essentially the marketing department of the producer/factory. The next step up the value chain would be adding your logo and customising the product for market differentiation, then you are in simple terms developing the product and also likely holding stock at 3PL, marketing efforts would start on brand building. Validate with sales and scale up operations to get that sweet $$$.
