Just want to say something: I tried Amazon business as my first businness and what you said is absolutely the truth... In 2 years of selling on Amazon my end profit is actually negative. I had found one of the best product I could of sell and still lose money at the end and a lot of time. Now I built my own website and try to sell ebook and online course.
A big hug and a million of thanks for your honesty and great heart. I am a grandma all de digital word is very new and scary for me. You were like my grandson making sure nana understand and don't make big mistakes. Love you already.
Brother I want to thank you for this and all of your videos, I have been wanting to sell digital products and courses online forever, thank you for the simplicity, your are changing lives brother, one life at a time, thank you, thank you, thank you, it is 12:43 pm, 2/4/2021, tomorrow I will be signing up for Samcart. Once again, thank you.
Brian you most definitely can relate to my and others 'pain points' about becoming a successful internet business. Your training is current and relevant so here I am listening!
Man you are a gem! The way you explained all this without any BS is amazing.. I wish I could have found a mentor like you 10 years ago. Hats off to you mate.
Thanks so much for this video. I have been struggling to figure out what type of product I want to make first. I had a high-end linen boutique and I've thought of selling comforters and down products again because, it's simple and can be streamlined. You make it sound as if I don't need a site to do that. Interesting. I've been concerned about selling physical product because of the cost associated with returns. Drop shipping is great but, your vendors can cull your clients unless you take possesion of product and then ship it to your customer-. Shipping is a big expense and HEADACHE. . Vendors trying to cull our clients was a problem already when we had a store, sneaking cards into packaging with a request for contact information. Digital product makes sense because you own it and the cost of producing it is minimal. The cost of a return is minimal versus refunding customers for inventory for which you have paid.
Just starting..Brian what do you recommend, the slide check out or the 5 day course. And thanks a million for all your sharing of your knowledge...Mike Prado
This video opened my eyes! Thank you for Samcart! My question is, can you connect your Samcart business or whatever niche you choose to Print On Demand services to print and advertise your brand on t-shirts or other clothing items? And scale to other related products, ebooks, and services?
I have subjected myself to countless tutorials and this is definitely one of the most honest and useful! Just trying to save you some suffering. The tip of not doing merch upfront is worth the time alone!
Here's a question that might spark an idea... What problems were you facing 2-3 years ago (in your career, in your hobby, in your life)? What did you do to solve it? Could you teach this to your friend?
What about MLM / Network Marketing Products? I get the affiliate downside.My only thought is that if the company goes south - the consultant/associate is screwed too. hmm....
Where is our digital product held/hosted. Eg if I want to sell a song/mp3 file. Or a video file. Where is that file kept? On my computer? On your server?
We keep your digital files on a server. Here's the how-to article for delivering digital files: help.samcart.com/support/solutions/articles/60000648147-deliver-digital-files
@@samcartapp or we can send links to the lessons/course material via Vimeo (for example)? And is having items held/hosted on your server available at the lower pricing? And thanks btw for replying so fast. That’s a tick!!
Brian, couldn't we start out with an affiliate which should be quicker to make some money upfront then do the ebook? what about for beginner like myself start out doing Samcart as Affiliate?
I think it's a matter of passion. What are you going to be more passionate about - your book or someone else's? When times are tough, and you're tired, which one will you have the energy for?
Ok so this video really discourages PRODUCT businesses but on other videos it's been said that you CAN sell products online with Samcart. We are looking to swap 1 product from Big Commerce in Australia. We want to trial Samcart to launch international. Is Samcart the right fit?
Brian, I just saw your video on how to get started with the 10 secrets and just purchased my first year with Samcart. I'm nervous and this is my first but I have all the confidence your course will help me get through it.
You say to avoid doing affiliate products, and yet you do have an affiliate program for samcart. Do you think that marketing your product is not a good idea?
Thanks so much Brian for the great insights. I'm currently an affiliate in my early 5 figures days. I don't have any digital product idea at the moment as I'm into blogging mostly. What type of product should I create in this scenario?
Hey Wait A Minute! I clicked on this Video after seeing the click-bait advertisement popup-- I thought it was the actor Topher Grace from "That 70s Show"!! Sure had me fooled
Great info. I've been following you for a while. I like your content and style. I've been creating material in Spanish, and I have a few more ideas to create more content. Do you have any data on how this business model works in the Hispanic market in the USA and/or Latin America?
Great Insights! I'm planning a Founders Membership Launch soon. Does SamCart have a platform to manage a membership site? My offer is definitely a Digital Product but offers in-house incentives to scale up in skills, and personal development. Is your 1-page suitable as a [discounted] affiliate link if they want to expand on their [membership funnel that is included in the membership offer?
My comment is art. Paintings. But I have seen the Tim Ferriss concept in line with what u r saying..so for me art classes online. Not sure if anyone would buy them honestly...I am very outspoken about veganism and politics too on Facebook. So I have probably made lots of people mad🤣...and other artists way better than me...tbh...so what to do? I always wanted to develop and teach something art related or incorporate both interests... ha nuts I know...idk...
Carolyn, I have learned we all have something to teach someone. 3 years ago I started my youtube channel for example. I hesitated because I didn't think I was articulate enough. I thought there was a lot of people better at this type of stuff than I am. What I learned is we all have something to share and we all have someone willing to listen (pay for classes - I sell a digital product now). Maybe in your case it's teach some basics to people who are interested in art but may be intimidated for formal instruction. Just an idea.
Digital products!! What if one bought the ebook and if he keep on sharing it with others. No one will buy if its available from all other places on the internet. what to do about it?
Ahmed Ageel you honestly shouldn’t worry about that at all, for two reasons. 1.) there are ways to protect it, and SamCart actually does that automatically for you. And 2.) 99% of people are honest and won’t wrongfully share it with others or download it without paying. Far too many people worry about that single issue, and it keeps them from ever launching a business in the first place.
@@samcartapp Thanks for the quick reply but you, especially people from US and other developed countries cant even imagine how things are in countries like Maldives. I live in Maldives and there is no way anybody can do anything if his intellectual properties are shared with others openly. People here think that its fine to use it like that. When the ball comes to my end, the sad thing is that even all the apps on my computer are from someone or somewhere. Excuse is, we are poor 3rd world country and cant afford to buy them hence use it for learning purposes. and when my own product is copied by other person, I have problem with it. Leaving it aside, my question is, is there any way I can prevent them from sharing my ebooks with others. Copyright is something we dont know here in Maldives.
@@samcartapp I understand that one has to buy from the website to download it but my concern is that ONE bought it and downloaded and then he keeps on sharing it with others or leave it free on the internet. I have no way here in Maldives to find that person and take him to justice. So, I think, such digital products or ebooks are not for countries like us who doesnt respect copyrights and others intellectual properties. I think this is one of the reasons why we are not developing.
@@bandeyri2 People that want to steal something, will find a way. 99% of people won't do that, and you're only hurting yourself by letting that stop you from selling to the majority of honest people out there. If your entire customer base is truly made up of people that will steal and share it wrongfully...you need to find a new group of people to sell to.
Loved the video and now I want to see more videos. I bought into Samcart, but didn't know what to do to get started with it. Would like more training!!
Your videos are well done and informative. BUT PLEASE drop the music in the background. It's distracting, unnecessary and makes it seem like I'm watching a commercial.
What the hey?!...NOW you say "stay away from physical products"??? I wish you had told me that DURING your webinar...you know, BEFORE you talked me into buying a 1yr membership, by saying "SamCart works GREAT for EVERYTHING!"? (You even specifically mentioned the exact physical product I am looking to sell, when you were rattling off that huge list of items that you perfectly suited for SamCart. Lol) Hey, you know that scene from Charlie Brown...where Lucy pulls the football away, just when Charlie Brown is about to kick it? Yeah...so okay, well done, Lucy! You played me. But im not quitting yet. I might still make it work. Well, that sucks to hear u say that now
Hey Maria, THIS video you commented on is for people who don't have their product ready to sell yet at all. If you have a physical product idea ready to sell, this video isn't for you at all. But SamCart IS great for you! Check this out: ruclips.net/video/M0L-Um5hOZs/видео.html

Hi, Sam & thank you so much.
This is my 1st video tutorial of yours. And man did love it.
I am looking hope aboard Sam cart class

thank you, I want to sell something but stuck on what to sell
Here's a question that might spark an idea...
What problems were you facing 2-3 years ago (in your career, in your hobby, in your life)?
What did you do to solve it?
Could you teach this to your friend?
You can do physical products now with print on demand like Printify.
Thank you!!
I couldn't find video one.....can you post it here. Pretty Please.......Sherri

Thx for your inner knowledge lesson. I always want to do the physical product, but you just showed me a new way.

I don't have a digital product yet, it's hard to wait for your training on building your own digital products tomorrow.
what digital product did you end up selling/designing?
Excellent and honest presentation!
Glad it helped!
Brian what are you thoughts about a newbie doing POD with Shopify & Printify or Printful?
Thanks Brian for putting out this video! breaking it down so clearly and simply. Much appreciated!!
Happy to help, Brian! Send us your questions, we might make a video out of it.
To start off can I dropship using samcart? If so how can I get started with creating a page?
