Setting goals for your business: The RIGHT WAY to go about it!

Posted on March 24, 2017 by admin

The core of a business lies in its goals. These goals serve as a yardstick to measure the success of any business. In the absence of goals, there is no way to know if your hard work has paid off. So, goal setting is very important to the business structure and should be an integral part of it. The question now is, how do you set these business goals?

Have realistic targets: In the sells like hot cakes program, we have set the goal to reach $45,000 profit per month, and there is a reason for this. Nobody is saying you shouldn’t dream BIG, but when it comes to goals, you should have realistic targets and not overt fantasies that will have you beating yourself up at the end of the day. Remember; great things have small beginnings.

Be specific: Being ambiguous won’t get things done; it’ll only cause distraction and confusion. Know exactly what you want, down to the finest detail and then channel your resources towards the pursuit of that target.

Remain Committed: In order to see your plan through you should stay motivated and ensure you finish what you started. Avoid procrastination and stay focused until you’ve achieved what you set out to do.

Take Action! It’s one thing to say something and entirely a different thing to actually do something. The talkers of this world don’t go very far. Don’t just be a talker, BE a DOER! After setting your goals, rise up and take the necessary actions to achieve them. Actions speak louder than words…

Follow these simple principles, and you would’ve laid a concrete foundation to build your business upon. Ensure to check our video course on “Your Ultimate Blueprint to get from ZERO to $45,000 profit per month” If you can follow this guide meticulously, you are guaranteed success in your e-commerce business.

Hi friends... Is "Pet Rock" a good product to sell? seems like an eaasy winner and super original.

50.0000

Rob says at 21:03 et

pet rock.. hm.. Not really.. run the numbers on the Best Seller finder.. u see most sales are made by 2-3 sellers, others are struggling. It's also too cheap of a product, Average price of the product from top 10 sellers: $13.13 (Approximate FBA fees: $2.63)

For VA (Virtual assistant) better flat rate or hourly??

Evan says at 21:50 et

I never give a flat rate. I always offer hourly because some months it varies and I would never to over pay

Amazoners... with new UPC rules, is it better to print the FNSKU directly onto the product instead of a UPC?

Alice says at 22:23 et

yes i did it and it worked fine

How's everybody else's experience with Amazon? My planned price range is in the $30 range. Maybe better $20 or $40? or $15?

Tyro Meg says at 22:40 et

Cheaper = easier to sell but harder to profit.
Expensive = harder to sell but more profit

Kylie says at 22:40 et

Stick to the golden rules. Saw the videos of the course? If your product is under $20 then BUNDLE it (or make a SET)

Caleb says at 22:55 et

You don't have to be the cheapest product to compete. My best selling products are also the most expensive products in my niche. It comes down to perceived value. If people see your price is higher, give them a reason why. Make sure your packaging is not just great, It should be amazing.

Ranking question.. Should I put typos? Fill out the 5K characters you have on the back end?

50.0000

Uncle Sam says at 22:54 et

Amazon now lets you put just 1k not 5k anymore... I Quote "There is a 1,000 character limit for keywords. These 1,000 characters can be provided all on one line or split between 5 lines."

50.0000

chris says at 22:58 et

Put brand name first... If you do a search for 10 different products and look at the 1st page results, you will likely see that in almost every case, the majority of listings are dominated by titles that start with a brand name

Kylie says at 22:59 et

Should i use commas?

50.0000

Evan says at 22:59 et

I do not use commas for keywors. Only spaces for the back end keywords seartch terms.

Misspellings are awesome. Try to get indexed for common misspellings, I get tons of sales of it

Hai, I am obsessed with online business. I have bought some e-commerce affiliate software, that is completed with with Youtube video review for every product I added. The e-commerce is linking to social media. It covered three affiliate : Amazon, Ebay, and Ali express. Organic traffic is about 8,000 visitors in 3 months, but ZERO affiliate hit. No sales. Then yesterday I saw this system. Here claimed can get usd 45,000/month if we follow all the guide. My question, if we just started with Shopify, and we follow the guide, is it possible to get that number? By some posting I read, the contribution is more come from FBA instead of Shopify. Nice to meet you all here.

Lane says at 01:25 et

Glad to have you here. There are many shops on shopify that are doing much more than 45k, it's a pretty modest number but after couple of years you should be doing much more than that. just take your time to learn!

Leslie says at 01:27 et

Videos provide two examples of searching niche. I need more. By the time I go to camel, and best finder, and video, back and forth, i get lost. I thought I found something, all looked good, until I went to aliexpress. Price was more than amazon! That was hours of research for a dead end. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

50.0000

Father says at 01:30 et

Aliexpress price does not have to be lower than amazon.. Aliexpress is only good for Shopify Dropshipping business.

If you plan AMAZON FBA business, then check prices on Alibaba, not on amazon! hope it helps!

Leslie says at 22:56 et

Can't do FBA until business succeeds. The lower the price when buying, the better one can compete with anyone. I don't want to stock or ship, so I'll stick with the dropshipping model. I'll Keep searching I guess.The videos however are very good. Some company tried to sell me $3500 dollar CDN course on dropshipping. Was already doing what they are teaching. This is way better!

Claudia says at 22:57 et

Thank you Leslie. Don't buy into overpriced courses. All the tools you need is right here. FBA model you can also start without big investments using the "alibaba wholesale" instead of whitelabelling... One of the videos cover it.

How are you guys? Great news, we started the beta of the new tool, called "Reverse ASIN". Take a look if this can help you http://sellslikehotcakes.co/reverse_asin.php
Remember it works only for the high ranked products to let you spy on your competitors. You can no reverse asin products that are not ranked in top 100. Really a great tool, similar to Keyword inspector but no need to pay for credits.

I am at Seller Summit in Miami guys! Great event it's going to be! All top amazon sellers gurus are here!

wade says at 21:14 et

Thats awesome - I hope you learn a lot of new tricks to share ;)

Mike says at 21:16 et

Super exciting news guys! I just came from the Sellers Summit conference in Miami, it’s the biggest Amazon seller conference in USA organized by Steve Chou

?I had a unique chance to see in person and to talk and listen to the industry leaders such as Greg Mercer (the creator of Jungle Scout), Scott Voelker (the creator of The amazing seller podcast) and of course Manuel Becvar, the creator of ImportDojo and Number 1 Best selling Amazon Course on Udemy.

I had also a chance to talk to Manuel after the session and even made a short video interview where he is going to share his secrets and insights on how to choose the right product and avoid getting scammed. Once I get back home from the trip, I will edit and release the video, really great stuff.
?
The conference was really amazing, a lot of great new strategies, tips and tricks on what is working RIGHT NOW on Amazon. However the biggest surprise for me was that most people have not started yet, they are stuck in the research phase and take too much time picking the product. That’s why I plan to release more videos with helpful tips and ideas on how to pick the right product, right from the start.

During the conference we had a great chance to talk to ex-amazon employees and see how it all works. The biggest thing you need to know is that Amazon is BOOMING right now and it is also cracking down on the shady sellers and scammers, that means you have a great timing to get started and take a piece of the 250 billion dollar industry! Don’t miss out and take action, the timing can’t be better!

Wait… You don’t have time to start ecommerce business? I heard that million times. Truth is, we all have same amount of time, it’s only about HOW you spend your time and what your priorities are. Setting your passive income should be the highest priority and will set you up for life. You don’t have to quit your job, just start it part time, in the evening, on the weekends and you will have a great passive income stream that will bring you money for years to come.

Today during the lunch break I talked to George, he started his coffee related business on Amazon just 7 months ago (on the side from his main job) but already making over $15,000 in sales every month. All is possible! He did not quit his job.. but he might soon

That’s why the best time to get started is right now!

Stay tuned for more videos and updates! And remember if you have any questions, let me know!

Mike
