Running Successful Special Sales: How to make BIG TIME BUCKS on Christmas!

Posted on August 6, 2017 by admin

August is here and it’s time to check on your progress!

I know some of you did take action and I saw some submissions in the Critics section of Sells like hot cakes members area, so if you have not submitted there – I urge you to do it! “Critics” is a great way to get your progress reviewed by me and the community of experts which can give you valuable insights! If you are very secretive you can submit anonymously as well.

Tip of the month:

Christmas is coming soon! No joke! August is time to prepare and plan your big Christmas sales. Some products like funny mugs are very seasonal and can be sold only on Christmas, so if you plan to develop such product, it usually takes 2-3 months to get it done and take it to the market, now is the right time to start! Of course, I’ll also talk about Amazon FBA. For dropshipping, you don’t need to prepare a product, but what you need to do is prepare a section of your Shopify store to handle the sale or a special collection.

Don’t forget your Halloween special sales and Thanks giving as well!

Each special day generates awesome sales if you run a 2-3 day special.

Keep pushing and developing your products and you will succeed, I am sure! Don’t just read and learn but TAKE ACTION!

If you have any questions, let me know, I am always very responsive (I try to!)

P.S. If you enjoy the course please don’t forget to share it on Facebook and leave a review, it helps to spread the word. During the next few months, I plan to release more videos for you with real time examples of what we do!

What's canton fair?

Claudia says at 22:21 et

China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, is held biannually in Guangzhou every spring and
autumn, with a history of 55 years since 1957. The Fair is a comprehensive one with the longest history, the
highest level, the largest scale, the most complete exhibit variety, the broadest distribution of overseas buyers and
the greatest business turnover in China http://www.cantonfair.org.cn/en/index.aspx

Today's marks the 5th product launch on Amazon. First product failed completely. Second was ok (4 units per day), 3rd was a flop. 4th was 20 units per day (I think i strike the gold here). Looking for a new one! So far I am making around $700 per day and looking to grow more! this stuff WORKS!

I'm starting shopify, any tips on what kind of products ell best for you?

lou says at 16:23 et

I have good success with Print On Demand T-Shirts and Mugs.. Search Tee launch and Tee spring... Best part is that you don't need to dropship - they fullfill orders for you! Hard part is to get it profitable. You must find a passionate niche. Use the Niche finder from sellslikehotcakes - see menu above

Last year i was successful selling trendy products, like Solar Powered Speakers, Solar powered iPhone chargers, wireless chargers. All that geeks love!

Claudia says at 16:45 et

Try DOG stickers. Give them away for free and charge 2 usd for shipping. Then upsell your customers with second offer!

Kylie says at 16:47 et

Nick, Jewerly is super seller. Find it cheap on aliexpress, you typically spend $1.00 per item – $1.50 to acquire a customer – $2.00 Shipping and then we sell them for $15.00 + a $19.99 upsell which converts at like 20%...

necklace+ earlings
ring then upsell earrings

make sure it is related to your passionate niche (ie dog lovers etc)

Example PUG Necklace https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20170218084713&SearchText=pug+necklace

Does this work for residents in Australia?

Claudia says at 13:48 et

of course. You dont need to live in USA to get started.. In fact, I am not even from USA but I sell on Amazon and Shopify just fine! It does not matter where you live, it matters where you SELL.

Xuan says at 13:08 et

Hi I'm newbie here :)! 3 days I run camp ads fb but not effective
. I till not have first sale for me :(. I don't have direction right for me? How do you make the first sale?

Theo says at 13:09 et

hi Xuan, it depends on many factors. what is your store? what product you sell? what ads you run? You might want to submit your project to Critics here http://sellslikehotcakes.co/critics.php and everyone will help brainstorming it.

Sathaporn says at 01:59 et

I think the big concern is shipping times for dropshipping with Shopify. Anyone that have more experience in this concern...please give me for advice. Thanks!!

there is a video about it http://sellslikehotcakes.co/videos.php "The BIGGEST Problem with Dropshipping: TIPS and HACKS on how to SOLVE it " in shopify bonus section

Ricardo says at 02:00 et

Hi, I have one question, maybe someone could help me: What if I work with 3 providers from Aliexpress, and I make an upsell on my store, but each product is is from a different provider. So, my customer will have this separately, will I have to tell him/her that would come in different time? (something rare that figure I think (?))

This providers offer different things for the same niche, so their product are great for an upsell for the other provider.*

Claudia says at 02:05 et

I think it does not matter if all comes same or not. People are not expecting all products to be in same pack these days, you know even with amazon many times the products are shipped separately even if you order same day.

Ricardo says at 12:15 et

great!!
thanks Claudia

Emma says at 02:06 et

I agree it's not a problem. If customer asks you reply that you ship from different warehouses.

Pavel says at 02:17 et

What to do in case of goods return taking into consideration that delivery done to US and I am located outside of US? Does it mean that returned goods to be deliveried to my home? How I should proceed in such cases?

Alex says at 02:18 et

Hi Pavel. There is a video lesson talking about it, you can set the forwarding address in US.

Pavel says at 13:27 et

Alex, thank you. Could you please indicate the name of the video.

casey says at 13:28 et

It was I think a video about the biggest problems with dropshipping and how to solve it

Pavel says at 02:18 et

Any answers? It is important to know in such situations. Similar questions related to refunds. How to work with the suppliers in case of refunds? I will appreciate answers for my questions.

Violet says at 02:19 et

If you do FBA then Amazon will take care of returns and refunds.
If you do dropshipping then customer can return item to your forwarding address. If the item is cheap it's easier just refund without return.

Pavel says at 13:27 et

Yes, I do understand it. Thank you. The question related to dropshipping part.

Juan says at 03:38 et

Hi, I've been working on setting up my shopify store, I was just wondering how many items should i have to sell before i go live.

50.0000

Mike says at 03:40 et

hi Juan. It depends a lot on your niche. There are stores with just 1 or 3 products. There are stores with thousands of products. If you sell a pill or something really unique then the less products the better. IF you sell more like everything store then the more the better.

Juan says at 15:36 et

thanks for the feedback Mike, I will be posting the site for critique soon

Mike says at 15:38 et
