I honestly doubt it. Sure, there are ways to make money doing it. But making a user buy something solely based on ads without a brand name is hard. I know I wouldn’t buy it.

Data Analyst

I've got a product that I want to try and sell to the US audience. I am terrible when it comes to marketing and sales. More of an engineer at heart. 

I tried my hand at finding affiliate marketers with not much luck. The problem is I don't know how to find them. 

Currently trying to find Influencers on Instagram who can talk about the product. But they're all too expensive.

How to market my product to the US audience

I am a new founder in the D2C space. I just placed my first order from a Chinese supplier and am looking to list the product line on Amazon and my own website. 

Any advice for me? Can be around anything. Hiring, selling on Amazon, building & selling on my own website, company registration, partnership arrangements, branding, positioning, packing, customer support etc.

Is it just me or lately too many instagram ads I have been seeing selling courses ranging from AI, FE, BE, Data science, SQL, from today even some courses teaching power BI and all started appearing in my feed. 

Looks like so called tech influencer are trying to cash in on the current market conditions by selling their courses.

Has anyone else seen this trend?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I and my 3 mates, are looking to build a side hustle in Dropshipping with the help of a successful mentor (@desirichkid on Instagram, if you've heard of him)

He boasts of a lavish lifestyle online and tbh, the guy does seem very genuine. Regularly showcases his 1:1 mentorship client results, but rarely posts any info about them, as to not expose his winning strategies.

6000 euros is his fees for a 6 month mentorship programme, which involves a 1:1 session every week, in which he aims to help us build towards a 6 figure sales mark.

~ Roughly 5.8 lakhs

A little background, my CTC is 12lpa.
And as 4 partners, I'd be pitching in 1.5-2 lakhs, over a course of 3 installments, month over month.

Am I making the right decision? Shall I trust the guy?

Thinking of paying 5.7 lakhs to a mentor for helping me build a killer side hustle - Dropshipping

Hey Folks,
Wishing you all a very happy new year in advance.
I require some guidance, so thought of asking it here.

My main goal for 2024 is to become a ‘modern’ LinkedIn / Social Media Influencer. Once I have achieved enough following, my next goal is to sell my ( overpriced and already available gyaan ) courses to people who are into tech industry. 

This would ensure , I have enough leeway and funds in case I want to start my own startup.

Now, I have the course ready already , I just need to click the submit button to publish on Udemy. But even if I do that no one is going to purchase my course because right now , I ain’t popular. 

Any advice on how should I approach this ? How do I go around selling my courses and also simultaneously become the next big influencer on LinkedIn?

To all those people behind the ad business. Today i see an ad in every app, be it a food delivery or ride hailing, can anyone point out what are the conversions of these ads? 
Is it a success for the businesses?

Hello everyone,I hope you remember me. I am a student studying at one of the IIMs. Yesterday was my first day of opening a cloud kitchen on Swiggy, Zomato, and Thrive.I received 0 orders from Zomato and Thrive, but I got 3 orders on Swiggy (2 from friends and family). One order was organic, which I suppose is at break-even (they share detailed stats after a week).The reviews I received are as follows:Packaging: Looks clean and gives the impression of a healthy place to order from.Food: Customers wanted more quantity and a little more spice. I think I can adjust that.But my main question is, how can I attract more customers? I am already offering the maximum discounts.

Thanks for any advice and help!😃

UPDATES REGARDING CLOUD KITCHEN

Hi all,

I want to start in digital marketing or marketing in general as I am quite interested in it and want to pursue it as an additional skill, and hopefully earn a side income from it. Any suggestions on how should I go about it?

I am reading up on things online and auditing a digital marketing course from Google. Apart from this I am trying to reach out to local vendors and try to offer digital marketing services like running ads for them (for free) and if required create a landing page for them (for minimal cost) if they don't already have one.

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are making crazy money. I am actually a 3rd year engineering student. I've made over 28 products and released them, having over 650,000 users worldwide. But most of my products are free to use and thus I don't make any money at all even after having so many users, I made some paid apps too but didn't get significant users. I can confidently say that I am one of the best frontend developers available in the market, have a good portfolio, good linkedin profile, good achievements yet I don't get approached by companies or clients.
This is a complete breakdown moment for me as I don't understand how much I have to do to start making money. Don't judge me for mentioning money here as I come from a lower middle class family and I need to make money for my life.
I would love to get your opinion or suggestions or secrets whatever can help me in any ways.

Thanks!

What does it take to get approached by companies or clients?

I seem to be at a loss as a marketer in the age of noise and hidden ads. Google meta and Amazon control most of the global online ad market and distribution channels.

If you have enough money to throw on ads, great. Maybe you'll get somewhere and figure it out. 

But unless your product is exceptional and so is your luck, you will most likely get beaten by an average competitor with deeper pockets.

Building distribution has become all important these days. Can it be done without spending a lot of money though?

The only possible solution imo seems to be building a personal brand. But not everyone's interested in being a creator either. What options do they have?

Marketing and sales walon, any thoughts?

How to build distribution in today's age?

Product Owner

Buy from Alibaba/Indiamart 
Sell on Amazon and/or website
Profit

Do keyword research for market demand on reddit , forums, personal circles. 

Buy for 100 bucks, sell for 150-200

It's literally what Raj shamani did to make quick money in covid. Many others buying from Alibaba and selling on Indiamart too. It's free SEO just by getting listed on Indiamart and Amazon. 

Hard mode: improve current products and launch your own jugaadu products.

Can easily scale to 10cr+. Exports are also exempt from GST, one of the only good policies this govt has that you should take full advantage of.
