In the 94th issue of Independent Development Monetization Weekly, a 23-year-old guy made $300,000 by selling photo frame tweets. Hello everyone, I am Zach Katz sad cat. I founded photo frame tweets, Friend tweets, to provide people with a simple way. way to beautifully frame their favorite tweets as art keepsakes. How did you come up with this idea? I had this idea a year before I launched Framed Tweets, which was December 2015. , I was holed up in my room, avoiding the New Year's party my parents were having downstairs, and I was scrolling through Twitter, and all of a sudden I thought what if you could frame your tweets, and honestly, most of those thoughts were The ones that come out like this, at least to me, they just happen randomly, I've looked all over the internet and I can't believe there isn't a site that does this pattern, I'm excited about this potentially great idea, but With no intention of starting a business at all, I took it as one of those interesting what ifs, After writing it in my notes, I completely forgot about him, and after graduating from film school in Boston later that year, I worked on a food truck for a few months until I finally got tired of making sandwiches and wanted a change. Come on, I don't have a job, I'm just walking around, I've saved a few thousand dollars from my previous internet investments, I have some followers on YOUTUBE, I've sold some twitter accounts and those accounts are making money, but The money eventually ran out, so one rainy day in February, I started looking for a job, I printed out my resume and took him to a bunch of restaurants with the hopes of becoming a handyman or something. Unfortunately, I had no experience in the industry, although there was one brewery that looked promising. But I felt terrible, and I walked home dejected, unsure of my future. On the way home, I met a man on the sidewalk who was selling homemade Sudoku puzzles for five dollars each. After I almost gave up on delivering dirty dishes, I was shocked to see this man selling something he made on the street. With unprecedented curiosity, I asked him if he made a living selling these puzzles. He told me that he made enough money to live on. Just what I needed to know. I left with a new perspective on life. Before talking to that person, I had never thought about starting my own business. Now I have 1000% confidence that I can make a living selling things. , I open the notes app on my phone, Clicking on the My Ideas folder, the first thing you see is a note I wrote a year ago that simply says framed tweet, Let’s go through the process of making our first product, I want to keep things simple , I didn’t want to be overwhelmed with 20 different styles of frames, I wanted to start with a nice ornate gold frame that would be perfect for Twitter, at first I considered buying from a frame company in the US, but I couldn’t find any in bulk Gorgeous picture frames for sale, I did some research and found, Alibaba is a great place to buy various photo frames in bulk. I asked several companies for samples, picked the one I liked best, and used my last savings to order 500. Describe the process of starting a business. At first I had no idea. It was easy to sell things online, and inspired by the guy selling puzzles, I was eager to sell puzzles right away, so I started selling puzzles on the sidewalk. I found some used picture frames at a thrift store. I picked out some interesting tweets, printed them out, and put them on the street. I didn't sell many, about six or seven in total, but the response was very good. A group of teenage girls chatted with them on SNAPCHAT, a dignified old man. Studying the tweets as if this were the Museum of Modern Art, some people frowned but almost everyone laughed, that's why I knew it was a good idea and I decided to try selling it online, mine The first error, Just spent two months and $2,000 trying to get a guy on UPWORK to build an e-commerce website from scratch because I had no idea there was such a thing as SHOPIFY, a hard lesson that I learned The first circular design, after discovering shopping fly, I spent about two months preparing the website, taking product photos, organizing tweets, classifying them to write FAQ pages, etc. Finally he was ready, I was in 5 The website was launched on May 5th, that night, I sent this link to some random people I found by searching for friend TTS on twitter, and the next morning I woke up to friend tweets appearing on product hunt, METABLEINCREATE, and a few other sites. While that coverage resulted in about 100 initial sales worth about $5,000, the traffic eventually disappeared and I was back to square one. What is the most important thing you can do to attract and retain customers? find a way, Keep people coming to your website, media is irreplaceable, even if your store is recommended in the New York Times, after a few days, the traffic will still shrink and then you are back to square one, this is why a sustainable marketing machine The reason why FACEBOOK ads, INSTAGRAM ads, Google ads, etc. are so important is that as we scale up INSTAGRAM ads, our sales are growing steadily and we earn about $20,000 per month from INSTAGRAM ads. It costs about $300 a day, and operationally, we now work with a logistics center that prints, frames and ships all of our products, so I no longer have to handle anything myself, which gives me the freedom to be anywhere in the world Did you learn anything particularly useful while working? Essentially, every problem can be solved with creativity, which is why I think being open-minded and broad-minded are two of the most valuable assets you can have. , do the hard things first, then look for easier ways, In the early days I printed all my orders at the FedEx office, brought them back to my apartment and had them framed and then moved the boxes to the post office, when this started taking too much time I bought a professional grade one Printer, found the USP to pick up from your home for free, when this started taking too much time I found a fulfillment center to print frame shipping orders, now I can run the business from anywhere in the world, don't take your brilliant idea for granted As a secret, before I created friend tweets, I didn’t dare tell others what I thought, Because I was worried they were going to steal my idea, now I can't believe how stupid that was, there have been a few copycat businesses over the past year, but they all gave up on execution, that's all, what does that say about other entrepreneurs? Any advice, find some great people to work with, a great way to run a successful business is to talk to people who are better at it than you are, they will surprise you, some examples from myself, a few months into starting a business After that, I made a post on red asking for help marketing framework tweets, I met a guy named Max who ran a marketing agency called Paradise Growth, and since then not only has he been responsible for all of our advertising campaigns, but he's taught me almost everything I know about business along the way. Knowledge, for example, without his guidance, I wouldn't even know to find a logistics center, I might still be packing orders in my apartment, you never know who you will hit it off with, and ultimately change your life, if you don't have Traffic, you won't have sales going by, when I have no sales all day, When I only have about 30 visitors, I often freak out and think what am I doing wrong, maybe no one likes my product, maybe changing the font would help, or make the logo cooler, I forgot I was there Where did I hear this sentence? I must be spoiling it, but here's what he said. Without marketing, there is no sales. Some marketing will bring some sales. A lot of marketing will bring a lot of sales. Success does not happen overnight. of, It usually requires solving a lot more problems than you think and being persistent, I really expected friend tweets to become an overnight sensation and make millions instantly, but that didn't happen, patience is key, But when you enjoy a challenge, it's easy to be patient, which brings me to the idea of ​​doing something you really enjoy doing. Personally, I won't invest my time and energy unless I like it. The above is from EAN Click com to make monetization of small products easier.
