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 in 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 That's how it came about, at least for me, they just happened randomly, I looked all over the internet and I couldn't believe there wasn't a website that did this pattern, I was excited about this potentially great idea, But with no intention of starting a business at all, I wrote it down in my notes as one of those funny what-ifs, completely forgot about him, and was in a food truck after graduating from film school in Boston later that year. Worked for a few months until I finally got tired of making sandwiches and wanted a change of pace, I didn't work, I just walked around, I had a few thousand dollars saved from previous internet investments, I had some on YOUTUBE Fans, I sold some twitter accounts and those accounts made 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 it to a bunch of restaurant, hoping to be a handyman or something, unfortunately I had no experience in the industry, and while there was a brewery that looked promising, I felt terrible and walked home dejected, to myself My future was uncertain, and on my way home I met a man on the sidewalk who was selling homemade Sudoku puzzles for five dollars each, after I had almost given up on my life of delivering dirty dishes. Selling something he made on the street shocked me, and with more curiosity than ever, I asked him if he made a living selling these puzzles, and he told me that he made enough money to live on, and that's what I needed to know Yes, when I left, I had 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 turned on my phone. In the Notes app on the app, click on the My Ideas folder, and the first thing you see is a note I wrote a year ago, which simply says framed tweet, and we learn about the process of making our first product, I wanted to keep things simple, I didn't want to have 20 different styles of frames and have no choice, I wanted to start with a nice ornate gold frame that would be perfect for Twitter, at first I considered buying it from a frame company in the US, but I couldn't find any gorgeous photo frames for sale in bulk, I did some research and found out that Alibaba is a great place to buy various photo frames in bulk, I asked several companies for samples and picked the one I liked the most, using I used my last savings to order 500 pieces. Let me describe the process of starting a business. At first, I didn’t know that it was easy to sell things online. Inspired by the guy selling puzzles, I was eager to sell the puzzles immediately, so I started Selling puzzles on the sidewalk, I found some used picture frames at a thrift store, picked out some interesting tweets, printed them out, and put them on the street. I didn't sell many, maybe six or seven in total, but the response was So nice, a group of teenage girls were chatting with them on SNAPCHAT, the dignified old man pored over the tweets as if it were a museum of modern art, some frowned, but almost everyone laughed, this That's why I knew it was a good idea, I decided to try selling online, my first mistake, was spending two months and $2000 trying to get a guy on UPWORK to build an electronics from scratch Business website, because I didn’t know there was anything like SHOPIFY, a hard lesson, this was my first circular design, after discovering shopping fly, I spent about two months preparing the website, shooting Product photos, organizing tweets, categorizing them to write a FAQ page, etc. Finally he was ready and I launched the site on May 5th and that night I sent this link to some random people I found and they were I found it by searching friend TTS on twitter, and the next morning I woke up to find friend tweets popping up on product hunt, METABLEINCREATE and a few other sites, although the coverage resulted in about 100 initial sales worth approx. $5000, but the traffic eventually disappeared and I was back to square one, what is it, attracting and retaining customers, the most important thing you can do is find a way to keep people coming to your website, media is Irreplaceable, even if your store is recommended in the New York Times, the traffic will still shrink after a few days and then you are back to square one, which is why sustainable marketing machines such as FACEBOOK ads, INSTAGRAM ads, Google ads, etc. Important reasons, as we scale up INSTAGRAM ads, our sales are growing steadily, we make about $20,000 a month from INSTAGRAM ads and spend about $300 a day, operationally, we now work with Working 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 work from anywhere in the world. Is there anything particularly useful you’ve learned from Essentially, every problem can be solved with creativity, which is why I believe that being open-minded and broad-minded are the two most valuable assets you can have. Do the hard things first and then look for the easier ones. Method, 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 Class printer, found 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 awesome Keeping ideas a secret, before I created friend tweets I was afraid to tell people my ideas because I was worried they would steal my ideas, now I can't believe how stupid that is, it has come out in the past year There are some copycat businesses out there, but they all give up on execution, that's all. Any advice for other entrepreneurs? Find some great people to work with. A great way to run a successful business is to find people who are better at it than you are. Talk to people, they will surprise you, some examples from myself, a few months after starting my business, I posted a post on red asking for help with a marketing framework tweet, and I met a guy named Max who Running a marketing agency called Paradise Growth, he has not only been responsible for all of our advertising campaigns since then, but he has taught me almost everything I know about business along the way, such as I wouldn't have even done it without his guidance I don’t know if I need to find a logistics center. I might still be packing orders in my apartment. You never know who you will merge with and eventually change your life. If you don’t have traffic, you won’t have sales. When When I have no sales all day and 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 will help, or make the logo look better Cool, I forget where I heard this, I'm definitely trashing this, but here's what he said, no marketing, no sales, some marketing will bring some sales, a lot of marketing will bring Come make a lot of sales, success doesn't happen overnight, it usually requires solving a lot more problems than you think and being persistent, I really hope friend tweets become an overnight sensation and make millions instantly, But that didn't happen, patience is key, but when you enjoy the challenge it's easy to be patient, it got me thinking about doing something you really enjoy doing, personally I wouldn't do it unless I liked him Invest my time and energy, the above is from EAN dot com, to make the realization of small products easier.
