Current Events > Got the first sales on my new business today. Stoked!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Started a side business a few months ago and finally received my product last week (I sell herbal supplements).

Started advertising online 2 days ago and today started receiving my first sales.

Have made $51 so far today in sales.

Super excited to grow my business and really get this going!

Would love to be able to quit my job and focus on entrepreneurship.

I do have a decent job I make over 60k working in marketing in the software industry. But I've always wanted to work from home so if I don't get promoted to a position where I can work remote I want to take things into my own hands.

This is my 2nd sidehustle endeavor that I'm taking on as I also sell things on Twitter and through my blog. Sold over 50 copies of an ebook I wrote and made over $1k in a month with it.

Now it's time to enter the big leagues with my very own supplement line. So excited and grateful.

What do you offer the consumer that your competitors don't?

No. I have my own supplement line. My own brand.

Has nothing to do with MLM or multilevel marketing I filed an LLC and then called different supplement manufacturers and spent thousands of dollars to get my own bottles made.

Value added content and engagement.

My supplements specifically focus on mood stabilization, reducing stress and anxiety, helping with depression, improving cognitive function, etc.

And they're all natural herbal supplements.

So it's focusing on a certain niche and category of supplements.

Though realistically, people could buy from someone else, but that doesn't matter.

I don't need everyone in the world to only buy from me. I just need enough people to buy from me.

In marketing, I'm just trying to get my piece of the pie, not take over the world.

I have a pretty large social media presence and experience with email marketing and Twitter marketing.

I'm just now starting but I'll be expanding onto other platforms, growing the blog section of my website regularly, and also working with influencers. I myself am a micro influencer with over 15,000 twitter followers and a large network of people I can work with who are also entrepreneurs.

I only need to make 6 sales a day to make $100 a day. As I get dialed in and grow my website and social media accounts, I'll slowly get more and more engagement.

I'm also going to be creating some free downloadable content to use as lead magnets and collect peoples email addresses to use email marketing. I already have 80 voluntary email sign ups and another 560 emails from my other blog.

With online, you have massive potential to scale.

I'm not selling on amazon I'm selling directly from my website so I'm not competing on price wars I'm just making a value proposition and an offer.

My content is meant to inform and educate.

Yes. I've been taking them myself for a long time.

They work.

They're scientifically proven to work.

Ashwagandha is my only supplement for now though I'll be expanding to other products.

These supplements have not only been used for thousands of years and used and recorded in both ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, but they've been studied in modern science. There's tons of studies on their efficacy it's not snake oil.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb and a quick Google search will lead you to all sorts of research and content.

I gave some to my roommate and he's been taking it less than a week and has told me he loved it and he notices a huge difference. Even his coworkers are asking about it now.
