175 - Sam Patton International Man of Mystery & E-Commerce Expert


Sam Patton is a digital marketing consultant who helps eCommerce businesses sell more products. In 2018 he flew six times around the world and these days calls Vietnam home.

He is an international man of mystery, and basically a budget version of Jason Bourne.

Today we discuss:

 - Why living in Vietnam is uncomfortable, but exciting at the same time, just the way Sam likes it. 

- Coconut Cowboys 

- Moving from being the guy at the back of the room videoing conferences to speaking on stage 

- Running a remote business with clients worldwide

- Setting up an e-commerce business the right way

- Why you should not be fixated on the product. It's the business model that is key. 

- Big mistakes people make, like 80 per cent of business owners never go through and understand their customer. It’s not just knowing who you want...you’ve got to go deeper

"Your Client Avatar is like teenage sex; everybody says they’re doing it, but nobody is". 

- Falling in love with the customer, not the product

- Positioning yourself effectively inside a niche to become not the better option, not the cheaper option, but the different opinion. 

- Adding complementary products into a niche is easy when you have a hero product

- Third-Party Fulfilment

INS050 - Indispensable Marketing (Tactics & Strategies) with Patrick McFadden

Image
Patrick McFadden is the owner of Indispensable Marketing, and today we discuss the importance of effective marketing and how it can make your sales process easier, or harder depending on how effective it is, and why advertising and sales are sub-sets of marketing.  Advertising is often confused with marketing because it is the most visual part of marketing, but marketing is all about building trust, and your trust is always on trial, so good marketing can build trust, whereas poor marketing can erode it.  Awareness & Education How often do you hear someone say, "I didn't know they did that"? These comments show missed opportunities for the business owner, and it is a sure sign they need to focus more on awareness and education.

INS06 - 7 Steps To Self-Publishing with Michael Hanrahan

Michael Hanrahan owns a publishing company in Melbourne Australia, Michael Hanrahan Publishing, and is the author of Stand Out, 7 steps to self-publishing a book that will build your profile, promote your business and make you stand out from the crowd. Today we discussed: Why the lines between traditional publishing and self-publishing have become blurred. Self-published books use to have poorly designed covers, sub-standard layout and poor print quality. They looked cheap, but not anymore. Technology has changed the publishing world. Everything runs on a digital workflow and it’s now more viable to do short, high-quality print runs. Printing 200 copies is now quite common. It now only takes three months from a written word document to finished book. What is an ISBN and why is it important? ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number and you need to get this right. Every book and eBook has an individual ISBN number and some self-publishers make the mistake of tryi...
