I mentioned these guys the other day in my, ‘Top 300+ Shopify Stores in the World‘, post.
They came in at number 30.
Pretty damn good.
One of their biggest reasons for success has been their social activity.
The other day I came across one of their snapchat compilation posts, you can go through it below.
It got a tonne of shares and social engagement on their FB page.
That’s from a fan page with 1.3Million likes. Only they know how many snapchat adds they recieved that day but I can imagine it would have been at least over 1,000. Maybe even over 5,000.
Whatever the case, there’s a reason why they’re getting people from FB on to their snapchat.
Snapchat kicks A$$!
People would rather watch something rather than read about it.
That’s also one of the reasons I’ve been Vlogging recently on my blog because people are more engaged that way.
It’s just how we work.
If you have,
1 million Fans and
1 million Ads on Snapchat,
I can guarantee that you’ll have at least 10 times the reach and engagement through Snapchat.
These guys make theirs fun and funny yet related to their product.
People grow with their personality and in the process start to love and connect with the brand. If you’re serious about your branding and business, you HAVE to get on Snapchat.
I sound like a broke record here but there’s just so many entrepreneurs ad business turning to Snapchat I just find myself pointing to it again and again.
Hey Mateen.
Great post. I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks now and really enjoying it.
Quick question if you don’t mind. If a relatively newbie who had a basic understanding of affiliate marketing and a good ad budget asked you what type of marketing would be best to focus on 1st (CPA Marketing, Bing Ads, PPV, ECommerce, etc) what would you tell them?
I want to focus on one thing and master it before moving on and would like some input on which would be the best to start.
Thanks man. Keep up the great work!
Hey Brad,
That’s a big question and something even I hopped around with for months, (I still do!).
Personally for me, I’d be on the road to ecommerce. There’s a tonne of money to be made, it’s something simple to have, it’s what I like doing and the skills it teaches you is invaluable.
In saying that, I know quite a few people making a crap loads of money doing any of the other things you’ve mentioned.
There’s money in everything and there’s always a steep hurdle to cross till you figure out the ins and outs.
Maybe for your case, I’ll stick to one, (any one), commit to launching 100 campaigns before moving on.
I’m sure after you’ve launched 100 campaigns for each, (not exaggerating), you’d know where you want to be.
Like you’ve mentioned focus is the key so just pick something and go go go!
Thanks for the great advice. I got into the online game when I started a fitness youtube channel. It’s a decent size (67k subscribers) When I started earning money from google I realized making money online was a possibility.
I was wanting to focus on building my youtube channel, offering online coaching and building a fitness brand. Only thing is there is sooo much more money in hitting different traffic sources and building multiple streams of income that I decided not to focus on just that one thing.
Wow Brad that’s a pretty big channel well done!
If you were to just monetise using Google ads then yeh, money is pretty limited. They’re known as the most basic form of monetisation.
You’re in a great situation though so keep experimenting with different monetisation methods and see how your audience respond.
eBusiness is all bout testing and trying new things. Good luck man!
