Thanks gideon286, for all the training you have offered for free on this thread. I have basic question to ask as regards the facebook ads. For facebook campaign objective, do you suggest we stick to consideration(website traffic, engagement, messages etc.) or we should go for conversions. Thanks.
Stick with engagement. After creating a post on your Facebook page; boost the post with video of the product. Using video with attractive thumbnail is preferable to picture because it attract clicks. You can go back to the page i explained this better.

Good evening sir, God bless you abundantly.

How do we package the good to look appealing to the buyers considering the fact that people like packaging?
As a beginner, you can't print the name of your business on a small nylon bag like that of Kilimanjaro or Genesis type of bag. So what you do is; buy any small nylon bag (preferred colour white or ash), and do graphical printing of the name of your business on a sticker, then paste it on the bag. You just wanna let your customers know that your business is branded. Not any fancy or urgly package.

. If you are selling for instance spot remover for N1000 and somebody ordered and d cost of transportation to deliver is N400. How do u deliver such product ?
If you see a N1000 product on Jumia, know it's N300 and N150 or less on Alibaba and 1688 respectively. But Jumia will still sell you at a higher price and also bill you for delivery fee.

The point is buying goods online is expensive than going to an offline store. You only assure your customers that your product will solve their problem and give them the value they desire... This doesn't mean you should be a good Samerithan.

in your previous post, u said a single product page performs well than an estore..If one decides to focus on fashion products only..and u buy product A to Z..does it mean I'll create a single product website for each? Won't it be better I create an estore for everything and how can I improve the estore..now to this post about Jiji, Facebook and IG ads..I hope u know one will still factor cost of those ads into the product and fix a price so as to make Profit..Will it be feasible
Fashion Products somehow have correlative issues selling them, for instance you wanna sell a gown to a lady online; you'll have to know her size except you wanna sell same goods with different sizes. If you don't know her size then you have to upload videos of a lady using that gown, from the video she can confirm if the gown will fit her or not.

And NO! You don't have to create a website for each fashion product, what will make your E-store feasible is how attractive the goods are - i know women hardly removes their eyes from any attractive clothes, bag or shoe and you uploading the video of each goods in use will gear much interest in your website visitors.

Running Ads is part of the investment; but your profit will depend on your store theme, attractive products with their videos and also if you're not doing try by error and you just know what works.

ADVERTISEMENT

Haven created your Telegram Channel or Website, haven much visits on your page daily is what you consider as paramount, because you won't want to have your goods in stock for months without anyone buying from you, it'll be very annoying. You have to make sure you adhere to any possible means to sell the goods within 2 weeks max. so you can import more, make sales and generate steady profits.

I only talk about Facebook Ads in previous lecture; but i wanna let us know that there are high converting Ads you can set-up and get peak response alongside the Facebook Ads.

One of them is Jiji Ads. Jiji which is an E-store of both new and used Products facilitates one of the most effective Ads response. Imagine you've got a gadget or goods to sell and you place it for sale on Jiji website; You and I can tell better that within 3 to 4 days, you'll start receiving calls from potential buyers without running Ads, how much more the response rate if you place Ads on Jiji and your product is always at the front page of the website.

Most Jiji Ads comes from Facebook as the target is dependent on towns in a state. So when you run Jiji Ads [haven configured your Ads target settings], when Jiji display your Ads on Facebook; it'll only be seen by those who lives within the states and locality which you've set-up on Jiji.

Jiji Ads is highly responsive because their Ads runs both on Jiji Website and Facebook gearing more exposure. That's why you'll see Jiji products (Ads) on your Facebook timeline ... It's not Jiji that owns the products but people who have goods for sale and needs instant buyers.

Another very effective Ads is Instagram Ads: People spend more time on Instagram these days more than Facebook. With Instagram Ads, you won't only have interested buyers but also customers that'll trust your products - since you'll mostly run the Ads with the product video; comments and hashtags will get the video go viral and i.e more customers for you; response will be instant and you'll get to know more people of higher class - these are people that hastingly order for your products without considering the price and make order. So Instagram Ads facilitates investment power and increase reoccurring customers.

I'll intensively teach how to run Jiji and Instagram Ads to my students. Chat me up to join my class.

How To Create A Single Product Sales Page Website

For those who wanna sit at the comfort of their home or office while everything is taken care of by three (3) systems - which are; The courier company and their warehouse, Facebook Ads and Product website.

Haven confirmed that your goods has been shipped and stored in the courier's warehouse; your next action is to run Facebook Ads directing your visitors to your product website where they can enter their details (Name, Phone number, residential address and email address), as soon as they click on the order button; all their details will be automatically sent to your dashboard and courier's email address so that the courier company handles promt deliveries. If you have a related Products, you can promote them by sending campaign (broadcast emails) to your Subscribers and they'll buy the product without wasting funds run Facebook Ads again. This is called email marketing.

I'll intensively lecture email marketing to my students alone; so if you wanna enroll in my class; kindly chat me up.

Designing Your Website

A single Product sales page and an E-store website isn't the same but you can generally call them an e-commerce website. A single Product website (SPW) consist of; one Product pictures/videos, it's short description, opt-in contact form and contact details of seller (esp. WhatsApp number) while an e-store website contains varieties of goods, their pictures and descriptions.

From my experience, a single product website converts visitors to money faster than an E-store because a single Product website (SPW) conceals visitors to focus on just one product without distracting their interest towards other products so sales will be attracted.

MERITS OF A SINGLE PRODUCT WEBSITE OVER E-STORE

- Visitor's email address is captured on first page of the website - Here chances that money spent on Ads isn't wasted since you can re-occur website visitors to potential buyers with email marketing.
- It is easy to design: Like my stretch marks Website didn't take me up to four (4) hours to design everthing since the interface is drag and drop.

Hence, i'll recommend a SPW over E-store EXCEPT you are capable of channeling massive traffic to your E-store, at a long run it'll produce massive revenue esp. if it's branded (like Jumia) - where visitors will type your E-store url, logon your website and buy your products i.e if the ones they bought actually add value or solves their intent problem.

To Design A Single Product Website; You need to have grounded knowledge on:

* How to create a Landing Page and Install an opt-in contact form on the page

* How to setup email marketing automation

I talked about Aweber and Click funnels before but they are not cost effective for a beginner who wanna maximize profit instead of wasting huge funds.

I have prepared a Do It Yourself ebook with video links on how to create a Single Product Website at minimum cost. You don't need to write code or be an expert in graphics design because the design process is drag and drop.

If you need the ebook, whatsapp me on (0-8-1-0-2-5-3-4-0-7-9) or call : 0-8-1-0-2-6-3-0-3-7-6

If you need my company to design an attractive single page website for you, you can also chat me up.

You don't get me, look at the diagrams below and you'll understand what I'm saying, the first diagram is a size chart i got from aliexpress, now you can see length, waist etc, written in English, along with measurements and corresponding sizes that will act as a guide,

Now assuming I'm buying clothes for myself i can simply measure length and refer to the chart, measure Waist and refer to the chart because its in English, but the second diagram which i got from 1688 is in Chinese, after measuring how do i know which is Waist, length etc since its in Chinese, please tell me you understand me this time around.
You don't need those stuffs... People who sell in boutiques did they measured your waist size? But they're familiar with frequent bought waist size so they stick with it... Ive already said that M and L for size within 32 and 45 are frequently used. But you need to know your customers first. I elaborate this more in my class

1stbest:
After creating the business page promote it , am i going to run adverts for all the page over again and again when i posted a new products Or will I run the advert only for the particular new post?
It's a good question ...

This is why I advice people to start with single gender.

If it's single gender, say female; you'll run ads on just one product you're sure it's going to convert well, then when they get on your Telegram channel, they'll see other products you've posted for sell then pick interest.

I repeat , your are genius.

I got it now..

Let me ask this.. Does it means I will talk to the courier agent in the advance to give me the actual email I will be incorporated to the aweber for automatic sending..

And please which Nigeria courier do u think can handle good delivery throught out Nigeria..remember , any people across Nigeria can opt in into the sales page after you place fb ads


Am asking this because I want to develop my sales page that can send out the fillable contents to specified email instead of wasting money on aweber subscription.. I will give u access to it free of charge when I finish it.
The courier company will give you their email address

Courier companies that can handle delivery throughout Nigeria are not cost effective - DHL do that. Only courier that distribute within some states are cost effective. Ive decided to reveal the courier company i use to my students alone.

Boss, in this aspect of Facebook ads, you asked us to choose "increase engagements in your app" and it will direct buyers to telegram app.


But what if I use a sales page website like yours, what would i choose under conversion of the Facebook ads?
Choose conversation, activate engagement then select website and enter your website URL

I have close to 5k friends on fb,is there any need to still create a Facebook adhuh?
Your question can be funny.

You Imported the goods because you wanted to sell it right? So you didn't buy the guys to sell it to your friends who may need it rather to people that have interest in the goods and have cash at hand to pay for the goods the moment they see it displayed on their timeline.

So you can't do without Facebook Ads.

For your first question, you can still get some sellers willing to sell one piece. It is just going to take you time, so you'd have to be patient. However, most often for lower priced items, it is advisable you just go for their MOQ. This is because most of these items come with express fees. If you want to buy a product of 2 yuan now with an express fee of 5 yuan, don't you think it is better to go for 2 or 3 rather than buying one and still paying the same 5 yuan.

But if the product is on the higher end, there is something that works for me. For example, last week I needed to buy a detoxification machine for my mum from China. I first went over to Aliexpress and I saw the price of one was between 45 to 55k.

So I head over to 1688 and searched for it. When I calculated it to naira, the machine was 22k shocked (that's how awesome 1688 can be). But the problem is that the sellers I saw only sell minimum of 2 to 3 respectively. Of course since this wasn't some blouse or cosmetic product, I couldn't just buy 2. In this kind of situation, you just scroll down to the part tagged 'Seller recommendation', 'Business hotpush', 'Shop similar' and you'd see other similar products from different sellers. So you keep clicking on them and scrolling and checking similar again...on and on until you get someone willing to sell one.

Mind you sometimes it takes time, you just have to patient. For me I can be tenacious atimes, even if it takes hours being hunched over my phone, I'd keep searching.

I hope that helps.
Thanks alot. You're giving me strength.

QUESTIONS
1. Let's assume I bought a carton of the cream, will the courier service package the cream one by one before they deliver to the customer?
2. Will the courier service be the one to collect the money for us?
3. Explain how the courier service will be notified automatically when a buyer buys a product, since we are the one that own the WordPress site
Answer:

1.Yes it'll be package depending on if it's same customer that ordered 1, 2 or 3; according to the number ordered.

2. They'll collect the money, get the company's commission and send the profit.

3. When buyers enter their details on your website; their details is stored in your dashboard and also automatically sent to courier company to promt delivery. We use Aweber for this; you can also install Aweber on your site or use normal WordPress opt-in tools.

Mr. gideon286, when trying to purchase clothes, this image below is the size guide i believe, how can i translate it to English since its not a text i can copy and paste on Google translate, i tried guessing by searching the Chinese words for length, shoulder, sleeve etc, but the results i got doesn't match with the titles on the image below.
If you can get me the link to this, i'll explain better...

But as i said earlier, the most used are Medium (M) and Large (L). But you most know or guess correctly the size of your customers before you import the goods which is based on size on previous frequent sales or it's booked.

But on either M or L; if customers stipulates the size for you; you just have to type it in.

And for Sandals or Slippers the most used sizes are: 32, 35, 40 and 42

But boss, I v a question.

You know, customers vary according to different sizes when it comes to wears. After running Ads, customers of sizes 35,36,37,38,38,39,etc will hop on to your sales page to make purchases.

How do you tackle that?

do you just order for a fixed size on 1688, let's say size 35 alone in 10pcs to sell to customers using size 35? or

Or you order for various sizes from 1688 at same time in 10pcs mixed with different sizes?
The most used sizes are Medium and Large, but it's adviced not the sell clothes as a beginner; you have to know your customers first even up to their attitudes.

What you do is; sell other body Products first as a beginner, then when you've gotten a good fan base (Subscribers) ready to patronize you, you can display the picture of the clothes then ask them to dm you if they need it, they should hint you their sizes on your dm. Then take note of the most occurring sizes and trade on it... This should be applied to other wears ( i mean the most occurring sizes cos you're not ganna ask them again).
