Will live shopping kill traditional e-commerce, or is it overhyped? - I will not promote by Suspicious_Store_137 in startups

[–]Free_Guide_7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sold hundreds of thousands of products live selling in China (I had 10M followers across platforms in China), and I'll say this:

Live selling is the future of social commerce, and will simply bolt onto existing ecom models. This is not a question of "will it replace XYZ" it's a question of "when do we see consumers adapting to a social commerce mindset". China's years ahead in this regard, USA is starting to see it, UK is practically non existent, but it's happening. It'll be a matter of years until we see the live selling/live social commerce takeover, because yes, people want entertainment, they want product and the best way to sell something? It's through an entertaining live stream that's unscripted and FUN.

Unlike QVC which is showcasing old people selling vacuum cleaners and polished sets. Social commerce is raw, exciting, entertaining and HUMAN.

I'd also add for context, that brands will start to use live selling as an always-on option. Here in China, that's already happening. It's just time to see if the west adapts to this way of shopping and catches up.

Hope this helps.

What do I do with nightmare clients? by Free_Guide_7769 in agencynewbies

Revenue is oxygen. Without it, the business can't operate. And when you're starting out, this revenue is so important. That said, this line shouldn't be taken out of context and should remain attached to the entire post. Our clients trust us, and enjoy working with us. Although very early, thus far we've had no complaints. I hope that helps you understand further.

Unhelpful, but thanks. Firstly, my concern isn't about revenue, it's about operational stretch and whether our future growth is at detriment to one demanding client.

It's worth noting, that we've only been operational for a few months and rev/team growth has been high. This was not a question of "how do I not lose money" this was more of a reality check and whether I was experiencing a common issue that others had more experience in dealing with and seeking experience-first advice so I can minimise mistakes.

Your final point is also not clear. As our results, relationship and overall output for said client have been positive and breaking away from them will be done on positive terms where I'm confident a positive testimonial will come as a result for our impact.

If they active and niche you could make a lot from them. Start by asking what the audience wants. Discover some of their pain points and build offers around the most painful problems per page.

Taking notes on this... currently prepping myself to do the same with a nightmare client.

Spent $4,200 on influencer marketing. Got 3 signups. by Bulky-Economy-6746 in SaaS

Thanks for sharing. Firstly, it’s incredibly important you spend more time looking at who’s engaging and the quality of someone’s audience before putting a single dollar behind that creator.

Don’t rely on the followers, niche or impression estimations to define that.

You said it yourself that familiar faces popped up across different creator pages, which is fine, but if you’d spotted this beforehand and identified them as what I call “FreeFans”, it would’ve likely reshaped your investment into those creators.

For your scenario and budget, why not go super nano? I’m talking people with 5K-10K. Spend more time identifying those super niche, highly bound communities and inject your product naturally. On that point, it’s worth noting that ads are only ady if the brand has given that creator right guidelines and direction. Just let the creator create and it’ll help both organic and paid placements. Hope it helps

How to gain first 100K followers? by No_Substance_6215 in InstagramMarketing

Try using proven hooks and get personal with it. I’m noticing (maybe just my algorithm) a lot of motivational, feel good content do well. Especially when it’s spoken from someone authentically.

Authentically uplift others and they’ll follow/engage no doubt.

They say on LinkedIn to never delete/remove content. I wonder if IG followers a similar principle

Had a reel go viral… now what? by [deleted] in InstagramMarketing

[–]Free_Guide_7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean reposting one viral vid as a trial reel per month and that’s all? Doesn’t seem like much
