The Online Empire Academy Podcast

Whats up Empire, Joshua Woodward here. Technical difficulties, tries falling and lots of laughter. This was one of the funnest podcasts in a long time. What better way to avoid all the trouble with private label then make it yourself. My entrepreneurial brain is always working on something new and exciting. My first few attempts at creating a business all had to do with hand made goods. There has always been a special place in my heart for the handmade community or “Makers” as they call themselves. If you haven't noticed this industry is growing and starting to really pick up its pace. The younger generation is beginning to value the hand made goods over big company cheaply made products. Along with this new found value is the willingness to pay the higher price. When I started my businesses the market was still to young and I lost allot of money and was left with a ton of inventory. With the introduction/popularity growing on sites like Pinterest, Etsy and Amazon Handmade this space is only getting bigger and bigger. So my gears started turning again and I recently I gave it a second try. Soon after that I got in touch with Outlaw Soaps. They are a ruggedly awesome handmade, small batch soaps, lotions, lip balms, colognes, and whatever else they can concoct. What an amazing and passionate group. I wanted to have Danielle on because of what an inspiration their journey had been to me and I figured what better way to get people excited about this opportunity than to bring on the blue haired master maker herself. I hope you guys feel inspired and excited for the opportunities the handmade space is presenting.

Whats up Empire, Joshua Woodward here. Today we have on an incredibly inspirational guest. If you are a stay at home parent and have found yourself struggling to balance all the things on your plate our guest understands. If you have found that at times your amazon account has fell to the wayside or even worse your health due to the ridiculous amount of responsibilities you have… this podcast is for you. Jerry Mills is one of those people you just have to sit back and listen too. This man has wisdom up the wazoo (never knew where that saying came from but i like it) He is a Husband, stay at home dad, an actor, a podcast host, a coach and on top of all of that he runs a very successful Amazon FBA account. I couldn't help but be inspired as i was talking to this amazing man. During the podcast he brought up a great point. For many of us we get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget to serve other people and give back to our communities. If you watched my most recent rant on Youtube you got to hear about my passion for the trinity of influence. I love what Jerry brought to the table. I feel like it sums this point up perfectly! Its easy to get caught up in the Craziness of life. I hope that this podcast brings you peace and encourages you to get out there and find some people to help.

Whats up Empire, Joshua Woodward here. We all dream of those huge sales and loyal customers. So how does this dream become a reality? If you haven't listened to last weeks podcast “The One Mistake Most People Are Making When Private Labeling Products” I would strongly encourage you to do so. We talked about brand developing and how important it is when creating your private label business. Today we are talking with Hawk Mikado. He is a Marketing master and is sharing his Marketing Techniques For Your Brand. You have spend time creating a brand and its identity, now its time to work on the marketing side of things. For some the idea of marketing may make your eyes cross. I understand there may be some jitters getting started. You are not alone and this is why we wanted to have Hawk on the show. He is the expert and is walking us through the methods he uses himself for making million dollar brands. So how does marketing get you the sales and loyal customers? Marketing is defined as, the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. The more people you get in front of the more opportunities you have to sell. When the sales pour in you have the opportunity to develop a relationship with those individual customers. Good Brand + Good products + Good Customer service = Massive Sales “The heart of your business success lies in its marketing. Most aspects of your business depend on successful marketing. The overall marketing umbrella covers advertising, public relations, promotions and sales. Marketing is a process by which a product or service is introduced and promoted to potential customers. Without marketing, your business may offer the best products or services in your industry, but none of your potential customers would know about it. Without marketing, sales may crash and companies may have to close.” Kristie Lorette If you want to know more about Hawk Mikado and what his teams are doing go to, http://theonlineempireacademy.com/invert If you want to know more about us and all we are doing go to, http://www.theonlineempireacademy.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/EIDMastermind/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJtNGg7PaK-fsdTDHUp5BQ itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/online-empire-academy-podcast/id379874674?mt=2 Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/entrepreneur-ideas-podcast/entrepreneur-idea-dads-podcast Until next time Empire, Have a great day!

Whats up Empire, Joshua Woodward here. Many of you listening are developing our own private label products, but there may be one major mistake in your strategy. When developing your private label products are you only looking at the #’s? Have you thought about a long term plan for your new product? Could you explain what problems your product solves for your customers? Are you buying into this product because of an algorithm given to you by amazon or an affiliated app? Many of us overlook one simple thing in developing our products; Does this product fit in with my brand identity. If you are selling online you have an brand identity and you may not even realize it. We talk allot about building something bigger than yourself. A wise man once said, “If you can accomplish your dreams on your own they aren't big enough.” Are you building a brand that can last longer than your lifetime or just a few random products under your amazon seller account? Im not at all opposed to having products that don’t exist within the same niche but my concern is we are building companies that will only last for seasons. Amazon is an amazing business and if you choose to run it as such you can reap some amazing rewards. My question to you is, does your overall brand identity fit this new product? This is the question we should be asking ourselves every time we step into that next product. For those of you just starting the question to you would be, Could you build a brand off of this product? And are you going to be passionate about what this product will do for the consumer? If you build a brand you can build a following. If you build a following you are not held down by the almighty hand of amazon. No shut downs, no restrictions, no limitations. Your brand name and the products under that name are owned by you. That is something people can get excited about. Today we have on the show Daryl Weber. He is a brand consultant whose work has influenced many of the best and biggest brands in the world, including Coca-Cola, Nike, Johnnie Walker, Gatorade, Pampers, and many more. If there is anyone qualified to talk with us about building a brand its this guy. Previously, he was Global Director of Creative Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company, where he oversaw brand and communication strategy for many of the company’s billion-dollar brands. Prior to that, he was a Strategic Director at the boutique brand and innovation consultancy Redscout, where he advised Fortune 500 companies on new product innovation and brand strategy. On top of all he is already doing he is also heading up these projects, Yala: a new kind of all-natural, coconut oil-based, whitening mouthwash called Yala. Look out for it in Spring 2016! BassBrites: He launched and manage a new kind of string cleaner for electric bass players that makes strings last many times longer. Palace Wolves: He is still living the dream, and play bass in the synth rock band the Palace Wolves. (actually pretty good) With his specialties being Brand strategy and positioning, innovation strategy and concept writing, communications planning, qualitative research, consumer insights abd moderating. His goal is to help you build deeper, richer brands through an understanding of the brain and the unconscious.

Whats up Empire, Joshua Woodward here. Today we are talking about app development. This is a subject not touched on much in our industry and i think it is a shame. Most of us have had a fantastic app idea at some point in our cell phone journey but there is only a select few that do something about it. When searching for a developer I wanted to find someone who had a background in more than apps. I wanted them to be familiar with the ecom community. That is where I ran into Alex Genadinik. Alex Genadinik is an Entrepreneur, marketer, mobile app developer, business coach and top selling udemy teacher with more than 70 courses and 57k students 3-time best selling Amazon author, creator of top entrepreneur mobile apps, and host of a popular business and marketing channel on YouTube. He is the creator of the Problemio business apps which are some of the top mobile apps for planning and starting a business with 1,000,000+ downloads across iOS, Android and Kindle. He is an author of three business books (marketing to reach 1,000,000 people, on starting a business, and on the mobile app business). He is also a business coach. On my apps and in my private coaching practice he has helped over 1,000 entrepreneurs. That means he can probably help you quite a bit as well. My areas of expertise are mobile apps, software engineering, marketing (SEO and social), and entrepreneurship.

Many of us struggle being able to take the idea in our heads and put that idea into action. This problem exactly is what drove me to start this series. For the next few weeks we will be talking about private labeling. I have lined up some fun and out of the box interviews. I want to show all the sides of private labeling as possible. Travis Ross is in the midst of his private label journey. I wanted to bring him on because he is in the thick of this journey. So many of us are working from home and for the majority of us its alone. That can get discouraging. You are not alone! Everyone needs hope every now and again. Like most of us Travis has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. He has always had different ventures going. After moving for a position at a church in Denver Colorado the Ross family needed to make some extra cash. After hearing about the wonders of amazon Travis and his wife began their amazing amazon journey. Most of us start with garage sales or thrift stores but the Ross’s went straight into arbitrage. After seeing some success they went straight to the heart, Private label. With a year under their belt They have built a thriving home and kitchen line. Community is so key to keeping yourself afloat. Like I said before, it can get depressing being alone all the time. One of my biggest passions is community and one of the best ways to build community is through meetups, community events and conferences. having someone near you that is doing the same things can really change the way you do work. My favorite way to build a lasting community is through conferences. Networking is key to building a lasting business. and there is no better way to find like minded people than going to a conference. Last year I attended the ecom chicago conference and the connections forever changed this show, our production, and the way we do relationships. Travis saw the same opportunity and decided to do something about it. With his partner Travis will be hosting one of the most sellers conferences of this year in Denver Colorado.
