1. The Facebook Marketing Blueprint That Put The Passionate Pug on the Path to 6 Figures
When you’ve found yourself a passionate niche of customers, print-on-demand is a great way to sell them products that they’ll enjoy.
The Passionate Pug is a print-on-demand dropshipping business powered almost entirely by Facebook ads.
In this episode, Kwaku Nornoo walks you through his research process for identifying profitable product categories for a niche, and shares how to set up your Facebook interest targeting to reach potential customers of that niche.
He’s got it down to a blueprint that you can borrow ideas from for your own Facebook ads.
2. Why This Entrepreneur Assumes Nothing and A/B Tests Everything
There’s a difference between tweaking your website and improving your store. With a data-driven approach to design, you can use A/B test to make informed decisions about what you change.
In this episode, Meghan Bush of Kopari Beauty walks you through her A/B testing philosophy and her unique take on advertising that includes buying traditional media spots, not just digital.
3. The Best Way to Sell a Product for a Problem No One Wants to Talk About
Not all products are easy to advertise due to marketing platform rules.
If you have a product that’s banned, taboo, or hard to advertise due to advertising policies, this episode of Shopify Masters talks about how to launch large scale advertising campaigns for a product people don’t usually talk about publicly (a toilet stool).
Founder Bobby Edwards shares what happens when you spend $25,000 boosting a viral Facebook video instead of advertising your products and how much of your budget should be devoted to testing ads.
These are just a few awesome, actionable episodes of the Shopify Masters podcast you can check out on your lunch break, on the road, or any time you want.
