Welcome to another scintillating episode of the Membership Site Success podcast with today's guest, Matt Schmitt!
Matt broke into the online biz space by selling t-shirts.
In the process he learned to scale campaigns via paid advertising through Facebook ads.
Matt then went on to identify needs and wants in the markets he operated in, and created eCommerce stores and products around those desires.
Matt's #1 Online Business Tip:
Take your emotions out of product/niche selection and let the market tell you what they want by voting with their cash.
In other words, don't assume you think something is going to work because it sounds awesome to you – the market has to validate it with actual sales.
Apropos to our show, Matt also sells several courses on how to do Facebook ads, how to sell t-shirts online, how to build successful eComm stores and how to scale these businesses to the 6 and 7 figure mark, and beyond!
Matt's flagship product is a membership site called Physical Product System (which I help to manage via my unlimited membership site support service, MemberFix).
