Speaking at Web wednesday-Ecommerce – How To Sell More Online
On Wednesday the 30th Of March I had the pleasure of being a panelist at The Creative collectives Web wednesday education night.The topic was Ecommerce - How To Sell More Online.
Being someone that doesnt speak in public much I was a bit nervous,but a couple of drinks fixed that.I received good feedback from the audience afterwards so was happy with that
It was a Talk show style night were the host interviewed the panelist.During my time I spoke about Creating Buyashed.com.au From an idea to a business that turned over more than 2 million dollars in its first year.Also shared Tips On how to know what your customers want and on affliate marketing.

Panelist - JJ Stranan - Founder & Owner of Global Kids Oz -
JJ may have only started her business less than 12 months ago but she is regularly selling bucketloads of products direct from her Facebook page. Check out this:
"I have so far spent $180 on FB Marketing since Sunday morning and made direct sales from this of over $3,000 in 4 days - I have gained over 1500 likers, had 6 phone leads from it and around 40-50 email or enquiries (including 1 client who enquired about a one off order of $1500 worth of mats) on the page in regard to my products, PLUS now that I have 2 pages I have been counter advertise each page to the other to my exisiting fan base and believe I have probably gained another few dozen likers to each page just because of that too - talk about value for money advertising - you gotta love
Ended up having a great night and think the audience got good value out of the night and the information that was shared.
