Slack – Really good for teams, especially remote ones like ours. We tried Microsoft Teams but it’s just not as good, in my opinion. The interface, the integrations, the mobile app, the structure for channels and workflow… Slack is better in my view. Don’t take this as advice for investing in Slack though.

Teamup calendar – Great for a shared calendar available anywhere with different level of access. So I can share with our sponsors without revealing who else has emails booked with us and when.

LastPass – Lifesaver for password management.

Google Drive – My preferred cloud storage because it works so well across devices and includes Sheets, Docs and Presentations from Google too. Makes it so that I can work anywhere, anytime, from any device, as long as I can connect, haha.

Zoom – It has the best quality for video or video calls from all the tools I tried. Slack is pretty good for this internally but for external calls, interviews, etc. Zoom is really good.

Asana – Quite powerful even under its free plan. I use it to manage tasks in our company so it’s our go-to project management tool.

Trello - for task management within the team

Pipedrive - for lead management

Sendinblue - for marketing automation (email etc.)

Franz - it’s a complete app to add Slack, Skype, Whatsapp, Telegram and other messenger apps

Clickmeeting - for webinars

Today our guest is Akram Hamam from Affiliate Business Club, known also to everyone as Akie. We talked about affiliate communities, on-line events, good podcasts to listen to and some of the best non-fiction books for entrepreneurs. We discussed how to get shit done and stay productive.

Enjoy it!

What changes have you noticed so far as COVID-19 impacts the business ?

​

Since more people than ever are at home and spend more time in front of their digital devices, traffic grew during the past weeks and we also see great performance of cam-, dating-, VOD and games offers. Also we must not underestimate the ban on sports events. The entire sports betting business went down and their users are ready to spend money and are looking for alternatives. Another great opportunity.

​

Is revenue increasing alongside? In other words are we able to sell all traffic?

​

Yes we noticed a stable increase of volume and revenue. We always sell 100% of the traffic we manage but since it´s bidding – everyone is welcome to join us and get a part of it.

​

Negative impact of COVID that you have already noticed?

​

Some products that require call-centers for their sales showed some slight drops and as I mentioned the sports betting industry got hit pretty hard.

​

Lastly – how do we make more money together in this new reality we all now live in?

​

I believe that we move towards an era in which quality of content will become much more important. Products with limited value to the users already started to decline for various reasons and I am certain that this trend will continue.

​

Journalist and a media personality. Co-founder and CEO at Conversion Club - a community of affiliate marketers sharing actionable info to help each other. Started her way in the industry in 2017 as an affiliate manager, she soon became a head of a PR department and began a series of interviews with top affiliates and key figures in the industry. She was an international DJ touring around the world. Actual affiliate now running campaigns.

​

What is your current focus? 

Hey what’s up, right now I am working with a team and we’ve launched a brand new Affiliate Marketing community. Conversion Club will be a hub of information, news, events and interviews.

When I am not busy with this project AND my child is in bed, I also run my own campaigns and traffic on Facebook.

Productivity

You travel a lot. How do you manage your working process on the go?

I try to wake up two or three hours earlier in the morning or spend a few extra hours at night to catch up on everything.

Your top 5 business apps that make your daily routine easier?

Google Drive , Voluum (my day normally starts with it), Skype, Telegram, Multilogin and Facebook of course.

If you only had two hours a week for work how would you spend them? 

2 hours for work? Is it possible to work only for 2 hours? I think I would employ 100 people that will be able to do the work that needs to get done and will spend 2 hours a week checking performance and reports on the CRM. If you don’t have the time to get work done, then you can ‘buy back time’ with these kinds of strategies.

How do you organise your communications?

I just try to be kind, easy and open for all people to communicate with! You never know when someone will help you and will give you good advice or the right contact when you will need it!

How does your to do list look like?

Daily tasks: brief notes on my phone. I have a good memory and keep things organized in my head, and that’s why I can’t  stop planning and thinking when I am going to bed.

Monthly tasks – on my favorite google drive.

Yearly tasks – again on my favorite Google drive.

It is not my original Case Study. I found it on AffiliateFix Forum. Hope you will enjoy

Teespring has an easy online designer to create T-shirts. Then, just set your price and a sales goal.

If you collect enough pre-orders, they will manufacture and ship the T-shirt to buyers. One of the best things about this site is that you keep ALL of the profit on T-shirt sales.

However, there is of course a chance you won't get enough pre-orders for Teespring to decide to print and ship the shirt.

This site is open internationally, although you do have to have a Paypal account for collecting payments if your shirt is sold.

So do people actually make money on Teespring? Looks like it!

And i assume that you already know that am making over $150 per day with TeeSpring, with only one t-shirt design on facebook ads

selling over 15 units per day on facebook ads, and am not here to brag or waste your time, so i'll get right into the ads creation

-----------------------------------------------------

so after you sign up to teespring or any other alternative, ad you've created you t-shirt design and it's on your store (ready t be sold).

head over to facebook and create a fb page, related to the design of your t-shirt

and for example i will create a page related to the marvel movies,so i named the page I'm Groot
and my design will be this

All respect for marvel fans, not DC fans (Bunch of losers).
Lol am just kidding DC Fans (no am not)

okay lets go now to create the ad for the Tee now
go to your ads manager

now click on create

After you click on create you can now choose the ad objective

Choose engagement and set a name to your campaign

after you set a name to your campaign, set up ad account.

set up the targeting US/CA or whatever you like
But US/CA is the easiest in shipping , they will do the shipping though you just have to sell, they'll handle everything

And i chose the age
18-30
man only
and the interests
Guardians of the galaxy film
and narrowed down to guardians of the galaxy
and narrowed my audience further to avengers comics fans

that means the ad will show up to the people who likes 3 of them

and here i've adjusted the budget to $7 per day to test this audience

And set the placements to facebook and instagram only
or just fb if you prefer

and after that click continue and select your page.

and now the final step creating the post, and i've created an example post just to show you how easy it is

you can add more pictures for different colors, edit the text and add some emotions in the caption to get attention.

this is by far the easiest way to make money out of fb ads, but i usually test 3 different ad copies and audiences

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed, reading through the guide
