Let there be light.
Wait—let me edit that.
Let there be good light. On your face on your products.
Whether you’re doing a Facebook Live or just shooting a quick video to post later, do yourself a favor and check your lighting.
Bad lighting brings out every under-eye circle and makes you just look…well…sad.
Good lighting makes you look refreshed, energetic and…well, not sad. ...and gosh darn it you are beautiful!!
I totally, cross-my-heart❤️, pinky-swear that you’ll be way more excited about how your videos or products look (and be crazy, CRAZY more self-confident about doing more in the future.)
The picture...no filters. I just turned around. Light in front. Dark in back. I just gained 10 youthful years and I'll take that!
Do you have any other photo/light tips I wanna hear them!

❌NEVER SALE A PRODUCT.
❌NEVER SALE A PRODUCT.
Wait...wha The one thing I've learned over the 8 years of selling products on line, is to never sell a product. EVER. It doesn't work.
You SELL THE VISION.
When I sold rubber stamps that had teacher’s class designs, I never sold the functionality of rubber and ink.
I sold ‘This could possibly be the ticket to your son/daughter being the ‘teacher's pet’ status.’
I told a mini story to my customers so they could visualize the process of how excited their kid would be to give a cool gift to the teacher.
It worked. We sold thousands.
Take a step back and look at your physical products that you are selling. See the vision and talk about that.
If the vision and value are strong, people will give you the money.
It’s just how it works.

Maybe you’re just in the wrong place?
Have you ever tried to sell anything and it just flopped? Like it didn’t even cover the cost of the air you sighed when you saw the total sales number?
Double tap if you know the feeling…it’s okay, you are not alone.
I’ve done it too. BUT, there is a secret to this madness and I’m excited to share with you.
You know how in real estate they say it’s all about ‘location, location, location’? Well, it’s the same thing with sales too.
Check out the numbers below. They’re absolutely real...and they all involve the EXACT same product being sold. The only difference was where I was selling it.
#1 Location - Garage Sale (Sold for $5 Total $30.00)
#2 Location - My Website (Sold for $29.99 Total $11,000+)
#3 Location- Influencer (Sold for $34.99 Total $7,000+)
#4 Location - Marketplace (Sold for $34.99 Total $24,000+)
So let’s start with that garage sale. My girls put a couple of the products that I was selling online onto a table at a garage sale they’d decided to have. They put a $5 sticker on them. People walked by all morning long...until they showed one gal that the items were selling right then and there for $34.99. She got so excited that she snatched them all up, amazed at her good fortune.
My girls pulled in a whopping $30 from selling those products at a garage sale. I sold the EXACT same products online and pulled in $24,000.
The EXACT same product. I seriously cannot say it enough.
At the garage sale, everyone thought $5 was too expensive. Online, people couldn’t believe what a great value they were getting at 5 times that.
Maybe it’s not the product that’s flopping, maybe it’s the location you’re choosing.
Mix it up. Get out of your comfort zone.
Make those sales because they belong to you!

Deep thought:
If you can’t learn to make money WITHOUT any money, then you probably can’t learn to make money WITH money.
Did you just raise an eyebrow at that one and kinda think…”What the heck…?”
What percentage of lottery winners go BROKE within 5 years...I heard it was 75% of them.
Wanna know why?
Because they never learned the foundations of money first.
Not how to save it. Not how to spend it wisely. Not how to use it to build an even bigger future.
I started my first company with pretty much zero.
I turned old craft supplies → into cash.
I used that cash to build my business.
Not having money isn’t the issue.
Not understanding how to MAKE money is.
Who's ready to stop making excuses and get to work

Hi, I'm Alison
This is my life. I didn't know this would be my life, but sure glad it is. .
.
I graduated college as an 8th-grade math and science teacher and was excited to get that steady monthly income. BUT, I quickly discovered that my paychecks qualified me for food stamps♀️. Ya, not cool.
.
.
With my husband still in school, I decided to figure out how to make money as a stay at home mom.
.
.
I dabbled in business ventures here and there, but nothing really stuck...until I discovered the magical world of the internet. (insert angels singing)
.
.
I soon learned about selling products online and building my own business and my world changed. .
.
I learned that I could work from home (in my pj's) = and create an income that would crazy surpass any amount I could have made teaching . .
.
Never in a million years would I have ever dreamed that my kids and I would be standing in a container full of products hot off the boat from China when 9 years ago I was just trying to figure out how in the world to set up an online store and log into gmail. .
.
I think the best part of this is that my kids have been a part of this journey the entire time. .
.
They've learned about business, they've learned that they have options and can choose the future they want. .
.
There have been tears and cheers in the journey, but I couldn't ask for anybody better to do it with than my family!
Double tap this pic, if you work with your family. I'd love to know who does!
