John is currently the CEO of Calendar.com.  John Rampton goes through 9 marketing strategies he and his companies used to to increase online sales over $400M in 2020.

Hello Monetization Nation. I recently interviewed John Rampton, who is one of the top digital marketing influencers. He is a regular contributor to leading business sites, such as Entrepreneur, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal. John is a serial entrepreneur, and currently operates digital ventures such as Due.com and Calendar.com. In this interview, John tells the story about a business he grew to $110 million of annual revenue. $92 million of that revenue was from sales on Amazon. Amazon essentially shut down that business after they launched a competing product. John and I discuss why it is so important to build a “skyscraper” on “land” we own, along with other monetization stories and secrets. Building a Skyscraper on Land You Own John and I first met when we both worked for a company named FamilyLink. Family Link created the We're Related Facebook app, which became the 4th largest Facebook app with more than 60 million app installs. As a part-time Chief Revenue Officer, we went from almost no revenue to more than $5 million of revenue in 12 months.  Unfortunately, Facebook saw how many people wanted this functionality and built similar functionality into their core offering. Then, Facebook made it extremely difficult for the We're Related app to continue to operate. The reality is that publicly-traded platforms are going to ultimately make decisions that are in the best interest of their shareholders, which includes making decisions that better monetize their platforms. Family Link truly built a skyscraper on leased land that Facebook owned, and Facebook had the right to take the land away any time they wanted. As a result, FamilyLink lost most of its business value. Amazon Competing with 3rd-Party Vendors Amazon used a similar strategy in which they allowed 3rd-party vendors to sell on their platform. Many of these 3rd-party vendors made a lot of money from their relationship with Amazon. Unfortunately, this is another example of building a skyscraper on leased land. When Amazon learned which products sold the best, Amazon decided to go directly to manufacturers and cut many of the 3rd-party vendors out of the loop. The 3rd-party vendors were essentially doing market research for Amazon so Amazon knew the most profitable products to sell directly. Amazon owned the land, so as soon as they had their own product, it was easy to preference their products on the Amazon platform. The Rise and Fall of Organize John purchased and grew a company named Organize. He sold a “scrap trap” that hangs on the end of kitchen counters. As you cut, you can scrape your scraps into it. He used Amazon and other platforms to grow his business. He estimates that more than 30% of the kitchens in America have this scrap trap. He went from “smaller 7 figures” to “8 figures a month.” Annual revenue exceeded $110 million.  John says that “Whatever a platform can give, they can take it away.” This is what happened to John and his company. One day the Organize team noticed a competing product that showed up higher in Amazon search results than his product. He tried bidding much higher amounts per click but was unable to get his listing above this new product. Amazon also undercut John on price.  After they launched a competing product, Amazon turned off John's product listing and would not turn it back on. As a result in a very short period of time, John lost a $92 million per year revenue stream from selling products through Amazon. John had to lay off 76 people in one day. He liquidated his inventory and the business went under.  How Should We Work with Platforms It's ok to work with other platforms such as Facebook and Amazon. This can help to radically accelerate our growth, especially before we've built our own large platforms. However, it is important to realize that our relationships with those platforms will most likely change over time to their benefit and our detriment. So, we must build platforms of our own, such as our own blogs and email lists, where we have direct relationships with our customers and can contact them when we choose. Then, as we use other platforms such as Facebook and Amazon, we are focused on driving the traffic to our platform, so we can own the relationships, and are not dependent on other platforms. Diversification John encourages entrepreneurs and business leaders to diversify, to sell through other channels such as affiliate partners, so we are not dependent upon a handful of platforms, such as Amazon. John says about 85% of his revenue was from one source, and when Amazon chose to compete and shut down John's business, he lost the entire company. John recommends that no more than 40% of a business's revenue be from one source so they can weather the storm when they lose any one revenue stream. If a revenue stream becomes more than 40% of revenue, John pushes really hard to grow revenue through other sources, even less-profitable sources. Here are four effective ways to diversify our revenue if one source grows too large:  Create new products and services so we aren't too dependent on one product.  Develop new marketing channels so we aren't too dependent on one channel.  Try to drive customers from other platforms to our platforms, such as your email list so you can build direct relationships with customers, and contact them directly when a platform shuts us down. John advises us to focus everything we can on driving every sale through our websites, so people learn that is where they go to buy from our companies. Work with a diverse group of influencers through an affiliate program. Pay the influencers for sales that result from them sending visitors directly to your site. Platforms will probably not be able to take away these influencer relationships. Liquidating Inventory John tells a great story about how he learned to liquidate huge amounts of inventory quickly. He grew his liquidation revenue from about $5,000 per day to more than $150,000 per day just by hiring people to dance with signs on the sidewalk. He used this strategy to liquidate $500,000+ in three days.  Due.com Invoicing System John purchased an invoicing company, then he required hundreds of people to send him invoices to use that system. He logged in one day and the invoicing system had ballooned to 32,000 registered users and almost 200,000 invoices sent in the last 30 days. He was excited by this huge growth, so he purchased the Due.com domain name and added an upgraded subscription for people who wanted to send a larger number of invoices. Due.com now has more than 500,000 active users. Calendar.com John has created a new business, Calendar.com, that brings all of our calendars together into one place, allowing us to merge our personal and business calendars, but not allowing the personal events to be seen by business colleagues. Business managers can sign their teams up for Calendar.com, and see how their team members are allocating their time. With Calendar.com we can easily book meetings and publish our calendar online if we want to. Calendar.com already has hundreds of thousands of customers. Freemium Business Model John has very successfully used the freemium business model to monetize both Due.com and Calendar.com. John allowed customers to use the core software for free so that the services could get some traction and momentum. Then, once a lot of people were hooked on the software, he started selling upgraded versions of the services. The freemium model also allows businesses to launch quick (MVPs) minimum viable products that can be rolled out to the market quickly to see if we have something the market really wants. Furthermore, as initial customers used the service, John was able to see what they were actually doing, and once he knew the most valuable features, he used that information to develop the premium subscription service. John also emailed all of the free customers and asked them what they would be willing to pay for. Then, he found the most common responses and turned those into features of the premium subscription service. Recurring Revenue from SAAS Companies John transitioned from being an e-commerce entrepreneur to being SAAS (software as a service) entrepreneur. He loves the SAAS model because it provides consistent, recurring revenue. He's able to avoid huge revenue swing months and able to easily calculate the lifetime value of a customer.  High-Level PR Engagement to Grow SEO One of John's secrets to digital marketing success is using high-level PR engagement to grow SEO. John starts this process by writing for high-level publications such as Forbes, CNN, Wall Street Journal, Inc, Mashable, TechCrunch, and New York Times. He is not paid for these articles, but he is allowed to add links from those articles to his sites. Those links from high-quality sites provide tremendous value to John's ventures and help them to rank much higher in search engine results.  Become the Very Best at Something John advises that we should pick something and learn everything we can about it, and become #1 in the world at it. So many people think that to succeed in business you have to be the best at a million different things. Instead, he suggests that we should focus on becoming the best at one thing, and then expand over time into other things. How to Become a Writer for Leading Publications John gives advice on how to become an effective writer for leading publications.  Start writing for your own blog and start to build your following. Then, approach smaller publications to help you build your reputation and following. As your following and reputation grow, you can start writing for larger and larger publications. Then, network to an editor at a leading publication you want to write for. Work on nurturing a relationship with that editor, such as by commenting on and sharing content from that publication.  Focus your articles on providing actual value to the readers. Don't be promotional at all, but it is ok to add links.  Be really authentic in what you write.  Build a large personal social following and share what you write with that following. It will take time, but be consistent.  Genuinely Help People Without Expecting Anything in Return John says, “If you can build up trust with someone, they will follow you for life.” John has a motto in life. He likes to genuinely help others without wanting or needing anything in return. John finds that 1 in every 10 people he helps will help him back. 1 in every 100 people he helps will turn into a financial relationship where John makes money. And, 1 in every 1,000 people he helps turns into a multi-million dollar relationship. So, John tries to genuinely help 3 people every day. The people that John helps are his tribe.  John shares a story of someone he started helping, and that person helped John in return. This relationship of reciprocity continued for years, and now they are making millions of dollars together as business partners.

Here are some of the top secrets that stood out to me from today's episode:  We can use a platform strategy to quickly grow our business. However, we need to build a skyscraper on land we own. This means we should focus on driving as many people as we can to our site and email list so we have direct relationships with customers that cannot be shut off by a platform.  We should diversify, so no more than 40% of our business is coming from one source. The SAAS (software as a service) business model is very attractive because it can provide consistent, recurring revenue. We can effectively grow our credibility and search engine backlinks by writing for leading publications. However, we should remember that when we do this we are building on land that someone else owns. For example, John put a lot of time into writing for Inc. One day he received a call that they were done working with him, and all of the effort he invested there was gone. So, we have to focus on bringing people back to something we own, such as an email list when we are doing a platform strategy. We should genuinely help people with no expectation of anything in return. However, because of the law of reciprocity, many of those people will want to help us as well.

Named #2 on Top 50 Online Influencers in the World by Entrepreneur Magazine, online marketing expert John Rampton shares why profit and revenue are the only real metrics that you need to track.

SHOW NOTES: On this show, we talked about support; understanding when you need it, recognizing when you can offer it, and being open enough to embrace it all. Many believe we have the power to manage our lives and our emotions very logically and systematically. The more you put it the more the payoff. You work hard and you get a big reward. Then life throws you a curveball, something you never saw coming, and you realize, no amount of preparation or sweat equity could help you easily turn this thing around. You need help. Admitting that is the most important step and definitely the hardest one. You feel like a failure because you weren’t able to manage life’s ups & downs on your own. In your mind, you are the only one who waved the white flag.  Recognizing you need help comes from being honest with yourself and in honesty, understanding your limitations. These could be physical limitations or emotional and they might be so closely intertwined that you can’t recognize the difference. Stress happens. In fact, stress is perfectly normal and, in some cases, even beneficial. John Rampton talks about 4 ways to deal with the stress of being overwhelmed without shutting down in an article for Entrepreneur.  John covers the effects of chronic stress and 4 ways to work through it. Remember: This too shall pass. Increase oxygen flow. Prioritize and delegate. Shift your focus. Whether you're afraid someone will laugh at you for being incompetent, or you just can't admit to yourself that you don't have it all handled, asking for help can be hard. It can be embarrassing, too—especially if you feel like everyone else is keeping up and you're the only one falling behind. Whether you're embarrassed to talk to your doctor about your depression, or you're scared to tell your boss you don't understand a project, the longer you put off asking for help, the worse your problem may become. I found 5 Things to Remember When You're Embarrassed to Ask for Help from Amy Morin, LCSW for Psychology Today Admitting you need help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Getting help can save you a lot of time and aggravation. Seeking assistance gives others an opportunity to serve you. You aren't the only one struggling. Asking for help can make you more comfortable in your own skin. I talk about my own experience with support groups and starting my own over two years ago: ...Sharing your struggles is a way to receive support without directly asking for help. It gives you a chance to connect and bond in experience and understanding with people you might have no other reason to connect with.  When we keep our experiences and our feelings about those negative or positive to ourselves, we tend to blur, exaggerate, add grandeur, or downplay what actually happened. These memories play over and over again in your mind and it’s natural that some facts could get forgotten or rosier endings are added. Giving an account to another trusted individual and help you work through these memories with accuracy which could, in turn, help you categorize these experiences differently.  But what if, despite what everyone says, you still feel alone? Well, I found 11 Things to Do When You Feel Like You Don't Have Anybody by Sarah Schuster for The Mighty.  Find a Facebook group for people who share a common interest. Turn to a pet or spend time with animals. Join a book club. Find a support group. Meet up with people through Meetup. Start volunteering.

Interview with John Rampton, Founder and CEO of Calendar & Contributor on Entrepreneur and Inc.

I had the pleasure of speaking to John Rampton. John is an online marketing expert with a string of successful businesses that he has started and owned. John’s first attempt at starting an online business began with a blog. He began writing for his blog for nine months before he was able to begin monetizing it. Within five months of beginning to monetize his blog he was able to make $2,000. Then within 14 months of starting his blog he was able to sell it to someone else netting over $20,000. That early win and experience gave him the experience necessary to begin more online ventures. During the course of the interview we discuss how to start an online business. The methods that John recommends to reach out to people that have grown similar businesses to the one that you are looking to start. Also John gives recommendations on how to acquire a web based business and where to go to get one, if you are looking to purchase an already established one. The biggest parallel that I have found with these web companies was with real estate. Each website or piece of digital “real estate” has its own value which can vary depending upon the buyer, the niche, etc. John had two great recommendations on how to value web based companies. The first was to value it based upon the cost it would take you to develop the site to the point its at now. The second point that he mentioned was to look for sales of similar web based businesses in the same niche. The perceived and actual value for a web based business can vary wildly based upon the niche. If  you want to find out more about starting an online business or marketing you can reach out to John at johnrampton.com.

Cal looks at how John Rampton made millions by becoming one of the top online influencers in the world – tracing Rampton’s ascent back to an accident in college that left John bedridden in a hospital for months. John learned to master social media in that hospital bed, and he shows Cal how “giving away the farm” on the Internet is a gift that just keeps on giving through success and hard times. The founder and chief of online companies like Calendar and Due tells Cal he has numerical proof of the benefits of kindness. If you help people out on the Internet, John says, 1 in 10 will help you back. 1 in every 100 people that you help out will turn into a financial relationship. And 1 in every 1,000 people you help can turn into a million-dollar relationship.” Cal leaves the conversation hoping it will change his life – and yours, too.

Looking for a new business idea? John Rampton is here to help! In this episode, we will discuss John's new business idea for the calendar marketplace. In the interview, John points out that calendars haven't been updated and improved upon for almost 10-20 years. They went digital, but that's about it. The challenges that we face, like scheduling amongst a group and team members at work, takes too much time. It is John's belief that artificial intelligence may help solve this problem, by helping us better know when each person is able to connect, the best time, and proper length. Learn about the marketplace, potential revenue model, and best way to approach the business.

John Rampton is the founder of Due.com. We met with him, and asked him what he would work on if he wasn't currently working on Due.com. He shares his idea of how to better cure cancer.  In this special interview, he explains how he would attempt to create a business around the cancer industry.

Hey everyone, today's interview is with my friend John Rampton, CEO of Due which is an easy way to send money and mobile payments, and makes collecting money easy. He was recently named #2 on the Top 50 Online influencers list by Entrepreneur Magazine and guest blogs on Entrepreneur, Forbes, TechCrunch, Mashable and Huffington Post. Today we're talking about how John reaches millions of people through blogging, how his frustration in slow-paying clients led to building his own successful solution, his genius method for acquiring his first 15,000 clients, and why size doesn't matter—when it comes to content, that is!

We're talking to John Rampton, the Founder of Due.com—that's spelled due.com—an online payments service (and much more) that's great for working with contractors, freelancers, and remote employees. John is also a frequent contributor to pretty much all of the biggest online publications… Mashable, TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, Inc, Forbes, you name it… he's probably been there. He was recently named #3 on Entrepreneur Magazine's list of the top 50 online influencers in the world, in part due to his incredibly engaged Twitter following of 1.5 Million people. Things weren't always so glamorous for John though… during college he experienced a pretty traumatizing accident while earning some extra money helping a friend out on a construction site. His leg was broken in several parts, he had multiple surgeries and doctors told him he'd never walk again… it took him almost 3 years of rehab and 10's of thousands of dollars in expenses each month, but he eventually recovered. And what could've been this very dark time for John, instead became the foundation for his next business—he got into online marketing, hiring contractors, and growing an affiliate marketing business in the real estate space.

John is an entrepreneur, connector and startup enthusiast. He truly enjoys helping people find their passion in life. He is the founder of Due.

Today I’m thrilled to have John Rampton with me on the show. John is someone who I met at FinCon 2 years ago and he’s got an amazing story to share with you today. In fact, his story is almost unreal. 10 years ago, he was working in construction when he had his legs crushed in a freak accident. He didn’t think he could walk again and during that time when he was bed ridden, he studied business, marketing and selling online 16-20 hours a day. Fast forward to today, he’s started a bunch of 7 figure companies. He writes […] The post 108: How John Rampton Lost His 7 Figure Amazon Business appeared first on MyWifeQuitHerJob.com.

We’ve been making purchases online for over a decade now, but within the last few years there’s been a transition happening. We’re not just making purchases online anymore, we’re budgeting, paying bills, doing our banking – even paying back our friends. When is the last time you went into a bank to deposit a check? Ordered checks? How about to the ATM to get cash to pay back your buddy? There are so many apps now that eliminate the need to actually go into your branch office or to the ATM. On this episode of the Zing podcast, we sat down with John Rampton, founder and CEO of Due.com, to discuss a few of the exciting things happening in the world of financial technology, or FinTech, as it’s more commonly known. We talked about everything from online budgeting tools like Mint, to the future of money transfers. DISCLAIMER: The information provided in this podcast is not financial advice.

John's success is incredible, particularly when looked at alongside survival rate statistics for new businesses. According to the Small Business Association, only half of new businesses will survive the first five years and only a third will make it past 10. Given these sobering statistics, and as a small business owner myself, I was thrilled by the opportunity to chat with John. We discussed the traits successful entrepreneurs share and how they can be leveraged to build healthy businesses.
