In this episode… To grow an online business, e-commerce entrepreneurs need to focus on three foolproof methods: increasing customer numbers, increasing the value of transactions, and increasing the frequency of transactions. Most e-commerce sellers pursue traditional advertising in the hope that it will raise brand awareness. But serial entrepreneur Mitch Russo advocates free advertising using PR methods such as podcast features, press releases, and news articles. However, don't expect instant results — it could take 30 or more appearances to experience sales conversions. Growing a fanbase helps immensely with boosting transaction frequencies. Mitch recommends creating effective communications and content using platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to build a loyal following. LinkedIn and email campaigns are also effective channels to reach your target audience.

Click To Tweet Show Notes: Here's a fun question for you…If you could go back in time with whom would you like to spend a day with? Steve Jobs. That's my favourite person in the world. Elon Musk is one too but Steve Jobs, I think he did the impossible, I think he did it as a person who came into this world with both gifts and deficits. He overcame them and found a way to build something amazing. What stops most entrepreneurs from breaking through and being successful? Entrepreneurs who break through appears to be overnight successes. I think most people don't realize how hard it is to find something of value, find a way to present it to others and also find a way to begin selling it successfully. Entrepreneurship is a journey and it's never a single action or a single thing. It's a process, a journey and it requires many different discipline. That's why I love entrepreneurship so much. I believe it is one of the most creative ways to challenge yourself, to build wealth and to build community. What is success for you? It is different for different people. It can money, like what a lot of persons think of. But success can also be satisfaction, the joy of doing the work you love. What do you say to those who are fearful of succeeding, fearful of criticism/ fearful of attention? Criticism is strongest from inside. Most of what people are listening to is that voice that's inside. For many people that voice tells them that they are not smart enough, that they are not good enough. It's the ability to fight that back, the ability to recognize that is part of human nature protection system and overcome it and understanding that it is not protecting us at all. It is the same mechanism designed to keep us safe in the jungle. It is not the mechanism today that is valuable. The best thing to do is to try and overcome those feelings and if everybody else has comments like that, like you, you simply disregard them because they are simply not valid. Was there ever a point you had to face your own demon of fear? Yes. It comes up to this day. Facing one's demo is a big category. To me what demons are is those tiny little voices that say, "oh no you can't do that", or 'you're not good enough or there are smarter people in the world that you, why do you think you can go off do that that. Those are the demons that haunt too many of us. In an entrepreneurial life when you're mostly alone or working with a small team, that's when the demons get to speak the loudest. I think it is our job as entrepreneurs to overcome those feelings and those voices and instead focus only on outcomes. What was starting, running and then selling your successful company like? I think, like many good ideas, that materialize in this world, that idea did not start as the idea that materialize. It started as a different idea. It (the software company) started as an idea to keep track of time so I could deduct my computer from my taxes. Back then, computers were thought of as toys by the IRS. My partner and I agreed that this was good idea and we built an entire to keep track of time to make sure we could deduct them from our taxes. Just about the time we quit our jobs and ready to launch, the IRS relaxed their ruling on that very thing. Without any notice,
