Building An Online Business—That’s Not on Amazon, with Allen Walton Ep #13

Are you interested in diving into the world of online sales, but have NO interest in selling on Amazon? Do you have a product idea that you can’t wait to launch? More often than not, people associate a product being sold online with Amazon. My guest, Allen Walton of SpyGuy.com will talk about why Amazon doesn’t work for everyone and what you can do instead.  Allen specializes in selling all things ‘spy industry’ including surveillance cameras, GPS tracking, and even bug detectors! He started working in the niche in 2009 and by 2014 had learned enough to launch his own store. He’s grown a successful business that now earns 7 figures a year. In this episode, you’ll hear about his decision to use Shopify over Amazon, finding mentors, what he wishes he would’ve known—and more! Outline of This Episode [3:50] I introduce my guest, Allen Walton. [5:40] Pivotal moment that led to launching his store [8:25] Why he doesn’t use Amazon [11:25] Selling and manufacturing electronics [15:30] Learning his industry [18:30] Story about Tim Ferriss [22:40] How to find mentors [32:50] Driving traffic to your site [36:20] Where to focus your advertising [41:00] Things he would have done differently [43:00] Book recommendations Why Allen decided to use Shopify over Amazon Customers who purchase from SpyGuy usually have a particular reason for doing so that they prefer to keep private. They could be purchasing surveillance equipment to catch someone in the act of stealing, record workplace harassment, or catch a cheating spouse. Many of the devices can be considered invasive, and anything that “secretly intercepts or records” audio or video is banned from Amazon. So, quite simply, the largest reason he doesn’t sell on Amazon is that many—if not all— of Allen’s products cannot be sold on Amazon. Another reason? Many customers purchase surveillance equipment and within days have the answer they were looking for. With Amazon’s lenient return policies, Allen knew that his company would hemorrhage profits! Shopify is different in that they provide the tools necessary to build your own online store—with a much smaller list of restrictions.  Creative ways you can find a mentor  Allen’s #1 recommendation for finding a mentor is to become active in online communities related to E-Commerce. You can learn an immense amount just by interacting with people who have been where you’ve been. Using online platforms is the perfect way to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other. Even better, If you join a paid group, they tend to weed out the “wantrepreneurs”. AKA, people who aspire to be entrepreneurs but aren’t there yet, or may never be. This solidifies that everyone in the group is there to contribute valuable information and not just probing for questions. Another way you can locate entrepreneurs to gain wisdom from? Go where they are! Embrace networking and attend conferences (or “unconferences”) or events where you know the key players in your industry will be. Allen lives by the mantra “If I’m doing interesting things then I’m going to meet interesting people.'' He strives to be helpful, entertaining, and be real with people. He’s always shown a willingness to learn and believes you should do the same as well. This episode is packed with tried and true tips straight from Allen—definitely give it a listen. The many ways you can drive traffic to your store—and choosing the best option for you How do you decide where to spend your advertising budget? With the many options available it can be a difficult choice. Allen decided to primarily use Google’s AdWords to drive traffic to his website. It allowed his business to be profitable from the beginning and gave his customers the anonymity they were looking for. Most people searching for surveillance equipment don’t want to be found out, right? So marketing on Facebook or Instagram aren’t necessarily the best means of advertising for him. However, he has a friend who sells crochet hooks and is absolutely crushing it doing Facebook ads. The bottom line is that you need to keep your audience in mind. Make sure you do your due diligence when researching your market, and the way you market your product should become clear. A tool Allen recommends to help grow your search traffic is ahrefs. It’s a great way to monitor your niche and gauge competition in the space. Why Search Engine Optimization (SEO) needs to be prioritized When asked what advice he would have given to himself when he started his business, Allen joked that he would’ve said don’t go into electronics. All joking aside, he recommends putting time and energy into SEO. He didn’t make it a priority from day one and regrets it. While paid ads got him traffic immediately, in the long-haul you want multiple channels directing traffic to your site. He believes if he had invested in SEO from the start, he could essentially just end his ad campaigns and still get the majority of the traffic needed to turn a profit. The point is that Google can be fickle, and their algorithms are constantly changing. Who knows if his ads will be shuffled around or no longer prioritized—so he emphasizes utilizing multiple modalities of driving traffic. Allen is quirky, real, and blatantly honest—all wonderful qualities in an entrepreneur. This episode is chock-full of valuable information and resources that you don’t want to miss!

Often the topic of diversity and inclusion is overlooked in veterinary medicine, and Allen Cannedy is dedicated to changing that. The Director of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs at North Carolina State University College of Vet Med, Allen is a mentor and recruiter of students from all groups that are underrepresented in the veterinary world. Today we are diving into racism, socioeconomic status, and how we can do a better job of making the veterinary world, and the world in general, a more inclusive place. We are touching on sensitive topics that deal with years of oppression and looking to the future and ways we can increase inclusion to better serve all humans and animals. Allen is passionate about bringing the necessity of diversity and the benefits of welcoming someone different than you in. We are reliving my childhood innocence about race, and looking at the modern landscape of how our society operates today and how we can improve going forward. By recognizing and appreciating that a diverse group is a stronger one, we can continue to expand as a profession. Allen is changing the way we view diversity in the veterinary field and encourages us all to be champions for diversity and inclusion. What are your experiences with the topics discussed today? Share with us in the comments on the episode page!   In This Episode Race, religion, and acceptance in veterinary schools and admissions processes Key points that any organization needs to do before bringing diversity change How as a society of human beings we need to start helping each other out Why Allen chose to specialize in goats, sheep, lamas, and alpacas What are HBCU’s and why they are important to the American education system   Quotes “To make diversity and inclusion a reality, you've gotta invest, you cannot just talk about it to make it happen” (4:30) “Those individuals are telling them things that are wrong. It is up to me and others like me to raise awareness, correct those misconceptions and hopefully correct them with individuals that are different from me so those individuals can correct the thinking in those like them” (11:42) “Looking at people and appreciating people and accepting people for who they are is really all we need to be doing. And not passing judgment based on what someone looks like and the assumptions that come with those things” (17:50) “I question them to think about what they are saying because it's highly possible that nobody has ever questioned it before” (44:38)   Links My Mobile Vet   Find the full show notes here  Keep up with everything Podcast A Vet Follow Podcast A Vet on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Join our free community of dedicated vet professionals looking to improve their practices and lives in our free Facebook community!

In this episode, I reflect on the key success strategies discussed by Allen Brouwer in his podcast interview.

In Danielle Allen’s elegiac family memoir, Cuz: On the Life and Times of Michael A., she tries to make sense of a young African American man’s tragic coming-of-age in Los Angeles. Allen, a Harvard professor and author of Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality, became the “cousin-on-duty” when her younger cousin Michael was released from prison. Arrested at fifteen, tried as an adult—three years after his release, Michael was shot and killed. Why? Allen’s deeply personal and poignant story is an unwavering look at a world transformed by the sudden availability of narcotics and the rise of street gangs, drugs, and the failures of mass incarceration. Rallying an urgent call for system-wide reform, Allen discusses her new work with Franklin Leonard, a film executive who founded The Black List, a yearly publication featuring Hollywood’s most popular unproduced screenplays.
