I love your content. very unique and high production value. a must for enterpreneurs. however... please ask more business questions. in many episodes I am left wondering - cost of customer aquisition - life time customer value - what about returns, what about shipping costs, - what about unhappy customers - what do you pay your employees, what incentives do they have? how do you keep them`? when do you fire them? how do you manage them? specifics are key. everyone says their biggest cost are employees---yes but break it down, explain it, what is revenue per employee "we have the best customer service" ...yes but everyone says that. more specifics. we get 50 000 orders - yes but where do the customers from come, are they repeat customers, how much does a new customer cost? what if sth goes missing, breaks, how do you handle customer complaints what mistakes did they make setting up the warehouse, how did they improve it? those are the nitty gritty details that i would love to see in your videos. the interviewer is usually just impressed by what the guys says - and does not dive deep enough. i noticed that especially in the Joes repair shop and i heart dogs. it would have been so cool to know more.
this are some great questions! And i agree - i too am often left wondering about some of these. and sometimes i find answers from different sources and different videos about businesses. would be great to have them answered based on one business itself. so my accumulation of knowledge isnt scattered and loopholed
@@iamthegeorgebest so it's unfair to learn things? Now I know why you are poor. Fortunately you can change and actually improve yourself and create value for others instead of sitting around attempting to justify your laziness and lack.
This really came up to my feed at the right time especially as i am at the dilemma of building my first digital marketing agency right now! Thank You @Upflip
This right here is gold. 8 minutes in and I have to stop and take notes because already he's hitting me with these nuggets that I must master. I bow down to your greatness guys!
Great interview with Eric! His story and insights are truly inspiring. It's impressive how he turned Single Grain around from a struggling agency to a thriving business. One key takeaway from his journey is the importance of resilience and the willingness to learn from setbacks. His ability to adapt and focus on his core values, like 'improvement obsession,' is admirable. Btw, I'm curious, considering his experience, what advice would he give to someone who is just starting their entrepreneurial journey, especially in the fast-paced world of digital marketing?
That's fantastic to hear about all the knowledge you gained! Eric suggests that for those looking to start, it's essential to produce plenty of sample content and proactively connect with individuals. You can even begin marketing with a budget of $0, with the goal of attracting organic traffic.
The quality of Upflip is rapidly declining. Would love to see content about people who dont get lucky breaks, or at least not another 'finance/business' guru. This video and the last are straight up antithetical to your "how their success can be replicated". Start with picking businesses that are repeatable..
Why do you think that what he did is not replicable? Do you have a thing against digital marketing businesses in general or is it something about this particular video? Digital marketing does not require a degree, that is why I ask.
Everybody I’m listening to in these comments are NPC and that’s why you are very average . He could of started the company even a new one with $0 it literally takes having the correct knowledge and having great communication skills (which not a lot of you seem to have) with a little bit of networking and you can create anything even to the point where it will generate you millions . I started my cleaning company from 0 to $100,000 a year in revenue it isn’t a lot but in under 4 months . And all I did was basically hustle everyday and reach out to anybody I Can using these free platforms to network with the correct . Had them pay me and I also broke off with the cleaner , while being fully remote . He’s right when he said you just have to be a little bit smarter than average.
Dude that’s awesome I started a mini dorm cleaning business when I was at College and wanted to start my own legit cleaning business do you have an email or linkedin that I could ask you a few questions on?
I am interested in starting a marking agency. I want to get clients in USA,UK .but I live in Sri Lanka. Can I get clients from those countries while living in my country?(virtual marketing agencies)
This is not an upflip video, this is just an interview. Learned zero about starting an agency or what it involves or anything. Didnt even see the office or anything, we saw ballrooms for events.
Dude, go learn how to interview. Eric: you're really need to know how to work each platform. Interviewer: oh I see. Eric: yeah, you really need to understand what works natively on each platform. Interviewer: wow, that's great. 🤦🏻♂️. Ask him what!!!! How!!! Dig in!!! What a bozo.
I'm surprised about the comments. I find this channel very frustrating to watch. Just constant scene changes and fluff comments. It's like you're more focused on changing scenes than providing value to the audience. Unbelievably frustrating to watch the interviewee say 2 sentences and then get ANOTHER SCENE CHANGE. Good lord.
The difference between poor and rich today is no comparison to 40 years ago in terms of choosing a product that’s good quality for all, now it’s obvious product quality separates us yet poor people will see a Porsche commercial and a mustang commercial and Kia PICANTO commercial!!! Blind if you don’t see it!
Unfortunately, in some industries, especially in his niche, jobs can be automated using AI. It's an unavoidable trend as companies seek to reduce expenses and cut costs wherever possible.

I love your content. very unique and high production value. a must for enterpreneurs.
however...
please ask more business questions. in many episodes I am left wondering
- cost of customer aquisition
- life time customer value
- what about returns, what about shipping costs,
- what about unhappy customers
- what do you pay your employees, what incentives do they have? how do you keep them`? when do you fire them? how do you manage them?
specifics are key. everyone says their biggest cost are employees---yes but break it down, explain it, what is revenue per employee
"we have the best customer service" ...yes but everyone says that. more specifics.
we get 50 000 orders - yes but where do the customers from come, are they repeat customers, how much does a new customer cost?
what if sth goes missing, breaks, how do you handle customer complaints
what mistakes did they make setting up the warehouse, how did they improve it?
those are the nitty gritty details that i would love to see in your videos. the interviewer is usually just impressed by what the guys says - and does not dive deep enough.

he was a vp at marketing before he started he did not start with pennys and he had a knowledge headstart
That's the unfair advantage most people don't want to acknowledge
If that's what you took away from this video, your mindset has already beat you.
@@iamthegeorgebest so it's unfair to learn things? Now I know why you are poor. Fortunately you can change and actually improve yourself and create value for others instead of sitting around attempting to justify your laziness and lack.
@illuminated2438 what I'm saying and how you're hearing it are two entirely different things.
FYI, I'm in the same business he is, and I'm not poor.
This really came up to my feed at the right time especially as i am at the dilemma of building my first digital marketing agency right now! Thank You @Upflip

"The grass is greener where you water it"
This video is full of valuable info!
The key takeaway for me is the importance of laser-focused determination and building a loyal audience.
one of the biggest flexes out there is using a $3000 Nikon or Canon as a webcam camera
So much great knowledge in one video!
Greaaat perspective! I learn a loooottt from this video. I'm going to apply. Thank you

Really sharp and valuable information
Thanks for the great content
What business is thiss? 10mins into the video I still dont get what his business is.
Digital Marketing Agency
Single Grain

How does he have time to do al the helping and manage his business?
Neil Patel is a famous seo already. This is a Bs success story.
Immense value in this video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This episode was amazing! Thank you!
amazing episode
Eric dropped a bowl of Rhodium nuggets! Have to watch a second time to take copious notes.
I applied for a single-grain PPC role and got rejected multiple times until... there is no until 😔😔
“Outlast” that hits hard.
It does! Any business you want to see next? 🤔
Brilliant video
He gets most of his clients from SEO and referrals but he doesn’t recommend that new SMMA agencies use SEO???
I'm an SEO and the reason is because SEO takes weeks to months to work and possibly by then you'd be tired and give up
I will start a career in digital marketing. But i m confused which can land me clients faster?? Google ads skiills or content creation skills
Valuable content

Sounds like he ran a business into the ground so he could buy it for pennies, to fix it once he owned it.
😂😂😂😂😂
The founder was tired and wanted to go do something else. We still talk today and are on good terms.
😂🤣😂🤣

This was such a great interview! Lots of value 🎉
Glad it was helpful! Were you inspired to start your own digital marketing business? ☺️

Definitely ran it into the ground knowing the whole time he had altered motives
No he did seller finance so he paid the same with the profits

Damn Eric is still alive?
What do you mean?
Did you guys take down the wes watson video
Yeah it’s gone lol😂. This channel is toast
@@bart1meuz Whats goin on with the channel?
Ah..... the book case , row 12 , 3rd book in what book is it and what did you learn?
I bet he didn't read them all.
Why do you guys keep deleting videos? Where is the One with Wes watson
"I've only read 10% of these book and I like Nassim Taleb." At which point I closed this video.
This is not an upflip video, this is just an interview. Learned zero about starting an agency or what it involves or anything. Didnt even see the office or anything, we saw ballrooms for events.

Nice!
18:03 “costs have decreased by 80%” also means… people are losing their jobs. So fantastic 😒

He sales courses. How can we believe he is not selling a dream??
