Promise: How to Take Advantage on Popular Trends

The reason why we are here today is that I'm really excited to share how you can take advantage of some very popular trends and also emerging technology. This emerging technology is going to allow you to make money and grow your business in ways that you were never able to do before. By getting into the forefront of this trend, where people are spending millions, billions, and even almost trillions of dollars within these industries, you are going to be able to grow your business.

One of the reasons why eCommerce and self-publishing were able to take off is because the average person was able to enter these. The barriers of entry were removed. It used to be that if you wanted to sell products, you would have to have relationships with wholesalers and distributors, and you would have to be like a door-to-door salesman, pretty much. Nowadays, not only can you sell online, but you also have access to products that are ready to go as well as personalized and unique products.

Companies like Amazon, which of course is at the forefront, but also eBay, Shopify, Etsy, all make it very, very easy for people to sell their own products. In addition to that, we also have the self-publishing boom. It wasn't very long ago that if you wanted to publish, you had to get an agent, and you had to go through a publishing company. Only very few lucky people were actually able to publish. Now pretty much anyone can publish.

Now we have, again with these emerging technologies, the ability to do physical products and print on demand. Companies used to have to spend millions and millions of dollars on their equipment, but now individuals can use their technologies and create customizable, unique products that they can instantly put out in the marketplace.
