You're listening to the My Wife Quitter Job podcast, the place where I bring on successful

bootstrap business owners and delve deeply into what strategies are working and what strategies

are not with their businesses.

Now today I'm thrilled to have Greg Mercer back on the show.

Now we all know Greg as the founder of Jungle Scout,

but most people don't know that Greg is actually a digital nomad. He runs a multi-million dollar

e-commerce business as well as a multi-million dollar software company while traveling

the world with no home base.

And today we're going to find out how he does it.

But before I begin, I want to give a quick shout out to Privy, who is a sponsor of the show.

Now Privy is the tool I use to build my email

list for both my blog and my online store. Now what does Privy do? Well, Privy is an

email list growth platform and they manage all of my email capture forms.

And in fact, I use privy hand in hand with all my email marketing providers.

Now, there are a bunch of companies out there that will manage your email capture forms,

but I like privy because they specialize in e-commerce.

Right now I'm using Privy to display a cool Wheel of Fortune pop-up.

Basically a user gives their email for a chance to win valuable prizes in our store.

And customers love the gamification aspect of this. And when I

implemented this form, email signups increased by 131%. There are the cool things that you can do too.

So for example, let's say you offer free shipping for orders over a hundred bucks.

Well, you can tell Privy to flash a pop-up when the customer is $90 in their shopping cart to urge them to insert one more item.
