Who Wins this Critical Thinking Challenge About Social Commerce Future Changes — 3 Big Questions


 



We all know that the Internet has revolutionized the greatest wealth transition moving from offline to online to an ecommerce marketplace we all have helped to create. Shouldn’t more people be able to share in the profits?

The Era of the Brand is now bypassed by the Era of the Consumer keenly looking for connection and community.

Do you wonder why some people succeed making money on the internet, some fail, and some never try? Why do some people think like early adaptors, others like pragmatists or conservatives, and a few remain as skeptics?

Is it because people hesitate or procrastinate without any kind of critical thinking analysis? It could be said that their past unconscious thoughts may be sabotaging their mindset against new breakthroughs.

Could this constriction or expansion of thoughts begin with perception of reality that precedes cognition as the understanding process?

Big Question #1: What’s your perception of the transformational changes in the ecommerce environment … past, current or future?

Ecommerce continues rapid growth driven by technological advances, mobile applications and global circumstances. Future marketing leaders have new technology to prioritize customers needs with the emerging consumer economy based on personal connections to the next big thing in ecommerce called Social Commerce.

Social commerce is different from ecommerce.

Ecommerce is a more general term for buying and selling over the internet, whether through a brand’s website, an app, or any other ecommerce platform.

Social commerce is a form of ecommerce that takes place directly on a social media platforms (Facebook, TikTok, Amazon, etc.) Consumers can buy and sell directly as an entire shopping experience, from discovery to payment, a matter of convenience and a personal sense of choice, connection and community.

Social commerce offers new opportunities for people to participate in the global economy as consumers, creators, influencers and sellers that results in a power shift from big to small; thereby, impacting every brand, retailer and platform business.

Big Question #2: How can you challenge your perceptions or beliefs?

Start with this Critical thinking Exercise

Critical thinking is an ability to question … to test previously held assumptions … to examine, interpret, evaluate, reason, and reflect and make informed decisions with justification.

As such, critical thinking can sometimes invigorate your mindset because you may not wish to return to original thinking unless you believe your present situations continue to serve you well.

Here’s the challenge:

Power of Achievement must move beyond Self-belief — who you are and what you know. But knowledge is useless if your unconscious beliefs obstruct you with no tangible reason other than an idea is new.

But do you know why? This was a Big Reveal to me!

Only 5% of the brain’s thoughts are focused on present reality and 95% is based on fixed programming and past behaviors.

Therefore, the biggest part of your success or lack of is based on your subconscious. Your success must be consistent with your unconscious beliefs.

However, this submerged wiring has been set for years. Most of us live our lives within these boundaries and rarely step out to meet a new idea on equal value. Blame it on neural circuitry.

How does your brain react to a new idea?

Do a simple exercise for yourself … draw a large outline of a brain

Now start with a 100 neurons as colored dots as connections making sense of a new idea.

5 Yellow — excited by New Idea

30 Orange — bias + opinion, can’t work, can’t do, know enough

25 Blue — skeptical, sounds strange, don’t need it, what’s the catch?

25 Red — not enough experience, too old, cost too much, too busy

15 Purple — status quo, what will others think, who else?

Just think, 95 neurons will obstruct and defeat a new idea with programmed thinking, conformity and status quo.

Only 5 of those neurons may get excited about the extraordinary potential of Social Commerce.

Only 5 neurons may wonder about how to structure a decentralized marketplace that can level the playing field for millions of individual creators, influencers and resellers who can earn money from a growing user base to reach potential massive markets.

They may not negate that social commerce has a worldwide revenue expected to reach $6.2 trillion by 2030.

Road Map to Groundbreaking Journey in Decentralized Commerce Global Marketplace

 


Ecommerce has shaped the digital landscape as the lifeblood that flows through a massive global marketplace for online business owners and consumers.

However, within a few months, something new is happening … a new infrastructure starting to form around greater cooperation and more personal empowerment for entrepreneurs. Exciting new intersections now appear between vendors, influencers and affiliates where team builders build network marketing partnerships worldwide.

What a timely shopping revolution!

At one time, huge conglomerates dominated the view and traffic flow between large box retailers and colossal marketplaces like Google, TikTok and Facebook where the giant of all giants, Amazon, controlled a retail market cap of $3.1 trillion plus the advertising revenue of $50 billion (2023) in competition with Google and Meta.

Then, recently, Amazon decided to join forces with another giant, TikTok, to streamline shopping between each other. Who could stop these monopolies reinforcing their seamless shopping fortresses without little competition and no incentive to get more efficient?

Here and there, struggling small business owners or entrepreneurs were wandering around trying to discover a niche with less advertising costs and more customers. But how could they stand up to this old Centralized Commerce as monopolized and broken as it was against small businesses to get their share of the marketplace?

In fact, only a DISRUPTION could self-correct… a Groundbreaking Paradigm Shift for the little business person with a Time and Opportunity to rise up to Decentralize Commerce, to break up monopolies and return power to independent small business owners on a fairer level playing field.

And, so it happened, that a new vision appeared on the horizon … a vision inspired by mastermind marketers with leadership, networking, direct sales, manufacturing developments, logistics and billions of dollars of sales over 20 years. They envisioned a company called Shoply with a logo and a website.

Mission: Small Companies and Personal Brands can finally Partner to create a Force more Powerful than the Industry Giants.

Belief: The value of your brand, your voice and your reputation combined with the Shoply Community creates a collective power that can outshine Amazon, Google, Facebook and Tik Tok alike.

They understood that the industry was evolving into a Social Commerce Consumer Economy. The old models no longer worked or not as attractive to go-getters as evidenced by huge legacy companies who were switching from network marketing to straight affiliate models.

They witnessed a changing mindset where customers preferred to shop with likeminded business relationships. In a confusing, oversaturated, overhyped world of products with skeptical origins or ingredients, they wanted the special advantage to search beyond big corporations to buy and sell within their own authentic, trusted communities.

So Shoply set about to create a decentralized commerce global marketplace where Brands, Vendors, Influencers, Affiliates and Customers can come together to unleash their full potential.

Shoply Structure is unlike any other Marketplace:

— create a decentralized platform for vendors to sell their products directly to consumers in a global marketplace

— eliminate middle man

— Vendors can populate their own stores, products and inventory

— Influencers connect for sponsored contents and collaboration

— Affiliates can earn money by promoting vendor products

Shoply wants stability and longevity in a place where customers, affiliates, influencers, networkers, and vendors all coexist in synergy.

It also wants to capitalize on this live social commerce market that is projected to hit $1.2 trillion in 2025!

And, so it’s happening that gradually the ecommerce begins to look differently as new waves of social commerce welcome new innovative confident entrepreneurs.

Now, a special confluence appears where a networker can be an affiliate marketer, a social influencer, a team builder and a business developer in a global marketplace.

Interestingly, networkers can pick any brand they want to run with…maybe it’s nutrition, cosmetics, supplements, clothing, coffee, frequency, new age products, weight loss and the list goes on. Why face another launch? Why be committed to just one brand or one company all your life?

They can build teams and join forces in both the influencers’ and affiliate marketers’ worlds. What’s never been done before is to be paid off every affiliate that’s coming in off a one-time sale.

Now look at the vendors empowered to sell their physical or digital products with their own rules, not as dictated. They pay 100% of the direct bonus to their affiliates only when a sale is made, lowering their advertising costs.

Micro or social influencers have plenty of products to sell and make direct bonuses from vendors. To be the most effective Shoply Influencers, they have free content on how to best use AI and social media to build their brand from the biggest and best names in online marketing.

Watch Pro Influencers develop international teams, looking for qualified vendors to receive a lifetime royalty from their global sales. Comprehensive training is provided by top digital social professionals.

Look at the Affiliates with unlimited access to offers and promotions on Shoply earning 100% of direct bonus with ongoing customer attribution to earn from customers who return to the platform .

Look at the single mom or senior citizen who wants a side gig to make some extra income starting as an affiliate. Free to join with $9.99 monthly subscription

There is a happy buzz that welcomes all Online Marketers … MLM, Direct Sales, Affiliates, Content Creators, Vendors and Influencers to check out their potential to make money in this decentralized global marketplace.

The atmosphere is alive in this ecosystem filled with unlimited offers, unlimited direct bonuses and unlimited income as a hybrid marketing community of networkers building teams and influencers and affiliate marketers working as partnerships never seen before.

No online business opportunity has done it this way before.

Shoply’s incentive plan is described as a true hybrid where a networker can build a team with auto shipments of different products as well as get paid off every affiliate that comes in off a onetime sale.

Commission structures are based on personal organizational volume, marketplace commissions and a global marketplace pool.

Currently, Shoply is actively seeking affiliates and influencers to promote exceptional health and beauty products from new vendor partners!

How do you plan on getting your share?

The e-commerce industry is set to reach a staggering 7 trillion by 2025!
Such explosive growth presents countless opportunities to have a position at the forefront of this social commerce revolution.

Look at State of Social Commerce re Future of New Decentralized Marketplace…Who’s Joining?


Why are TikTok and Amazon Joining Forces? 

E-commerce Will Never Be the Same!

Internet Marketing is facing seismic changes because of social commerce. On one hand, the giants continue treading the landscape with even more colossal footprints to reap their sizeable rewards.

But, on the other hand, there is a resurgence and opportunity for small business owners and entrepreneurs to find some equal footing to follow their plans outside the shadows of centralized powermongers.

In fact, the rise of social media emphasizes how people like the shared popularity of shopping on social apps such as Facebook and TikTok or Temu and Shein. It is expected that the value of social commerce in the U.S. is expected to reach nearly $80 billion by 2025 ($700 billion globally).

In fact, so much growth has motivated the two largest online shopping companies to join forces. But on the other hand, there is a new game in town with a defensive movement to stop squeezing out the vendors, the influencers or the ability of small business owners to make money.

The Era of the Brand is now bypassed by the Era of the Consumer keenly looking for connection and community.

This growth of social commerce is fueled by dependency on a seamless shopping experience without too many clicks or jumps across multiple platforms to browse and shop to make a purchase.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have integrated shopping features that allow consumers to browse and purchase products directly within the apps.

Facebook leads with an expected 64.6 million social commerce buyers in 2024, followed by Instagram with 46.8 million buyers.

eMarketer anticipates TikTok will grow to 117.9 million users by 2025. In 2024, 35.8 million of those users were social buyers outperforming Instagram and Facebooks growth rate.

WHAT’S UP? Recent Partnership of Two Online Giants!

TikTok and Amazon have integrated to increase the influence of social commerce and new opportunities for advertisers.

TikTok users will be able to discover and purchase products directly from Amazon without leaving the Tik Tok environment. They can link their Tik Tok and Amazon accounts through a secure, one-time setup.

Once linked, users can complete their purchases within Tik Tok, accessing real-time pricing, Prime eligibility, delivery estimates, and product details and watch Feed recommendations.

This integration allows brands to run Amazon ads directly on TikTok, providing full attribution and potentially increasing the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. This could lead to new opportunities for brands to reach and engage with their target audiences more effectively.

In fact, Amazon is a monolith with powers rooted deeply into various social media platforms. Their goal is set to be ultra competitive within the evolving social commerce and maintain its dominance especially with younger customers. Recently, it partnered with Pinterest, Meta, and Snapchat.

They will continue to figure out Facebook ad costs, set a budget or schedule an auction system with daily promotions or one fixed budget for an entire campaign. And what does it mean that Meta may spend up to 25% over your daily promotional budget to maximize advertisement costs?

How much does TikTok take as an advertising override?

In fact, this amalgamated Monopoly will continue to be a Supersize Deal for Corporate Giants, Inhouse Marketing Budgets and a Viral Platform of Overcompetitive Centralized Social Commerce.

Do You Think that Social Commerce Needs a Disruption to Level the Playing Field?

In fact, there needs to a DISRUPTION…a Groundbreaking Paradigm Shift for the little business person. There must be a Time and Opportunity to rise up to Decentralize Commerce, meaning to break up monopolies and return power to independent entrepreneurs or small business owners.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF SHOPLY? …and why you should as an entrepreneur or consumer…

In fact, Shoply is a new company in prelaunch with a leadership team backed by a billion dollar values driven company who saw the worsening rigged problem and are effectively creating a marketplace platform where the entrepreneurs can control the terms of selling and build their own team of Influencers and Affiliates on a single channel worldwide.

This Decentralized Marketplace simplifies choosing between retail stores, online platforms, affiliate programs, and direct sellers by removing the middleman.

A Shoply Community is where brands, vendors, influencers come together to discover, discuss, shop and sell, including small business partnerships. Best online training with top level coaches from beginner to advanced is provided to scale each business.

Businesses will create the right incentives for users to drive their own best experience within a dynamic ecosystem of platforms, marketplaces, social media, resellers, creators, influencers and affiliates.

Such collective power can challenge the huge centralized industry giants with unique collaboration and success to redefine a broken system.
