Reselling imported products from China, starting a business at the age of 17, failing miserably in three startups – all these may not sound so interesting. But what if you found out that these events made up the building blocks of a Forbes Business Council member? He is now the co-founder of a digital marketing company that makes six figures every month. And that person is Reeve Yew.
His stint at reselling Chinese products started at the age of 15. He wanted to make enough money so that he could start his own business. At such an early age, he managed to earn $2,500 per month. Despite earning a sizable income as a teen, he knew that he wanted to do so much more than reselling products online. Strategizing for business development and digital marketing were two of his biggest passions.
The Story of Funnel Duo Media
It took Reeve two more years to start his own business. But it was a major flop. He went on to invest in two more startups but they failed miserably as well. Reeve lost nearly $80,000 on these business ventures. He realized that his biggest mistake was failing to recognize the importance of marketing.
This was a learning experience for him. He discovered that marketing your products is just as essential as their quality. It doesn’t matter if you offer excellent products or services if nobody knows they exist.
During the early stages of his entrepreneurial career, Reeve wasn’t able to sell his services because of his lack of marketing knowledge. But after taking up Business Management and learning about digital marketing, he had a better grasp on how to sell his services.
His hard work paid off and Reeve found himself working with international clients when he was still at university. This was an unparalleled learning opportunity for Reeve as he gained the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs from different industries, explore more business strategies, and expand his marketing knowledge.
He soon got a sponsorship from Apple to attend the Worldwide Developer Conference. His rise to fame also landed him a featured article published in the London Evening Standard Newspaper after creating a smart AI GPS app.
Reeve then co-founded Funnel Duo Media with his brother, Jackson Yew. Thanks to his past experiences, Reeve was able to take a more comprehensive approach to give the company the best shot at succeeding.
As the face of the company, he talked to all his clients and asked for their feedback. He’d always find weak points in the company and come up with a strategy to make them more efficient. Each month, they’ve been able to grow their customer base because of their dedication to providing the highest quality services. Reeve and his brother attracted clients from the USA, UK, and Australia, some of whom Reeve has been working with since his university days.
Growth of Funnel Duo Media
The continuous growth of Funnel Duo Media led Reeve to become one of the members of Forbes Business Council. He now speaks on both online and offline platforms to share his success story as well as his ideas and strategies on how to develop a digital empire brick by brick. In one event, he had the opportunity to speak on the same stage as Gary Vaynerchuk, Mark Joyner, Kevin Harrington, and Brian Tracy, some of the most respected internet marketers in the world.
It was Reeve’s determination to take Funnel Duo Media to the top that helped the company generate 6 figures in monthly revenue consistently. And the company is just getting started. Reeve now plans to expand their services and stay on top of all the latest trends in digital marketing.
