Happy holidays!!
As 2022 comes to a close, I thought I would provide you with an AltHealth.Me Year in Review.
Version 1 of AltHealth was launched in early January 2022. We initially launched with a social media platform and added a marketplace 6 months into our journey.
What you see today is the result of almost 12 months of work by our small, but committed team, which is approaching 20 people as we close out the year.
Here are some of the highlights and milestones we achieved this year:
1. We have 18 Channels up and running. Most of them are represented by Channel Champions, our entrepreneurial leaders who are helping us build their Channel. We now have 13 Channel Champions representing the following Channels:
- Diabetes
- Lyme Disease
- Veterans’ Health
- Gut Health
- Yoga
- Environmental Health
- Mental Health
- Nutrition
- Work from Home Health
- Runners’ Health
- Travellers’ Health
- Pain Management
- Women’s Health
We are still looking for Channel Champions for the following Channels:
- Anti Aging
- Men's Health
- Reproductive Health
- Addiction
- Weight Loss
- And many more
Our goal is to have 30 Channels and 30 Channel Champions. Let me know if you know of someone who would be a good candidate to be a Channel Champion.
2. In June we launched our Marketplace. At this point, we have almost 1,000 skus available for sale in our US Marketplace. We are adding additional products and services daily. Our early focus has been on fitness related products and services, but we are expanding our offerings to include products and services of relevance to all of our Channels. The launch of our Canadian Marketplace has been delayed as we focus initially on the US market due to its significantly larger size. Check out our Marketplace. It is open for business!
3. In the 4th Quarter, we introduced our AltHealth My Shop program. We offer free ecommerce stores to influencers which they can customize with their brand and curate products and services from our Marketplace. Here is a demo store for your information - https://us.althealth.me/shop/[email protected]/?tid=. Because of our large selection of fitness related products, we are targeting fitness influencers in our outreach efforts. Let me know if you know any influencers who could benefit from an ecommerce store to augment their business.
4. Our existing website has served us well, providing us with an MVP version to launch and learn from the business. We are in the process of taking these learnings and expect to launch a version 2 of our website in the 1st Quarter of 2023. Our objective is to provide a safe place for people to find support and solutions for their health and wellness needs. We want to provide a user-friendly experience which allows our users to easily find the content, people and products that they are looking for. You can expect to see a greater integration of content and solutions in the redesign.
Our vision for AltHealth is based upon community driven growth and leadership. You might be asking yourself how you can get involved and help us build out our vision. Here are few suggestions:
- Join AltHealth - Register as a Coseller on ShopType (AltHealth is powered by ShopType) by following this link - https://app.shoptype.com/users/signup?rid=639b8b1b4b4d8b8d0e5bcb51. Use the same credentials to login to AltHealth.Me.
- As a member of our community, you can post content on any of our Channels and can share content from AltHealth to your other social media channels. We would love it if you did this. It will help us expand our reach and grow our audience. In addition, if someone follows your post and buys anything on AltHealth, you will be entitled to all or part of the commission being offered by vendors on the Marketplace. We call this Coselling, a simple and natural way to monetize your contribution to building AltHealth.
- Please suggest any products and services which you think we should be offering on our Marketplace. Vendors can list their products for free on AltHealth. They set the price and the commission being offered. There is no cost other than the commission payable out of the purchase price when a sale is made.
- We continue to recruit Channel Champions. Please refer us to anyone you know who is entrepreneurial, social media savvy and wants to “do good, while doing well”. We’re looking for people who want to help us build their Channel into a $5 million business.
- Help us find influencers who would benefit from having an AltHealth My Shop ecommerce store. Initially we want to meet fitness influencers. However, ultimately we want to get to know any influencer with over 20,000 followers and who is interested in adding ecommerce capability to their content - for free!
Thank you to Jorge Boero, our Director of Operations, who is responsible for much of the growth that AltHealth has experienced this year
All the best to you and your family for the holiday season and for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023!
