One of the main benefits from setting up a blog is gaining exposure.
A blog not only gives your business a personal touch and a frequently updated content, but it also allows you to promote a particular product like you couldn’t before.
As off that, you can make money blogging by advertising affiliate products within your blog, so I’ve came today with three very simple steps that doubled my sales.
If it’s hard to sell something physically, multiply it for 5 and you’ll get how hard is to sell online.
But you can use some easy tips that will increase your sales, guaranteed. Those tips are so easy and obvious that people just don’t think about and fail to apply.
The image below shows a screenshot from my paypal account getting money from advertising products both here on my blog and advertising somewhere else a single product (using cpc and even ptc sites might be a good idea) , so advertising more could bring you even more possibilities
So the first thing you need to know is that people don’t like to spend money (obvious) so you need to offer something more than just a single product. And that’s the first tip.
Tips to increase your sales
1)Â Â Â Â Â Offer: Offering something apart from the product is a great way to increase your sales. You could offer a discount (20% discount if you buy it), you could also give a free pdf report about something related to that product.
You can also give away another product, a 2×1. You only need to make calculations so you never lose money.
Some people have problems giving away a discount because they don’t see any options on their sales page. It’s very simple. You just need to check / ask for the email address used to process the payment and send back the amount dealt.
2)     Targeted ads: Don’t just get a product and buy ads to promote it. Research first, action second.
You need to take into consideration every factor, such as age (VERY important, as guys below age 18 won’t have a credit card so the possibility to get a sale goes down), sex, location…
You just need to set up a filter and you’re set.
3)     Cheap products: As I said before, people don’t like to spend money, and if they have to, they’ll go for the cheapest product.
If the price for the product A goes down and the price from the product B stays the same, the demand from the product A will increase compared to the demand for the product B, which will eventually go down. Economy 101.
If you have a product that’s inevitably expensive because of its quality, just go to the first point of this post and offer a discount.
4)     Bonus – Giving proofs or even a review will have a great impact on your sales rate. When a customer doesn’t buy a product is either because it doesn’t have the money to buy it or because lack of trustfulness.
Showing some proofs about the benefits about using / buying the product will increase your sales rate.
The most hard part about selling a product and succeed is the research. It’s a long process that will take you a lot of time, but here, time is money.
Avoiding risks by setting targeted ads is equal to avoid throwing money.
Thanks for reading.
