What you really need to know about e-commerce .
We are going to to be chatting about the ins and outs of commerce marketing.
As a matter a fact I am also going to give you some bonus tips .
Marketers will play you if you allow them to .
Some of them get you in their funnel and do nothing but upsell without any thoughts or consideration .
I Watch People get excited about e-commerce . The wave of money being made gets people excited.
The sad part about this is that these very same people quit with in weeks .
Some of them invest money into solo ads , landing pages , nice website theme ,new products.
There are vultures in the cyber world willing to eat your money .
And The reason why they take advantage of you is because you are wet behind the ears and People sense your vulnerabilities and use them against you.
When The mighty dollar is on your mind things get hectic.
I know it’s not easy watching others make money while you struggle .
Every one goes through a stage of building and failing .
Affiliate marketers like to use their earnings to entice you .
After you pay for their program it is hard get a refund unless you have a contractual agreement or get the Federal Trade Commission involved .
And that doesn’t guarantee you justice .
Now to my question.
Is there a market for e-commerce ?
why are established affiliate marketers afraid of telling the truth ?
1 Loss of sales
2 eager to sell
Most affiliates including myself want your money.The difference is that there some of us willing to post pone selling until value and understanding become known .
If You Become fixated on the mighty dollar then off course you will sell at all costs.
Eccomerce people and those of you sitting on the fence need clarity.
At this point in time you are getting the inspiration to buy in but your not getting the knowledge. A reputation and relationship is worth more than the dollar .
It is easy for you to buy into my methodologies especially seeing I have gotten results.
Heck Even If I did lie you wouldn’t figure it out right away .
For example ;I sell you my marketing course and you do not get the results I promised .
It could come down to 2 things
1 My coaching
2 You
This is where things get ugly now because you was hoping to set up a website and start making sales .
You can do it however If I mislead you you will end up facing hurdles that could have been avoided had I prepared you .
Your team leader (upline ) Is partly responsible for you.
A lot “team leaders ” don’t want to take responsibility when things go south .
Being truthful upfront will save your reputation .
Your reputation matters the most .
You might get away selling people pipe dreams but when shit hits the fan your going to feel the brunt of it .
To make a long story short I am going to lay down the guidelines to help get you some traction playing the commerce game .
And If you are impressed after reading this post we can arrange a time so that I can consult and help your brand .
Please note I am not claiming to be an expert .
On to my question .
Why do influencers feel that they can make bold promises ?
In reality people gravitate towards authority figures .
Some people trust the words of influencers more than their own judgement .
And that is where people like you and me go wrong .
We buy into their programs then get upset when we don’t get results .
We think we can emulate their success.
Out of excitement and ignorance and blind loyalty we can wound up burnt .
I am not a shame to say that I have brought into scams .
The promise of money entices you .
Being uninformed is the most dangerous thing period .
It’s very expensive going in without a drop of knowledge because you leave yourself vulnerable .
Let’s Dive In To My Eccomerce Tips
Searchengine optimization
Search is not the only thing that drives traffic to your website but it is needed in the eccomerce business if you want traffic .
Don’t need a fancy website
You don’t need an expensive website to get started .Get your self a domain name, get yourself a site made on fiver or another source you can afford.
Produce Content
Without content you will not make money in the long run . Majority of the online shoppers search and read before buying .
Don’t focus on others making sales
Remember I talked to you about money earlier right .If you focus on the results others are getting you will get discouraged .
Making money is a Marathon .Think long-term
Establish yourself
Get active on as many platforms as possible to help spread awareness about your brand .
You need to be showing people that you have value and solutions.
And if you are considering starting a e-commerce website pre promote yourself .Don’t Waite until the eve of your launch .
Build awareness first
Awareness is a form of advertisement. .Some people start online websites to post pictures of products and write product descriptions and think people are supposed to buy automatically.
Things do not work that way in this day and time .
Before you buy product and services conduct an investigation to avoid heart ache .
Don’t worry about coding
Coding is a business in of itself .There is no way you can focus on eccomerce and coding .
Yes you can make money coding but coding does not help you to convert website visitors in customers.
Products Are secondary
Place your emphasis upon the desires and the needs of your audience .No one is going to buy your products if they don’t feel comfortable with you .
People are standoffish .The upfront work is necessary if you desire to make sales on the back end .
Research your products and know what item or items you want to promote but make sure you put the value out in the market.
Is e-commerce for me ?
I personally do not have a e-commerce website but you can generate income if you are value and people orientated .
Most people get discouraged and burnt out for two reasons
1 They have been brutally mis-informed
2 They want to get rich overnight
3 Clueless
You don’t have to feel bad if you are Un aware , I sure as hell don’t know much but I apply myself.
Right now I am giving you the medicine .The information which I am giving you right now is bitter But I am saving you in the long run .
Don your research
You have to get In the habit of doing research and development in order to help grow your sales .
Do your homework on your existing customers and ideal prospects .
Tap into emotions
Some people buy on impulse some people take a while to warm up .
The one thing that we all have in common is “emotions”
We might not have the same emotions however emotions cause people to think and feel a certein way .
Study peoples behavior patterns and figure out what triggers them.
That is something I am learning myself .
.
What is the most important component in eccomerce business ?
Definitely not your products and services .
Things like
- customers
- Delivering
- following up
- closing
- reputation
- Brand authority
- communication
Reputation is at the top of the list .
- Products
- Discount
I think you have been mis-lead into thinking e-commerce is easy .
A lot of these people selling you online dreams are not selling you the reality.
There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to build a success online shop .
People are like they are afraid to telling you the truth .
For some reason they think they will lose the lead or sale but so what .
I care more about the lesson than I do the sale hence why my attitude (outlook ) is the way it is .
In reality there are definitely a combination of things that contribute to the success of business .
We live in a time and age that demands companies to produce content either micro or macro .
Products Are not the most important element in business operations because if that was the case every body would be making money selling merchandise .
This is the problem that I see with e-commerce marketers .
They have been conditioned to research good products add good description .
In A Fantasy world that Would be true but in reality it doesn’t happen that way .
I know your coach is telling you product listings and descriptions and photography is important but that is not the case .
You have been lied to and bamboozled .
To build a successful e-commerce brand you have to win over the trust of the people .
Like who are you and why should I buy your products .
Those are some of the things you the retailer or wholesaler should ask yourself .
How am I Going To Provide Value To People .
Let me tell you something you might not have been told .
Majority Of THE Search engine traffic reads a blog before buying a single item.
So if you are not being found on search you are out of the game because word of mouth does not spread no where as fast as search traffic .
Conclusion
There is no sense rushing in with out the basic knowledge. Think longterm and you will win.
