HOW TO SELL EFFORTLESSLY ONLINE

Don’t let the simple concept of a first sale mislead you. Obtaining that first customer can sometimes be a long, arduous battle.

Or maybe you just want a few extra bucks in your back pocket.

Perhaps you have dreams of quitting the rat-race to start your own online, eBay or Amazon business (which obviously involves waking up at 10am, working in your pajamas, taking long weekends whenever you like, and answering to nobody because you’re the boss

Whatever your reason for wanting to start selling online, eCommerce offers huge opportunities for anyone with an internet connection.

Of all the ways of making money online, it’s perhaps one of the easiest to understand and get started with.

The big mistake that is often made when starting an online business of any kind is not building a business around a strategy. So to avoid this, you first must design a business strategy which will allow you to take the appropriate actions which will lead to success.

Say, for example, you are selling yoga mats. What a typical seller would do is to go crazy on all social media and spend money on marketing in the hopes that someone would buy. This strategy may work for some, but it’s often not a wise long term strategy. So what do you do if you are selling online but do not have the funds to market all the time to spend hours on social media?

What you would need to do is to design a different strategy, which is just as effective. This could be creating video content on YouTube, for instance.

One added benefit is that once you have uploaded the video, you can receive views 24/7 without any additional work (if you want to build your channel, you will need to do continuous work).

The second benefit is that if you grow your channel, you can also receive an income from Google ads, this is just one of the other streams of income…

Social media is an excellent platform for the Philippines as the majority of Filipinos use social media every single day. You can also sign up to groups and promote live videos, which can help you sell certain items but again, this needs to be suitable for your audience.
