How to Sell Online - Best Way, Best Training

I may not know anything in particular about what products or services you’re interested in selling. But what I do know is how to sell online. I’ve been doing it for over 14 years now and I’ve been helping people for the last 7 years create and grow businesses online. In this post, I’ll show you where I got my training to sell online on my own website and with eCommerce.

Selling Online is Easier

Actually, most things are far easier to sell online than in a store or shop. When people stroll through a store or a shop or a mall, they are not usually in a buying state of mind. More often, they’re just tire-kickers, and that makes an actual sale much harder to close. Whereas online, you can attract people who are actually READY TO BUY.

What if you could cut out the middle man and connect with an ENGAGED audience that already has their credit card out and are ready to buy? You can. That’s what the internet does for you – lets you find and get to those people. And I’m going to show you how!

OK, So How Do You Sell Online?

If you want to sell your products or services online, I can offer three simple steps to get the exposure you’ll need.

3 Simple Steps for Selling Online

Step 1: Give Your Product a Home. The first thing you need is a website. This is not just for your products, it is also to allow you to engage with your potential customers, to talk about your products and build yourself as an authority online.

You can get free, step-by-step video training on how to build a fantastic website at WealthyAffiliate.com. They are a free affiliate marketing training website that offers more than free classes on how to create a website, how to get customers, and how to sell online. I signed up with them in 2015, and I’ve built several websites using their training (you’re on a website I built right now). You can sign up for a Free Starter Account and start training RIGHT AWAY by clicking HERE.

Step 2: Get Traffic. You could have the best products in the world, but without getting real people to see them, you have no chance of selling anything. Without traffic (people), you have no business. So the very first thing you should do after you have your website is to get yourself training on how to get traffic online. (Wealthy Affiliate teaches this step-by-step here).

Statistic Alert: There are 2 BILLION people online. That is a lot of people and that is the volume of customers you have available to you online.

If you already have a website for your business and you just want the training on how to get traffic, you can sign up with Wealthy Affiliate, skip the training about how to set up a website, and go directly to the getting-traffic training.

Step 3: Keep Building Your Online Business. Imagine having 1,000’s of experts, available to you night or day, to answer any questions you may have about promoting your business or getting more exposure. That’s exactly what we have in Wealthy Affiliate. Any time I’ve ever had a question, I’ve put it out to the Wealthy Community and I have help within MINUTES.
