You’re not making anywhere near the level of course sales that you could be.

It doesn’t matter if you have the cheapest price point, or the largest number of lectures.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve hired a professional copywriter, and paid them tens of thousands of dollars to build your landing pages.

It doesn’t even matter that you have the absolute best course on the market right now.

You’re not making anywhere near the level of course sales that you could be.

And that’s okay. But I want to help you change that.

When you’re just starting out online, getting initial sales can be tough.

You don’t have the data you need to optimize your sales pages. Even worse, that data seems so far out of reach because you’re hardly making any sales.

Listen – your product may be a great value, it may eventually go on to become a best seller without any changes at all from you.

The problem right now may simply be that the person doesn’t trust you. Not only that, but even though their heart is looking for reasons to buy, their brain is instilling fear, doubt, and uncertainty in them.

Ultimately, a lack of trust kills conversions even more quickly than a high price does.

Remember – when people feel that your product is more valuable than what you’re asking for it, and they trust your company enough that you’ll deliver on that value, they will buy.

It all comes down to that.

In this article, let’s look over how you can begin building that critical, initial trust for your website. These methods are the same regardless of whether you’re a blogger, eCommerce store owner, course creator, book author, or anyone else selling physical and digital products online.

What Starting An eCommerce Business Taught Me About Blogging

I have a confession to make.

Over the last 6 months, I have started another company. I’ve been working on it, building it up, and expanding it. And in that 6 months, it’s truly taken off and is quickly becoming something amazing.

And I’ve got to be honest, it has grown a lot quicker than I had ever expected it to.

Starting out with just a few thousand dollars, our main branch is projected to do around a million dollars in sales this year.

This does not even include our new venture – an entirely new brand we’re launching that is going to one day dominate the industry we’re working in.

Unfortunately I can’t talk too much about that right now due to agreements I have in place, however, I have been named CEO and I assure you that one day you’ll hear all about it.

Anyway, running this new business and launching this new brand has shifted my perspective about blogging, and has truly taught me a lot about this profession we all know and love. I’d like to share with you some of the lessons I’ve learned, which I believe can make us all better bloggers, marketers, and entrepreneurs.

Dealing With Refunds – How Should You Go About It?

Let’s talk about one of the most dreading things in internet marketing – refunds.

If you are selling lots of products, refund requests become increasing frequent. Quite frankly, they are inevitable. Even if the products you put out are of extremely high quality, you will still get refund requests for one reason or another.

Sometimes, the product just isn’t right for them.

Sometimes, the purchase wasn’t intended.

And sometimes people just want to steal your work and then get their money back.

Whatever the reason, the result is almost always the same – you end up with less money at the end of the day. However, refunds are not something you should spend a lot of time worrying about, because they can be delt with quite easily. Here is how I personally deal with refund requests, and what I’d recommend you do as well.
