[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.9″ text_text_color=”#3a3a3a” text_font_size=”17px”]To keep my sales going through during the second half of the year, I plan on doing a few key things:<\/p>\n
(NOTE: Several of these things are repeats from my other review posts. But they\u2019re evergreen tactics to generate more sales and traffic.)<\/p>\n
1. Send more products to FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon).<\/p>\n
Every product of mine that\u2019s in FBA is one that I don\u2019t need to worry about fulfilling later. And while you don\u2019t\u00a0need\u00a0<\/em>to have products in FBA to succeed with LHS, it does boost your conversions, as customers love purchasing items with the \u201cPrime\u201d label.<\/p>\n 2. Come up with more designs.<\/p>\n This is the number one thing I say to anyone who wants to get more\u00a0LHS<\/a>\u00a0sales. It\u2019s a number\u2019s game \u2013 the more designs you make, the more sales you\u2019ll earn.<\/p>\n 3. Create more products.<\/p>\n I want to experiments with selling different types of products, especially\u00a0Christmas ornaments<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0journals<\/a>.<\/p>\n 4. Look for more possible great niches using\u00a0SpotNiches<\/a>.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t say enough good things about this tool. SpotNiches lets you know what customers are hungry for but isn\u2019t necessarily available to them yet. This gives you the opportunity to create products that fill this gap and make easy sales.<\/p>\n 5. Double down on Etsy.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got some Etsy case studies that I want to implement for my Etsy store challenge to try and get more sales there.<\/p>\n \u2026Those are my 5 big action steps for the rest of 2020.<\/p>\n And because I\u2019ve designed my\u00a0Jumpstart program to incorporate all of the most important elements in getting sales, each one of these is covered in my\u00a0Done For You Jumpstart<\/a>\u00a0program.<\/p>\n And speaking of which\u2026 [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.9″ text_text_color=”#3a3a3a” text_font_size=”17px” hover_enabled=”0″]You can check out my incredible\u00a0Jumpstart Coaching Program<\/a>.
