10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales

10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales

1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a "thank you" email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up every few months.

2. You could upsell to your customers. When they're at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.

3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales.

4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made.

5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products.

You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product.

6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you.

7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will attract them to buy more products from you.

8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons.

9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.

10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order.

Africa’s richest man and Chairman, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has resigned from the board of Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc, formerly known as Dangote Flour Mills.

MAKE MONEY BLOGGING

I have a confession to make. 


Since I started this series on blogging and making money online, I've got a lot of emails from people who are excited to learn about blogging, make money online and they want to do it quick.

You see, reading between the lines, I had a feeling that maybe I haven't told you the FULL TRUTH!

So, pay close attention to what I have to say below….

BLOGGING DOES NOT MAKE MONEY!

I mean, 99% of bloggers don't make money.

In most cases it is because they thought having a blog and posting random articles will make them money.

Snap out of that lazy thinking mode for a second and let's talk about basic economics.

Money will exchange hands when you Sell something that someone is willing to buy!

That is just a simple foundational principle of running any venture/ business.

You get hired for work because you are selling a set of skills and knowledge that your employer is willing to pay for.

Blogging is no different.

As long as you are not Selling anything, you will not make a dime or a Kobo!

There's a variety of things you can sell, and I got this mind-map from problogger that shows you the many possibilities of making money from blogging.

Here's what blogging gives you…

BLOGGING MAKES YOU AN AUTHORITY IN YOUR CHOSEN NICHE!

When you become a recognized authority, opportunities to sell will start showing up. You can start selling

Ad Space – Because you have a lot of traffic coming to your blog that some companies wants to reach.
Products – That you created yourself
Products – That other people created and you get a commission

Plus many more…

In a few days, I will give you a chance to join my next blog setup coaching paid program, but before I open up registration, I want to help you make money this week, even without a blog!
