In closing here is a list of tips on how to sell your products:

  • Always provide a picture (would you buy something you hadn't seen?).
  • Take the time to take a GOOD picture from appropriate angles and with good lighting.
  • Seek out tutorials on how to present information for sales and advertising.
  • Use text formatting to grab the user's eye -bold titles, smaller sub titles and then details. This creates a hierarchy of information on the page that is easy to follow. People read titles first.
  • Invest time and energy in writing an effective sales pitch and titles.
  • Avoid using too much text. A user can only take so much in before they make a decision as to whether they will stay or move on.
  • A text heavy page is a drag to read and most people on the internet will leave it behind.
  • If you can, back-up your products with a website. Having a website is one step loser to having the brick and mortar space that people trust. In other words it adds to your credibility.
  • Always answer your customers emails in a friendly and timely fashion but try to keep it short so you don't get overwhelmed. Your customers can comment on you as a seller for other customers to see so practice good communication and honesty.
