I was never popular in high school.
99% of my peers were idiots (or so I thought) and I was rarely interested in socializing. My best friends – who were the cool ones, of course! – went to a different high school, unfortunately. So I only saw them on weekends or week nights.
While my high school peers were busy doing drugs or drinking themselves into oblivion…I was usually at home reading books, writing essays, or analyzing product catalogues and junk mail that got sent to our mail box. (Exciting!)
In between volleyball and tennis practice, that’s all I did…was read and write!
I guess years of studying ads and marketing pieces led me to understand the successful structure and “secret ingredients” of what gets people buying products (or not).
This knowledge got downloaded into my brain.
Everywhere I looked, I could see where and how products could be sold more easily… especially CONSUMABLE products that are purchased over and over again.
With the advent of the internet, it became infinitely easier for people to buy products online… and even easier for home-based businesses to sell them.
Today I help home business owners increase their online sales.
After analyzing hundreds of online store pages and shopping carts over the years, I’ve discovered the 12 most common — and costly — mistakes that KILL online sales.
Follow the advice, and watch your sales increase.
In my experience, the worst-performing home businesses (those who are struggling badly with sales) are usually making at least 1 or more of these mistakes.
Meanwhile, my top-performing clients aren’t making ANY of these mistakes… cause they’ve taken my simple advice on fixing them.
I may not be “popular” even today…but I know how to skyrocket someone’s online sales. I’ll take that over popularity any day!
Talk soon,
Michelle
