7 Things No One Will Tell You Before You Start Selling

1. You think you know the market. You don't.

If you try to guess what people will buy, you will fail.

What you think "should" trend, is most likely what people don't care about.

2. You can sell anything, as long as people want it.

Now, how do you know what people want?

How do you avoid making $50 only on a product you worked on for 2 months?

By doing market research.

This may take some time, but if you have a blueprint, it won't.
3. If you don't know your competitors, you won't sell.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel with your product.

If you don't know what already exists and how your competitors market products, you can't sell.

This is part of market research (get the blueprint ⏫⏫)
4. A good copy guarantees sales by 97%

Even if you do market research and have the best product, you may not sell anything.

How you market your product matters.

This is where copywriting comes in.

Use fantastic headlines, write persuasively, craft irresistible offers.
5. Sell the outcome, not the process

People won't buy a plane ticket to the Maldives if you told them they would spend 2 days on air.

But, they would if you show them beautiful scenery and everything they would enjoy there.

Apply this to your product.
6. You won't see 10,000 sales overnight

Many people get disappointed and quit selling when they've not started

Yo!

If you're not a big brand that has built anticipation for the product release

You won't be making all your sales in 1 night

So, be patient

Enjoy the process.
7. Stack those reviews as you sell

People like to see results.

People want to see others who have tried the product/service.

They will rather buy a product with 10,000 4.6-stars than that with 10 5-stars.

Don't let your customers slip by.

Collect those reviews.
In summary:

- Don't guess what people will buy

- Research well before stepping out.

- Know your major competitors.

- Write great copy to sell.

- Show them the benefits of your product/ service.

- Gather reviews.

- Be patient and enjoy the process
