A few years ago, when Kevin from Key to Success first talked about how important selling through an online channel was for his company, my mind wasn’t completely bought in. I was very focused on developing the core business by providing content for the blogs I wrote and working on improving our social media profiles. But over time, I saw the value in putting your products into direct contact with your customers, and soon after made the move to sell all of my books through Amazon’s MTurk platform.
Since then, I have never looked back. The year 2017 showed me that becoming an independent author is possible, and it provides you with access to a wide audience who is using their mobile devices to look for content. Most importantly, being an independently published writer gives you control over your work and your authorship.
I took several lessons from watching others promote themselves as writers and editors, including:
Shipping matters
With so many delivery options these days, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. Here are some considerations :
Cost: How much does this cost? Are there any hidden fees? Does it include things like postage, packaging, etc.?
Service: Which companies offer best services? Do they provide fast deliveries? Do they respond to emails quickly? Or do they make you wait on hold while they help other people too? Are they patient with you if you have questions?
Timing: Give them a call or email and ask what times of day they handle delays or errors the most. You want to stay within a trusted zone and be consistent throughout the day.
Results: Did you know that you can raise your sales by up to 90 percent today? That’s why you should choose quality content that will improve the results you get from marketing.
You also need to understand that results may vary since each individual grows differently. One person could write a paragraph based on the following topic and bullet point.
Topic: Productivity Hacks To Love Or Loathe
Bullet point: Break down barriers to enter production
Paragraph: Technology is increasingly taking the place of humans in the workplace. Computer systems are now capable of performing menial tasks more efficiently than humans can perform them. Though we are still good at managing the office, here are some ways technology can better human employees:\

Automation has not only increased efficiency, but has also improved accuracy. Studies show that automation improves outcomes rather than having a negative effect on productivity. This increases employee satisfaction because problems are resolved faster, and individuals are given opportunities to grow their skills set.
Some refer to automating processes as “going virtual”; however, automation actually takes place behind the scenes, so users don’t notice any differences in performance. It’s easier to implement when offices are less populated and financial requirements allow it.\
There are many ways to send an order online, and most consumers prefer this option because they do not have to gather any information or look through any lists of goods.
Rather than relying on your good fortune (or other people’s bad timing), you can create a shipping plan and schedule it so that orders will arrive at their destination within a certain amount of time.
By having each customer sign in before entering their shipping details, these services then become more useful since customers can track their package.
They also offer confirmation emails when packages have been sent, including which carrier the shipment used, as well as a tracking number.
These help with accountability, too, in case there is a problem with delivery.
There are many web-based price tracking systems to help you keep track of your shipping costs, have you forgotten about fees (like delivery fees)?
Don’t worry, we all get caught up in buying things for our houses and paying taxes on them!
There are apps that will help you find the best deal when you buy something. These tools can also tell you where your shipment is going, which city or country it comes from, and what other shipments were like it, plus any reviews they may have.
These are great ways to compare prices and save money while shopping online.
There are hundreds of sites that can help you review your past shopping experiences, including online shops and e-mail vendors. These days, it’s easy to find reviews about everything from payment methods to grocery store delivery services.
You can also search for customer service outreach organizations or groups that offer review opportunities. Most major national chains have website reviewers program, which give customers the opportunity to request custom reviews from their stores using their in-store card.
These reviews are helpful if people do not have access to the internet to read them. It is also helps when there is no digital footprint.
Customer feedback via written review is still the most effective way to get good brands and businesses understanding how they can improve their products and services.
Review management programs exist to help keep track of these reviews, allow aggregated views, and provide ways to identify reviews by category so that reviews with similar themes can be identified.
While all of these companies offer e-mailed delivery, only some provide same-day or next-day shipping for small orders (under 10 pounds). Some also allow you to choose regular, ground, expedited, or certified mail.
Of course, this depends on where you live and your relationship with each company.
If you are not already familiar with them, there is no sense in buying anything from anyone if you aren’t comfortable with trying their services.
You can avoid having “estranged lovers” chasing after you day and night by using a reliable courier service like Courier Express.

Your website should be optimized for viewing, editing, buying products and shipping information as well as taking orders. You also need to make it easy for people to find your online store.
The first thing you want to do is have a clear and comprehensive front page with all of your important info listed in one place. Make sure that all of your items are organized by price or size so they can easily be shown along with descriptions.
You also want to put up warnings about customs fees if you're not shipping worldwide. Also note whether your prices include taxes or not.
Believe it or not, there’s a very good chance that you will have to advertise in order to gain enough customers. With dhl personal shopping, you can find ways to attract people who are more likely to buy than others.
For example, you could offer prizes for referring other people to your shop and giving them something for free. Or you could provide a lot of information about what you sell and how you treat your buyers, which should make them want to purchase from you.
Also consider offering coupons and deals to visitors to your e-store if they sign up for your email list. You can also see where better advertising is needed so that everyone can be the best they can with what they have.
Advertising isn't one size fits all. If one method works great, then stick with it. But don't neglect the other methods just because they take work. A little effort goes a long way.
Social media is an excellent way to reach out to potential customers and keep up your brand’s image. Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are good places to start to connect with people and gain loyalty.
You can also advertise discounts and deals in these platforms. This may lead to sales directly through your website or other sources. You can also encourage others to share information about their experiences using your products by giving prizes.
The more reviews you have published that discuss how great your product is, the faster people will trust you and buy what you sell. Content marketing focuses on creating quality content that attracts readers and encourages them to click on links to visit your site.
By having online forums provide additional support for your customers, they will be happier with their purchase and feel more comfortable making purchases from you. Enhancing your customer experience means improving your business overall.
Put yourself in your customers shoes – if you were buying something and had difficulty accomplishing what you wanted to do would you go back to the store? If you’re selling products try coming up with some innovative ways to make things easier for the customer. People are much more likely to purchase goods if they know they will not get stuck with a bad deal.
It is not enough to have a website with an online store; you need customers to know about your business and find you through search engines.
The best way to achieve this is by using promo codes or discounts, specifically for people who are looking for what you have.
You can offer these codes in the form of emails or flyers. This helps spread the word about your brand and services without cost.
Another method used widely today is called blogging. There are many ways to do this, but it works like this: you create content related to your product or service, share that content via social media channels, and provide links to other areas of interest.
People then may choose to follow you or buy from you.
Blogging has benefits including being seen by more people, showing that you are creative, and improving your SEO (search engine optimization). Does it follow that People may decide to ignore you if they don’t like your content. Yes, no, or maybe? No
