I Couldn’t Sell a Single Product. Until I Did This...

43 sales by simply avoiding this mistake

E-commerce is about selling anything to anyone, anywhere.

That sounds incredible.

So they make it very easy to get started.

Sign up for Shopify.

Pay.

Build a store.

Which is much more complex than they make it look. But I digress.

What nobody talks about, however…

What happens after?

Your products are all set up, your store is live, and you’re paying for multiple Shopify apps.

And now?

No sales.

Not even much traffic.

That’s how I started my e-commerce journey ~10 years ago.

So much for selling to anyone, anywhere.

I couldn’t even sell a single product to one person.

I took a break from e-commerce—although I hadn’t even gotten to the commerce part.

And I went into software development.

I started building apps.

I launched them.

No downloads.

Wait a second…

I know this feeling.

I had gotten really good at building and launching projects, but I was still stuck with the exact same problem I had on Shopify.

No traffic = no sales/downloads.

Only then did I realize I had a traffic problem, not a building problem.

So I started focusing solely on solving this problem.

I learned SEO, social media marketing, organic marketing, guest posting…

I even built my own tech tools to post in forums automatically.

I started to get traffic.

Downloads started coming in.

I had solved it.

But as an engineer at heart, I had to prove that it worked.

So, together with my wife, we invested in a failing business.

We took the brand online.

Fixed the traffic problem.

And sold more products in a day than I had in the prior four years combined.

We had to rent three offices to keep up with the orders.

So if you think you have a sales problem…

What you really have is a traffic problem.

Once you understand this, all you have to do is focus on it, and sales will come in.

To prove it to you—

In my mentorship, I shared a step-by-step Traffic Training with our members, with the goal of saving you the painful years it took me to figure this out.

Last night, I received a message from Janah, a small business owner selling granola, asking if I could review her setup.

I opened her ad account and realized she had gotten 43 sales.

All on her own.

Just by following the process outlined in the training.

I got so excited and congratulated her.

This is what she had to say…

But it wasn’t just working for Janah.

So if you feel stuck and find yourself questioning whether Shopify is even working for you—

Work on your traffic.

People can’t buy from you if they don’t know you exist.

And you are not alone.

We all made the same mistake.

The same system that helped Janah also helped Emma…

It worked for Allison

It worked for Matt

It worked for Sally (who just launched her store)

If you’re tired of trial and error and want the same results for your business, join my mentorship, where you’ll get access to the same resources Janah used.

But more importantly—

Happy selling,
