Tips to getting your first sale as a dropshipping business

Ecommerce and Dropshipping / By

Starting a dropshipping business isn’t as easy as you may think it is. Like the saying goes, “whoever comes into the market first gets the largest share of the pie”. This is very true in today’s context. Especially when ecommerce and dropshipping can be start relatively easy with a simple computer and an internet connection. Today’s marketplaces are almost impossible to beat when you face the likes of goliaths such as Amazon, Shopee, Alibaba and other major marketplaces. That being said though, any saturated marketplaces always have its shot of brightness. Here’s how you can stand out and get your first sale when you start your dropshipping business. Be unique Don’t strive to be a me-to product. Just creating a shop online doesn’t guarantee you success. Find reasons to stay unique. Why will customers come to your shop and what makes you different? Is it your service, your product that differentiates from the market? Don’t aim big Accept the fact that major marketplaces will always chomp off the bigger portion of the pie. Serve that 1 customer enquiry and build up your reputation from there. Do your research If you are selling a competitive product, are you able to bring it to your consumers at a better price, at greater convenience? Faster? Safer? Never miss another enquiry Reply every enquiry. Not even those that come to you to make a sale, for collaboration or partnerships. You never know what can blossom from there. New products Keep adding products on a daily basis. You love a store whereby you enter and see things different everyday. Keep your customers craving for more everyday. Discounts, Discounts, Discounts Customer acquisition is key. With scams all around. Its tough getting customers to trust your store to pay and wait for their orders to arrive. Shops give out massive discounts just to get 1 new customers. Do the same and make them stay. Make them comfortable to shop at your store. At Godata.digital, this is what we do.

Why we no longer help our businesses create websites.

Creating websites is a complete waste of resources until you know what you truly want to publicize. Fact is, search engines have gotten so good(they have to), in order to filter out the best from the pack. NEVER EVER make the mistake of creating another one of the many other pages out there already live on the internet. When you create a page, list a product or list your services, you should have a very clear direction of your purpose and motivation. What is it that your business provide and what is it that you really want to put out. When we first partnered with JJTrustedSvcs for their website development, we sat down to understand their service specialty, what they required and how we can structure the site to become more than just another accounting service out there. What we DIDN’T do was to talk about domains, hostings, CMSses and other technical jargons. We made sure they understood the digital aspects of their marketing efforts and zoom into what truly will make clients click. After which, we created the website completely handsoff. Requiring minimal efforts for our client and keeping things as simple as possible. Finally, the site was published within 2-3 weeks of initial contact. Talking about ease of service. Because our team was able to keep things simple and easy. We were able to lower our prices and make the entire experience surprisingly effective for our client. They’ve since gotten their first clients and moved on to further their marketing in the digital space. At Godata.digital, this is what we do. We connect your businesses to consumers through our value creation services. We don’t create websites, we create value. This is why our clients consistently come back to us for more digital help. They also recommend their clients to us and that is how we grow organically. We never overpromise or take on dirty tricks just to get that additional 1 or 2 customers. We work hard with our clients to serve them digitally over the long term. Value-ing our clients is how we keep our services in check and satisfied consistently to never want to leave us.

No more Free Traffic! How to mitigate Marketplaces removing Free Organic Traffic?

Digital Marketing & Business, Website Design and Technicals / By

Traffic is never FREE. It happens in both in real life and the digital sphere. Rental spaces in the retail space cost money. Its not the actual space you are paying for, its the opportunity to leverage on the space where people walks past and view your items. This is the same in the digital space. The only time marketplaces offers free traffic is for seller acquisition and during the initial stages of brand building. After which, for sellers, its literally survival of the fittest. What happens next? When marketplaces finally decides to throw you under the bus, I’m sorry, but there is literally nothing that you can do. After spending all your marketing dollars on promoting the marketplace and helping them build their brand while you are left with nothing to yourself. Nobody knows about your brand, your products. You realize that you are just another replaceable product with nothing left to yourself. Your product is challenged by millions of other cheap substitutes while you succumb your brand to cheap alternatives. How to mitigate the impact of marketplaces reducing organic traffic? This is why you build your own entity and identity. Today’s world is so filled with easy ways to market your product. Why direct traffic to marketplaces where your customers can easily find a cheaper alternative for your product? Wouldn’t it be better to find a regulated marketplace where only the best items get showcased? Yes, such marketplaces exist but they do come with strict regulations. Alternatively, building a quality ecommerce website and getting your products featured on your own page would allow you to keep your brand and image for over a longer period. Of course, we ain’t talking about cheap products imported from China. But, if you have something that is truly of value and marketable over the long term, its wise to get a website build up that will give more prominence on your brand over the longer term.

Content Writing and Backlinking / By

Guest Posting is all about getting potential traffic to read and finally convince them to find out more(clicking on an outbound link), provide you with a follow-up lead, or getting them to purchase your product or service. To do effective SEO Guest posting, your articles need to provide more value than what customers are investing to finish your article. How to provide value within the article? Content Power juice – Give readers more juice out of each word. Keep your sentences short and concise. Don’t oversell – Customers read to receive knowledge. Understand the intent of reading and recommend accordingly. Linkback on valuable content – don’t link to promote. Link to allow traffic to learn more. Don’t AI – Limit the use of AI to only do proof-reading and improve on sentences and paragraphs. Stop using AI to generate content. Single Point Focus – Each article should have a single focus. Don’t cram too much info within a single article. It causes the article to lack focus and difficult to read. Keeping your content short and concise is the key effective link building today. Never write for search engines. Learn to write for users. Understand your readers needs and you will receive the benefits of your SEO efforts. As of 2024, our digital strategy team has revamped our Digital execution service with these new content strategies to more effectively help our clients engage potential customers.
