Creating An Online Course That Sells! – Miguel Hernandez

Miguel’s Top 3 Tips:

1. If you don’t have a lot of traffic to your blog or website it will be challenging to sell your course online via your own site. Explore the variety of opportunities available to you on a platform like Udemy.com to publish and sell your online course. Udemy.com has the marketing infrastructure in place to help you market your program.

2. Courses that are least two hours in length tend to do better. You want your customer to feel they are getting a lot of value for their money.

3. We tend to believe that when a product or service costs more it’s better. But make sure you’re delivering tons of real high quality content. The quality of the price, affects the quality of the people you attract to your program. You want students that respect your content.

Cash In A Flash: 3 Keys To Monetizing Your Gifts In 30 Days or Less – Nathalie Ekobo

Nathalie’s Top 3 Tips:

1. Don’t assume you know what your potential customers or clients want. ASK them what they want. Then offer it to them. Never forget: People don’t buy what
YOU think they need, but what they want. Tip: If you sell them what they want, you can give them what they need in the form of the actual delivery of your product or service.

2. Establish Connection – People don’t just buy products or services for the acquisition of stuff, they buy you, your energy and how you make them feel. Create a system so your customers can buy more of you, for example the fastest and easiest way is create an inviting website that encourages interaction.

3. Ask for Feedback – You can do this in a multitude of ways, for example you can survey people on your mailing list online if you feel too shy to speak with people directly, (use a survey delivery service like SurveyMonkey.com for example) another hot tip: if you choose to do an online survey don’t overwhelm the receiver by asking a lot of questions.

Monetize Your Gifts Masterclass Series – Interview with Terri Belford

Rodney — Thu, 23 May 2013 06:48:29 +0000

For 3 days they peeled back the curtain and shared their secrets and insider tips!

If you were not able to attend the Monetize Your Gifts Live Masterclass I have provided you with an opportunity to check out our powerful, game changing discussions.

Today I’d like to give you a sneak peek of my interview with Craft Biz Coach and entrepreneur Terri Belford shared 12 different ways to sell your craft items beyond online mega sites like Etsy and Artfire.

Terri has been self employed for over 30 years in businesses developed out of personal interests in the advertising, home furnishings, fine arts, healing arts and contemporary crafts fields..

Beyond Etsy: Bring In an Additional $14,000 a Month From Your Creative Pursuits – Terri Belford

Terri’s Top 3 Tips:

1.Host a virtual open house and/or group cooperative efforts – you simply gather a group of your artist friends. Set up a simple WordPress website featuring all of your combined work.

Each artist has their own page on the site (much like an open studio) in order to drive traffic to the site each artist has to agree to invite their audience using their own respective email and or physical mailing lists.

2. Demo your tips and tricks – teach a few of your special techniques to an audience interested in learning how to do what you do. You don’t have to give away all of your trade secrets. Just demonstrate how you do a few of your special techniques.

3. Sell tools of the trade – once you begin offering live demonstrations many audience members will want to purchase the items you used in your demo lessons, create
starter kits that audience members can purchase from you on the spot. This can be a great way to ramp up your revenue from an audience ready to buy.
