A simple sales technique that helped me earn $77

Wanted to share a very simple sales technique with you today.

BidorBuy is like a African version of eBay and on this website I literally have thousands of products and services listed.

When scrolling the list of products I have up there, it shows 2 major indicators.

1. Views (How many times the advert has been seen).

2. Watching (Someone added it to their watch list).

In general most our items get about 5 - 20 views so these 2 products definitely stand out during browsing, with 146 and 75 views, 2 people watching and 1 sold item.

Now you simply focus on selling these items on other platforms.

I use this technique on a local site called Gumtree here in South Africa because most people who use BidorBuy will check Gumtree as well to compare prices or see if they can get a better deal.

Kyle teaches in https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co... that customers rarely purchase on their first point of contact and typically takes 7 times before they make a purchase online.

This technique really works because the first day I listed these 2 items on Gumtree I got a sale! :)

Next step is to share this on social media and through my website.

The title of the advert also played a big part here because as you know there is a lot of curiosity around Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. This is even getting more attention than some of the rare collectibles I sell.

If you are a retailer it is also time to consider accepting payment in Bitcoin.

I accept BTC payments for my products so i now have a wider audience to sell to as well. Consider most millennials will likely trade/pay with crypto in the very near future.
