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.

Helpful post, Kamil. Thank you! I'm intrigued by Bitcoin but will continue to watch what cryptocurrency in general, will be doing in the coming months.
No problem Susan ;)
Are you aware that you can collect free Bitcoin partitions (Satoshi) daily? I am also skeptical about cryptocurrency and it's volatile state but in the meantime I'm collecting Satoshi. It's also a great way to learn about Bitcoin and trading.
Interesting Kamil, I like the idea of using other platforms in advertising your wares. I will be looking into it.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ken
This works best with digital products but if you are selling physical stock that is limited in quantity then you have to keep track of this.
I would not advertise 1 item on several platforms because it could sell simultaneously then you can have a problem so keep this in mind.
Very interesting!
Yes, you are right, we need to accept the change that is inevitable...Bitcoin and crypto are likely here to stay and we need to learn how to adjust our thinking about these entities!
Thank you for sharing.

Yes Susan, doesn't seem like Bitcoin is going anywhere and for many youngsters (and some adults) it is already a preferred method of online trading...
Actually lost many sales over the years because I only started accepting this payment method this year.
