So since the subject is tips on how to sell through the web, we made a point of preparing a short list for you, but full of simple and basic tips to be applied, for you to leverage your sales, let's go to them:

Set up an online store:

Without a doubt, the best place for those who want to sell online is to have their own sales shop. With it you will be able to present your products, promote the store well, make sales and carry out secure financial transactions for you and your client.

To set up your virtual store is very simple, you just need to choose the domain name, in this case the name of the store, choose a good website hosting company, as it is the one that will keep your store online.

Then choose an E-commerce platform to create the store, you can choose between WordPress (most recommended) as it easily integrates with Wocommerce, which is a WordPress plugin for a virtual store. And you can also opt for Magento and the Prestashop platform.

Always choose a hosting provider that offers at least 99.9% uptime, offers 24/7 support, and offers a fast server to keep your store loading time as fast as possible. .

This will definitely help with the user experience when visiting your store, as it has been proven that slow websites, not optimized for all types of devices, lose visitors and customers.

Choose a niche to work:

Before you start, it's very important that you keep in mind what you really want to offer people, you need to have absolute knowledge about the products you're going to market. A visitor to your virtual store will know for sure if you are knowledgeable about the products presented there, or if you just want to earn money.

For this reason, it is very important to make a good choice of the niche, and to make a complete alignment between the product, and of course your interest in it. Only then will you start selling them to your visitors.

Validating your ideas:

It is very likely that sometimes when faced with a certain product you have asked yourself: but how is it possible for someone to try to sell this?

Know that this is called lack of validation, and it is one of the main mistakes of many entrepreneurs. Mostly beginners. This means that no planning was even done for the launch of the product, and if there was even any interest in the market.

Most of the time, they sell products over the internet that do not offer any differential, or that are already saturated. Or that do not add any value to those who buy it can lead the entrepreneur to give up right at the beginning of his journey. Therefore, always research, look for feedback, question and validate the product before making it available for sale.

Online security for everyone:

Web security is a very important issue, and if you want to sell online, you will have to take this issue very seriously. You need to offer secure site for your buyer customers. After all, you will be dealing with money and data from third parties, which need to be very well protected.

Then install a security certificate (SSL) on your site, the padlock that appears before the site name. This will make your transactions much safer and will also give the store visitor much more confidence.

Invest to sell later:

You must be finding this part of the article even funny, because we mentioned having to invest money when the idea is to make money selling online. Keep in mind right away that investing is part of any business.

So try to do a good financial planning, and also plan a budget so that it can meet any and all needs, not to mention that it's good to prevent unforeseen events too, because they can happen.

Organize an efficient delivery system:

You can even ignore this topic here, but only if you already work with affiliate programs, promoting digital products such as: online courses in video lessons, e-books that can be downloaded via email. Anyway, everything that can be consumed through the web.

But since the subject here is how to sell physical products online, then you need to organize your delivery system. Everything will depend on what you are going to sell, if it is a very large product it will have to be delivered via courier. But if it's small and medium-sized products, which are usually best, use the Correios service.

Make good logistical planning also for the delivery time of your online sales, usually users who are used to buying on the web do not like delays.

Stock:

Our wish is for your business to explode, and for you to start selling a lot every day, but this will depend on your ability to meet demand.

That's why having a good stock is also totally linked to the planning of the business's finances, as you will need to invest in products if you want to get sales.

If they are made-to-order products, then try to make this information very clear to your visitors, this will help to avoid future confusion with buyers and delivery time. Have full transparency with your customers and visitors about your way of making sales on the internet. Never forget that “transparency” tip.

Customer attendance service:

It's very likely that you've already bought it on the internet, or tried to buy it. But before making the purchase I would like to ask questions about the product. And it was at that time that you even tried to contact the store through SAC, but unfortunately it was not successful.

The tip is simple and direct, so have a highly trained team ready to answer all questions from visitors to your store. Support for buyers is essential and has to work flawlessly.

Presence on social media:

You need to learn, practice and apply social media marketing techniques to your business. Be present on social networks, after all, creating a profile on them costs absolutely nothing. Create a plan and publish frequently using videos, images. And engage your audience with quality content.

And don't forget, don't focus only on traditional social media, because the new social networks have already arrived, and they are there practically unexplored. Even some of them are already making a lot of success on the internet.

Position your store in search engines:

Another tip is, apply Seo techniques in your online store. Seo is: Search Engine Optimization, which means Optimized Organic Searches. This is nothing more than a powerful technique to appear in the results of organic searches on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo without having to spend on ads.

Therefore, create optimized content for your website, as these visits may indeed convert into buying customers. Not to mention that by correctly applying Seo you can receive a ton of traffic daily on your online store.

Transparency:

Making sales on the internet requires the same transparency as selling in a traditional store or even more, so always be transparent with your visitors.

Always specify the real needs that your product or service will meet. Never promise your customers things your products can't deliver, and problems they won't solve.

Having complete transparency in business is very important, and it can avoid future problems such as unnecessary returns and refunds that only generate losses. And that I believe you wouldn't want to go through that, would you?
