How to make your first Sale online from your Website

“How to make your first Sale online from your Website” is certainly the biggest challenge anyone starting out on the Internet is confronted with… and while there are some people who regularly make money online – and even a living from working online like for instance eBay Power Sellers… a very good living even – the fact is that there is a lot of hype and secrecy woven around the virtual reality and its countless fast & easy money-making opportunities, also strongly driven by MLM and Affiliate Marketing – which are by far not the same as some people mistakenly believe.

How to make your first Sale online from your Website

The fact is that – offline as well as online – making your first Sale online from your Website depends on your ability, skill or strategy of bringing your product or service – meaning whatever you offer and sell – infront of your target audience.

While you want to possibly be located near important traffic centers like shopping malls in the real world, i.e. places where a maximum of people pass and see your shop and enter to have a closer look… of which some people will buy… it’s not different on the Internet highway. On the Internet the biggest traffic center is the Google search engine where people punch in what they need in order to quickly find that product or service, buy it and move on with there lives. Google is followed by social network monolith Facebook… and then we have the rapidly growing mobile web – smartphones, iphones, ipads, Blackberries for south Africa… andsoforth. Of the 700 million Facebook users a whopping 200 million log into their Facebook account daily via their mobile device! Sales on the Internet as well as on mobile phones are sky-rocketing all over the planet… what other indicator do we need?

From there follows that the question of how to make your first sale online from your website only depends on your location – or rather position – on Google, Facebook and the Mobile Web.

The question now is how to get to Google Top 10 – to start with – with millions of competitors having the same in mind?

The answer is simple and proven: get a Semiomantics website or blog!

First Sale for Psychic Readings Online

Building your online success on the strong foundation of a Semiomantics Website or Blog pays as we can happily report again: despite the fact that this brand-new blog just went live and that we are just slowly getting the hang of the Amazon Shop intricacies (see my earlier post HERE), there has already been the critical First Sale for Psychic Readings Online right from one of her brilliant articles on her website: Congratulations Delia O’Riordan! May this exciting start be the beginning for a prosperous online future!

Spizike Boots more stock in at Global

Jordan Brand winterized the Spizike for their Holiday Collection to create the Spizike Boot. The Boot features a layered upper of leathers, suedes, and ballistic mesh. The plastic “Wings” from the Air Jordan IV (4) have stuck around from the casual version. Cushioning is provided via an Air Sole unit in the heel and a rubberized outsole offers long-lasting durability. Three unique styles will be introduced from this Winter: grey/cherrywood-red-even, black/anthracite-flint, and dark cinder/black. Customers seem to be asking for them regularly hurry whilst stock lasts.

Website Maintenance Service

Once a website or blog is set up and properly configured and looks spot-on, the real journey only starts!

What counts now is to post regular original content in a smart, well-edited way… and to see that things are and keep running smoothly, 24/7/365. If your Website is just a means to an end, meaning you have a business to run and that’s your prime focus – then you are well advised to invest in a reliable and professional Website Maintenance Service.

Website Maintenance Service

With the current speed of upgrades – be it Wordpress or Plugins – this could become a day-filling job alone, especially if you have set up a network of blogs to promote your business.

If you as the Web Designer create a blog – say on a Wordpress based Semiomantics Script – my advice would be to offer a Website Maintenance Service on a monthly subscription basis. It is important that a client understands what this entails – and that he actually would be completely lost without it unless he has some profound IT knowledge and the passion and time and nerves to dig into it on a daily basis.

Since Web2.0 things aren’t getting easier, well to the contrary. Here’s today’s example followed by a helpful tip:

WordPress Updates

Logging into my Author Blog today, the first thing I see that – after just a few days – the next WordPress 2.9. 1 update has been released! Now you’ve got to check what this entails and what implications it has on what you’ve set up so far. Some updates work sort of automatically through the Dashboard of your blog – others need a manual download to your harddrive and from there an upload to your server, overwriting the existing files. With slow Internet connections and really lousy lines down here in South Africa, this is a tedious job – but it has to be done.

Plugin Updates

It’s all a chain reaction: one update leads to the next… then a bug is being discovered and whoopsi! here comes the next update and so on.

I had 3 Plugin Updates in my Author Blog today – and one of them caused a mess… and it wasn’t until I investigated the issue with my code-spiffy friend from France, Laetitia Paris, that together with a lot of testing and thinking and swearing and drinking (virtual Champagne only of course!) we found the solution. We decided to share it with you, our loyal readers. It will save you time and frustrations….

Collapsing Categories Plugin – Problematic Update

Before writing my post this morning, I updated all my plugins, including the Collapsing Categories Plugin.

When I checked my published post, I suddenly discovered that, in the left sidebar widget where all my Categories were situated in a ‘collapsing’ manner, all posts of the corresponding category came with a red underline that exceded the frame of the widget. I had never seen this and first thought of Fontburner, that had caused us a lot of headaches in the past as well – but that wasn’t the reason. Now i wondered whether my site or line or ISP were caching and asked Laetitia – she saw the same thing. However, she did in Firefox and she didn’t in Internet Explorer. This alone is a nightmare at times – but at least we saw the same thing. Checking the Collpasing Categories Code for anything that indicated something ‘underlines’ lead to nothing as well.

So we discussed the possibilities and tested… and to cut the long story short: the solution is to go – under Settings – into your Collapsing Categories.

Here you highlight and copy the following:

border:0;

and then you paste it a bit further down into the code so you get the following picture:

#sidebar ul.collapsing.categories.list li.collapsing.categories.post {
text-indent:-1em;
padding-left:1em;
border:0;
margin:0 0 0 1em;}

Then save it all and the mess clears up like magic!

Which reminds me that I still have to do exactly that for someone else as part of my Website Maintenance Service!
