Hey guys,
got my 2nd sale this month, sounds small, but it's big for me, because it means that my first sale was not only "luck".
Here's what I've learned: I over delivered in value, not even expecting a sale in this situation, and boom! right after that the customer bought.
My former belief (MY belief = ego driven haha) was this: if I give away free stuff, no one will buy, because they got it for free. The market did not care about my beliefs and proved me wrong. Since then I give value big time and get lots of great feedback that I collect and can use for my website later. At this point (I'm on the Fastlane since a couple of months) I don't expect to sell much, but I'm going to adjust to that lesson and keep giving much value to the market.
Next goal for me: improve my sales page and my checkout page. I already did some adjustments in the past and got from 25% clicking from sales page to checkout page to 36% clicking from sales to checkout page, so I improved my sales page, but want to be better. I'm so into that "getting better and adjusting with small steps thing" that it feels like a fun game now.
I'm reading The Millionaire Fastlane for the 4th time right now, and it's still such amazing stuff, it's like a Bible for business people, thank you @MJ DeMarco!
P.S.: does anyone know what is generally a good percentage number of customers clicking from sales to checkout page? Many thanks!
