In order to generate sales, the main requirement is traffic. If you don’t get quality traffic, you can’t sell. Another problem is competition. A lot of people are already selling the same product and you cannot stand out in the competitive market.

It is ok to sell in a market that is competitive yet proven to be profitable but you need to do something before selling.

Market Research: Before you create your product, you need to do research. You should try to find out whether there is a demand for your product. The research should also involve knowing your competitors and knowing your competitor’s products (features, price, etc.).

Unique Selling Proposition: Standing out in a competitive market is very important in order to generate sales. The stronger your unique selling proposition, the more sales will pour in. You need to offer something with your product so that the buyers choose to click on your product instead of your competitor's product. You need to offer your product to the specific target audience.

If you are selling from your own store, your store and your products need to ranked high on search engines. Let’s say someone searches for “Buy T-shirts.” If the T-shirt from your store appears on the top search results, you will be able to buy your product. You need to do SEO for your store and product listing in order to get ranked on search engines. If you can’t get ranked high, this does not mean it is an end to sell T-shirts. You can do search engine marketing and get your product ranked on the paid listing or as an ad. If you are selling on third party marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc. you need to try for internal ranking. This again calls for SEO skills. The only alternate to this is running ads for your products. Most of the online marketplaces offer CPC advertising, which means you pay for your ads only when it gets clicked by the visitors.

Nice strategy. A lot of people who are really interested to gain the attention of people to themselves online will always try as much as possible to make sure their products are of high quality and at the same time the products must be attractive . If we check out most of these online stores and the type of product they are updating in their platform , you will come to find out that these product they are updating is so attractive. This is based on how they snap and edit the picture thereby making it more appealing to people including those that are not particularly interested.

Digital marketing is very necessary for everyone that is running an online business and this must be put into consideration because learning how to advertise your business on social media the right way will help you have the highest number of traffic for your business growth
