I was watching the news reports last week about the results of the Black Friday sales and several of the headlines stood out at me. Headlines like “More shoppers opt for online sales than in stores”. I read articles like this one from FT.com which are basically saying IN STORE sales lagged this year while the whole world went crazy online. 14.3% more sales ONLINE on Thanksgiving, even while the stores were opening earlier and earlier. People still shopped from the convenience of their home, from their computer, in their footsie pajamas.
Let’s face it….. the new world we live in WANTS to order online. Amazon.com sales were up 24% this Black Friday. Best Buy’s site went down from such heavy traffic. I could go on and on about the amount of money being spend ONLINE.
So how does that affect me and my fellow small business friends???? Well, if you are a creative entrepreneur and have anything to sell…. then you MUST have a website that people can buy on. Period. If you want to make money while you sleep (which has been my goal for the last 2-3 years. ), it just is not an option for you anymore.
Listen my painting friends, there are only so many clients you can paint for at any given time.
To my decorating friends, same thing.
To my creative entrepreneurs who are burned out on Etsy, who are tired of craft shows…. there is a better way. You must get online. And once you get online, you actually have to get people to your site. I can show you how.
This month in my Inner Circle group, we are talking all about websites. I have had my site for almost 10 years and have made money off of it for almost 3. For those of you who think you have nothing to sell….. yes you do. You have KNOWLEDGE. You have EXPERIENCE. You just need help figuring out how to get that into “an online bo”x so that someone could buy online. You can sell your painted pieces online. Sell your design expertise online. Sell your tutorials for making jewelry online. There are just so many options!!!!
So join us this month. My first training video for December comes out to my private Facebook group tomorrow. Sign up is HERE.
If you need a website, join us.
If you have a website but it’s in serious need of some love, join us.
If you have no idea what I am talking about but want to make money for your family while you sleep, join us too.
For some of you, this will totally change the direction of your business.
See you in the group,
Jennifer
