If only things were as straightforward as opening up a shop or having your own website&acirc;&euro;&brvbar;and then watching as both traffic and leads just roll in!\nIn spite of these challenges, there are many easy strategies you can employ to get your first sale in just 10 days. While it may take a while to get to the level of huge success&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;like our Nicky Laatz, who recently <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/nicky-laatz-million-dollars\">cleared $1 million USD in online selling<\/a>&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s totally doable to get your first sale in a short period of time!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Drawing_Power_of_SEO\"><\/span>The Drawing Power of SEO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nSearch engine optimization is old-school, but it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s still one of the most important essentials of successfully selling online. It&acirc;&euro;&trade;s how your site or online marketplace profile surfaces to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs) for your given keyword. The more people see your result at the top of a SERP, the more likely they are to click on it, and boom! That&acirc;&euro;&trade;s where your organic traffic comes from in the form of leads and visitors.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42002\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/01\/14230020\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-20-at-12.56.09-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-20-at-12-56-09-am\" width=\"680\" height=\"573\">\nFirst, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll want to use a great keyword research tool like <a href=\"http:\/\/adwords.google.com\/keywordplanner\">the Google Keyword Planner<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/products\/pro\/keyword-explorer\">Moz Keyword Explorer<\/a> to search for the keyword that&acirc;&euro;&trade;s appropriate for what you want to sell, which is generally a high-volume and low-competition one. For instance, if you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re selling high-quality brochures, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll want to use these keyword tools to search not only for &acirc;&euro;&oelig;brochures,&acirc;&euro; but also various derivatives (creative brochures, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/business-card-templates\">brochure templates<\/a>, etc.), which result in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/long-tail-keywords\">long-tail keywords<\/a> and give you more options to be ranked higher in search.\nOnce you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve found the keyword or keywords that show good search demand, it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s time to incorporate them into your site to increase the chances of people finding you in organic search.\nThat means doing the following:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Placing your keyword(s) all over your site, from the webpage copy and blog posts to the homepage (but don&acirc;&euro;&trade;t keyword-stuff!)<\/li>\n \t<li>Including your keyword(s) in how you name the images on your site<\/li>\n \t<li>Incorporating the keyword(s) into your site&acirc;&euro;&trade;s design, in everything from its meta descriptions and H1, H2 and H3 tags to its URL and internal links<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Reach_of_Social_Media\"><\/span>The Reach of Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nA sizable problem you face when you just open up shop is not having a stream of customers. That&acirc;&euro;&trade;s easily solved by going to where they are, which, in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, is often times on social media. According to Business News Daily, in today&acirc;&euro;&trade;s world, social media is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessnewsdaily.com\/6399-social-media-lead-generation.html\">the amazing equalizer when it comes to lead generation for small businesses<\/a>.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42003\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/01\/14230026\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-20-at-1.04.39-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-20-at-1-04-39-am\" width=\"679\" height=\"412\">\nSelling from an online shop or site makes you a small business, whether you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re a solopreneur or have a team working with you. Therefore, leveraging the wide reach of social media can go a long way toward helping you get that first sale in the first 10 days after you open your virtual doors.\n<a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/5-examples-of-great-social-media-marketing\">Social media<\/a> is a great awareness builder for people selling online. A constantly updating and well-curated Facebook business page, for example, helps prospective customers find out about you and tells them that you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re always busy, engaging and creating new products. That builds strong awareness over time.\nOn Facebook, you can:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Post to your business page once a day, sharing helpful info or a link<\/li>\n \t<li>Share a part of your business story once in a while to build a narrative<\/li>\n \t<li>Engage your followers by asking the questions or even asking them to fill out a survey<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nOn very image-heavy social networks like Instagram and Pinterest, you can:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Get your followers excited about your products by showing them off on your channel (whether that&acirc;&euro;&trade;s a clothing line, jewelry, or digital assets)<\/li>\n \t<li>Use the ability, on Pinterest at least, to showcase various product categories by using different boards<\/li>\n \t<li>Go above and beyond by briefly explaining how to use your product, not just sharing visuals<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nWhen you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re regularly active on social media, you get a traffic boost to your site, as a fraction of the people checking out your social pages will inevitably click on your site&acirc;&euro;&trade;s or shop&acirc;&euro;&trade;s URL that you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve featured on your page.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ingenuity_of_Google_Shopping\"><\/span>The Ingenuity of Google Shopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nSometimes, the direct approach works best. If you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re just starting out and struggling to have people find out about your online shop or store, then maybe it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s time to put your actual products in front of them when they&acirc;&euro;&trade;re searching Google for the types of products you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re selling.\nMeet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/shopping?hl=en\">Google Shopping<\/a>. Think of it as the be all and end all comparison shopping engine. Simply submit your products to Google, and the search engine will show your shop&acirc;&euro;&trade;s or store&acirc;&euro;&trade;s inventory to people doing a search for your type of product! Sounds like the perfect combination of demand and supply.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42004\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/01\/14230032\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-20-at-1.05.33-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-20-at-1-05-33-am\" width=\"680\" height=\"873\">\nYou do have to pay for Google Shopping, as it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s integrated with Google AdWords to allow you to create an ad campaign online. After you establish your merchant account, you upload the products you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re selling with a data feed to Google. Then, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re ready to start taking out your first ads that will show your products to people doing relevant searches.\nSweetening the deal is that your products will be shown to potential customers across all devices. This is crucial since a lot of people today use mobile in shopping<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/news\/technology\/heres-why-people-choose-shop-or-not-shop-their-phones-169419\">: 45% of all ecommerce involves the use of mobile<\/a>, whether that&acirc;&euro;&trade;s actually shopping or just doing research and comparison shopping.\nThis is an easy way to get a lot of exposure and help your online shop or store close its first sale very soon after you open.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Steadfast_Reliability_of_Email_Marketing\"><\/span>The Steadfast Reliability of Email Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nThe ROI (return on investment) of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/steveolenski\/2014\/09\/26\/email-marketing-most-effective-mobile-marketing-most-difficult\/#7e2b86ea60f7\">email marketing is the most effective<\/a>, according to a survey of global marketers cited by Forbes. So it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s virtually a no-brainer to start an <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/email-newsletter-design-fails-to-avoid\">email newsletter<\/a> where you showcase your products to people who&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve visited your store without making a purchase.\nOf course, that begs the question, how do you get email addresses in the first place because you need an email list for this to work? There are numerous ways that you can handily capture visitors&acirc;&euro;&trade; and potential customers&acirc;&euro;&trade; email addresses, so they voluntarily hand it over without any pressure. The last thing you want it so spam people with unwanted emails about your products!\nGetting the first few email addresses for your list can be as easy as installing a lead-capture form or even a lead-capture bar (for more outside-the-box creativity) on your store&acirc;&euro;&trade;s homepage.\nThe form should be above the fold and include very few fields, usually two fields just for the person&acirc;&euro;&trade;s email address and name is more than sufficient if you make it clear that, in return for giving up their email address, they&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll get personalized and relevant product recommendations based on their interests. There are various plugins for forms, such as this <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-email-capture\/\">WP Email Capture plugin<\/a>.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42005\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/01\/14230036\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-20-at-1.07.12-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-12-20-at-1-07-12-am\" width=\"680\" height=\"281\">\nAnother option would be the aforementioned lead-capture bar, which spans the entire horizontal width of your homepage and asks for visitors&acirc;&euro;&trade; email addresses. The famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellobar.com\/\">Hello Bar<\/a> is a shining example of this. With the Hello Bar, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re banking on the fact that an entire bar is more noticeable and therefore more effective than a form, which usually occupies just a part of the page.\nUsing a lead generator can also bear fruit. On your site, you can display a pop-up form or window that promises a 5% or more discount on one of your products when a visitor gives you his email address in return.\nThe best thing to do would be to experiment with all of these ways of getting email addresses to see which one does end up snagging more addresses for you.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_DonaE%E2%84%A2t_Need_to_Wait_Forever\"><\/span>You Don&acirc;&euro;&trade;t Need to Wait Forever<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nOne of the most stressful aspects of selling online is the nail-biting experience of waiting for your first sale to go through. After all, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve built up your online shop or site, have taken the time to create various products, and are looking forward to being an entrepreneur. Depending on the actions you take when your shop or site is live, you can greatly increase how long it takes before you see your first sale.\nInstead of getting easily discouraged, work on the marketing aspect of running a successful online business. All of the tactics discussed here are proven ways to make people on the web find your shop or site, bring traffic to it, and then convert.\nFor too many online sellers, discouragement can set in pretty quickly when that first sale doesn&acirc;&euro;&trade;t come through in a certain period of time, which is too bad. However, with these approaches to promoting your products, you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll get your first sale drastically faster than ever before!\n<\/p><hr><strong>Products Seen In This Post:<\/strong><\/p>    <figure id=\"card-486874-69731722\" class=\"product-card half no-pinit\" data-product-id=\"486874\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"half\" data-pin_it=\"no-pinit\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"69731722\"><\/figure>\n        <figure id=\"card-321785-1556788365\" class=\"product-card half no-pinit\" data-product-id=\"321785\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"half\" data-pin_it=\"no-pinit\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"1556788365\"><\/figure>\n    \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a graphic designer and entrepreneur means you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll likely want to sell your creations at some point in your career.
