Insite Sessions by Insiteful Paul Warren & Chris McLean

Revenue from product sales is great, but it's not always consistent - especially when you're starting out with your eCommerce store. What if you could add a revenue stream that provided a more predictable form of revenue for your business?

That's exactly what we dive into in this episode, when we look at why you should be adding a subscription to your business.

With a subscription in place, you build monthly recurring revenue (MRR) into your business, providing some peace of mind and an ability to predict what you've got coming in each month.

As always, we're here to help! If you'd like more info on how to go about adding MRR via subscriptions to your eCommerce business, hit us up at www.insiteful.com.au.

Trigger Warning: Sorry to all the dropshippers out there... if you're easily triggered around your choice of business model, feel free to skip this episode.

Look, we don't hate dropshipping (much), we just think there are better ways to build an eCommerce business that give you the control you need to actually grow it in the direction you want, as fast as you want, without the restrictions that can come with the dropshipping model.

Tune in for our take on why we think dropshipping is a terrible business model, and what we recommend you do instead.

You've heard the saying "When you try to sell to everybody, you sell to nobody", right? It may sound like a throwaway marketing line, but it's something we see eCommerce businesses get wrong. All. The. Time.

So if your answer to "Who do you sell to" is something like "whoever wants to buy it!", this episode is for you! 

Do not pass go, do not collect $200... tune in immediately as we discuss why it's so important that you get really, really clear on WHO you sell to, and then build a community around that audience.

Bonus points for finding people just like you, who need to solve the same problem you did when you decided what to sell on your store.

Do you go to bed at night thinking about how to improve your eCommerce business? Do you dream of how to get better at what you're doing? Are you genuinely curious about learning how to make your business the best it can possibly be?

If not, quit right now.

In this episode, we delve into the importance of Passion, Curiosity, and Enjoyment and how vital these are for the long-term survival of your eCommerce business (and your sanity).

As you grow your business one thing that will begin happening with regularity is that new opportunities start showing up. A new product idea, a retail partnership, a whole new product line, selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy... the list goes on.

Sounds exciting, doesn't it?! It is. BUT we see far too many business owners chasing EVERY opportunity, every shiny new object -- and what happens is they lose focus on their core business.

They spend time and money investigating every new thing, rather than doubling down on the "boring" stuff that is already working.

In this episode, we discuss why you need to get really good at saying "No", discerning between opportunities that will actually benefit your business, and those that may destroy it -- and why doing the boring stuff better is the way to sustainable business growth.

How do you know when your potential customers are most primed and ready to buy from you? How do you turn total strangers into customers?

We love using the Buyer Intention Hierarchy model to help our clients understand when strangers on the internet are most likely to become buyers of their products.

The hierarchy is an easy way to optimise your marketing (everything from keywords to messaging and offers) to meet browsers where they are in the buying cycle and attract them quickly to your store.

In this episode, we explain the 5 stages of the Buyer Hierarchy and give examples of how you can use this simple model to better communicate with prospects at each of the 5 stages.

As always, drop a comment or hit us up to ask a question or find out how we can help you leverage this inside your business: www.insiteful.com.au
