Learn How to Sell Products On Your Blog

April 27, 2017 by Tanya @ Mom's Small Victories Leave a Comment

Learn How to Sell Products On Your Blog

If you’d like to learn how to sell products on your blog, or even sell your services, we’ve got some great tips for you in this post.

Conference organizer Melissa Llado ended an incredible Day 1 of the conference and graced us with her insight as she inspired mompreneurs to think outside the box on her training site MelissaLlado.com and she shares her job of cooking with kids and sharing home hacks and parenting advice on her blog Serendipity and Spice.

As bloggers, we know we need to diversify our income. We can’t rely on ad revenue or affiliate marketing alone. We need more and if you don’t have a lot of extra time (I know I don’t), Melissa offers up a profitable revenue stream I didn’t really think of… adding a shop to sell products our blogs.

Disclaimer: I received a free virtual ticket to the Blog Life University 2017 Conference as a member of the NC Blogger Network in return for sharing my conference notes and key takeaways. This post contains affiliate links.

Why Add a Shop to Sell Products on your Blog?

There are a few reasons for adding a shop to your blog could be profitable:

  • You need another income stream to diversify your income
  • You don’t have time to develop your own products
  • You need another avenue for your direct sales
  • You have loyal readers who trust your opinion and recommendations

How Do You Decide What to Sell?

Take these into consideration:

  • What niche(s) do you blog about?
  • What products are you passionate about? (ex. “what if you wrote a post on Disney and had Disney products to sell?”)
  • What does your audience need?
  • What does your audience want?
  • Do you already do direct sales (ex. Pampered Chef, BeautyCounter, Essential oils)?
  • Are there local vendors you want to support?

How Do You Setup A Shop to Sell Products on your Blog?

Melissa recommends Shopify, an e-commerce site that works well for selling products on your blog and works well with multiple email marketing providers. Check out Melissa’s Serendipity & Spice Boutique to see Shopify in action.

If your blog has a local audience, Melissa recommends reaching out to local vendors where you love to shop and see if they are interested in an affiliate relationship where you help sell their product for a percentage commission. Win-win!

Think Outside the box

Melissa had me really thinking outside the box. I’ve been designing a FREE blog planner for my readers over the past 3 years that I’ve gotten such great feedback on. I love helping bloggers like me achieve their goals.

But all the praise also inspired me to take the plunge, do it even though I was scared and create my FREE YOUR MIND blog planner which will be available for sale in the Genius Bloggers Toolkit for one week only in October! I know how long that first product took me to design and make available for sale and I haven’t really started promoting it yet.

In the meantime, Melissa’s session got me thinking of how I can expand my revenue stream with other products until I make more of my own printables to sell. If you know me or my blog, I’m obsessed with blogging, planning and books. Could I sell my favorite planner goodies or open my own little bookstore with my favorite selections and bookish gifts? That gets me so excited to think about. What gets you excited to think about?

Want to Learn How to Create Your Own Products You Can Sell?

Grab the “How to Create Your Own Product that Sells” Starter Guide. It includes the following:

  1. The 5 point checklist for creating a sales funnel that keeps on converting.
  2. The Sales Funnel Worksheet, so you don’t build and just expect people to come.
  3. Invitation to my private Facebook Group (free!) so you can get even more help growing your influence and increasing your income!

Ready to Sell Products on your Blog? Want to Learn how to Launch your Product or Service?

If you’re ready to – 

  • Attract an audience that is looking for your products or services
  • Create an audience that knows, likes and trusts you enough to repeatedly buy from you
  • Sell your service or product without feeling like a salesperson
  • Make a difference in the lives of your audience by solving their problem with your product or service
  • Have income consistently created from the same product or service

Then you’re ready for Launch Pro! This course will give you a STEP-BY-STEP process on how to build a relationship with your audience. We know you’ve got GREAT IDEAS – take the course and learn how to capitalize on them.

No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has of No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered⁣
⁣
The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?⁣
⁣
✨{𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄}✨ 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞⁣
[3 Part Masterclass Series Oct. 22-24]⁣
⁣
I  know you. The over achiever.  The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.⁣
⁣
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.⁣
⁣
❗️Getting fired 3 times!⁣
❗️Almost getting evicted.⁣
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.⁣
❗️Having to shut down my first business.⁣
⁣

⁣
We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:⁣
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?⁣
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?⁣
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?⁣
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?⁣
⁣
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]⁣

Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends to see if they want to come out to the polls with me. Everything's better with friends right?
.
Did you know research shows that reminding 3 friends to vote can significantly increase voter turnout? So stop scrolling on the gram’ and start texting or calling some friends – lets make sure we show up and show out at the polls this election!

✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨ 1 plan ou ✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨

1  plan out your workouts for the week — so you have a plan it helps keep you accountable. I look at my schedule for the week and figure out what classes I can take.

2  MEAL PREP — if you live a busy life, it is so important to think ahead and plan your meals out in advance so you aren’t tempted to eat out/unhealthy foods. 

3  DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW — this is so important, if you find what you love it will be the best part of your day. 

I am by no means a fitness expert, these are just a few tips that have helped me along the way.

Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this time of year. This iconic church stands in New Bern and has plenty of quiet spots on its beautiful grounds for reflection. It also has a playground for the kids. It’s currently decorated for Fall and Halloween with lots of spots for beautiful photos. 🍁

WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others! 
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

Thanks for tagging me @themamamogul and @ashley.dominique ! #ncblogger #amplifymelanatedvoices

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators
