So, you spend over 4 hours every day on social media and all you do is by data bundles, log in and scroll till you doze off the day, I think this should not be the case for somebody like you who wants to make extra money away from your salary.
Imagine waking up in the morning with a comment notification from a customer who urgently wants you to buy your product, imagine receiving payment notifications while you are at work for you to deliver in the evenings or over the weekend.
The markets moved to social media and that is why there is a term called social media marketing. You got to use the platforms for something that can bring you money.
Many people are running businesses but you will never find them posting anything on their timeline about their businesses, how do you expect people to buy from you if you are not letting them know what you sell. It is time you learned the game of content creation to start sharing content about your products and start getting people to send you DMs and buy from you.
Somebody will say that I have no product to sell, if this is you, then you don’t know what you are missing out on. You have that skill you have acquired from work, that #talent that you have been developing from childhood, or that knowledge you got from the last course you attended or book you read. Why don’t you transform that into something you can sell to others and earn a living.
The over 5000 #friends you have on Facebook, followers on Instagram and LinkedIn should not be put to waste. If you post your pictures on the beach and they like it, why not post once in a while about your products. Not only that there is this thing called affiliate marketing, if you can’t create a product, why not offer to sell your friend’s product and earn a commission on each sale you make.
Now depending on which product you sell, you got to clean up your social media account and #grow a trusted online brand. People buy online for two reasons because they like or trust you. It is a very common reason why somebody will scroll through your timeline before they make their order and the intention behind this, is to make sure you are genuine and their money is safe.
Selling online also means that you should be committed to giving value. When I say post about your product, I don’t mean that you should just post “I am selling this” every day. Make sure you teach people about your products, how to use them, how you create them, #testimonials i.e. customers who have used your products, what uniqueness your products have, etc.
