I have for a bit and it was good-ish. I had some issues with it. I like a real simplified variation of seeing web stats and statistics and this was a bit too in depth for me. I couldn't make use of all the information so just moved away from it.

The way people like to complain online these days, anything that sparks a debate or provides information to AI. So think of things that people would come back to time and time again.

I did not think of this. I might start with this kind of ad since you don't really have to see it unless you hover it. I will report back, I have to see what options I have. Thanks for the input guys!

This. If you are not running a big site or have to worry about being sniped by a copy-cat, then I don't think it is really worth it anymore. There is no real value in this unless you have to worry about things that typically only effect large traffic model websites.

I believe it was down to Google as mentioned. I have a feeling this: Is behind a lot of it. Every since 2021 (at the start of the year) I have seen so many people talk about their websites, shops, blogs, etc. losing upwards of 90% of their traffic.

Yup! I did give it a try and it did help a little bit but the cost ended up not being worth it because I was still making the same or less after. I am trying to venture into other passive income options so I can help supplement this while I figure things out. I will look into the business card thing though for sure!

This is something new to me but apparently it has become a goldmine for passive income earners. The idea behind these is to help people better utilize their choice AI system for work, building, and general life. Has anyone here give this a look? It could be something that can be good for passive income for someone that is good with AI.

Outside of digital "art" sales like selling prints and things like that, e-books do well if you can write and offer something people want to pay for. I have seen people sell e-books via facebook and do well, the topics that do best seem to be health/weight loss and investments. The good thing about e-books is they don't have to be very long and you can price them between $2 and $10 making them more appealing.

I struggled with this early on. Once you start getting profits and see things improving, it does keep you motivated. It is just so hard when this isn't happening. It helps to look at it like a hobby you enjoy more than a career or revenue stream option.

I would say you can but I think that it probably only works maybe 20% of the time. Some people will tell you it is easier to rank back up from scratch. So taking all your content, redoing it, and reposting it on a new website with a fresh face instead of doing this on the current domain.

I am looking for a way to earn more but traffic and sales have been steady and not improving in a number of months. I was considering running ads on my site/store page but I don't know if this is a good idea. I have heard of people saying doing this killing their online business when it was still in the growing phase. I am a bit torn on what I should do here. Hoping someone can give me some good advice so I don't mess this up.

I have heard of people being worried about raising prices for services or products. I was worried myself. I had to raise prices twice now. I did see a drop in sales but it bounced back both times. I worried myself sick for no reason.

I am only juggling sites in terms of my shop and social accounts and I am finding it overwhelming. I can't imagine doing this for two or more different sites. Why not look into tools or software to help you better manage them?

This was a concern for me but I am only using one at the moment and it has been a huge help. Now I am looking at other options but I want to make sure I don't take the time I would spend marketing and put it into managing tools for marketing lol

Right now I am using Klaviyo for email marketing and it has been working great since my shop runs on Shopify. I am looking for other options to help take some of the load away so I can focus on other things. It is time consuming having to manage ads, social media accounts, etc. Are there any other tools that can help with marketing for my online store?

It took me awhile to price my products. I found that if I did it too cheap, people would view them as cheap. So I found a good range but have since had to increase prices due to costs. Everything is getting more expensive!

I do sales for the main seasons. So I do a Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter sale. This way I get to pick the periods I want and people shopping for the holidays that fall around it can make it work. I think this is better than doing specific holidays.

So I run a small online store. I started it in Etsy, branched out to eBay, tried Amazon, and now I have my own site. The issue is actually getting more traffic and sales. I am averaging maybe 20 sales a month which I know is great considering the size of the shop but I was making more sales on Etsy at one time. When it started to drop is when I opened my own shop. Anyways, I am wondering what I could do to improve sales, traffic, etc. and grow my small business. My goal is to earn enough to do this full time.
