Get More Website Traffic and Make More Sales Online

Your online shop has great potential, but I’m willing to bet it’s underused right now. The problem is figuring out how to get more website traffic to make your ecommerce shop more profitable.

I’ve found that the answer to this problem is straightforward:

• You need more people to visit your website
• You need a higher percentage of those people to buy

Get more website traffic, then make more sales.

Because the solution is simple doesn’t mean the process to get there is easy. It’s one thing to say you need more traffic and a higher conversion rate. It’s another thing to get there.

Getting more website traffic and increasing conversion rates are both long-term, ongoing projects. I’m here to help you get started with both: get more visitors to your website and get more of them to buy something.

First, I want to explain how powerful combining more traffic with a higher conversion rate is.

Get more website traffic and improve ecommerce conversion rate

Many growing businesses neglect their website, because it’s working “well enough.” But have you considered that if your website is only performing half as well as it should, all your marketing efforts will be half as effective?

At a healthy 4% conversion rate, instead of 2%, every Facebook ad could make you twice the money. Every influencer mention would double in value. All your social media efforts would pay off twice as well as they are now.

Imagine you get 4,000 visitors a month at a 1% conversion rate. That’s 40 sales, and you want 200 sales per month. Here are three things you could try:

1. Drive more traffic: at a 1% conversion rate, you need 20,000 visitors.
2. Improve conversion rate: at 5%, you only need 4,000 visitors.
3. Do both: 20,000 visitors are now 1,000 sales at a 5% conversion rate.

Option A and Option B each increase sales by five. If you do both options (Option C), you go from 200 sales to 1,000 sales by multiplying traffic x conversion. Optimizing both results in 25 times as many sales.

To seriously boost online sales, you need these two things working in partnership. Yes, you need more traffic. But you also need to increase your conversion rate.

That’s the formula for success. So, are you ready to get started?

How much traffic can you expect?

The sky is the limit when it comes to traffic. But how do you know what is reasonable to expect?

Now that we’ve learned a bit about conversion rate, we can use that information to see how much traffic we need. Let’s assume a 1% conversion rate for a new business that hasn’t optimized their site or grown a customer base yet. How many sales do you want per month? If you want 30 sales, you’ll need 3,000 visitors in a month.

If you have a 1% conversion rate, you can’t expect ANY sales until you’re getting at least a couple hundred visitors to your site per month. When your traffic is very low, it’s often a result of a poor (or no) marketing strategy, which means your random visitors aren’t likely to become customers.

No fear, though, we’re going to get to the bottom of how to get visitors who are excited to be on your site, and ready to shop!
