This is Part 2 of a series of posts explaining how you can make $100 per day selling your products in the SoapSell Marketplace.  SoapSell is a new and exciting marketplace for handmade bath & beauty companies to sell their products around the world online. Unlike other marketplace site, SoapSell does not charge you to post your products for sale and you don't have to continue reposting every week, or even every month.  Once you post your products in the SoapSell Marketplace, they stay posted until you take them down.

Are you selling your products in another marketplace online? GREAT! You should just have your products for sale in one place.  Some marketplaces are crowded, filled with brands that have already established they're name.  You may think, how can I compete with that?  It's easy, you work 2-3 times harder then you normally would.  You also build your online presents.  When people search Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. for your company, or the types of products you sell, you want your company to show up in the results.  Not just once, but multiple times.

How much is your domain worth?

To reach the goal of $100 per day, you need to build the SEO to your shop (SoapSell Marketplace, or any other marketplace site you have a shop on) as well as your website.  There are several steps to building SEO.  Link-backs are very important when building SEO for your shop/website.  These are links to your site/shop or products in your shop/site, from quality high traffic sites.  Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Reddit, local & national media outlets and high traffic blogs within your industry, are just a few of the website you want to get linking back to your shop/website.

This is one of the reasons using social media is so important. Within a few days of starting a Facebook Page for your business and posting photos of your products, etc. your company will start showing up in Google search results, via the links you have on Facebook, or other social media sites. (Try it now, open another tab to Google and search your company name.  What links show up first? Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Instagram?  Do you have an active account with each of those sites?) Of course this is just a start.  If people have heard of your business, this is great, they can search the name of your company, find your site/shop and make their purchase.  What you will eventually want to happen is have your company come up in search results, when potential customers are looking for the types of products you sell, not just your company name.  I will talk about this in another post, the focus when starting out is making sure that the search engines know that your company is out there.

Post on social media daily.  Here is a great blog post, "6 Tips to Improve Your Facebook Posts", that will help you to create the most effective Facebook posts, ensuring the best traffic through your FREE posting.  (Remember, if you find that a particular post is doing will, BOOST THAT POST! You only reach 3%-6% of your friends/followers when you post on Facebook, the more interaction the post gets, the more of your friends/followers feeds it will come up in. So if you find that a particular post is doing well in your target market, with the few people that get to see it, then boosting it, to your target market can yield results that are astonishing.)

Remember, posting daily on social media will give you more quality link-backs to your site/shop, helping your company to come up in search results.  To get to $100 per day is a process, it's not something that will happen over night.  Can it, yea. Is it likely, no.  But if you follow these steps fully and completely, you will get to $100 per day, or more!  Remember, your shop online never sleeps! When done right, you will make money when you sleep!  There is nothing better then waking up to see that your company was working for you while you get to rest.

How to Make $100 Per Day Selling Your Soaps in the SoapSell Marketplace Part 1

How to Make $100 Per Day Selling Your Soaps in the SoapSell Marketplace Part 1


A quick search on Etsy.com and you will see that there are thousands of handmade soap makers around the world, working hard to build their brand online and make a decent living doing it.  Let me ask you this, could you live the life you want making $100 per day selling your soaps or handmade bath & beauty products? If you said "YES" then continue reading.

To start, this is nothing that is going to happen over night, so if you think that you're going to start making $100 per day on SoapSell Marketplace within a month, well you're wrong, and this may not be for you.  This is something that will take some time, but with hard work and dedication, you can be making $100 per day from your handmade soap business by the end of 2017.

First you have to open your shop, so if you haven't opened a shop in the SoapSell Marketplace, I suggest you do that now.  It's free to start your account.  It's free to post your products for sale.  The only time you pay is when you make a sale! (A small commission fee of 7% of the sale or less. Not including taxes or shipping.)

Once you have opened your shop, it's time to get some products uploaded.  The more products you have available the better.  But you also don't want to spread yourself too thin.  Starting with 4 - 6 products that are your best sellers is the way to go. The plan is to start building momentum, that's the key.  It's easier to make sales, when you're already selling. 

Once you've got your products uploaded, with great images to show them off online, you need to start setting goals.  First start with long term goals like, where you want to be in 5 years, and build backwards from there.  Break it down first into months, if in 5 years your goal is to sell $200 per day, slowly breakdown what it would take each month to reach that goal.  Then go a step further and figure out what steps you need to take each day to reach your goal.  Once you have a plan of action for each day, that's when you're really ready to get started.


Collect and Review your Data

If you read my post How to Make Your First Sale Online I explain the importance of reviewing the data that is collected by social media sites (i.e. post interactions) to find out what posts and images are working to drive the most traffic to your online store.  Once you figure out what posts are working, and drive people not only to your shop, but these people are also making purchases.

Once you've found a few of your posts that are working, BOOST THEM! If they're already working by driving customers to your site, customers who are making purchases (not all of them, but a good deal of them) then logic says if you get that post in front of even more people, your sales will go even higher. This is where you start to gain momentum.

Recap

First, get your SoapSell Marketplace shop open.  It's free, so why wait?  That time that you're waiting, you could be building brand awareness, getting "LIKES" on your Facebook Page, and finding out what posts really engage your customers. This is something that will take a month or two to get the data you're looking for.  You DON'T want to just start advertising because so many people lose money that way.  If you don't know who your target market it, you'll just be wasting money.

This is just Part 1 in the series How to Make $100 Per Day Selling Your Soaps in the SoapSell Marketplace, a step by step guide to building your online soap or bath & beauty business.  To stay up to date with this post and more about starting and running a successful soap business, please feel free to Subscribe.
