The number one question I get asked is "what can I do on my website to increase sales".  I usually evaluate the site and check for many different factors.  But the most common factors are that people have traffic they are just not tapping into!

There are 2 pieces to really improve sales from existing traffic.

1. Capture your audience.  

2. Communicate with the people that are ALREADY on your site!  This means:

a. Get people to sign up!

Whether you offer a free guide to something amazing that is relevant to your site, or a subscription to your blog...whatever it may be.  There are many many ways to get people to sign up on your site.  Find the way that works best for your ideal target clientele.

b. Setup an abandoned cart notice!

For e-commerce, one of the best ways to increase sales is to reach out to those that have already been pondering a purchase on your site.  The abandoned cart notice does just that.

c. Send offers!  

Whether it's an offer to subscribe to your awesome blog or some sort of promotion on your website...OFFER IT!!!  They won't think about you unless you intentionally become a thought in your audiences minds. You don't have to have an e-commerce site to take advantage of the traffic that is already on your site!  If you don't have a blog, you should really consider starting one.  There is a really good article here about how to decide what you should blog about.

Now, if you are having traffic issues on your site (traffic is low) I've written an article previously about ranking either with paid ads or Organically.  Check out the article here.  We can also evalutate your website with you to discuss ways that you can improve the traffic on your site.  Feel free to contact us to schedule a time we can review your site with you and offer up some FREE suggestions on your website.

We offer free integration with Google Sheets for all of your data.

With Google Sheets, you can create, edit, and collaborate wherever you are. For free.

Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet app that lets users create and format spreadsheets and simultaneously work with other people. Google Sheets allows businesses to integrate their data with 3rd party apps to expedite and in some cases automate every-day business processes, such as operations, reporting, shipping, updating Clients & exployees, etc.

Feeding Data Into Google Sheets 📝

Let's begin with a few ways that you can feed your data to Google Sheets. Once it's in Sheets, you can create charts, dashboards, or conduct the analysis to get the answers you need. Later, we'll talk about how Sheets can be an intermediate step in a workflow, and how it can go from there, out to other services or platforms.

• Feed your WebsiteForge product data To and From Google Sheets
• Feed your WebsiteForge order data To and From Google Sheets
• Feed your WebsiteForge Members To and From Google Sheets

These can be utilized in many different ways.  More to come on this below.
Also, soon, more areas of your WebsiteForge members area will be integrated with Google Sheets.

Google Forms 🎫

These days with the Google Docs Platform, it couldn't be easier to create a form and log the responses into a spreadsheet. It is now a built-in option to route your Form responses directly into Sheets. Forms can be a much more natural feeling method for users when you're looking to have them input data; consider this approach if it makes more sense than opening up your spreadsheet for collaboration.

Zapier ⚡

Introducing Zapier into your workflow can open up many powerful options to meet your needs. With Multi-Step Zaps you can do things like have an email with an attachment trigger a zap that will upload the attachment to dropbox, then have it notify you about the attached file in a communication app like Slack.

That is just 1 example of a multi step zap.  You can see all kinds of integrations with Google Sheets and Zapier here. 

Here's a good example of how to use the already great tools in WebsiteForge and maximize your social presence.

If you aren't already familiar with how our social media integration works I will summarize it by saying it's like having a dashboard from your website to broadcast to your social media.  With zaps you can take it a step further by expanding which social platforms you broadcast to.

Now that you see some ways that Zapier works, you can start to play around with the options at your fingertips.  Being able to push your WebsiteForge module data automatically to a google sheet and then triggering events from Zapier can help you automate tasks like never before!

If you would like assistance setting up an integration, feel free to contact support.

Often people think I only need XYZ service to make my website work.  But when most people try to get a decent looking website up using a cheap hosting option they deeply regret it, often times they quit the project they started, or end up losing thoursands of dollars hiring different "Specialists" to just "make it work like they want".

You don't want to find a storage unit to park your car in and never touch it again...You want a pit crew you can count on to keep your business engine running smoothly.

This is what sets WebsiteForge apart.  We don't piece together random elements from 20 different coders to try and just "Make things work".  We have in-house Designers, Programmers, Project Managers and tech support so that you get the very best option for your business.
