Get tips from the experts
September 29, 2011 No CommentsIn the world of online selling, there are a number of known gurus who willingly give tips on how to succeed in the business…for a price. In a lot of cases, they give seminars and workshops which may or may not be worth the price of admission.
One common complaint about the advice given is that they are pretty broad. They are long on theory but short on specifics. One might just as well buy a self-help book at one-tenth of the cost of a guru’s seminar and get most of the same tips shared.
Still, getting tips from experts can be a rewarding experience. Fortunately, some experts are willing to share their valuable knowledge for little more than a ‘thank you’ plus a cup of coffee and croissant.
SEO or search engine optimization experts are a growing breed. These are the mostly young men and women who saw the enormous opportunities in eCommerce, then dove into the fray ahead of the pack.
Ask around and you will probably run into someone who knows someone who is an SEO and eCommerce expert. If this person is a friend of a friend, try to meet him or her in a social setting. Perhaps your mutual friend can arrange for the three of you to have lunch. Take care of the tab. Ask the expert for a few tips. If he or she is generous enough, you’ve found your guru. All for the cost of a meal.
If you want to pick the expert’s brains some more, be prepared to give something in return. The products or services in your online store is a good place to start.
If you can get to meet and chat with other SEO and eCommerce whiz kids, all the better for you. As your knowledge grows, so too will your online store grow and prosper.
