Get Started Selling

I’m passionate about numbers (and not just because I am a certified accountant 🤓)

Plain and simple, you can’t be strategic if you don’t know your metrics.

Here are 9️⃣ things I track every single week with my store

When you track these week over week, it’s easy to see where the problem is if things start going off the rail. And while there are some industry standards for a few of these, the best thing to measure against is your own store!

Got a question about any of these? Let me know in the comments or send me a DM

75% of all the website traffic on my online store comes from a mobile device 📲

Make sure when you are building or modifying your store, you are optimizing it for mobile using the suggestions in this post!

Do you know what your bestsellers are?

The goal is to always have these in stock and to feature them front and center on your website and in your marketing.

The other 80% of your products are where you get to be creative and hopefully find additional bestsellers to add to your list - just make sure you don’t tie up too much cash in inventory for these products!

I might do a training at some point on this because inventory planning is SO critical for product businesses but a topic that I couldn’t find a lot of information about when I was first starting out.

Tell me, do you use the 80/20 rule (also called the Pareto Principle) in other areas of your life? It’s so interesting how universally applicable it is 🤓

Still haven’t started that business you keep talking about?

THAT’S OKAY!

I probably annoyed my friends and family for over two years talking about before I actually went for it 😏

Life happens, office jobs leave us too exhausted by the end of the day to work on our own thing, there is never enough money, there is a fear it won’t work out… I totally get it.

But the number one thing I wish I had known when first starting out? That businesses take TIME to grow and the sooner you start, the sooner you will have the business of your dreams.

For me it took taking a sabbatical and moving to Copenhagen for 3 months to finally get my business off the ground but I promise you, you don’t need an “eat, pray, love” moment to change your life! Embrace small steps everyday and don’t stop until you reach your goal.
