Bounce Back Digital Series: Using Etsy, Facebook, Instagram & Ebay

E-commerce Course: Using Etsy, Facebook, Instagram & Ebay

Learn to start selling online through easy to use existing platforms, getting set up and then learning to promote your products and get more traffic and sales.

In this workshop we’ll take you through the different platforms you can use step by step and look at the costs involved in each and which would be best for your business.

We will take a quick look at people who are thriving on the likes of Etsy, Ebay and Facebook Marketplace and show easy to follow steps on how you can achieve similar successes. Once you are set up which is relatively straight forward you’ll want to start selling. To start selling you’ll need to bear in mind the importance of well structured product titles and copy for both search and marketing purposes. You’ll learn what makes a good product photo for online stores, good titles and copy as well as how to optimize your content for better search results and better conversion.

When you’ve set up your store and added your products the work begins. Using a mixture of the platforms own advertising features and Instagram and facebook ads to drive traffic, we’ll take a look at targeting the right people and how to structure an ad that invites “click-throughs” and purchase intent. Finally looking at how to measure success in the first few weeks: test and iterate is very important for an online store, working out what works and what doesn’t so you can do more of what does work and less of what doesn’t.

You’ll be able to go away, set up a store, create product photos and listings and start to promote your listings as well as looking at your analytics to see what works and what doesn’t.
