Using Video to Increase Sales

When it comes to increasing your sales, there are many things to consider. As a PayLoadz member, you already are offering virtual goods online, but how are you marketing those products? If email campaigns and PPC are just not hitting the mark these days, why not think about thinking outside the box a bit?

Because technology is always changing and the public is always modifying the way in which it takes in information, your options are always expanding. One way to increase your sales today is to use video to do so. So, how does video improve your sales margins? Video is engaging and can emotionally connect with viewers – just like ads on television. Video brings a sense of personality to your business and can even boost your credibility and professionalism.

There are many different ways that you can use video to increase your sales. The most effective ways to use video is by incorporating reality video, stories, and testimonials into your website’s content. Such videos allow your customers to connect with your product visually and remember, visual impressions can run quite deep. And don’t worry if you don’t have your own website. You can even incorporate videos into your product pages in the PayLoadz Store. Refer to one of our videos explaining how to create a product listing.

When producing a video clip for your product there are some basics to keep in mind, and they’re really quite simple. Just remember, people like stories – they like to tell stories, hear stories, and to share stories. Conveying a story through images about your product can be integral to increased sales – as long as it is done professionally and with expertise.

The customer response to video is always much stronger than print and direct marketing ads on their own. When used in conjunction with traditional advertising and marketing efforts, videos can make a huge difference on your bottom line – especially testimonial videos.

The power of video is simply undeniable. It can generate traffic and give you the chance to presell your product to viewers. Videos also let you build a relationship with potential (and returning) customers by making them feel more comfortable with you and your product. If you have your own website, videos can even help improve your site’s rank in the search engines. And don’t forget, videos can go viral. So posting your videos on sites like YouTube and other video sharing communities can really go a long way.

After learning what you’ve just learned, we’ve put together a couple of ways you can use video to boost your sales:

· Product reviews

· Interview experts

· Create product showcases

· Consumer video reviews

· Sales videos

· Video blogging

The important thing is to have fun with your videos while at the same time offering your customers something informative and memorable.

Can Being an Affiliate Really Make You Money?

Often people new to the affiliate game wonder if they can really make money advertising and marketing other people’s goods. Simply put, the answer is a resounding “yes” as long as you take the time to motivate yourself and stay focused. Just remember, while you can make a ton of money as an affiliate, it doesn’t happen overnight. You do have to work at it, but the benefits can be amazing.

Choose Wisely

There are usually plenty of choices within any given affiliate program – especially ours. (Check it out at https://www.payloadz.com/affiliates/.) You don’t have to market every advertiser’s product. You can look through what’s available and select the advertiser that is offering the biggest payout. Remember, advertisers are getting “free” advertising from you in exchange for either a flat fee per sale or a percentage of the sale. Look over the payouts and see what works best for you.

In addition to making money with the affiliate program promoting products offered by merchants on PayLoadz, you can earn money by promoting PayLoadz itself. The PayLoadz Reseller Program pays you on each click, account sign up and a percentage of monthly recurring fee for any accounts that upgrade and were referred by you.

Do Your Research

When you join an affiliate program, you don’t have to be an expert in the products that your partners are offering. You don’t even have to be an expert at being an affiliate. What you do need to do is plenty of research. Once you join the program and agree to market a particular product, learn as much as you can about it. That will help you understand what it is and what the targeted audience is. Knowing your audience is a key to making money as an affiliate.

Setting up a Website

A good affiliate needs to set up a website dedicated to the product they are pushing. The site needs to be related to the product and feature well-written articles that will entice customers to click through to the seller’s page. It is a good idea to set up your website before partnering with any seller. When you set up your affiliate site, remember to do a little more research on keywords associated with the product. You’ll then be able to optimize your site and articles with these keywords to improve any rank in the search engine results.

A Work in Progress

An affiliate income is a work in progress which means you’ll need to keep at it to build up what you make. You’ll need to maintain your affiliate website and encourage customers to buy the product you’re marketing. Just remember, you can’t simply build the affiliate website and hope the sales will come flooding in.

Conclusion

So, if you work at being an affiliate, there is plenty of opportunity to make money. In fact, many affiliates enjoy a lucrative income and even transition into being full-time affiliates. If you have your own products, this may not be the path you want to take. But joining the PayLoadz affiliate program can help yourself and your fellow members. Think about it! Everyone could use a few extra bucks in today’s economy.

How to Be an Effective Affiliate

When you join our affiliate program, or any affiliate program for that matter, you are entering a world of endless possibilities and money-making opportunities. Whether you are new to the affiliate business or have years of affiliate marketing experience, your goal should be to make as much money as possible marketing affiliate products. Effective affiliates maximize their income as well as their advertiser’s income more than the average affiliate. In order to be an effective affiliate, we’ve put together some strategies that will definitely help you out.

E-Marketing

In order to make the most as an affiliate, you need to seriously think about e-marketing. Since you are already a PayLoadz member, chances are you’ve already given this some thought in regards to your own virtual goods. Take what you already know about online advertising and marketing and apply it to the products you are marketing as an affiliate. Get ready to incorporate both SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) to enhance your efforts.

Keywords

Don’t forget about the keywords! Learn to optimize your affiliate blogs and websites for targeted keywords relevant to the products you are pushing. There are plenty of keyword software tools out there to help you determine which keywords will be the most effective in driving traffic to your affiliate site and therefore converting to sales.

Website

Any website you launch for your affiliate efforts should be professional and engaging. Don’t just throw anything up on the web. The layout, organization, and content of the site should be relevant to the product and be appealing to not only human beings but the search engines as well. Remember, content is king, so make sure everything is well-written, factual, and interesting.

Think Outside the Box

Effective affiliates don’t just stick to the same old plan; they think outside the box. One aspect of doing this is to engage in digital marketing. While the Internet is an integral part of being an effective affiliate, there are so many other avenues to explore. Consider print marketing, email campaigns, podcasts, and whatever else you can think of. Video is also quite effective.

These are just the basics of how to become an effective affiliate. The main thing to remember is to remain motivated and focused in order to make the most of your affiliate relationship. The more you work, the better the outcome will be, just like selling your own virtual goods through PayLoadz and other platforms.

We offer a great affiliate program. You can market other PayLoadz members’ products or you can even become a PayLoadz affiliate yourself. To learn more about how you can join and earn extra money through our program, simply visit https://www.payloadz.com/affiliates/.

What are Donation Downloads?

You may have heard the phrase “donation download” a time or two as you’ve read through our site or surfed our blog, but you may not actually know what we mean? The concept behind donation downloads is really quite interesting, and can even help increase your overall sales in the long run if you take advantage of this feature. Basically, a donation download is one in which you allow your customers to choose the amount they wish to pay for the download they receive. With a donation based download, your customers will enter their own price during checkout.

Right now, you’re probably thinking that PayLoadz has officially lost its marbles, right? How can one ever make any money by allowing customers to choose what they want to pay? What about overhead, production costs, and profits? Well, those are all very good points, but let’s think about it for a moment. Yes, you are allowing customers to pay what they choose. Yes, you may not be making a profit. However, in most cases, customers will pay what they think is fair for a download. Often, this is more than enough to cover your expenses and a little extra.

It isn’t hard to implement donation downloads for your products through the PayLoadz platform. It’s also pretty easy to get started if you are selling your virtual goods through your own website or blog as well. The best, and most direct way, is to set up donation buttons through PayPal. Here are the simple steps:

1. Set the donation download price to at least $0.01 on your PayLoadz listing. (We can’t allow it to be $0.00 at this time.)
2. Use the Button Code Generator at https://www.payloadz.com/sell/product_codegen.asp
3. Choose one of the PayPal options presented to you.
4. Edit the block of code you are shown to allow for the donation amount.
5. Make sure you save the updated code into your website’s HTML source code.
6. Always test your changes.

There are more detailed steps located in the PayLoadz Help section. But don’t worry, getting set up with donation downloads will only take a few minutes of your time.

Donation downloads can be used in a variety of ways. You may choose to use such an option if you want your proceeds to be donated to your favorite charity. Perhaps your virtual goods are related to a cause. Donation downloads can also be a great marketing tool. Perhaps you are offering a new virtual good and want to test it out on the market. Allowing customers to pay what they wish is a great way to test its popularity, functionality, and what it’s worth in the public’s eye.

Aside from donation downloads, you may also want to offer your customers free download files, sample files, or even special discounts. When used in conjunction with donation downloads, you will definitely see your sales increase. If your customers feel that they are getting a deal, which they are, they will become returning, loyal (and happy) customers.

How Good Customer Service Can Boost Your Sales

If you want to increase your sales dramatically you should definitely shift your focus to your customer service. While attracting new customers to purchase your digital downloads is important, enticing proven customers to buy again might be a challenge. In retail (and most other industries) the best sales prospect is one that has already been converted. In other words, your current customers are your best bet. So, how can you do this?

First of all, getting your past customers to return to you will save you a ton of money in the marketing department. Take a few minutes and think of all the customers who have purchased your products in the past, but haven’t come back since. You probably made the most common mistake that business owners do – assuming that once they have purchased from you, they’ll continue to do so loyally. But if you don’t maintain and nurture that relationship, you might as well have never had their business in the first place.

You should think about the reasons a customer might leave you. Although there are quite a few, there are some of the most common:

• Unfair pricing
• Unresolved complaints
• Better deal from competitors
• They felt you didn’t care

These reasons are all easily dealt with and they make perfect sense. Business owners want to avoid inactive clients at all costs. Just think about it – customers often make purchases from a particular vendor because they have built up a relationship with that provider. If you don’t nurture that relationship from the start, you can basically kiss that customer goodbye.

While you should definitely seek new clients, your existing customers are incredibly important. When you consider the fact that repeat customers spend almost 40% more than new customers, referrals from repeat customers are more frequent than non-customers, and it costs a lot more to sell something to a potential customer than to a returning customer. You’ll want to take a closer look at your customer service.

Boost your sales with good customer service. It isn’t going to be hard at all. Treating your customers with respect and as if they are your strategic business partners can go a long way. Clients and customers who feel satisfied and cared for are going to spend more money on your products and make more recommendations to their friends, family, and colleagues. This also means that you should offer returning customers special deals, free samples, and other perks. The more you give, the more you are going to get in return.

The bottom line is that the better your customer service, the better sales you will enjoy. Do your best to attract new customers, but once you have them, keep them! Keeping this in mind will only boost your sales and your overall business.

A Little Bit about the “Share this Product” Feature

As an online retailer and seller of virtual goods, you probably already know that word of mouth is one of the best ways to get people to learn about your business or products. At PayLoadz, we know just how important the word of mouth phenomenon is, which is why we have recently implemented our “Share this Product” feature on PayLoadz listings.

Before we get into the facts about “Share this Product”, let’s talk a little bit about word of mouth advertising and marketing. By and far, recommendations in the form of word of mouth are really one of the most effective marketing tools out there. Just think about it – when you’re thinking about grabbing a bite to eat, what do you do? You probably ask your friends, family, or neighbors where they like to go and then try it out. The same principle applies to online shopping and just about everything else!

With that in mind, we’ve introduced “Share this Product” to the PayLoadz platform. You can find it on any listing in PayLoadz Store in the Seller section in the sidebar. It’s a simple link that allows customers to share a particular product listing with the rest of the world. It is a virtual word of mouth tool that quickly and effectively expands your product’s reach.

When a customer clicks “Share this Product” a convenient pop-up box will appear. The feature allows customers to not only share the product with whomever they choose, but to bookmark it as well. The innovation of “Share this Product” feature is great for both our PayLoadz sellers and customers shopping online. With this tool, it is possible to bookmark and share any item listed. And this isn’t just limited to email as many similar tools are – the reach of “Share this Product” tool spans out to email, instant messaging, social networks, and wish lists.

The “Share this Product” tool is a great social sharing tool that allows people to share a product anytime with their social network. With just a simple click, the word can be spread about your products in a matter of seconds. It allows for flexibility, so that your customers can get the word out about your product in their preferred style. Virtually every platform and option is available – and if you don’t see it, you can search for it easily!

Remember, word of mouth is the best (and cheapest) way to expand the reach of your product. When customers recommend something to their friends, those new prospects are bound to check it out. With “Share this Product” your customers can share your virtual goods with their friends, family, and colleagues quickly and easily. With more than 200 options ranging from AIM, Digg, Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, Tumblr, Twitter, WordPress, Yahoo, Gmail, and so much more, how can you go wrong?

Why List Your Products in the PayLoadz Store?

Sure, you use PayLoadz as a payment gateway to sell your virtual goods online, but have you ever thought about listing your products in our e-store? If not, you definitely should. As you know, the craze of online shopping is definitely catching up and it is quickly becoming the norm. As a virtual goods seller, you know that buying your products online is the best (and often only) way to go.

Online shopping through the PayLoadz Store is safe, easy, and convenient. The store offers the same security as any other online transactions that customers use to purchase your digital goods. The payment methods are also the same, so there’s no extra work for you. Listing your products in the PayLoadz Store means you’re getting the same reliable security and ease-of-use while offering your customers another option when it comes to finding and buying your products online.

The PayLoadz Store is really simple to use for both sellers and customers. The basic idea is similar to many other online stores you’ve probably visited. We’ve got all the goods separated into relevant categories, offer a search feature, and checkout process. Anyone who knows how to use a computer and shop online can handle the PayLoadz Store. As a seller, you don’t have to do anything extra – if you’re already a member, all you have to do is submit your store listings via your account.

We’ve got a number of features that makes listing your products in the PayLoadz Store even more rewarding. Right on the product page, we offer a Seller section that can help you maintain customers. They can view other items that you sell through the PayLoadz Store. There is also a “Contact Seller” option which allows your customers to reach you directly with any questions about your digital goods. Furthermore, “Notify Me When Seller Adds New Items” is incredibly beneficial when it comes to keeping previous customers abreast of any new products you may offer. Lastly, our “Share This Product” allows a customer to share your product page with their friends and family via email as well as any of the popular social networks.

Listing your products in the PayLoadz Store can definitely help you increase your overall sales. And to really boost sales, you should take advantage of all the features we offer sellers when submitting their products. Consider using our Featured Listing, which is a PPC (pay-per-click) option that helps your products appear at the top of relevant categories. You’ll also want to make sure that you use relevant keywords, descriptive titles, product images, and succinct product descriptions when listing your products to ensure that customers are able to find them quickly and easily.

Why Product Images are Useful

Did you know that text and images stimulate different parts of the brain? When you think about it that probably seems pretty obvious. When you have a section of text, it is vibrant and chronological which means that it takes a certain amount of time in order to explain or understand it. In contrast, images can be understood quite quickly, within a matter of seconds. This is why it is so important to use product images when you list your digital goods for sale.

At PayLoadz, we know that the Internet has become an integral part of daily life. We get our news online, we stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues, and we do a significant amount of shopping on the World Wide Web. Because we are so connected, images have quickly become a huge part of any online experience. Shopping online is a total experience, so why lose customers because your product listings lack images? Here are some general advantages to using product images:

· Product images give the customer an idea of what they’re paying for.

· Product images allow the customer to visualize the product description quickly.

· People recognize images quicker than text so the product image will be the first thing that attracts your customers. The description comes second.

· People love examples and samples of what they’re buying. Images achieve this perfectly in the virtual goods industry.

However, you do need to remember that using an image is only part of the entire product package. Because you’re selling virtual goods, the image you choose is the only visual representation of your product. This means choosing a relevant and good-quality image. With virtual goods, you may choose an image of the physical package of your product, if one exists. The image may also be a screenshot of one of your samples. What you sell will determine the type of image, but just remember to use the most relevant and best quality possible.

Using product images will allow your customers the whole Internet shopping experience. Images are essential to increasing your sales, but they won’t achieve that goal alone. In conjunction with product images, make sure that you take advantage of the PayLoadz Featured Listing option (check it out at https://www.payloadz.com/sell/listing_overview.asp), use relevant keywords, well-written descriptions, and descriptive titles for your products. Consider using images alongside free samples and downloads as well.

You can include images with your product listing while setting up the product in your PayLoadz account. The option for adding images is available under eStore and Payloadz Ebay Store Information section on Product Setup page.

Listing your products in the PayLoadz Store will definitely help boost your sales. But listing your product alone with text only won’t do the trick. Take in mind what we’ve just shared with you regarding product images and make some changes. We guarantee you’ll notice the difference.

How to Use Keywords Effectively

If you don’t know how to use keywords effectively, you’ll definitely have a hard time succeeding in the virtual goods market or any online business. Keywords are an essential aspect of search engine optimization and online marketing. They not only play a key role in the success or failure of your website but also your sales through online gateways, platforms, and e-store, like PayLoadz.

With the right choice in keywords, you will enjoy high sales. The right keywords will draw in more traffic, and the more traffic you have the more sales conversions you will enjoy. And you know the more sales you have, the more money you make! The keywords you choose will definitely affect how many customers are able to find and purchase your virtual goods through our store.

When selecting keywords for your product do a little research to ensure that you find the perfect match. One thing to keep in mind is that keywords should be relevant to your product and logical. For example, if you’re selling a digital download of accounting software, the keyword “puppies” wouldn’t help you out much! Additionally, keywords don’t have to be single words, they can be phrases. Detailed keywords can be quite helpful.

Once you’ve decided on the best keywords for your product, go ahead and make sure you use them in the title and description of that product. This will ensure that customers will land on your product pages when conducting a search. However, it is important not to stuff your titles and descriptions with the keywords. Everything should read naturally, as if a human wrote it, not as if there is just a string of relevant words.

To review, here are some keyword tips:

· Research keywords before listing your products – make sure they are all relevant.

· Organize your listings to match your keywords and phrases.

· Don’t stuff your titles and descriptions with keywords – make it logical and easy to read.

· Try out a variety of keywords and phrases.

· Write the titles and descriptions for the humans and not search engines; search engines will themselves take care of the rest.

You will quickly come to find that keywords alone won’t boost your sales, but using the right ones will definitely help. When you list items in our PayLoadz Store, there are many things you can do to help increase your sales. Taking advantage of our Featured Listing option, offering product samples and download trials, including product images, and well organized listing pages are all ways to help boost sales along with using keywords effectively.

Remember, customers will search the store based on what they need or want. Today, many online shoppers are quite savvy in searching, so they will type in exactly what they are looking for rather than just scrolling through various categories. This means that without effective keywords, these shoppers may never come across your products. Use the information above to avoid this and boost your sales!

One of the most important things you need to remember is that the Internet is always changing. There will always be new trends and fads about what technology is the best and what people are looking to buy. An affiliate program is a great way for you to continue to drive traffic to your site, or PayLoadz Store listings, and keep up your sales.

An affiliate program is a marketing tool used for online businesses that benefits both parties involved. Basically, an affiliate program helps drive more business to your product by having affiliates advertise for your goods on their sites. This helps you in that it can boost sales and helps the affiliates by generating extra income for them. Affiliate programs are simple and effective, which is why we’ve chosen to use an affiliate program at PayLoadz as well.

Some affiliates can even act as gateways for purchase. Sharing a portion of your sales with affiliates can definitely translate into a larger customer base and higher profits.

The Basics of Featured Listings

As an online seller of virtual goods, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about featured listings. Featured listings are used in online marketing, advertising, and even on various shopping platforms and payment gateways. When you’re selling digital products online, you want to offer not only as many options when it comes to making the purchase and paying, but also to stand out from the thousands of other retailers offering similar products. Featured listings can definitely help you with that.

If you’re new to PayLoadz, or even if you’ve been with us a while, we’d like to give you the basics on featured listings to help make their use a little clearer.

What is a Featured Listing?

The idea behind a featured listing is pretty simple. It’s just a listing that you pay a little extra for – you make an investment and your product is featured over others in its category. This helps draw more attention to what you’re offering. These types of listings allow for you to gain more exposure in the PayLoadz Store.

What is the Purpose of a Featured Listing?

The traditional idea behind the use of a featured listing is to highlight a product. Using featured listings on PayLoadz helps broadcast your products to potential (and returning) customers. The purpose of this is simply to increase your sales and boost your bottom line. Who doesn’t want to make a profit selling their virtual goods?

How Long Will the Featured Listing Last?

The length of time that a featured listing will last on PayLoadz really just depends on you. Your featured listing will last until your featured listing account is depleted of funds or you decide to take it down. You can renew your featured listing account as often as you like.

How Much Does a Featured Listing Cost?

The investment to have a featured listing is relatively small, especially when compared to other online stores that you may offer your products on. The minimum cost per click is $0.05 and maximum is $0.25. You can choose to pay any amount per click between 5 cents and 25 cents. If you need more visibility consider choosing a higher price and more ads will be displayed for your product. You can set the price for your Featured Listing by entering the price that you are willing to pay in the “Select Your Own CPC Rate” section on Product Details page. If you set it to zero, no ads will be shown.

Each time a shopper clicks the featured listing, the fee will be automatically deducted from your Featured Listing account balance.

How to Get a Featured Listing on PayLoadz

Getting a featured listing on PayLoadz is actually really easy, and a no-brainer. Every PayLoadz merchant should try a featured listing at least once to see how it can boost their sales. You can create one in no time once you log into your PayLoadz seller account.

So, there you have it. Those are the basics of using a featured listing with the PayLoadz system. And for a limited time, we’re offering to match the amount of your deposit to the featured listing account to all new users. So, if you put in $15, we will too. That way, you’ll have the benefits of $30 worth of featured listing services.

Increase Your Sales with Descriptive Titles

Using PayLoadz to sell your digital products and virtual goods is an excellent way to get in touch with both returning and potential buyers. Sitting from the comfort of your own home or office, you can list your goods easily (and free!) with us and watch the dollars roll in. But, that success doesn’t come all by itself. You do have to think about how you list your products and the descriptions you offer. In today’s economy, who wants to spend their hard-earned money without knowing what they’re actually getting? The answer is: not many people.

This is where descriptive titles make you a stronger seller. Using PayLoadz is easy enough, virtually stress-free. But, you do want to encourage new buyers to lay their money down and take your product home. Descriptive titles help enhance your product listing in the PayLoadz Store. Sure, you already have a product image, bold lettering, and have invested in featured listings for your products, but there’s more you can do. Try these tips out and see if your sales don’t increase noticeably.

So what makes a title descriptive enough!

First of all, you should know by now that selling products online is all about search. Potential buyers look for products using search engines as well as the search on PayLoadz store. Make sure that the product titles have just the right keywords so that they appear in the results when shoppers search for them. Think of yourself searching for the same product on the Internet and the keyword or phrase that you would enter in the search box to find that product. That keyword should be a part of your title.

Secondly, the title should explain what the product is all about. While using right keywords may help show your product in search engines; people may still not click on the link because the title may not be telling the whole story about the product. For eg: the titles ‘How to stop snoring’ and ‘How to stop snoring without surgery’ use the appropriate keyword ‘stop snoring’; however, the latter explains the content of the ebook better. This is what makes it a more descriptive title. Use the space we allow for a good title! Remember, the more descriptive and accurate the title, the more potential the listing has for buyers to click it and check out your product.

Another thing to remember is that spelling counts! While we won’t be giving you a spelling test anytime soon, misspelled words can make you lose out on sales. Spelling is so important because as buyers search for your products they will be typing particular keywords and phrases into the search tool. This means that if your product’s title contains misspelled words, your listing may not be displayed! Always double check the spelling before you list an item. If you think any of your titles may have misspelled words, go back and make edits!

A higher number of clicks to your listing will translate into a higher number of sales, which always helps your bottom line and profits! Using descriptive and accurate titles gives shoppers an idea of what they are purchasing. No smart shopper spends their money blindly – remember that and you’re on your way to lots of success with PayLoadz and your online sales!

How Product Sample Files Can Help Your Sales

Everyone loves a free sample, so why not enhance your sales on PayLoadz with product samples? It is no secret that product samples can only help your sales when offered. Though you need to get the word out about your virtual goods and work as hard as possible to ensure that people know what you have to offer, the product itself is often its own best salesman. Obviously we don’t mean that your product without all the hard work will magically sell itself, but the impression, atmosphere, and tools you give it all contribute to your success.

This is why product samples are so important, especially for virtual goods. Regardless of the cost of your product and what you put into your marketing efforts, product samples are usually the most cost-effective selling method out there, and have been for years. Think back to the days of door-to-door salesmen – didn’t they always have a product sample with them? The principle behind that strategy has not and will not change, regardless of technology!

It really doesn’t matter what type of product you sell in order to use a sample to get your foot in potential clients’ doors. Samples can be applied to anything and is especially useful for digital goods. Many customers would like to see what you’re offering and to test the download waters. Are there glitches? Is the software or file compatible with their computer system? Samples can answer all sorts of questions right off the bat.

One of the main draws of using product samples is that your whole advertising campaign can change. Once you offer free product samples, you can use the word “free” in your ads. Free stuff always brings in readers and visitors. That’s the hook – free samples. Go ahead and reel them in with your awesome products!

Offering product samples gets action. Just with a great title and description, a shopper may not be ready to commit to becoming a buyer. Throw a sample into the mix and you’ve got someone who is ready to learn a little more about your product. He or she will order the sample, download it, and won’t be able to move on without testing it out. This is a great way to spread the word about your product and gain new clients.

Product samples aren’t expensive to offer and will end up increasing your sales and overall investment in the long run. You can offer free downloads, product sample files, or a combination of both through the PayLoadz system. You can also use discount codes to those who have sampled your product for the full version. The possibilities are endless. In fact, PayLoadz makes it incredibly easy to set up a sample, offer discounts and free downloads. We encourage you to be creative with using product samples when selling your goods.
