I could go for weeks on end with no sales. Does anyone on here do well enough to leave the other big “E” site. I could die waiting for a sale on here and would like to know what I can do to improve productivity. I tried the membership and it did not increase anything. I some times don’t even go on here because I have no activity. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry that you are not realizing the sales you had hoped. July is definitely one of the slower months in eCommerce. Even so, there are things that you can be doing now that will benefit you short term and also serve you well as we move into the busier eCommerce months.
One of the most common questions on Bonanza is how to increase sales. It is difficult to form one response that will work for everyone as everyone’s situation and business is different.

To increase your sales you need to optimize your listings for internet searches. Titles shouldn’t include all caps words, characters etc. You should make sure you use good keywords. Signing up for advertising is a way to bring in sales. Waiting for sales isn’t going to do you any good. You have to be active in your booth, like adding new items or updating old ones and have good listings.

In my experience, 90% of my sales have originated from Google Shopping. You don’t pay anything unless your item sells, and you can choose the percentage you pay if something does sell.
You also do need to self-promote on this site. It’s not like the big E, where buyers just arrive on your [URL removed]
I use Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest on a regular basis to get my products seen.

In my experience, I have found small inexpensive google ads work to draw traffic to your booth and that helps a great deal to increase sales. Remember your product pictures need to be really good along with your presentation of what your selling, well written. Happy selling!

Well, Bonz is in the business of making money and if WE ARE NOT MAKING MONEY, BONZ IS NOT MAKING MONEY. I don’t think there’s anything extra BONZ can do. We all just have to sit back and wait for the online customer to find our product. If it’s special or collectible, then you will have sales. But if it’s one out of many of the same, then the competition will pass you buy – IMO. Things are slow for me too. But, they always have been slow on this site. I get more Sales Action on the A* and E* sites. Just saying.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
