Many of you people think that the hardest part of creating a blogshop is actually to create the blog. That is why many of you spend all your time basically trying to decorate your blog such as finding the perfect skin for your blog or typing catchy descriptions for your items you are selling.
Some of you even spend days taking beautiful pictures of the items you are selling, hoping that people would get attracted by the wonderful catalogs you provide.
However, once you have your blogshop set up with beautiful pictures and wonderful layout, you soon find out that you are not making any sales because NO one is actually visiting your blogshop! You stay optimistic, hoping that with each passing day, more and more people will start visiting your blogshop. After waiting for a month, there is still NO sale made at your blogshop. This is when reality will hit on you - Creating the blog is not the hardest part, it is the ability to attract tons of repeated customer that is really difficult!
You may sell the most beautiful blouse at the cheapest price, but nobody can actually buy your blouses if they cannot even find your blogshop! The internet is like a big shopping mall, filled with tons of shops(websites) that are selling all kinds of stuff. If you do not give clear directions to your customers on how to find your shop(blogshop), they would most probably not be able to find it, much less BUY your items!
This is the reason why 90% of all blogshops fail. They are unable to get traffic(people visiting their sites) to their blogshops. I have visited many beautifully created blogshops out there, selling wonderful clothings that would put even TopShop to shame. However, the owners are just not able to attract people to come visit their websites.
Today, I am going to share with you a free method for you to bring targeted customers right into your blogshops!
This method would cost you totally nothing, and you will be still able to attract streams of people to come to your blog regularly! This method of attracting people into your blogshop actually brings people who wants to buy your product. That means there will be more buying customers, as compared to browsing customers!
Let me ask you a little question first. What would be the first place that hits you when I ask you the question, "Where would you go if you wanted to do some shopping in Singapore?"
Many people will answer me, "Go to Orchard Road of course!".
Precisely, many people will choose to go to Orchard road, because it is packed-filled with shops offering a wide range of items from T-shirts all the way to luxury bags. It is so easy for you to find anything you want, because there are clusters of shops in Orchard, basically selling anything under the sun!
Coincidentally, there is an online version of Orchard Road as well, called the BlogShop Directories. Blogshop Directories are a compilation of the different types of online BlogShops/Shopping Websites that could be found on the web. It acts like a portal that allows its customers to easily look for items that they need.
Customers can just go to any of the blog directories to search for the type of products that they would like to get off the web, and they would be provided with the various links that brings them to the Blogshops/Shopping Websites that sells the products.
For example, you may own a Blogshop selling soft toys, and you posted a link of your BlogShop in all of this directories. When a person enters any of this Blog Directories and do a search on 'Soft Toys' , there would be a chance that your link would be shown to the person. This allows the person to visit your BlogShop ( and hopefully makes a sale for you).
There are many different Singapore Blog Directories that could be found on the web.
Some of the more Popular ones are:
1) Sgblog.com
2) TopSites.sg
3) Slops
4) Shops.Moblog.com.sg
5) Myzaak.com
6) Nuffnang.com
One of the good things about posting your blog/websites at this Blog Directories is that it is totally FREE-OF-CHARGE to do so! You do not have to pay a single cent to get your Blog listed on this popular websites, and you would be able to get a steady flow of people coming into your BlogShop daily!
Many of this Blog Directories have as much as 20,000 people viewing it everyday. Thus, you can be sure that there will be people visiting your blogs once you start having your BlogShop posted in all the major Blog Directories. Even if only 1% of this 20,000 people views your blog, you will have 200 people visiting your BlogShop in a day!
There are also other types of websites whereby you are able to post the link of your BlogShop at. If you would like to make your blog even more well-known, you can try posting your blogs on online Classified Ads sites such as:
1) TheWeb.com.sg
2) Gumtree.sg
3) OnlineAds.com.sg
4) SgBuyOnline.com
5) SingaporeOnlineClassified.com
6) 88db.com.sg
7) BuySellHub.com
Classified ads websites are like the online version of the Yellow Pages. Anyone who would like to advertise for their service/products can post on this websites for free! All you have to do, is to register and become a member of this websites so that would be able to list your BlogShops on this websites for FREE straight away!
In general, I find that BlogShop Directories are generally more effective into bringing people into your Blogshops. This is because, people who frequents BlogShop Directories are already in a ready mindset to buy, and they are just searching for the websites that provides this products. However, do not look down on the Classified ads websites, as they are able to bring huge traffic into your BlogShops as well!
If you are willing to put in the hardwork and get your Blogshop listed into all the online Blog Directories and Classified Ads sites, I can guarantee you that the amount of people coming into your BlogShop would increase, and your profits will SKY-ROCKET!
