Online Store: Everything About Selling Online THREAD 10

[traveltechie]

i opened my online pre-order shop last 2010 and continuous naman ako nakakakuha ng order thru GT, officemates and referrals. Last year, I got busy sa day job ko and nagclose down ang multiply so medyo napabayaan ko. now I'm trying to revive my online shop medyo nahihirapan ako mag-advertise, hindi na ako updated. will have to back read tips on selling in instagram

[msals2007]

Do you know any online site with escrow system / arangement for buyers and sellers? Dati ang alam ko auction.ph meron kaya lang close na ata yun di ba? Meron pa bang iba?

[khayzee]

hi mga sis.. any advice or tip po. 

I'm planning to start my shop, and plano ko din ionline to. How do you start? Dba better kung may proof of shipping, e pano kung starting pa lang?
pag tru courier, anong courier ang ok at san ko makikita mga list ng fee?
is it right to say na for wholesale at retail lang, nabasa ko kasi may mga issue pala sa reselling.

what other things ang kailangan aralin pag online selling?
should i focus muna sa shop ko and saka na lang ang online?

sa mga may shop, may money detector ba kayo pag personal ang transaction?


Thanks sa sasagot

Sis khayzee, it's best to start by having your own website pero kung di kaya ng budget, you should post on almost every network -- Sulit, FB, IG, Twitter, Ayosdito, Ebay, etc. Regarding proof of shipping, sell and ship to your friends or network first, those who trust you.

Ang kailangan aralin sa online selling? How to set policies, different payment methods and shipping methods.

Hello online sellers,

Pansin nyo iba na an gmga buyers now? Always ask HM even if the prices are posted already.
Getting all your details (payment and all), asking a lot, asking pictures and then after that sasabihin na lang na "sige po sabihan ko na lang po kayo pag order na ako.".

Patience lang talaga katapat hehe.. nakakatawa lang minsan. hehe

[riksy07]

Naku! Ganyan nga halos lahat ng buyer. Daming tanong, tumatawad pa. Tapos ang ending magsasabi nalang if bibili. Nakakapagod din magreply kasi as much as possible I reply agad agad, real time. Pero disappointing naman ang ending.

On the upside, I'm happy kasi kung sino sinong sellers and kung ano anong products yung naeencounter ko. Masaya maki-network sa mga sellers. Parang I'm making new friends. Tapos nakipagdeal pa ko na if bumili sila sa kin, iaadvertise ko sila palagi.

I'm planning to open up for resellers na rin. More or less one month palang ako sa business and sa one month na yun as in pagseset-up palang talaga yung nangyari. Slowly nagiging stable na my online shop. Hopefully, makabenta pa ng mas marami this july.

I have my shop sa facebook and sa instagram. Tapos i have my own self hosted blog so doon ko na rin ilalagay ang online shop ko. I'm the only one designing it and setting up. Di ko afford magbayad sa ibang tao to set it up and I want to be hands on kaya ako na lang. Manageable naman ang pagset up ng online shop.

I'm selling TIY/DIY sandals, by the way.

Hello sisses. I started an online shop 2 weeks ago. Sa FB lang and instagram ako since bago palang. Ask lang sana ako ng tips kung paano dumami followers lalo na sa IG. Sa FB medyo hirap ako kasi pag nag invite ako ng friends to like my page, karamihan hindi nagrerespond. Mas madali sa IG kaso nga lang matagal. Baka may masuggest kayo kahit yung nag ooffer ng paid ads.. Thank you!

[o5m_m5o]

Hello... our FB page currently has 14k likes.

Nag start lang nung november, pero we only actively
promoted starting March (Feb konti).

If you want to promote, don't try to promote by PM...
Mejo mahirap unless supportive friends talaga sila.

Promote it by phone or in person, if they regularly
visit the page, magbigay ka ng something.

Sharing and commenting on posts by your visitors
important, para maging viral ang page.

[Chicky_C]

Yes. Never ever promote by PM. If some one will report you, you might get suspended by Facebook.

Hi mga sis, hindi na ako new sa online selling. Nag start ako last 2010 sa fb and okay naman ang kita parang hobby ko lang siya,nakaka adik ang magbenta online eh. Nakaka excite pero need ko sya i-stop kasi to focus more on my review.

By the way, I just started again my online store this month mga 2nd week of July, puro dress ang benta ko and nag onhand talaga ako ng 35 pcs. I have website (DIY),FB page, instagram and 2 fb accounts. Nahihirapan na ako makabenta now not just like before. Sobrang dami na ng online stores. Naka benta naman ako 13 pieces palang, ngpurchase din ang ibang friends ko.. Kung hindi ako nagpa ads sa fb hindi siguro makabenta. Pero di parin ganun ka effective ang FB ads. Marami ng likes ang fb page ko, kaya lang ang mga girls palagi lang like ng like sa mga photos..hindi naman bumibili.

I almost give up na and I was thinking na magpapa sale na lang ako this last week of July. Ano kaya mali sa strategy ko mga sis? Dati naman effortless ang pagbenta,post mo lang dami na mag pm or comments..now grabe ang kompitensya. Pinipilit ko maging hindi negatibo pero namuhunan kasi ako. Sana maubos na ang stocks or kung hindi sana mabawasan na. Nakita nyo ba yung syala collections sa fb mga sis? Prang malakas ang shop nila pero mahal ang mga dress and hindi ako satisfied sa quality. Maganda lang sa picture. Nakabili na kasi ako doon eh. Anyway, Thanks I found this thread.

Tip sa nahihirapan

Old rules of selling:

Sell what people are looking for...
Not what you think people are looking for.

Check first kung alin ang mabenta, then
start selling a  small number first.

Kung ok then tuloy, if not try another type to sell.


Regarding sa FB, yes the rules have changed.

Dati pwede kang magpost lang, marami agad
magiinquire kasi maraming makakakita
(if you have an FB page makikita mo yung
number of views ng bawat post mo, to verify
what I'm saying)

Nowadays, hindi na po ganun...


So para mapataas yung views ng posts mo, either
(1) advertise, or
(2) make your posts more visible to more people
-- which requires a well thought-out strategy.

Includes like-baits, comment baits, share baits.

The more na mag like (though not as strong as before)
the more na mag comment, the more na maraming
mag share (last one is obvious), the more na
maraming makakakita ng post mo.

We do a lot of stuff to make strategy (2) work for
us, kaya daily marami kaming orders from our
FB page.

[darna88]

kelan nagchange ng rules ang FB and ano changes?

so if ikaw magstart kapa lang anong klase need mo gawin account sa facebook personal account nalang kesa business account right??..para mas sure na mas madami makakakita kada post and upload mo

[o5m_m5o]

Before March 20ish...

Pag nagpost ka sa FB page mo, close to 90% ng nag-like sa page mo
makikita agad yung post mo.

Ngayon it's weighted:
worthy of showing your post to those who liked ba?

Parang posts din ng friends, not all are showing in
your feed.

So you have to either:
1. advertise
2. learn how to make your posts view-worthy
-- learn some of the strategies that make your
post get more likes, comments, and shares
-- as much as possible post pictures
-- etc

Just started my very first business. Hosting an event and we''l do pre-order cloth diaper in very affordable price. Perfect for reseller. So excited.

[tinsantos10]

Hi sis! May alam npba kayong online shops na tumatanggap ng pabili from US? Specifically sa Amazon. Pati sana within 1 month andito na sa Pinas yung order  tia!

[gummybearzz13]

Kami naman we have just started selling online last April 2014 lang. Not sure lang kung anong exact date eh, pero so far naka gain kami ng 2k likes sa page for a short period of time without getting paid ads.  We are selling wholesale clothes and business packages din ng RTW na sobrang baba ng price kasi direct talaga kami kaya marami agad naging clients. Most of our clients din galing ng province, pero siyempre ang target din namin yung mga nasa manila.  Kaya nag create kami ng another page na ang focus naman eh retail shopping, since we are direct mas malaki tutubuin namin.

Sa ngayon, nag plan kami na wag mag offer for resellers kasi mejo hassle.  Kaya for now, nag rerecruit kami ng  marketers na lang where in mag kakaroon ng commission yung may ma irerefer samin.

  For those who have just started ng business online baka makaless kayo sa mga items namin kung interested kayo, PM niyo lang ako.

[kim_trasher07]

hello mga sis, I need your advice

may client ako na nagorder sa akin. nagbayad naman siya after giving the invoice, then may pinost kasi ako na another product. Nagustuhan niya. and nag message siya sa akin na order din daw siya nun and kung pwede isabay na sa order nya kasi for shipping na that day. Anyway nagtiwala naman ako na babayaran niya rin that day, Tsaka marami akong clients na ganun minsan nauuna ko pang ipaship. to cut the story short. Di siya nagbayad (nagmessage lang siya sa akin na send niya daw receipt later) but till now wala ng paramdam. 1 week na rin, di siya sumasagot sa mga pm and message even cALLs. pero nagriring naman yung phone niya.

What should I do? should i post her na ba? or magwait ako nag may pay siya for 1 more week

[Chantzy]

I never ship out items unless fully paid na. Mahirap kasi magtiwala.  Dami na scam sa online selling.

I plan to have my own online site. Pero still searching, sissies ano na natry nyo for hosting and all, easier sana

[tinsantos10]

^sis bigyan mo siya ng warnig and deadline. Sabihan mo siya na kapag di siya nakapagbayad sa ganitong date, ipopost mo siya sa fb.
