Many people generate extra (passive) income by running a webshop. But what if you take it up a notch? Can you make more money running multiple websites at the same time? Sure you can!
There are no special skills you need to have to run multiple webshops. Anyone can do it. But you have to be smart. You don’t want to end up behind your laptop for hours every day to keep all your webshops up and running.
Here are some tools and tricks to run multiple websites at the same time successfully
Get the basics right
Running a webshop can be easy money especially if you chose to run a shop with affiliate marketing. But you have to do it right. If you don’t know what you are doing, it will take up all your money and time and you will hardly receive any income out of it. But if you get the basics right, like link positioning and knowing your audience, you can use this knowledge on every new website you create.
Use the same template for multiple websites
When you create a new webshop you will have to start from scratch, only once. A template helps you design your new website, easily. But why start all over again with a new website? If you have a good website running, just use the same template for your other sites. If you use the same template for every website you already know how the template works and it probably will save you a lot of money because you don’t have to buy a new template for every webshop you create.
Integrate MPS
An MPS or master production schedule helps you to keep a bird’s-eye view of your businesses, in this case, your webshop. An MPS is a supporting document for your production planning and helps you schedule important tasks. For example, if you sell sweaters via your ecommerce store, it will tell you how many sweaters you have in the color blue, how many orders there are for blue sweaters and when you have to refill the stock to live upon the client’s demand. Because it works in the cloud the master production schedule is accessible by anyone you give access to. It is the perfect tool if your webshop is run by multiple people.
Pick a bestseller
In your shops, try to pick some best sellers. Give them a prominent place on the page. It will draw extra attention and will generate more clicks, even if they aren’t actually best sellers. You can choose a best seller which is convenient for you. For instance, choose a product that is cheap for you to ship. You can also use the best seller to promote your webshop online through a facebook ad or an Instagram post.
Hire a virtual assistant
If you want your shops to be successful, you sometimes need some help. A virtual assistant can help you by making monthly newsletters, create social media content, make appointments, do the administration, etc. Hiring a virtual assistant for chores helps you keep an eye on the bigger picture.
