Hey product people,

I just tweeted a thread with 20 pro-tips for selling online. Lots of good stuff in there.

Here are 5 of my favorites. Enjoy :)

1) Just get started

Don't overthink it.

You don't need the perfect

• sales pitch

• research

• tools

Just start asking people to use or buy your product.

You'll get better over time.

5) People buy from friends

All things being equal, people buy from friends.

So, make a lot of friends ✨

• Reply to comments

• Answer questions

• Give ppl feedback

• Connect people

• Be helpful

8) Always qualify

To get to the right customers, push the wrong ones away.

Promoting yourself will offend: - People who won't buy what you're selling - People who don't like what you have to say - People who can't help you get where you're going Do it every day.

13) Create urgency

Answer the question, “Why now?”

You can do this with:

• Temporary discounts 💳

• Limited quantities 📦

• Limited time ⏱️

14) Be authentic to escape competition

✨No one is better at being you than you✨

• Share your wins

• Share your views

• Share your peeves

• Share your interests

• Share your mistakes

• Share your life events

20) Think long term

The transaction is cool.

Keeping people happy is cooler.

Think: human beings helping other human beings.

📌 You can read the whole thread on Twitter.

Btw, on Monday, I relaunched PM News.

Would mean a lot to me if you gave it a look.

It’s aimed towards working PMs & product designers so the price might be a bit steep for most people.

If you want to join but can’t afford it, email me :)

Thanks for reading Issue #29 🤗
