Speaking as a manufacturer running a drop ship program for our product line, we have many successful online store owners. I have noted the following key characteristics of the successful stores: Quality Product landing pages - Those that use SEM to promote their stores make sure that when a prospect is in the consideration phase of purchasing, the content is well presented. These stores that sell well always have the following content on the landing page: Clear Pricing Honest Reviews Product FAQ Multiple High Resolution images Video Highly Detailed Item Specifications Warranty and Returns Info Customer Service details Shipping Details 2. Sense of Urgency - If you give people incentives to buy NOW, they buy. 3. Strong and Visible Call to Action - The more creative the CTA the better the conversion rate 4. Keep the pricing simple. You will sell more when the pricing eliminates commas, periods, and cents. i.e. $49 is mentally more appealing than $49.99 5. The best stores have great content in the blog, on social, and on the video sites. Our best partners run a strong media channel that funnels prospects to the store. It really is about content at the end of the day. 6. Branding is important. Take advantage of partner suppliers who have a great brand and promote it in your SEO and SEM. It works! 7. Have a strong email followup cycle on every purchase. Curate your customers, treat them right and your LTV will grow. 8. Customer Service matters most. Our best partners offer Email, Text, Social, and Phone support. I could go on, but these are the top points in my experience working with our drop ship partners. More on reddit.com

Here is how this information can be made more useful. Take each of the stores mentioned and study their bestselling products using the Commerce Inspector Chrome Exension. Then go to each of their Facebook pages and use the Page Transparency option to see what ads they are running. Take inspiration (not copy) the ads that seem most appealing and engaging into new products for your store that are similar to the top selling from these guys. There is a reason why mentorship is one of the most powerful tools for learning. Having someone blaze a path and share their knowledge is game changing. If you don't have a mentor then this can be used as a method to take that knowledge another way. Do this regularly and you will be a higher level entrepreneur in just a few months. Good luck!

A lot of them sell what I think I would find on As Seen On TV. Is that the way to go? Because I certainly didn't do that and I definitely am not a success yet. :/
