Someone was asking me the other day how to automate a product purchase with WooCommerce and Stripe.

I thought it was a great question and wanted to find out how to do that.

If you know me, I’m more of an explorer and like to discover new things with an audience.

I know it would be great to have a proper step by step guide to do this, but I’m sure there are hundreds of results if you google the problem.

Follow along my journey to discover how to do all this.

You’ll need a WordPress site

Before you go any further, you’ll need a WordPress site that you can manage yourself.

It’s true that WordPress isn’t super simple to setup but it’s very powerful that same reason.

There are many places to get a WordPress hosted server but you can just get it at Click eCourse.

I don’t know about you but I want freedom from my day job.

Of course it’s critical that your focus be on helping other get results, at some point, you’ll have to create a sales pitch on something.

Perhaps you can just replicate what others are doing.

This is especially true if you are in a Network Marketing business.

But what if you want to stand apart or you aren’t in an MLM?

Where do you start?

There’s certainly many ways to do this but first things first.

Just like any other marketing task, you’ll need to define, or rather decide and define, your avatar.

This is the “who your pitch is for” and should be as clear as possible.

The clearer and more defined the better.

If you’re like me, you’ll first feel you don’t want to exclude anyone by defining your avatar.

Who is your pitch for?

I know, it’s for everyone.

The problem is if you make your pitch for everyone, it just won’t work.

Trust me, I know!

That’s why...

Time to setup your Pinterest business ads for retargeting.

Just like most other social media platform with Ads, Pinterest allows you to retarget people.

Retargeting is the reason you see ads from the same people over and over.

You can set that up to.

Why should I use retargeting?

You must have heard about the number of exposures rule, no?

Well, the marketing gurus will tell you that someone will only buy from you if they see your offer at least X times.

This X times varies depending on your industry and the competition but it’s around 5-10 for most online markets.

Of course, it varies depending on your brand and many factors.

But, the truth is that no matter what you sell, people will not buy the first time they see your offer.

Setup your Pinterest Business account

Before you can do any of what’s suggested on this page, you’ll need to enable your business account.

The process is quite simple ad is free.

As explained on this Pinterest...

I remember when I started using Pinterest 5 years ago.

I’m not sure if the platform was much different back then, but I just started pinning pins to boards.

I thought that’s what everyone was doing.

I didn’t post much because I didn’t know how to create good content.

Then there was video

Well, I’m not sure if video was always there, but I discovered you could post videos on Pinterest.

At the very least, they started wanting video and rewarding you for posting videos by showing your videos to others.

Just like any other social platform, your content is presented to others on their “feed” based on engagement and content type.

From 6 to 100,000 views

It was a wild ride.

I hadn’t been active on Pinterest in a few years and it was showing my profile with only 6, that’s right six, monthly views.

Even though I had over 4000 followers, I was getting on 6 views!

Crazy right?

Anyway, I started posting videos every day, some days a...

Have you heard that you should be running a 5 day challenge?

Seems so easy when you join one and go through it, right?

Then you start thinking about putting one together yourself and just like everything else you tried, you get lost in the details and never start it.

What if I told you that running a 5 day challenge wasn’t hard to do?

You already know that, but what you’re missing is how can you make it not hard.

It’s all about knowing the steps to take

Just like anything else, I’ve learned that to make something simple, you just have to break it down into steps.

It might not make is easy, but it does make it simple.

So, here are the steps you need to go through.

1- Choose the topic

2- Define the win at the end

3- Clarify the 4-5 steps they will go through and the wins they get each day

4- Create your Facebook group

5- Create the 5 day course in Click eCourse

6- Invite people to the 5 day Click eCourse page

It looks easier that done but...

It’s every marketer’s dilemma.

You want to create a course but you’re worried you’ll miss something and so you never get it done.

I bet you’ve heard about the idea to create just the first lesson and then pre-sell it to later create the rest.

That certainly is a great idea but no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get started.

You’re frozen into the “where do I start” state!

Does that sound like you?

Pull the band aid off fast

Well, if you’re like me and countless others and just want it to be perfect, you’re not alone.

I mean, I’m not like that anymore because I did learn how to pull that band aid off, so let me tell you why it’s important to do that.

You’re 6 years old and know the band aid has to come off.

You are so scared that it will hurt or of what’s underneath it that you cry just at the thought of pulling it off.

Your mother says it’s better to pull if off in one quick motion because each little...

I tell ya, there’s a lot of different things being taught online.

How you navigate that is one of the hardest things to do.

I know it took me a while to figure out what worked for me, and I’m still learning.

It’s definitely easier to learn from someone else’s mistakes though.

I’d like you to learn from mine.

What do you really need to do online?

First, let’s clarify what you really need to be doing online.

This isn’t all you need to do, but it’s the basics and where you should start.

1- Have something you can give them that they want.

2- Offer it to them for free in exchange for their email.

3- Get their name and email

4- Have a conversation with them to find out if you can help them.

5- Let them ask you how they can buy what you have to sell.

I’ve learned over years the best ways to accomplish these steps.

Let’s go through each one together.

Step 1: Have Something you can give them that they want.

I’ve sure you’ve...

I’ve been doing online marketing for over 5 years and I learned a lot since starting out.

Maybe you are starting out too and have the same thoughts I did back then.

I’ll be able to quit my job in 90 days!

I’m the exception – I’ll take the right actions faster than others!

Yeah, that’s what I thought to in the beginning.

How it all started for me!

I remember it well, in the summer of 2015 I had to take a job in Montreal, 12 hours away from my family.

My wife wanted to stay in PEI so we thought it was the only option we had.

Back then, I had been trying to build an MLM for years in the traditional way but I was excited to be going to “the big city”.

I’d surely find people out there more easily than in my little town I thought.

For a while, I worked it – talking to the new people I worked with, inviting them to the “Saturday training” and the “Wednesday business opportunity meeting”

It probably could have worked but I...

How do you know if your online efforts are working?

I post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram not to mention TikTok, my blog and a dozen other places.

My goal with all that is to get people to visit my blog and join my email list.

So, how do I know what is working best?

Analytics to the rescue! BTW, Google Analytics is FREE to use.

What is Analytics anyway?

Let’s make sure we are on same page here and explain what I mean by Analytics.

The term analytics itself means something like “numbers to analyze”.

It’s the words “Analyze” and “metrics” put together.

I’m sure you know that analyze means to investigate, research and understand something.

And Metrics is a means of measurement using numbers.

So, when we talk about web sites, analytics refers to counting visitors, counting what they do and in what sequence.

What does Google Analytics do?

As far as Google Analytics is concerned, they track all those good...
