Ecommerce Evolved
Despite the millions of dollars that are spent every year on ecommerce software, as a whole this industry is antiquated and out-of-date.
Most ecommerce business owners are still doing things in the same way they were done back in the early dot com days—but those methods don’t work anymore! There is so much more to running an online store than building a website and filling it with products.
This book is the playbook for capitalizing on this evolution. It contains a simple, repeatable and proven formula that will help you build, grow and scale your wildly profitable ecommerce business in today’s competitive market.
The book is composed of 4 parts. Each part consists of several chapters, each focusing on a particular topic.
The book opens with the 12 Principles of Ecommerce, which were developed after working with over 10,000 different businesses. These principles…of which we can almost guarantee you’re violating at least half…are what differentiate thriving e-tailers from their mediocre competitors.
