Observe the comments, optimize the process and repeat with other products. Here there is one YouTube advertising guide for electronic commerce that should help you with the technical process.

 

3.Improve the Awareness of your brand through niche influencers

Whether you own an e-commerce store, an affiliate marketing website or a personal blog, niche influencers will definitely improve the performance of your business.

John Farwell, service marketing specialist Essay Geeks, He commented on an important point here:

"Consider this for a moment: most people will follow someone with" authority. " If a doctor says a drug is okay, most people will just believe him. If a famous soccer player keeps promoting a shampoo, millions of soccer fans will start to create preferences towards that specific shampoo. Every time they make a decision, they choose the shampoo that the famous soccer player has promoted.

Therefore, you can easily approach blogs, magazines, or individuals who are closely related to your e-commerce niche, but not in direct competition. Negotiate a price and let them grow your brand awareness and reputation. Sales will come later.
