Last but not least, at the end of the course, you are also going to learn several strategies that you can implement to generate more high quality traffic to your website.
First of all, before getting into the course, we need to ask ourselves this question, why should we learn how to build and design an E-Commerce store using WordPress and WooCommerce? Well, there are many reasons why but let me explain these three reasons. Firstly, as the global market has been transforming into a digital economy, more and more businesses start selling their products online which definitely requires high quality and compelling websites. Therefore, the demand for web development and web design skills in today’s market have been increasing very rapidly. Meanwhile, the second reason represents entrepreneurial perspectives. By selling your products or services online, you will be able to reach more potential customers which can be converted into more sales as long as you understand the strategy on how to drive a lot of high quality traffic and make appealing offers. Lastly, the third reason has something to do with having more authority over the products that you are selling. Let’s say you are selling your products on marketplaces like Etsy or eBay, even though it’s going to be easier to make sales since those big marketplaces already have existing traffic. However, they take a certain percentage of your sales and you also need to make sure your products are in compliance with their policies. But, if you are selling your products on your own website, you will get to keep your whole profit and you are the one that makes the rule.
