I’ve worked hard getting the better items I thought was on here. Having 80% of them decently underpriced compared to other stores. Still nothing. I made a site 3 days ago that’s already 10 sales in and I’ve barely done a thing for it. What’s wrong with this one l?
Topic summary
A store owner is frustrated after investing significant effort into product selection and competitive pricing (80% below competitors) but receiving zero sales after launch. In contrast, another site they created 3 days ago with minimal effort has already generated 10 sales.
Community diagnosis points to conversion and visibility issues rather than product/pricing problems:
• Discoverability: Ensure the store is indexed in Google Search Console and promoted through social media, word-of-mouth, and content marketing (blogs, samples).
• Trust signals: Add customer reviews, trust badges, high-quality lifestyle images/videos, and clear benefit-focused product descriptions instead of just specifications.
• Conversion optimization: Implement urgency cues (limited stock, time-sensitive offers), ensure smooth mobile checkout, maintain consistent branding, and test different layouts through A/B testing.
• Traffic quality: Verify that traffic sources are targeting high-intent audiences rather than broad, low-converting clicks. Check homepage clarity with strong CTAs and streamline the checkout process to remove friction.
The discussion remains open, with members requesting more details about the store’s current setup and marketing efforts to provide more targeted advice.
Make sure its indexed with google search console, its free. Promote it on social media, talk about your products with people, family, and friends. Give out samples or start a blog.
It’s frustrating when pricing and product quality are on point but sales still don’t come through — I’ve seen this a lot with new stores.
From what you described, it sounds like the issue is less about your products and more about trust signals and conversion flow. Even if prices are great, visitors need confidence to buy.
A few things that can make a big difference:
-
Clear, benefit-focused product descriptions instead of just specs.
-
High-quality lifestyle images/videos that show the product in use.
-
Urgency & scarcity cues (limited stock, time-limited offers).
-
Visible trust badges & reviews to reduce hesitation.
-
Smooth mobile checkout — most traffic is mobile, and small friction kills sales.
-
Consistent branding so the store looks cohesive and trustworthy.
When I work with struggling stores, we also run A/B tests to see which offers, layouts, and creatives convert best — this often turns a “dead” store into a steady earner within weeks.

Maybe you found out the wrong direction to get sales and target customers. Can you share more details about what you did for the website? We can chat here more constructively.
Got it — here’s the reply without any dashes:
That’s a solid observation 
If it’s already selling well in retail, then the product is proven, the website just isn’t translating that trust yet. A few things you can do:
• Get your homepage to immediately showcase the product, its unique value, and a clear “shop now” CTA.
• Add social proof like reviews, photos from buyers, or even a quick UGC-style demo video.
• Recheck your traffic sources since broad ads often bring clicks but not buyers. Focus on a narrower, high-intent audience.
• Test your checkout flow because even small friction like extra clicks or unclear shipping info can kill conversions.
Once you align those, you should start seeing the same demand online as you do offline
