7 Beginner Mistakes That Can Kill Your Sales (And How to Avoid Them)

Fix these early, and you’ll sell faster — with less effort and more confidence.

🧠 Why Most People Don’t Sell (Even With a Good Product)

Você tem o produto pronto.
Você até tenta divulgar…
Mas as vendas não vêm.

Não é culpa do produto — é erro no processo.

Vamos identificar os 7 erros mais comuns e mostrar como corrigir cada um deles agora.

❌ Mistake #1 – No Clear Offer

You’re selling a “template pack” or a “PDF” — but what problem does it solve?

📉 Generic = Ignored
✅ Specific = Sold

🛠 Fix:
Make your offer outcome-based.

🔁 Instead of:

“30 Canva Templates for Coaches”

✅ Say:

“30 Editable Canva Templates to Book More Clients on Instagram (Even If You Hate Design)”

 

❌ Mistake #2 – Using PLR Without Any Customization

If your product looks like it was downloaded 10 minutes ago… people won’t buy.

🛠 Fix:

• Change the name

• Swap fonts/colors in Canva

• Add your name or logo

• Write a quick intro page or bonus

✅ Spend 1 hour making it feel like yours = 10x more professional

❌ Mistake #3 – Weak or Missing Sales Page

Some beginners just drop a checkout link.
Others use long copy that doesn’t connect.

🛠 Fix:
Use a proven sales page structure:

1. Headline with clear benefit

2. Problem + solution

3. What’s included

4. Bonuses

5. Price anchor

6. CTA

7. FAQ

8. Guarantee (if any)

✅ Use your PLR’s sales page template — but edit key parts to reflect your voice and audience.

❌ Mistake #4 – No Follow-Up

You get a few people interested… and then disappear.

📉 You’re missing sales that could’ve closed 24–48h later.

🛠 Fix:

• Create a 3-email follow-up sequence

• Send reminder DMs

• Add urgency (e.g., bonus expires, discount ending)

✅ Example follow-up message:

“Just a quick reminder — your special access to [Product Name] ends tonight!
Here’s your link: [checkout]”

 

❌ Mistake #5 – No Visual Identity

You posted… but your product looks like a boring PDF with no personality.

🛠 Fix:

• Use Canva mockups

• Add product previews (even screenshots)

• Use bold, clean fonts and consistent colors

• Design a visual thumbnail or product box image

✅ People buy with their eyes first. Make your product look like it belongs in a store.

❌ Mistake #6 – Sending Traffic Without Direction

You’re posting or running ads, but where are you sending people?
If it’s to a home page, linktree, or confusing layout — sales drop.

🛠 Fix:

• Always send traffic to a specific sales page

• Make sure every button leads to your checkout

• Use clear CTAs on all promo materials

✅ Example CTA for reels or stories:

“Click the link to download instantly — no subscription, one-time payment.”

 

❌ Mistake #7 – Underpricing or Overcomplicating

Some beginners price too low to feel “safe” — others add so many things that it becomes overwhelming.

🛠 Fix:

• Start with a clean offer at $17–$27

• Keep it simple: 1 main product, 1 bonus

• Raise price after social proof or demand

✅ Strong offer formula:

“Get 30 done-for-you story scripts + bonus content calendar — just $27, one-time only.”

 

✅ Quick Fix Summary

📌 Take action. Tweak what’s broken.
Then relaunch and watch your product finally move.
