Where to find e-commerce entrepreneurs in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps E-commerce entrepreneurs

E-commerce entrepreneurs want to build their own online store. However, they can't get it because they struggle with the technical aspects of setting up an e-commerce platform.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. StoreGenius.

E-commerce Platform Builder : StoreGenius is an intuitive platform that allows e-commerce entrepreneurs to easily create their own online store without the need for technical expertise. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce!

How to find E-commerce entrepreneurs

You can get insights about the pain points of e-commerce entrepreneurs if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where e-commerce entrepreneurs hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of e-commerce entrepreneurs, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: E-commerce Platform Builder.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
