Why are my social networks NOT selling?

    I own a site that sells turnkey buddypress social networks. My sites are chic friendly, with a modern flare. BUT the sites are not selling? I dont know what to do anymore. I really want the sites to sell. Anyone have any ideas? I tried etsy already.

    Hi, I would like to give you some tips but for that I need some information. Does your sales website get enough high-quality traffic (enough interested people visiting)? Are your prices reasonable compared to competing offers? There could be so many factors involved in this complex problem, but I still have some general tips for you:
    - Make getting more interested visitors highest priority because without visitors there are no potential buyers
    - Set lower prices: Nowadays everyone wants to save money so you could gain a competitive advantage by offering your turnkey sites a bit cheaper than usual
    - Advertise: Let people know that your sales site exist and bring some potential customers to you, if you have the money to do advertising
    - Keep going: It often takes a long time and lots of work to make an online project successful. Even if you don't get many sales now, never give up but keep going.

    Hope this was helpful for you. Good luck!

    Chic friendly as in for girls? Because I don't know very many girls using buddypress or building websites at all for the matter. There are some out there, but how are they going to find you? That might explain the lack of sales. You could try expanding your templates to a broader audience.

    Lol. I'm guessing (hoping) he means Chic (said like sheek) as in classy, smart. :D

    The only way to increase sales at the beginning of a site is to get more traffic.

    Your sites might not getting better ranking. Do some SEO, get some quality traffic and get good PR. Your site will be sold out soon.
