Welcome to Ecommerce Unlocked: your free ecommerce advertising and marketing course
E-commerce is booming.
There are currently 24 million e-commerce websites. And since only 12% of sales are made online, you can expect massive growth in the coming years.
So if you want to build an online business, one of the best is an e-commerce business.
But how do you market it? How do you increase your traffic? And most importantly, how do you make sales?
Of course, you can use tools like Ubersuggest to help you, but what do you do if you need step-by-step instructions from the start … especially if you have little or no marketing experience?
Introduction to Unlocked E-Commerce
Over the next 4 weeks, I will teach you how to market an ecommerce website. From SEO to paid ads to CRO … I will cover all aspects of e-commerce marketing.
And of course everything is free. π
E-Commerce Unlocked is similar to my free SEO training course SEO Unlocked.
But unlike SEO Unlocked, a 7 week course, I thought it would be more efficient to give you the training you need in just 4 weeks.
So I'll be posting new videos every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday to teach you how to get more traffic and sales to an ecommerce website.
And just like SEO Unlocked, E-Commerce Unlocked includes worksheets, cheat sheets, PDFs, spreadsheets and everything else you need.
Here's the first lesson you can see below:
Make sure that you download the corresponding worksheets here.

How can I participate during the 4 weeks?
You'll see videos released every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The videos are about 10 to 15 minutes long on average, so it shouldn't take you more than an hour a week to watch them, including doing homework and worksheets.
To make the job easier, the worksheets and homework are pre-filled so you know what to do every step of the way.
Make sure you complete each task. Watching the videos is not enough.
Sure, the videos will teach you theories and strategies, but you also need to learn how to implement and implement them. So I want you to do the worksheet and homework.
Overall, I ask you to commit one hour every week. If you're new to marketing, maybe an hour and a half, which should be doable. π
Once you've completed the 4 weeks (12 videos), you'll know how to market an ecommerce website and even sell products online on websites like Amazon.
