🛒 Over 99% of Shoppers Do This


Imagine you’re about to buy something special — let’s say a new coffee maker.

What’s the first thing you do?

Like millions of others, you probably pull out your phone or hop on your computer to read reviews, compare prices, and check different brands.

Here’s a fun fact: over 99% of shoppers conduct online research before making a purchase!

It’s no surprise, right? For example, as an earbuds fan, I can’t count how many videos and reviews I read before finally deciding on the perfect pair.

The thing is, this highlights a critical fact: If your business isn’t visible online, you’re likely missing out on a huge chunk of potential customers.

Now, if you run a business or sell things online, you want more people to find and buy from you. But it’s hard to get noticed when there are so many other businesses online.

You might be asking yourself:

đź’­ Which ways of marketing will work best for my money?

đź’­ How can I be different from other similar businesses?

đź’­ How can I get people to trust my business?

See, running a business can make your head spin sometimes with all the stuff you need to figure out!

But the good news is, you don’t need a massive budget or technical skills to make a big impact.

We wrote about 7 online marketing strategies for small businesses and explained how to use them to help your business grow, even if you’re a new business owner.

And that’s not only for them, even if you’re planning to start a business soon, these strategies might help a lot.

Anyway, that’s what updating your old content feels like. It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about polishing what already works. Most beginners keep chasing new ideas, thinking that’s how growth happens. But smart people? They revisit their old posts, improve them, and watch the results climb again and again. This is how...

Ever noticed how some newsletters just feel different? I still remember the first time someone hit reply to my weekly email and shared how useful and helpful it was for him. Suddenly, it wasn’t just me sending words out into nothing. Not just for me, newsletters have now become a real place for people to share and feel listened to. And now there’s a change happening. Newsletters aren’t just for sharing updates anymore. According to HubSpot, marketing experts say that in 2025, more newsletters...

Not long ago, someone on Pinterest commented, “do you think we can even grow a business without social media in 2025”. Just like that, my next blog post almost wrote itself. It reminded me that, sometimes your best content comes straight from your own audience. When you invite others to share their wins, struggles, or honest questions, things get way easier (and a lot more real). A recent research also found that 69% of people trust recommendations from creators, just like they trust advice...
