THE FOUR-PART DIAGNOSTIC — "why no sale?" From "Digital Products — Basics", chapter 11 ================================================================ "It's not selling" is not a diagnosis. It is four completely different problems wearing the same coat, and each has a different fix. Wasting a month on the wrong one is the real cost. Walk the funnel from the top and find the FIRST place it breaks — that is the only place worth working on. You need two weeks of your platform's own numbers first. Then answer in order, and STOP at the first "no". PART 1 · WERE YOU SEEN? (traffic) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Visitors in the last 14 days: ______ Fewer than ~100? -> This is a TRAFFIC problem. Nothing else matters yet; a perfect listing nobody sees sells nothing. Do not touch the product or the price. Work only on being found (chapter 9). Stop here. 100 or more? -> You were seen. Go to Part 2. PART 2 · DID THE LISTING EARN A LOOK? (the shopfront) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Of those visitors, did a reasonable share actually open / view the listing, or bounce off the title and first image? Most bounced? -> This is a LISTING problem — the title, the first image, the first line. People are arriving and the shopfront is turning them away in the first seconds (chapter 7 of Basics — the 90-second window). Rewrite the title and the lead image. Stop here. They engaged? -> Go to Part 3. PART 3 · DID THE OFFER CONVINCE? (product · price · who) ---------------------------------------------------------------- People looked properly and still did not buy. One of three is off: [ ] WHO — it is aimed at everyone, so it is for no one. Re-read your product sentence; sharpen the "who". [ ] PRICE — it asks for more than the buyer believes it is worth, or so little it reads as low quality. Check it against the demand-check range. [ ] TRUST — nothing on the page makes a stranger believe it will work. No preview, no example, no proof. Fix the one that is most obviously true, and give it two weeks. Stop here. PART 4 · DID THE SALE SURVIVE? (delivery) ---------------------------------------------------------------- You are getting sales, but refunds or silence follow. -> This is a DELIVERY / PRODUCT problem. The buyer got it and it did not do the job, would not open, or was not what the listing implied. Re-run the finishing checklist on the file a real buyer receives. THE ONE LINE TO WRITE DOWN ---------------------------------------------------------------- "The first place it breaks is Part ____, because ____________________, and the one thing I will change is ____________________." That sentence is worth more than a month of guessing. ================================================================ Yours to keep — free, and no strings attached.
