Your ecommerce website probably is a gold vein waiting to be mined, but in order to get those "nuggets" out, you need a good map. Add to Cart Tuneup will be your guide for this expedition.
Don't buy into the idea that having millions of people visit your web store will make your cash register ring non-stop. If your site is not optimized to sell those prospects, all you have is website visitors. You need to convert them to customers, if you want to make money.
In this book, self-made web entrepreneur Luis Hernandez, Jr., shares valuable lessons he learned over 15 years of trial and error.
Back in "good ol' days," (ci. 1994), before most people had even heard about the Internet or the World Wide Web, Luis was busy at work trying to figure out how to build and launch a website, and by 1997 he opened the cyber doors to his online bookstore.
What started in the 3rd bedroom of his Central Florida home, was destined to grow and expand at a fast pace, and by the time Luis sold his online bookstore in early 2013, the business had grown considerably and relocated twice, with the last move in 2005 to a custom-built air-conditioned warehouse employing five people and having served more than 600,000 customers by the end of 2012.
Quite an accomplishment considering that Luis' webstore competitors included retail and book-selling giants such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, to name only two of the largest ones.
As Luis likes to say, "You can't help it but learn a thing or two about ecommerce in 15 years." But that "thing or two" actually translated into sixty valuable lessons and tips on how to optimize a retail web store in order to maximize sales.
What took Luis a decade-and-a-half to test, tweak, test again, prove, and learn, has been condensed into this book.
No fluff. No bells and whistles. This is a distilled, nuts-and-bolts, hands-on, no-nonsense guide to an "overnight" success formula, 15 years in the making.
If by implementing just one idea from this book, your web store captures a single additional sale every other day, your return on investment will be nothing short of incredible.
What would happen then if you were able to implement 5 ideas from this book?
Luis discovered early on in his career that it was much easier to spend time and effort learning what it took to motivate existing website visitors to make a purchase, rather than chasing traffic. So while other merchants wasted time and resources trying to generate more visitors, Luis made money!
At the end of the day it is not about being able to brag about how many people visited your store. It's about generating revenues and profits.

About the Author: Back in the days of CompuServe, GEnie, Prodigy and dial-up Internet access, Luis Hernandez, Jr. started researching a new thing called the World Wide Web. When you think back to the early days of the web, Google did not exist; Amazon.com was about to be launched; and the majority of websites really were nothing more than very simple web pages. But Luis wanted to be a part of this new world. Thanks to a book that covered the basics of HTML, Luis taught himself how to code a very simple web page over a weekend. His new web page even had a very cool-looking image. Problem was he was the only one who could see it, since he had no clue on how to "publish" it for the rest of the online world to see. Luis spent the next several months researching how to make his new web page available online, and by mid-1995, he was able to launch his first website, which was as plain and boring as the rest of them. From those humble beginnings, Luis started his career as an Internet Entrepreneur, launching an online bookstore in 1997. In ADD-TO-CART TUNEUP, Luis shares his 15+ years of experience as an Internet retailer with fellow entrepreneurs, focusing on what works in order to convert existing website visitors, into paying customers.
