Hey,
I vanished for quite same time from here, I'm happy to say I was able to scale my online biz from ±4k/mo to stable 18-21k/mo, and growing.
Nothing to sell you... although I'll admit, 95% of my revenue is from selling info products, don't blame me.. if there's a reliable way to get you where you wanna be, you should jump on it as well.
I've decided I'll share some things I've learned along the way.
Rarely responding to DM's very busy, I'll be here only if I want to share something.
With that being said here are some things that either saved me or made me very interesting amounts of money:
Not having a backup payment processor:
One of my videos on Instagram went viral, and my payment processor put my account on hold because of unusual amount of transactions. Right now I have 3 different websites ready with different payment gateways. If anything happens all I need to do is update all my links so they point to the backup site.
Not having a order bump:
I didn't realize how much sales I lost till I tried it. Adding an extra product option people can select at the checkout was a quick win. Every third person that made a purchase decided to click "Yes, I want extra stuff for $27".
Not doing A/B testing:
I was quite confident that my opt-in page is well optimised. It had a custom built pure html/css page to make sure the page loads under 0.5 sec. It had all the benefits listed. But I didn't test multiple headlines. Before the split test I got $2.3 back for every $1 spent on ads. After the split test (with winning headline) I got to $4.5 for every $1 spent back-end not included.
Not having a full 30 day money back guarantee:
You can say whatever you want, but if you don't offer a money back guarantee, your product is most likely dog shit, and doesn't give people results.
I know this is controversial for info products especially, but you should have at least action-based MBG.
For example: I know that if people follow steps inside my program they'll se results, so right now I offer an action based refund meaning. If they want their money back sure not problem, just show me that you've actually done the things you should, and it didn't work for ya.
And this is very clear before the checkout, I tell people hey if you want a refund, you have to show me that you've actually did what I've told you, and I'm doing this because I know you'll get results if you do what I say.
Of course if the person is a dick, and starts tellin you he will charge-back, you should refund him ASAP, not worth it dealing with idiots.
This is only like 4 out of 34 things I have written down to my notes... So, if you guys want more just comment or like so I know this is valuable for you.

Using push instead of pull:
Not being customer success focused:
Not having a "Kill Box":
