Fix Your Product Descriptions | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/27

If your product descriptions read like someone copied a tech manual into your store, you’re not just boring people. You’re driving them away. Nobody wants to buy something that sounds like it was written by a toaster.

The Myth of Overnight Success | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/27

If you think your online store is going to start printing money the second you hit publish, you’ve been watching too many Instagram Reels from guys in rented Lamborghinis. That “I made $50K in my first week” story? It’s about as real as a unicorn on roller skates. You’re not going to roll out of bed, slap up a website, and retire by next Tuesday.

Product Titles That Sell | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/27

Here’s a quick test: go look at one of your product titles. If it sounds like it was written by a half-asleep intern who doesn’t know what a customer is, you’ve got a problem. Boring titles kill traffic. Vague titles bury your listings. And keyword soup? That just makes you look desperate.

The Power of Customer Reviews | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/26

If your store doesn’t have customer reviews, you’re not running a business. You’re running a guessing game. Shoppers show up, squint at your product, and wonder if they’re about to spend money on something that’ll show up broken, late, or not at all. Reviews fix that. They aren’t decoration. They’re proof. And in ecommerce, proof beats pitch every time.

Slow Page Loads Hurt Sales | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/26

You ever click on a website and watch it spin like it’s trying to solve a Rubik’s cube underwater? Yeah. Now imagine your customer doing that on your store. How long do you think they’ll stick around? Spoiler: not long enough to give you money.

Why Spocket’s Wrong for Your EBiz | Chris Malta's...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/23

Spocket promises to save your e-commerce soul with US and EU suppliers, faster shipping, and quality products. Sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. It’s a nightmare wrapped in a shiny package, and the biggest reason is simple: Spocket is a middleman that jacks up wholesale prices, slashing your profit margins to bits. If you want your retail business to succeed, you need to work directly with a real wholesale source, not a platform that’s quietly gutting your bottom line.

How to Spot a DFY Scam | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/22

You’ve seen the ads. “We’ll build your business for you while you sleep. No experience needed. Just sit back and watch the money roll in.” Right. And I’ve got a teleporting coffee maker that runs on buzzwords and broken promises. The pitch is always the same. Slick visuals, vague success claims, and a countdown clock trying to guilt you into clicking before your brain catches up. These DFY systems love to promise the world and deliver… maybe a WordPress theme with clip art. If that.

Why Blind Shipping is Important | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/18

You’re running a home-based ecommerce business, maybe from your kitchen table while your cat judges your life choices. You’re dropshipping, which means you’re SMART, and also means you’re not touching the inventory. But you’re still the one getting yelled at when the package shows up late or the widget breaks. And here’s the kicker: your supplier’s slapping their name all over the box, so your customer’s like, “Wait, who’s this guy? I’m buying from them next time!” Congrats, you just lost a sale

Giant AI Driven Stores Can’t Beat You | Chris Malta's...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/18

Let’s not pretend the ecommerce landscape isn’t full of giants. Amazon, Temu, AliExpress - they’re all using AI to crank out thousands of listings a day like they’re printing Monopoly money. But here’s the thing those bots and bloated warehouses can’t do: actually care about the people buying their junk.

Don't Blame the Algorithm | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/18

Everyone’s blaming the algorithm. Again. “My traffic vanished!” “I used to get clicks!” “Instagram hates small businesses!” Sure. Or maybe - just maybe - your funnel sucks.

Your Traffics Not Dead, It Moved | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/18

If your ecommerce traffic flatlined overnight, there’s a good chance your audience didn’t vanish. They just moved down the street while you were still yelling at your old mailbox.

Talk Builds Trust; Show Up Live | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/18

You can pour thousands into ad campaigns, obsess over color schemes, or tweak your CTA buttons until they sparkle. But if people don’t trust you? None of it sticks. That trust doesn’t come from fancy branding. It comes from showing up like a real person who gives a damn.

Price Higher Justify Harder | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/10

Everyone’s prices are climbing like they’re training for Everest. So why are you still stuck pricing your products like it’s 2015? Inflation isn’t just a news story, it’s your best excuse to stop lowballing yourself and start pricing like a real business owner.

Collab Without the Cringe | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/10

You don’t need a pile of cash to grow a home-based business. What you need is reach, and if you can’t buy it, you barter for it. No, I’m not talking about begging influencers with 200k followers and the personality of a lamp. I’m talking about partnering with people who are in the same trenches as you and want to win just as bad.

Vent Before You Fry | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/09

There’s a point in every home-based business where the wheels don’t just wobble, they come off. You’re staring at your screen, half-reading emails, dodging support tickets, maybe even crying into your coffee. You think about quitting. Or selling everything and opening a snow cone stand in another state. Totally normal. That’s not weakness. That’s overload. And the worst thing you can do in that moment? Go silent.

Beat Inflation with Focus | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/09

If inflation’s got your profit margins in a chokehold, stop trying to be Walmart. You’re not running a price war. You’re running a home-based business that actually needs to make money. And the broader your market, the faster inflation eats you alive. Here’s the trick: shrink your audience.

Write Like You Mean It | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/09

Let’s cut through the static: content still rules. Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard “content is king” since dial-up was a thing, but here’s what nobody tells you; it only rules if you do it right. And no, right doesn’t mean churning out another thousand-word piece of SEO oatmeal that reads like ChatGPT on melatonin.

Build It Yourself or Get Played | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/09

It’s tempting, right? Some fast-talking guru waves a shiny “done-for-you” store in front of your face and says, “You don’t have to lift a finger. We do everything for you. Sit back and let the cash roll in.” Sounds dreamy. Except it’s not a dream. It’s bait.

Quit Chasing Shiny AI Objects | Chris Malta's EBiz...

Chris Malta"s EBiz Insider Podcast ·

2025/05/08

Every week, somebody’s shouting about a new AI tool that’ll supposedly run your entire business while you sip cold brew in a hammock. Auto-generate your store! Launch a product in three clicks! Write 20 emails while you sleep! Sure. And I’ve got a time machine in my garage that runs on bad business advice.
