When your analytics say it is time to retire a product from the page
Some products earn their place on your storefront and some just take up room. Four checks in per-product analytics that make the decision for you.
What your join.store.fan affiliate link actually does, step by step
Every affiliate gets a short link at join.store.fan/yourcode. How a referral is tracked, when commission reaches you, and what the link cannot do.
Six things to change after Fanzy AI builds your first storefront
An AI first draft is a starting point, not a shop. Work through the header, the card order, the pricing and three other spots that need a human decision.
Using ?ref= links to send people somewhere other than the sign-up form
The referral parameter works across store.fan marketing pages, so you can point a sceptical reader at pricing or the features tour instead of the sign-up form.
Updating a lesson after the course has already sold to students
Your material dates and your students do not want a version two purchase. How to replace a lesson so everyone who already bought gets the new one.
Ten books a month on Pro: building a catalogue without the filler
Pro raises the studio to ten books a month — enough to bury your storefront in weak titles. Spend the volume on a series, a bundle and a lead magnet.
Moving to a custom domain without losing the search traffic you have
Your storefront and product pages are statically rendered and indexable, so a domain change is a real move. What to do before, during and for the month after.
Root domain or subdomain: where your storefront should actually live
yourname.com or shop.yourname.com, and what each one implies for the site you may build later. A decision worth ten minutes now rather than a migration later.
How to run launch day from your phone without touching a laptop
Do the building the week before, then spend the day itself watching orders and answering questions in the iOS app. A realistic hour-by-hour plan.
Answering buyers from your phone without sounding rushed or curt
The iOS app puts your inbox in your pocket, which is a mixed blessing. Rules for what you answer on the spot and what genuinely waits for a keyboard.
Getting real signal from analytics while your numbers are still tiny
Forty views and two buyers is not a trend, but it is not nothing either. How to read a small week honestly, without talking yourself into a conclusion.
Making your storefront readable, and not just good-looking in preview
Contrast, text length and what a busy cover photo does to the words on top of it — a short audit that fixes the pages people squint at and leave.
How to read a single customer record before you reply or sell
One person, their purchases, their lifetime value and their messages in one place. What each field is telling you, and the three decisions it should change.
A quarterly clean-up that keeps your customer list worth emailing
Duplicates, dead addresses and contacts you imported once and never used. Ninety minutes every three months keeps the list honest and worth writing to.
Where your buyers' files live, and how they find them again later
Every digital purchase lands on a private order page the buyer can return to. Understanding it fixes most "I lost my download" messages before they reach you.
Sort your course videos out before you upload a single one of them
File names, resolution, length and audio level, settled in one sitting. Half an hour of preparation saves you re-uploading a whole module later.
Six places to put your referral link so it actually gets used
Bio, video description, newsletter footer, course lesson. Six placements ranked by effort, with the wording that belongs around each one.
How to choose a custom domain you will still want in three years
Your name, your niche, or your product. The trade-offs, the spelling traps, and why the shortest option is not always the right one.
Exporting your customer list, and why you should do it monthly
Full CSV export sits on every plan, including Free. Take the file once a month, keep it somewhere you control, and know exactly what you own.
Owning your domain properly: registrar, renewal and recovery
A lapsed domain takes your storefront link with it. Who holds the registration, what auto-renew actually covers, and the annual check that keeps it yours.
Making one AI e-book a month count: a twelve-month Starter plan
Starter gives you one book a month, so the topic matters more than the writing. A twelve-month order that builds a catalogue instead of twelve stray files.
A calm pass at moving your old store.fan/a/ links to join.store.fan
The old links still work, so there is no emergency. A single unhurried sweep through your bio, videos and posts to bring everything onto the shorter format.
Measuring a free lead magnet when there is no revenue line to read
A $0 product shows views and claimers and a permanent zero for revenue, so the usual read fails. Two numbers tell you whether the magnet is pulling.
Measuring a price change with per-product views, buyers and revenue
Set a before window, change one price only, then read views, buyers and revenue as three separate lines. That is how you find out whether the new price worked.
