It’s really useful to see how your sales are doing over time. This guide will show you how to easily find out the total number of orders you received during any specific period you choose, like a certain week, month, or year.
This helps you understand your business better.
Here’s how to check your total orders for a specific time period:
1. From the admin dashboard, go to Orders and then click Filter
2. Select which data you need from course, webinar or digital download. Then choose the From date and To date. Then hit the Apply button.
3. You can see all the orders within that timeline will appear.
How to Benefit from Previous Sales Data
Not all courses are created equal. By looking at past sales, you can identify:
- The “Cash Cow”: Which course brings in the most revenue? You may find that while a $500 flagship course sells less frequently, it accounts for 70% of your income, suggesting you should increase your marketing efforts there.
- The “Entry Point”: Which lower-priced product consistently leads to upsells?
- The “Laggard”: Are there courses that cost more to maintain or support than they generate in revenue? This is an insight to retire or revamp those offerings.
- Campaign Performance: If you ran a special campaign of any sort, previous sales data will also reveal how the campaign performed.
Smart course creators use these insights to solidify their course business further. Hope you do too. All the best.
