Loyalty Programs Burn Cash | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:48

Play Pause

2h ago5:48

5:48

Ah yes, the loyalty program. Nothing says “I’m a serious business now” like rewarding customers with points, discounts, and VIP tiers. You set it up. You slap a widget on your site. You even give it a name like “Shopper Stars” or “Reward Rocket.” And then it does absolutely nothing.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

6:47

Let’s kill a few sacred cows today. If you’re running (or starting) a home-based ecommerce business and you're spending money on the things I’m about to list, you're not building a business. You're building a monthly bonfire out of your own cash.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

Free Bank Accounts Cost | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 6:00

3h ago6:00

6:00

Free. That word looks good when you’re just starting out. Free website trial. Free logo maker. Free business checking account. It all feels smart and scrappy. But some of those “free” choices will quietly chew through your business from the inside - and your bank account is one of them.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

Don’t Outsource Easy Things | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:48

3h ago5:48

5:48

You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded. You’ve got 73 tabs open, your cat just knocked over your shipping scale, and there’s a customer asking if their order will arrive before next Thursday’s blood moon. So yeah, it’s tempting to outsource.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

Audit Your Subscription Stack | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:45

3h ago5:45

5:45

Most home-based ecommerce sellers think they’ve beaten the overhead game. No warehouse lease. No payroll. No electric bill the size of a mortgage. That’s great. But while you’re celebrating your low overhead, your profit margin is probably bleeding out from something you haven’t even noticed.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

AI Isn't 'New Google'. Calm Down. | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:55

2d ago5:55

5:55

Every few months, a new headline screams across the internet like it just discovered fire: “AI will kill search engines!” “Google is over!” “RIP traditional search!” And every time, a bunch of keyboard prophets repost it with the same breathless panic like they’re breaking news. The reality? These people don’t understand how any of this works. At a…

1:45:35

The Nationalist Party has forbidden Adrian Delia and Alex Borg from debating each other as they compete to become the party's next leader. So we had to adapt.

If It Sucks On Mobile, Forget It | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:39

11d ago5:39

5:39

If your store is a nightmare on a phone, you’re not just missing sales. You’re practically handing them to someone else. Bad mobile experience? That's the fastest way to lose buyers before they even see what you're selling. And if you’re running a home-based business, every single lost click hurts.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

How To Use Competitor Research | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:01

11d ago5:01

5:01

Running your online store without checking out the competition is like playing darts blindfolded in a wind tunnel. Sure, you might hit something, but odds are you’ll just put a hole in your drywall and call it “data.” Competitor research isn’t about copying what everyone else is doing. It’s about seeing what actually works, figuring out what doesn’…

11d ago4:52

4:52

If you think customer service is something you have to do after the sale, you're already missing the whole point. For a small online business, good service is your marketing. It’s your reputation. It’s the difference between being remembered and being refunded.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

Building a Loyal Customer Base | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 6:14

11d ago6:14

6:14

If your online store treats customers like one-night stands, you’re not running a business. You’re running a revolving door to nowhere. Loyalty isn’t some feel-good bonus. It’s your freaking profit engine. Especially when you’re selling from your kitchen table, loyalty is what keeps your business breathing without giving you a stress ulcer.…

The Psychology of Scarcity | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 4:55

12d ago4:55

4:55

If you’re not using scarcity tactics in your online store, you’re basically handing money back to the internet. Scarcity isn’t sleazy. It’s not about being that guy screaming “LAST CHANCE!” in neon. It’s about lighting a fire under people’s butts so they actually click “Buy Now” instead of wandering off to look at cat videos.…

Why Your Checkout Loses Money | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:30

19d ago5:30

5:30

If your checkout process is clunkier than a busted shopping cart, you’re flushing sales whether you know it or not. A bad checkout doesn’t just hurt your conversion rate. It breaks trust, frustrates buyers, and kills momentum right at the point where people are ready to give you money. For a home-based ecommerce store, this is the last place you wa…

Social Proof Boosts Sales | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 6:09

19d ago6:09

6:09

If your store doesn’t have a single customer review, you’re basically telling shoppers, “Trust me, I swear.” Spoiler: they won’t. Social proof isn’t optional. It’s one of the fastest ways to build trust and actually get people to click the buy button. And if you’re running this thing from your living room, it’s how you compete with brands that have…

The Danger of Overpromising | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:58

19d ago5:58

5:58

If your marketing sounds like it belongs in a late-night infomercial, something’s off. Overpromising doesn’t make you look confident. It makes you look unreliable. When you say your pet beds last forever, ship tomorrow, and fix every problem your customer’s ever had, you’re not building trust. You’re setting yourself up for returns, refunds, and ba…

If you're trying to sell to everyone, you're selling to no one. That’s not a catchy phrase. That’s a business truth. And if you're running an ecommerce shop out of your home, spreading yourself thin is the fastest way to get ignored.By Chris Malta | 30+ Years In Online Business

The Nationalist Party is at a crossroads, again. Bernard Grech’s surprise decision to step aside midway through the legislature caught the party off guard. And with Roberta Metsola deciding not to contest, the PN’s future appears uncertain. Lou Bondi played a key role within the PN during its electoral heyday. George Vital Zammit was tasked by the …

Build a Non-Annoying Email List | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:59

19d ago5:59

5:59

If your website pops up five boxes before someone even sees a product, you’re not building a list. You’re building an exit strategy for your visitors. Nobody shows up hoping to play “close the window” before they can scroll. You’re not running a billboard farm. You’re running a real ecommerce business from home, and that means using tools that work…

If your ecommerce site looks like a slot machine exploded, flashing banners, seizure-inducing colors, pop-ups screaming for attention, congrats, you just sent your buyer straight to the back button. That kind of chaos doesn’t sell. It scares people off. Especially if you’re running this thing from your kitchen table. You don’t get do-overs. Your si…

24d ago6:13

6:13

If you think slashing prices is the secret weapon for boosting ecommerce sales, you’re about to learn the hard way. Discounting is not a shortcut to profit.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 7:16

If you're focused only on chasing one-time sales, you're working way harder than you need to. You're spinning your wheels trying to bring in new buyers instead of getting more value out of the customers who already said yes. That’s where CLV comes in. Customer lifetime value isn’t some fancy marketing buzzword. It’s the smartest way to boost your p…

Why You Need a Blog | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 4:46

If your ecommerce site doesn’t have a blog, you’re handing free traffic and trust to your competitors. A blog isn’t optional.

Handling Negative Feedback | Chris Malta's EBiz Insider Podcast 5:14

24d ago5:14

5:14

Getting a bad review sucks. But ignoring it, brushing it off, or clapping back will cost you more than your ego. It will cost you sales, trust, and repeat customers. Negative feedback isn’t an insult. It’s a spotlight. And how you react under it tells every potential buyer whether you’re worth their money.…

If your website sounds like a tech manual or a chatbot that just discovered adjectives, you’ve got a problem. Nobody remembers a store that sounds like everyone else.
