How To Maximize Ticket Sales Using Selfany

How To Maximize Ticket Sales Using Selfany

Think a website is the only way to sell tickets? Think again.

If you've ever tried organizing a virtual class, workshop, concert, or even a community hangout, you know one thing: selling tickets can be harder than planning the event itself.

Maybe you’ve struggled to collect payments. Or you used a ticketing platform that charged ridiculous fees. Or worse, people wanted to pay but didn’t know how.

You don’t need a fancy website or a tech team to sell tickets. You just need a tool that makes it easy for people to pay and access what they signed up for.

That’s where Selfany comes in, an all-in-one platform that helps you set up your event ticket sales in minutes, collect payments without hassle, and boost visibility effortlessly.

Here’s exactly how to maximize your ticket sales using Selfany, whether you’re hosting a physical event, virtual webinar, or anything in between.

1. Simplify The Checkout Process

People don’t like friction. And in the ticketing world, friction means lost sales. 70% of online carts are abandoned, with complicated checkouts being a top reason for the drop-off (Baymard Institute). Complicated payment pages, long forms, or unclear pricing? Huge red flags for buyers. Selfany removes all of that.

With Selfany, you can:

• Sell without needing a personal website

• Offer a clean, distraction-free checkout.

• Let buyers pay quickly with bank transfer, card, or mobile money

Pro tip: Use Selfany’s product preview to show your event banner, title, and details clearly. The easier it is to pay, the more people will.

2. Create a Dedicated Event Page That Sells

You don’t need to be a designer to create a ticket sales page that converts. Selfany lets you create a product listing (aka a ticket page).

That Includes:

• Your event title

• Date and time

• Short description

• Visual banner or flyer

• Pricing

• Ticket quantity (optional)

You can use WhatsApp broadcasts to drive attention to this page, where people can see, trust, and buy. The goal is always the same: lead them to your Selfany link.

3. Offer Multiple Ticket Options (And Price Points)

One powerful trick to maximize sales? Give people options. Let’s say you’re hosting a training session. Here's how giving buyers options can turn into selling out tickets. 

Instead of just one ticket:

• Offer a standard ticket (3,000)

• A VIP ticket with bonuses (6,000)

• A replay-access-only ticket (2,000)

With Selfany, you can create multiple ticket types as separate product entries or clearly explain tiers within one product description.

Why it works: People who can't afford VIP can still buy a standard, and people who love exclusivity will gladly upgrade; meanwhile, your total possible revenue continues to increase.

Psychology tip: Anchoring your VIP ticket helps make your regular ticket feel like a great deal. 

4. Use Urgency and Scarcity The Right Way

Most people don’t buy immediately. But if they feel like they’re missing out, they move fast.

Here’s how to apply that with Selfany:

• Set A Deadline: “Ticket sales close by July 10th.”

• Limit Spots: “Only 30 slots available!”

• Use countdowns in Stories to build tension

Mention these limits clearly in your product description and your promo content.

Reminder strategy: Share reminders often. People need to see something 6–8 times before acting.

5. Promote Where Your Audience Is

You don’t need a full-blown ad budget to drive sales. You just need to show up where people already engage with you. If you’re selling on social media, here’s how to turn followers into paying clients.

Places To Promote Your Selfany Ticket Link:

• Instagram bio + Stories

• WhatsApp status + broadcast lists

• Twitter/X pinned post

• LinkedIn, if it’s a professional event

• Your email list (even if it’s small)

Add a strong call-to-action like: “Spots are filling! Tap the link in my bio to grab your ticket.”

6. Build Hype With Content, Not Just Flyers

Flyers alone won’t sell out your event tickets. Stories do.

Content Ideas To Drive Ticket Sales:

• Behind-the-scenes videos of your prep or planning

• A quick clip saying what attendees will learn/experience

• Screenshots of people saying they’ve bought a ticket

• A short testimony from someone who attended your last event

• Day-before reminder: “You coming?” (with the link again)

Use the “talking head” strategy: One-minute selfie videos work wonders. You + your phone = conversions.

7. Make It Easy for Buyers To Contact You

Sometimes people want to ask a question before they buy. Don’t leave them hanging.

Selfany Product Pages Let You Include:

• A short description with your DM or email.

• A FAQ section (add to your product description).

• Also, in your promo content, you could say: “Not sure if this event is for you? DM me first.”

The more approachable you feel, the higher your chances of converting hesitant buyers.

Follow Up Even After the Sale

You’ve sold your tickets? Amazing. But don’t go quiet.

Use The Emails Or Buyer Info Collected By Selfany To:

• Send a welcome message or event confirmation

• Remind them of the event (date, time, access info)

• Upsell a replay or future offer after the event

Bonus: After your event, ask for short testimonials. Use those in your next promo. Momentum matters.
