Hi, Everyone. I have decided to make my own journey after reading so many Journeys
Background Info: I am a university droput from Indonesia. It has been 7 months since my e-commerce start having sale. Previously I try to sell online but fail two times due to unrealistic thinking. I forget how is my first venture already. In my second venture, I try to upload products in Instagram and have a naive belief that customers will just pop out looking for my products. Oops Doesn't work that way. Venture failed.
On my third venture. I still have amateur way of thinking. But this time I upload to local marketplaces (tokopedia). However this time customers do miraculously pooped out of nowhere (
) . Oh well starting from there, I slowly grow my business. I use bot made from Imacros to help me upload to more marketplaces as well as scraping products. I add more products from my uncles and aunties. I also ask for my Mom's employees help to answer customer queries and pay them per product sold. Meanwhile, I also do some accounting job for my mom
Around 4 months ago, I find and use Instagress to start developing IG accounts as well. It is around 1 more month before I migrate to Massplanner. I have some fun using Massplanner to play hide and seek with IG. However, although I have some success with IG (around 1 product per day), the growth is too slow due to many limitation caused by the nature of the blackhat method.
Around 2 months ago, I hire another person to help me do bookkeeping for my e-commerce venture.
For the near future, I plan to spend more money on advertising my products in marketplaces and in social media and Google. I have already spent some advertising money in marketplaces and met with some success. Now I am going to do the same to many channels. Meanwhile, I also start to learn using Java to build a better Bot. I am currently learning Selenium. If I met with roadblock, I hire an expert through Upwork for help and learn directly from expert how they solve the problem.
For my long-term plan, I am thinking of establishing offline store as well and expanding toward national scale and international scale for both my offline and online business (I wonder how long it takes? Will I even able to achieve in the first place? Haha)
Well, I guess that's it
Okay, some statistics for my daily sale:
Last saturday, I delivered 8 items
My online shop sell items ranging from $10-$120
