Thank you for your opinion, i know you don't want to discourage me i really appreciate well constructed critique they help more than everything else.
Yeah that's an awesome guide, it always look easy before you start to do it xD
If not FB ads where i should put my money?I know i will inevitably lose money,i don't expect to make my first sale the first day.
I have a plan on this, i chose this niche cause it's not like other niches, they're not a decoration or a product that you buy cause you like it(i mean like a chain or a hoodie),because i don't hook up on passion or something like that i hook up on people needs,if you can't sleep well i have the solution, if you snore during the night i have the solution,if your thirsty i have water, something like that.
Yes,this is my first time trying to make money with IM,i already made money in internet tough with betting,trading with etoro,ewhoring(i will never do that again xD), but i'm a stoner and i was a pusher(i did really well for a while then i stopped) so i know something about Marketing,i already have other niches to go if this will not be profitable i put a limit of loss, can i ask you what theme should i use?Do you have a Shopify shop too?And most important should i use fiverr for the logo?
Thank you again you don't know how much you helped me
Super long reply ,my bad. Read the whole thing,I'm sure you'll find it helpful.
So you decided on this niche cause you wanna take a different route and not be like everyone else. Good. But maybe you should put some thought into why no one is promoting this product. I'm not saying the product/niche isn't profitable but I'm just saying always think of both sides of the coin.
-If you don't want to go further with FB ads you have 2 more ways to drive traffic. Forums and Blogs.
I'm sure you'll find forums related to health issues,sleep issues(k maybe not that) or even parenting forums .Something in those lines. You can casually promote your store/products there.No don't go spam there"Hey I am new ,I have a store .Here is the link ,check it out I need to make a sale."
Do that and you'll just get banned. Instead do it more casually. Get on the forum with a proper account(profile pic ,bio etc) . Find topics related to your niche or similar and comment something like
"Hey David(random name) I had the same issue you're talking about. Everyday I would get up with severe neckpain then my brother recommended me a product he found online. He said it really helped his wife with her neckpain and I should try it out.So I did and I'm glad I did cause the neck pain its a thing of the past now. You can check it out here if you'd like: https://sleepingdreams.myshopify.co...ducts/noyoke-orthopedic-health-care-pillow-hq . I'm sure it'll help you too.
Something like that ,make it seem super casual .Never tell em its your store . Make it seem like you're recommending a product to your actual friend.
Something like that for the blog commenting too.
Maybe just simply interact with other posts before you start sharing links in forums. Cause some uses will check your profile before they click on your link. Also if there is an Introduction sub forum,use it to introduce yourself.
-I see that you have anti snore mouthpiece. This one will really work with the ladies. You know they get irritated with their husbands snoring all night long.
Same thing for the body pillow. Try finding forums for new borns ..stuff like that.
-Other traffic sources? Pinterest. Look into it.

"if you can't sleep well i have the solution, if you snore during the night i have the solution" kinda 90s tv ad
No I don't have a store but that doesn't mean you need to take my opinion lightly. . I have done a lot of research on this topic because I had plans to start one but I decided against it . Read a lot about it for a long time did a shit load of research on both forums/google/reddit and facebook groups. So I gathered a lot of info which well is of no use to me right now. So I might as well just help you out.
About the store.
-Get rid of the 'Powered by shopify'.
Scroll down and you'll find it.
-Theme? Here is a popular one:
https://themes.shopify.com/themes/testament/styles/revelation
I personally like revelation ,there are 3 other styles included.(I'm not affiliated to them)
-Products
Get rid of the sale. Looks too shady. Putting everything for offer doesn't earn you the trust of the customer imo nor does it prompt the customer to buy your product.
Also try including more products but cheaper. I get it if you charge a high price you have a higher profit margin ,but at the start try going for lower prices.
-Email List
Create an email list. If you don't know what an email list is ,its basically a list of email ids of people visitng your store (they'll have to voluntarly enter their email id) . You can send them promotion emails like discounts or a new product added to the store etc. But don't spam them with it cause they can unsubscribe.
Just google "how to create email list shopifiy" . You'll get a better understanding.
-The most important one.
Get a DOMAIN . No matter how good your product is,your store is and your prices are. A domain name really affects everything. Get rid of .myshopify . If you want to see any success with FB ads/Shopify in general.
Here is something which will really help you.
Check out Franklin Hatchett on YouTube(also a member of BHW,invented a super popular method). He is an expert in this field.And no he is not a "guru" trying to bank off others with useless courses. He believes in free information and shares it. The dude speaks the truth without the sugar coating. And no I am not affiliated to him in anyway,I'm just one his subscribers. He also has a group in facebook ,I'll send you a link in pm if you want.More than 30k members .They share screenshots of their success with Shopify+Dropshipping . Do QnAs and a lot more. I learned a lot from there.
Once again not affiliated to them in anyway ,like I mentioned above the info I gathered isn't much use to me right now so might as well help the others.
There is one more guy on YouTube,Sebastian Gomez(not affiliated) . Very informative and speaks the truth. He has a playlist with more than 80 videos on his channel which should help you.
You'll find others on YouTube like Dan Dasilva ,DeadBeat Affiliate etc stay away from them.
