Just like the title says. My family has owned a Marijuana Apparel or Clothing Brand for awhile, and has sold fairly well. My question is how should I get the website to start making more sales. We have a Insta with a good amount of followers and Professional Website all up, but hardly get any online sales. I am not new to this but I just want to ask plainly since I have never dealth with anything in a "blackhat" niche I would say. So I should just proceed like normal and make good articles with easy keywords for Google traffic. Boost with some backlinks. Super obvious, but I just wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas, like should I start making a pinterest and snapchat since those are more clothing oriented demographic? Search for possible retailers with Apollo.io? What would you do if you had relatively successful clothing brand handed to you?
 
I just typed "marijuana clothing" into google and I'm seeing a lot of e-shops ranking (etsy, redbubble, rasta empire), so it would probably be a good idea to set up your own store on ALL of these parasites since it seems to work so well... I don't think that you'll be able to rank your own website without enough authority and traffic, which is why I don't think that focusing on SEO-ing your site at this point is the best option.

But, by capitalizing on these parasites' authority you might be able to get a constant stream of sales which will then allow you to work on building up your site's authority, traffic and sales on the side until you catch google's interest...

And yeah, Pinterest could work, too... that site is full of people interested in weird / fashionable / niche stuff (at least it used to be like this in 2019 when I cared about it, I'm not sure what it's like nowadays), but you'll probably have to work your ass off to get any meaningless traffic from Pinterest because these fuckers are google 2.0, they want you to slave your life away creating images and videos all day long just to get a few eyeballs on your stuff and if you're a single person that has to do everything himself / herself (like I was back then) you'll get burnt out within a month or 2.... Much better if you have a few $100 a month to spend on their ads, I think you'd see better success with paid advertising but you'd have to do it for at least 6+ month to see any measurable results...

Also regarding Pinterest, I don't know why I'll say this (and I might be wrong, so don't blindly trust me), but I have a feeling that you might see better success if you register as an individual instead of a business. When I slaved my life away for Pinterest (while being registered as a business) I had to really struggle to meet all of their retarded requirements in order to get traffic, while kids and morons would get 1000s of views on their shitty and useless pins without much effort, I do have a feeling that Pinterest are screwing you over if you're a business to force you into spending money with them (typical capitalist mentality), so be prepared for this... Or, actually, register both a business account and a free account and if you manage to promote the same site from both accounts (I don't think it's possible, though), you'll be able to see for yourself which type of account yields better results...

Man I swear everyone talks about pinterest like its dead or way hard to get into. Also I figured as much about ranking on google. Would be a long time to see results either way. I think I will start uploading the designs to etsy, redbubble, and rasta empire just like you suggested. See how well I can do on those sites. We have lots and lots of quality content by the way. All Marijuana related videos and models wearing our clothing. I know I can drive some sales here, its all setup and professionally with products that sell. Thanks for your input, it helps alot. I need to bounce ideas before I feel comfortable focusing time on something.
 
I think you can start them with sales ads. Then your fashion products will be known by many people and you can have a much larger revenue.

You need to use methods of masking them for the ads to work.

Thats what I am worried about. I no nothing about cloaking ads. Blackhat niche is something I have not done before.
 
Hey - Are you the manufacturer of Marijuana Apparel? Do you have affiliate or drop shopping model?
