Congratulations.

Congrats OP. If I were you, I'd try selling more expensive products or expanding my range. Do what works for you; whether or not you have a website is irrelevant.

This is a wow startup. Keep it up and reinvent the wheel... it will spit up more cash to your bank account. Congrat!!!

What kind of advice is this lol.

OP will see a huge increase in sales once a website is setup. It makes him look professional, and will reduce his workload with the automated payments/orders. He can also be getting organic traffic from search engines as well

The website approach only works for developed countries. In certain countries whereby online purchase are non existence or should I say only cash on delivery, the website is a waste of time. At the moment for OP, the priority is to amass his revenue so that he can form a capital base. This should be the utmost priority rather than building an ecommerce website. Shopify recurring cost is a cost to OP. It is not free. And OP has to spend time to update his inventories. Whereas on Facebook fanpage, you just need to post a product image and advertise through promoted post, you can get better sales. What are you going to do with a website? You still need to promote it. Between survival (accumulating capital) and putting a front (website) and trying to build a brand name, I would choose the formal. No $$ no brand. And I would trust a fanpage with lots of real people commenting more than a website. Especially when I know that Facebook is making scammers and spammers life harder by the day with request for ID verification. Also it is so much easier to identify a fake review/ comment on facebook by looking at the person profile and posting.It is so much transparent than to deal with website.

Also note that I am not against the idea of building a site but the priority should be to make money and sell when the trend is there.

So a website in France does not need time to upload product? No resources required to promote?

My post was refering to this paragraph basicly.

He can build the store while still selling in facebook, and with the alidropshipp plugin or shopify+plugin he can import the products really fast.
And i don't see any problem with promoting the store in FB.
If OP want scale this up and get more sales he needs to build a store, simple as that.

Congratulations.

Incredible friend, no website and already selling products. Keep it up!!

Agree with your point on this. I am primary looking at costing for a startup. The main priority for OP should be to gather and make money fast. Building a good ecommerce site cost money and plugin cost money as well. At this junction of a business, it is more of a luxury than a necessity. OP could still diversify his resources to a website but I believe currently he is working alone without a team. It is quite taxing to be spreading oneself too thin.

Congratulations! Keep it up!

 

[staypositive]

how to get traffic???

 

[magnus99]

[Setox]

Woow guys ! thanks for all the replies , that's

It's time to make more $$$$

Hell yeah !

so you sold form you fb page or profile?

From my facebook page . i edit the photo of products with photoshop , where i give a special code for each product + add the price .

 

[Setox]

Congrats @Setox now is time to scale this up.
Reinvest the profit and create a store with shopify or the dropshipp plugin.
With only that your will see a increase in your sales.
GL.

Yes , that's what i'm thinking about , Shopify is high expensive , it will took my 260$ in amonth if i want to do a professional website . with the additional tools ..etc
for the alidropship plugin it's a good idea , but it doesn't support the feature of adding "custom payment method" , which is what i need if i wanna keep selling here in my country . so i think i'll keep this for an international store . Thanks .

52 orders without a site and just with a Facebook page? What kind of sorcery is this? Lol

Congratulations buy the way!

Hmm , that moment when you are the only one who's selling a product in your country .
naah! i'm not selling anything , if that's what u mean . LOL

Damn dude, get a shopify store or something set up and you'll be sweet!
Onto a winning product here

I'm thinking about an Online store . Shopify is not the proper solution for me , thanks

Congrats! Keep up the good work

Thanks dude .
