Mr. Kitty's Dropship Journey

[Mr. Kitty]

Hey all,

I just posted in the introduction section last night--when I stumbled across this forum--and so far I love it.

It is the exact type of community I have been searching for. I have found a huge amount of useful information in the few hours I have browsed through the forums, and cannot be thankful enough to have found BHW.

With that said, I have been working on my own IM venture through dropshipping, and have decided to start this progress thread.

I have had some results: I have experimented in around three different niches or so and have made about ~$500 total, but every dollar I made I put back into facebook advertising.

I now have decided to grab the bull by the horns and put every ounce of my effort into this. I believe this forum and tracking my progress here are necessary tools to do this.

I do have a specific goal in mind here, however, I do not want to reveal what that is until it is reached, or I hit another milestone--perhaps half way?

Anyways, I will be posting here at the minimum once/week.

I am currently working on two specific niches I have researched--I have since abandoned the other three, as that was when I really had no idea what the hell I was doing--and am currently at the marketing stage.

I am at the moment learning to use followliker and trying to finally tame the beast that is facebook ads.

Mr. Kitty

What are you using followliker for in this method?

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Hey girolamo,

I am using FollowLiker for several reasons:

1) My niche is extremely broad and popular, and I thought it could only help me to promote my site through every social media channel possible

2) Likewise, my niche has a HUGE following on instagram, and I think running facebook ads alongside followliker on instagram will greatly influence social proof

3) I plan on contacting affiliates via instagram, and I would like to have at least a somewhat decent following on all my social media accounts

4) Lastly, I am still very new to IM, and I think it will be good for me to learn how to use both followliker and facebook ads for promoting my store

I look forward to following your progress alongside making my own. Good luck!

 

[rickychardlo]

Do you do seo for your site as well?

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Thanks DKING!

rickychardlo,

I have done a little SEO, however, that really is not my focus at the moment.

It will definitely be something I come back to at some point, but for the time being I am much more focused upon developing great facebook ads and learning how to use followliker effectively.

 

[Mr. Kitty]

I just got a VPS so I can run followliker indefinitely without having to leave my computer on--this was a hassle since I bring it with me around campus, etc.

Installing it on the VPS now...

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Followliker running 24/7 on my VPS and all channels are covered.

I am quite surprised how quickly I am gathering followers.. especially on pinterest.

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Had my first order today! Had four actually in the past 12 hours

Keep grinding, good luck !

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Still busting my ass!

Got my affiliate program entirely set up--will be contacting them on instagram this week.

I also had two instagram bloggers reach out to me and offer!

Likewise, I also decided to switch to shopifiedapp from oberlo to automate my orders and I couldn't be happier!

I got offered a lifetime purchase for all features instead of opting for a monthly fee. It has been well worth it.

The shopified app is much more powerful.

I couldn't be happier with my progress thus far and being apart of this forum!

good job, how are the sales coming ?

 

[Mr. Kitty]

good job, how are the sales coming ?

Thanks man.

I have had four sales organically. I have yet to start facebook ads still as I am still waiting until all my backend work is complete, which will be in the next day or two. Oddly enough all of these sales occurred on the same day.

I wanted every process in place before I began them--followliker working 100%, affiliate program set up, etc.

The facebook ads will begin very soon!

may i know how much do u mark up?

 

[DownUp982343]

When you have a moment can you send me more details?

 

[sairos]

good luck, i'm following your journey. so, are all your sales from followliker so far? right?

 

[Mr. Kitty]

may i know how much do u mark up?

I currently mark-up everything by 100%, and then round this number to the closest psychological pricing point.

I watched a webinar by Justin Cener on all the best pricing targets, then round it to the closest one:
$9.99, 14.99, 17.99, 19.99
22.99, 24.99, 27.99, 29.99
34.99, 39.99, 49.99, 59.99, 69.99, 74.99, etc.

These are essentially what are used in retail stores.

 

[Mr. Kitty]

When you have a moment can you send me more details?

Sure. What are you curious about?

good luck, i'm following your journey. so, are all your sales from followliker so far? right?

Thanks man!

Correct. I also have a blog on my shopify store that I post 1 article per day to, so the traffic could be from that too.

I follow my niche on google news, and choose an article every morning and spin it myself to make it completely unique.

 

[Mr. Kitty]

Checking in for the week.

I plan to do a major update on how everything is going, but have not yet had the time to do so.

But everything is still going great!

 

[Mr. Kitty]

I am just about to launch my facebook ads campaign sometime this week.. will keep this posted right as it begins!
