An update after being inactive due to workload and other freelance stuff:
For the past weeks, I've finally tried Adwords, since I got the $75 coupon for spending $25. That's all I ever did for marketing sake as I was really busy.
Luckily and I was really surprised to get 8 sales. 5 sales were made in 1 day which is cool.
A screenshot of the sales below:
I know it's not much. But that's good enough for me for now. I only have 16 products on my store. I just need to find time to focus and work on it.
My next steps:
- get EV SSL
- get a decent logo
- upload articles related to my product categories
- set another campaign on Adwords
Also, I recently signed up to Shopify and load 100+ products from Oberlo. The reason behind this is to compare if Shopify will kick in more sales than my WP store.
Unfortunately, almost 1 month, I still got no sales from my Shopify store. I'm wondering if I should still keep it and see if it will change or I should just close it and save $29/month and focus on my WP instead.
Cheers!

Good Luck BuddyI was inspired by fellow BHW members to do my own journey to unknown riches. I stumbled upon this “My Journey” post here that convinced me to try the same method he is doing. I was convinced to try and build my own store as his, in hoping that I can execute it better given my digital marketing experience. I feel like I can pull this off once I really get my head around it and implement hand-picked method I have learned from this forum.
I am not sure what profit will I be getting, I'm more than happy to embrace how much will I lose and how much will I earn moving forward. So here it goes.
Day 1: I bought a domain name, cost me around $10 for a year. I have my own hosting so not a problem for me. Loaded a premium theme from themeforest. Setup necessary pages (About, TOC, Privacy Policy, Contact & woocommerce pages for payment and shits). Setup necessary social media accounts. Setup GA and Search Console for traffic monitoring. I've also setup some affiliate accounts for future use. Signed up to some dropshipping sites to look for suppliers and products. So far, looking good.
Day 2: (2nd of March) I have registered my store as a legal business name. I decided to register it so I can legally operate things. I don't want to waste my time dealing with legal issues once my journey starts kicking in some $$$$.
That's all for now.. I'm currently researching on bunch of products, carefully selecting which one to try. Any suggestions you may have, don't hesitate to post here.. Badly needed..

Are you using adword?
Are you using premium plugins for woocommerce? What plugins did you install?
Are you adding your products manually?

Yep, I've used Adwords. Just the $75 coupon after spending $25.
Premium plugins - I bought the aliexpress/ebay premium import plugin. I'm using visual composer as well. I think that's pretty much my premium plugins.
For the products - I am partly manually adding them. Meaning, from the import plugin I bought, it automatically post as draft so I can edit each products for SEO purposes and be able to select which images to retain/remove from the said import plugin.

Hello to those still following my thread.
Just a major update. I'm a happy kid to have 12 orders for this week. I woke up this morning and checked my inbox for new orders.
I just want to encourage everyone who wants to start their own journey to really pursue what you think will work and just adjust when you fail. Failure is one of the ingredients for success because it helps you determine which method/technique will you use and what not.
Cheers!
