I state the delivery time very clearly on my site. About 1 in 10 orders start sending my angry emails, and I usually just point to the tracking info and tell them it's on the way. As long as they can see it's on the way, they're usually okay with it.
It's tough - I would personally never order...
ATTENTION: AFTER ROUGHLY HITTING THE £100/DAY GOAL, I'VE MOVED TO A NEW THREAD:
THIS THREAD IS STILL GREAT READING THOUGH!

Well I missed by one day.. (sorry!), but it means all my charts will have a full extra week on them. Here's how the week went:
1) I tried duplicating some more successful ad sets, adding bigger budgets and found some had an extra little trickle of sales.
2) Tried some manual bidding ad sets -...
Yeah that's a good point with all the currency fluctuations currently. I'm actually using a Google Sheets add-on that gets the live value for conversions - but I should be grouping it together by week.
Haha, just Google Sheets. I keep track of everything on a day-to-day basis so I know where I stand. I'm a registered business now, so i also have accounting software, but that's a bit delayed. Here's what I'm keeping track of:
The only problem (as I mentioned) is that sometimes you account get limited when you get A LOT of sales - meaning you cant withdraw or spend funds for 30 days. If you're already earning tons though PayPal, it's less likely to happen - but I'm not sure here. Seems like you could use PayPal for...
PayPay is really rough for cashflow - if you get a sale, you'll have to wait 21 days to see the money, especially if you keep making new accounts. Stripe is better - you only wait 7 days, but my whole account got shut down after a lot of disputes. You can either:
1) Make sure you don't get any...
I only use AliExpress, paying with debit card. I only use PayPay for accepting payments, which I then withdraw into my bank account. I don't recommend or endorse using brand names you don't have permission to sell.
No, I'm now in a niche - it's still fairly broad, though. I started general...
IF YOU ARE NEW TO MY JOURNEY -> START HERE
I found some success with dropshipping in conjunction with Facebook adverts. Towards the end of the journey in my last thread, I had my Stripe account limited and ran into a cashflow issue as my ad spend went quite high. Still, here is the Shopify...
I've been busy trying to keep myself profitable. It's been working, but it looks like I couldn't scale as big as I wanted to. I kept adding more money to the budgets, only to see my cost per purchase skyrocket. It seems like that adset is all spent up, no matter what I do, it's not getting any...
I'd love to write a longer update, but it's been so busy. Perhaps at the weekend. In short, my winning ads stopped winning, so I made some adjustments, had a slower few days, but had a good day today. We'll see if it goes back to normal.
Also I've added Stripe/PayPal fees to my spreadsheet -...
Another quick update. (I'm quite sleep deprived)
All I've done is scaled up my winning ad set to 250/day. Sometimes it doesn't all spend, not quite sure why. I've set it scale to $325 tomorrow - we'll see if that 30% boost leads to a 30% boost in sales. My cost per purchase fluctuates between...
Not just a case of a winning product - this is the same product that lost $71 and hit loads of abandoned checkouts.
I still get LOADS of abandoned checkouts - but it has gone from 0.61% reaching checkout to 1.71% reaching checkout - which is a big deal. Here's what I think it is:
1. Installed...
Have to be quick today - it's our General Elecection. I have found great progress with scaling.
Monday 5 June
One sale all day. I hadn't quite realise that i decactived loads of ads, so still $30 profit.
Tuesday 6 June
Reactivated some, tested out some new audiences. Two sales. I realize my ad...
EDIT: Just realised that my bumper sales day on June 4 put me at £115 profit for the day. I became cashflow positive on June 2, so technically I've hit my goal of £100/day. Of course, this hasn't been truly proven. I've always told myself it takes 10 consecutive days to build a habit - so my...
No real progress on the goals I layed out earlier, but I have made three sales today which is a new bump up.
I've bumped my successful ad-sets from $20/day to $22/day. I'll continue bumping it bit-by-bit and next week will tell if I can really scale this one product.
I'm testing out a...
I'm turning on a profit on this store as of this morning. I hate when people leave their journeys and don't update - but it's been such a busy week at work. Let me break it down for you day by-day. FYI I've mainly been advertising one product that sells for $120, and I buy for $60.
Monday 29...
UPDATE: Still no sales.
I'm getting a fair few abandoned checkouts, and I'm sending discount codes to them
Driving good traffic but have spend around $150 on ads :( I'm going to pause everything to today - except for the retargeting. I'll study up on this forum and Kingpinning's videos.
