What was the AOV and LTV for customers of that store. What was the returning customer rate? Was there any subscription revenue?

The arithmetic order mean was around $200, but some products were over $1000.
Most customers made no more than 2-3 orders, but 30% of total orders were from existing customers.
There were no paid subscriptions when I was there, but I heard they are thinking about it now.

1. Try to write original product descriptions instead of just copy-pasting them from other websites.
2. The site I mentioned is based on Flatsome, but nowadays I would recommend Shoptimizer.

Google ads and Facebook ads. See previous posts for more details.

Kind of in a similar situation right now (still working for the Company)

I‘m always playing with the thought of doing the same thing like in the company but way better and totally outsourced but in don‘t really know the industry that well and also you need really good connections.

Anyways I‘m contracted to them until at least August 2022...

Why don‘t you offer consulting on sites like upwork? I‘m doing this my self and If you are really good at smth ( e.g. GShoppingAds) you can work for really Good paying companies.


Also: Dropshipping isn’t dead.But why source products from Aliexpres?

Thank you for the idea, but to be honest I don't like running ads. Nowadays I just build and design websites.
