[JOURNEY] Making $50 a day using e-commerce

This is like my third post in the Journey section my previous two journeys flopped. However, I now have so much free time so I'm able to really knuckle down and update my journey.

The aim is simple. Earn $50 a day every day up till x-mas.

To reach this goal I will be using drop shipping as the main source of income, however, I will be reselling on Amazon and eBay to help supplement my income also reselling Supreme and other hype streetwear. So you may end up seeing me talk about my reselling here and there.

So what have I done so far?
So to begin with I have found the main product that I will be promoting to sell on my store. Before setting up the store I decided to run a $5 PPE ad on a video ad of my main product. Its been 1 and a half days since I let the ad run and it has been going quite well got a few shares and loads of likes and 2 or 3 comments asking where they can get the item. This is good news for me as it shows that people like the product and are interested in it. I will probably end up duplicating the ad set and changing it into a WC ad, I believe this should work well.

So while I let my PPE ad run for a few more days so I can gather back some data. Tomorrow I will begin creating a nice and simple store and purchasing a domain name so that I can get the store up and ready for orders so that I have a nice and smooth transition.

If anyone can link me a Shopify trial that's longer than 14 days that would be very much appreciated!

If you have any questions, leave them below I will try and answer them to the best of my ability I hope that I can leave some useful advice.

Let the journey begin!

UPDATE:

So in short... The ads completely failed :( got many ads to cart but no one went through to purchase which means we are now down $45 which is definitely not good. So we may have to change plans and go a different way with making our $50 a day. I've joined a few dropshipping groups which are probably where I will sell the Shopify store and make back my lost money.

Now instead of using Shopify. We will be reselling on eBay and Amazon. I already have an old account for each platform with good feedback. The next question will be what items will I sell? I will start off by going to car boot sales (or garage sales as they call them in the US) and sourcing items to quickly buy and flip. So far I have already found two board games that will make me some good profit got the 2 for $4 and should sell back roughly for $25 for both. I will also use eBay to find items which I can flip back on Amazon for a profit this is a tried and proven method so will do this as soon as I have enough capital to start.

Also got a package coming in the post tomorrow full of supreme and bape goodies I can resell too. The package cost me $158 but i should be looking for a return of nearly $500. I guess this has become more of a hustle journey but hey if it works and makes money I guess it might be useful for someone here. I feel like I should also address my goal, the reason its $50 a day is because that would make me enough money to afford a nice first car and have money for fuel, insurance, and maintenance for 6 months. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I can upload a photo of the car I managed to buy.

Sorry, this update has been all over the place. But now we have a set path let the money start adding up :)
