[Journey] My shopify website is not getting traffic, only 100 visits on an average, Goal 500 a day

beastkay said:

1) Trying to push from Instagram having 10k+ followers on Insta

- Not doing influencer marketing (Thinking to start it)
- Just sending some products and asking for photographs from models for my instagram content

2) Running FB Ads

- Running split test with 3 creatives
- Running the wiinning ad
- Per link click $0.8 to $1.2(US Geo) spent $25 got 26 clicks 2 website purchases and 5 relevancy score

3) Running Google Ads

- 5$ a day
- Getting link click $0.8 to $1.2
- no purchases yet

4) Invested $200 on seo packages outsourced - they were building backlings by article submission,blog posting and were ranking 10 of the keywords.

But stopped that service because was not getting that much out of it.

Now what else I can do to find the potential customers for my website as I know there is lot of room but I'm not getting that twist for my boat to sail and get at least 500 landings a day.

We have the best offers in the market we are really good on third party platforms like amazon,etsy and all but now we want to increase the sale on website too.

If anyone have some useful info which can help me out then please do post it here.

Thanks for the reading and I will update this post every week for sharing the status with you guys.

You gotta focus in on one or two things and really make them work before trying out other traffic methods.

For you, I would say focus on Facebook as it seems you’ve already gotten some minor results.

Take Facebook’s own ad course and learn about the platform. Then test and isolate individual variables and campaign tweaks to boost your ROI.

You might find some decent ad sets off the bat, but you will never really find the home run ads right away. Just need to test ad sets again and again until you can tweak them into being ROI monsters where you spend 1 dollar and make 5 in return.

that is core suggestion mate but 1 for 5 really? can we expect from facebook.

i was running an ad and one day it is giving me $0.14 a click and after two days it has been changed to $1.05 a click.


I don't think fb is so beneficial as you told of 1 to 5 thing.
please do reply if you think that i'm wrong

Cut out the SEO and Google ads and focus on Facebook ads only and Instagram.


You dont have the money nor time to do everything effectively at once, especially when you are just starting out.

Good luck.

Google ads are the best there are (in my opinion) but they are a bit expensive and you lose money very quickly if you do not know what you are doing.
It is more advisable to focus all your attention on Facebook-Instagram ads for the moment, and when you manage to generate profits with them, you can come back with Google ads.

You're doing too much work mate.
Congratulations for this new project.

I guess you should go with instagram influencer thing for this kind of project.

Otherwise you are going to get better suggestions here for sure on bhw

Yea, it really can be. You just need to get really good at Facebook ads. There are people spending 1 dollar and making 5 dollars (profit, not revenue) with e-commerce and regular store pages on Facebook. Just gotta get really good at managing Facebook ads and not do average-at-best Facebook advertising that every other dropshipper is doing.

Of course, you could be average at Facebook ads and get 5x your money with a funnel. If you’re good with Facebook ads and funnel optimization you can easily get much much more than 10-20+x your ad spend in profit over the life time of a customer.

Do yourself a favor and publish one long article per week. Pages on shopify are easy to rank with a well coded responsive theme. Forget about trying to rank collections or products until you have lots of keywords published and ranking in the top 10. It will take a month or so for each article to start showing results. But this is a long term play because you can get hundreds of visits without building backlinks in markets that don't do much content marketing.

A 2 week free trial of SEMRush will help you develop all the content planning you need to get started and ranking for some KWs.
