What did you specifically to optimize your Shopify store? Shopify stores are already optimized (mobile and desktop) even if you pick the free themes that they offer. Load times are fast too because the stores are hosted on Shopify's servers. I'm not sure where you spent your money or why.
Surely you mean Dropshipping through Aliexpress right? You can't really do it from Alibaba because you'd need to buy stuff in bulk.
Another way to save yourself on expenses is to make a Shopify developmental store. In short, it's a Shopify store with an unlimited trial basically until you make over 50 sales or rack up over $200 in app/subscription charges. Once you do cross any of those thresholds, it's the regular $29/month. Shopify developmental stores are perfect for people just looking to test the waters with eCom or Dropshipping. I would highly suggest making dev stores if you want to test something or a niche you aren't too sure about.

lated content with good hashtags. Follow/unfollow still works and I've personally made good money doing that method with my stores' IG accounts but now I'm focusing more on branding right from the get go.
Good luck!
Hey man! Thanks for the in-depth reply. I actually meant finding an optimised theme and working on SEO!
That Shopify development store sounds like a really good idea - I had no clue that even existed. I'll definitely dig into that for my next project.
I've already branded the IG account from the start.
