Thanks for the advice last time! I finally got my first order, but the startup cost was too high.
I have a lot of questions and would really appreciate your help.I started by running ads for trendy luxury bags that 1:1 sellers in the USA don’t have. Since I live in China, I have access to them.
I used a Facebook page to run ads targeting the USA, but the CPM was $50.After some adjustments, I lowered it to $10–$15. That’s when I got my first order (+$600), but I had already spent $400 on ads.
I then tested ads in the UK, Canada, and Australia. The CPM was much lower, and my CTR was 5%. Now, I’m hoping to get 70 more messages to make another sale.
My questions:
1. Why is CPM and CPC so high in the USA? Can I lower it? (I’m running a sales campaign via WhatsApp.)
2. Can I sell replica products in other markets with lower CPM and dropship from China?
3. Should I use Facebook Marketplace in the USA instead of running normal ads?
4. What type of Facebook accounts should I buy to sell on Marketplace?
5. Should I try selling on eBay?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
