I do quite a bit of pod. At this stage there is something wrong with either your product, pricing and/or social media accounts if you have not sold anything since you started 3 months ago!

Yeah maybe, I'm not so sure. This is my first shot and that POD thing just come out like a month ago when I have like 5K followers on one of my theme page. So, I dont expect anything else. It'll be great if you can give me some advice
And the other thing, I don't really promote them that crazy, I just put texts on some of my posts, lol. I want to keep my page clean until I reach 10K.

Think of it this way, if you opened a shop near your home and in 3 months nobody purchased anything would you be unsure if there was a problem?

I am happy to look at your pages and products and see if i can help. But i think you have a big problem.

PMed. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help.

UPDATE

My first IG acount reached 10K+ followers! Yeay! I know it's not a big deal for most of you guys here. But for me, it's something big that I achieved to keep me motivated in doing this journey.

I haven't made any money yet, the money I get from fiverr is still enough for me to live. But for now, I'll start promoting the merch through ig story (swipe up link) and let's see if it'll work. If it don't, I think I'm gonna sell something else.

For the others account, it grows very slow since I only have time once a day to upload a content and do the follow/unfollow, but some of it got some good reached and some are not.

For the youtube, not much happening yet. Still focus on making videos andupload like 2-3 days/video.

Wish me luck guys! And like always, if you have any suggestions, please let me know and I really appreciate that! Thank you

So much appreciated! Will give an update soon!

UPDATE

Nothing really special on this update. I said that before I'm starting to put swipe up link to my first ig page. But, it turns out so bad. My views drop so bad when I trying to put that on my story. Somehow, instagram won't put my stories on explore page if I put that.

Another thing, I just noticed my second ig theme page starting to get more reach than usual. But, it's not that crazy.

So, here is the stats.

Good job bro!
I have a question for you. You’re still using F/U for the Main account? I am not doing F/U at all on my 53k Instagram page. I am using just hashtsgs but they don’t perform well lately ( have no idea why) but I still get 35-55% from reach from explore page ( which is ok I guess). And also I get like 20-30 followers daily. But you crushing it.
How you get so many followers in such less time?

Not at all. I'm not so sure actually
But, mostly, I'm not only getting new followers from posts, but from stories. Like 1-3 times a week, my ig stories is blow up like crazy. People will start reacting to it. And for those who's not following me yet, I'll send a message "Hi, follow us @mypage for more!" and I'll say 50% of them will do.

And for the posts, sometimes it goes crazy, sometimes it don't. I don't really have the secret sauce

My daily new followers for my first ig acc is around: 100-200/day

That’s amazing!How you post stories so you reach people who don’t follow you? You’re using hashtags in stories? Location? I am not sure how you can reach other people who don’t follow you just with stories ..

Hi, sorry it takes me awhile to respond to your question. The answer is, I don't know!
I just upload a story using the content that I already posted and yeah, sometimes I just do the recycle thing. fyi, my stories not going crazy all the time. Sometimes it drops so bad. The crazy thing only happen like 2-3 times a week. LOL.

UPDATE TIME!
It's so extremely been awhile. No, I'm not busy, I'm just too lazy to make an update. LOL.
So, I've been procrastinate a lot for a few days before. Haven't received any order from Fiverr like a week, maybe more. But don't worry, I'm not quit. I'm still doing what I have to do, but not as crazy as before. I've tried to promote the POD shirts on my IG page, but yeah still no sales. Usually, my story views might hit like 2K-6K, but everytime I posted the t-shirt (with swipe up link), It goes down like crazy, It's not even hit 1K views. LOL.

So, I think the POD thing is not gonna work for me. I will try something else. No idea yet, I will just keep focus on growing them all.

The new thing is, now I'm growing another facebook page too. It's an old one and have like 3K likes organically. Yeah! It's getting a lot, haha! All these things are the step to achieve my goal! Let's go to the stats!

for story views I already mentioned it earlier. Sometimes it goes viral and might hit 10K+, but when drops, it only hik 1K.
For the rest, I'm not so sure how to count it. So, here's snapshot from a random website calculator. Not sure about the acuracy, but it close enough I think.

I would keep it and grow it more, maybe get a little bit higher engagement, before selling it

UPDATE TIME!
Hello there! It's been awhile. Today I got some mood to do some update. There are no bid deals yet, that's what made me so lazy to give an update. From now on, I am not gonna give an update for the facebook page journey since I'm not that active on it yet, just upload stuff there when I want to.

I have a bad news about my first ig acc. I'm not sure what happened, but the story views are drop so bad and didn't receive any new followers from it from the past 2-3 weeks I guess. I have a question,

Is story still able to hit explore tab? I can't find them now.

Let's go to the stat.

I'll keep going on this. This youtube thing is the reason that made me have no time to do facebook thing. So yeah, let's see how it's going. I wish I can start monetize the channel by the of the year.

Following. Why not create more designs and try RedBubble, Spreadshirt, Zazzle, Cafepress? This will make you money very fast than your current method.
Tip 1: Upload quality designs
Tip 2: Don't spam them.. You will be banned very soon.
$1K per month is not a big deal with those websites if you dedicate some time everyday.

Thank you so much for the tips! Really appreciated!
The only problem is I am not that good in making design. And everytime I tried to make one, it'll make me frustrated, lol. I'm not at the age of creativity anymore I guess, lol.
But, I think I'm gonna invest some money to hire people to do the design. Thank you!
