Shopify Dropshipping using AliExpress One product store | Let's go

Update

Struggling has officially began
After sitting around and only getting one sale last night I ended up getting upset and made 2 other crazy campaigns. As of right now I have 4 active campaigns running. All of these campaigns are conversion campaigns and the conversion event is set to "purchase". Each campaign only has one ad set and 3 ads. Those three ads are all copies, so it's one original ad with two duplicates. I have the campaigns budgets all at $10/daily except one which is $25 (Was $30 but I brought it down to $25 and will edit it every other day down $5 so it will match the other ones and if any of these other ones start doing good I'll reward them with increasing their campaign budget OR I'll copy that winning campaign and set a higher daily ad spend with it.)

I want to give these four campaigns 3 days before I judge them. So starting now I'll turn my head away from this and fulfill orders if they come in, but I believe I should get MORE orders than I have ever before from this new set up with this greater complexity. If not then I'll need to remaster my ad strategy. My confidence is actually wishy washy as I look at the data and what I've created should in fact do better with purchase conversions now. I do not want to believe that cronovirus has any effect on this campaign and in the event that it does then the news is a piece of crap for stretching something out of shape when it's just another new virus like all these previous years, but oh well let the 3 days begin now.

Active Campaigns: 4
Waiting: Three days to check the results
Today is day one​
 
It's a hard game mate. Once you feed your pixel it will get better.
*I'd do 3 ads sets with one ad, instead of 1 ad set with 3 ads.

What I do with those three ads in the ad set is see which ad performs better and turn the other two off after awhile. I do this because I think the ad doesn't always optimize right and just eats your money but I am new at this and have all sorts of theories. The ad set might flunk too and I'm watching it's ads. So many problems could happen. My first adset that I've made had two ads and one did better than the other and that just stuck in my head this whole time. Have you been getting better success by just using only one ad in the adset compared to the multiple ads in one adset? Thanks fornthe advice and everything. I'm really trying to figure out what works best so I can keep going.
 
Informative and inspiring for a total noob as myself. Good luck for your journey!
 
UPDATE

✔️ Goal Completed: Make $800 in sales within one month
I'm at $960 in sale at the moment for this month but I'm at a loss
Will slow down this venture due to coronavirus ‍♀️
A few days ago I got a copyright infringement and had my store modified and products disappear because of the Shopify staff. When that happened I disabled all of my ads and fixed the situation and then enabled the ads back. Lesson learned - Do not enable them back. Create new ads! I lost $100 because of my store going down from copyright (I didn't know my store was down but also had ads running) but then lost more money by enabling the ads thinking they'll work like before. I lost around $190 - $200+ I haven't done the math. Now my local area is getting affected by the virus and I may lose my day job for a week or two. I have utility bills to pay and I do not have a ton in the bank account. So with that I have only a very few ads running and may turn they all off depending on the sales. I have got two emails from buyers asking about their orders and I replied to them with a tracking code. I will still continue this venture but for now it's being played on the extreme low end. I have started to use IG story and did get sales. Most of all my sales are from a video creative that I used on IG feed. Now all I will be able to do with this project is slowly recover the virus situation whenever that happen ‍♀️ then put more into this venture.

Next Goal: 100 purchases. Currently at 36 with total sales $1,179.41 (Last month plus this month)
I was doing a profit with this store but started messing with ads and then started losing money. Then the copyright happened and I enabled disabled ads which for some reason never converted into any sales. This store is helping me learn how the ads work

Goals
100 purchases (36 right now)
✔️ Make $800 in sales within one month ✔️ ($960 now)
(New) Get 10 sales from IG story ads within a week
(New) Go back into this venture after virus stops affecting local environment​
 
I feel with you. In Europe where I am, we have lockdown and you can imagine the rest. Still, I wish you all luck for your venture.

Is that mean shopify don't allow dropshiping? From whom did you received copyright claim?

Glad you're doing well, i have two main questions please as i'm creating my store as i type these lines:

What Shopify theme you're using for one product store?

And what PayPal account you're using on Shopify, a personal account or a business account? if your answer is business, then is it ok to link a personal PayPal account to Shopify?

Wish you good luck
