Update:
So this was a pretty successful week for me. The 8$ shoutout that was supposed to run on friday was delayed all the way back to monday(yesterday). From that 8$ shoutout I got 64$ in sales and after the product costs and paypal fees including the 8$ shoutout I get approximatively 15$ profit. I got 132 visits 4 add to cart 3 checkout and 2 conversions.
I also have 2 active affiliates but they are really really bad although they have 20k and 10k followers, I only got 13 visits from both of them. I won't be dealing with small accounts anymore I'll just stick with medium accounts then move to big accounts later.
I've also been contacted by another account that offers a shoutout for 24$ for post + story for 24h. I'll try to cut his price to 10$ for a 10h post + story.
I've also decided to raise my prices a little bit more since I checked on my competitors and they have way more expensive prices than me, the advice I got from that influencer might be wrong since he's from italy and my customers are from the US.
One thing I've done that might have increased my traffic was that I followed every single person that liked the shoutout picture with my store's account (it got like 1.2k likes).
My other niche account is at 400 followers right now and I started using followplanner's regular cycle 3 days ago.
In the weekend I worked on another store using the affiliate free until 50 orders "trick", I will tell you how I'll market it when I figure out the whole strategy.
Btw I made a mistake because I didn't install the FB pixel, I will be running ads at some point might as well get some data first...
Regarding how to get affiliates and how to message 50 people at once watch this video (not mine)
