[SHOPIFY]My journey starts today!

Super long reply ,my bad. Read the whole thing,I'm sure you'll find it helpful.

So you decided on this niche cause you wanna take a different route and not be like everyone else. Good. But maybe you should put some thought into why no one is promoting this product. I'm not saying the product/niche isn't profitable but I'm just saying always think of both sides of the coin.

-If you don't want to go further with FB ads you have 2 more ways to drive traffic. Forums and Blogs.
I'm sure you'll find forums related to health issues,sleep issues(k maybe not that) or even parenting forums .Something in those lines. You can casually promote your store/products there.No don't go spam there"Hey I am new ,I have a store .Here is the link ,check it out I need to make a sale."
Do that and you'll just get banned. Instead do it more casually. Get on the forum with a proper account(profile pic ,bio etc) . Find topics related to your niche or similar and comment something like "Hey David(random name) I had the same issue you're talking about. Everyday I would get up with severe neckpain then my brother recommended me a product he found online. He said it really helped his wife with her neckpain and I should try it out.So I did and I'm glad I did cause the neck pain its a thing of the past now. You can check it out here if you'd like: https://sleepingdreams.myshopify.co...ducts/noyoke-orthopedic-health-care-pillow-hq . I'm sure it'll help you too.

Something like that ,make it seem super casual .Never tell em its your store . Make it seem like you're recommending a product to your actual friend.

Something like that for the blog commenting too.

Maybe just simply interact with other posts before you start sharing links in forums. Cause some uses will check your profile before they click on your link. Also if there is an Introduction sub forum,use it to introduce yourself.

-I see that you have anti snore mouthpiece. This one will really work with the ladies. You know they get irritated with their husbands snoring all night long.
Same thing for the body pillow. Try finding forums for new borns ..stuff like that.
-Other traffic sources? Pinterest. Look into it.

Quote from your post
"if you can't sleep well i have the solution, if you snore during the night i have the solution" kinda 90s tv ad :p

No I don't have a store but that doesn't mean you need to take my opinion lightly. . I have done a lot of research on this topic because I had plans to start one but I decided against it . Read a lot about it for a long time did a shit load of research on both forums/google/reddit and facebook groups. So I gathered a lot of info which well is of no use to me right now. So I might as well just help you out.

About the store.
-Get rid of the 'Powered by shopify'.
Scroll down and you'll find it.
-Theme? Here is a popular one:
https://themes.shopify.com/themes/testament/styles/revelation

I personally like revelation ,there are 3 other styles included.(I'm not affiliated to them)

-Products
Get rid of the sale. Looks too shady. Putting everything for offer doesn't earn you the trust of the customer imo nor does it prompt the customer to buy your product.

Also try including more products but cheaper. I get it if you charge a high price you have a higher profit margin ,but at the start try going for lower prices.

-Email List
Create an email list. If you don't know what an email list is ,its basically a list of email ids of people visitng your store (they'll have to voluntarly enter their email id) . You can send them promotion emails like discounts or a new product added to the store etc. But don't spam them with it cause they can unsubscribe.
Just google "how to create email list shopifiy" . You'll get a better understanding.

-The most important one.
Get a DOMAIN . No matter how good your product is,your store is and your prices are. A domain name really affects everything. Get rid of .myshopify . If you want to see any success with FB ads/Shopify in general.

Here is something which will really help you.
Check out Franklin Hatchett on YouTube(also a member of BHW,invented a super popular method). He is an expert in this field.And no he is not a "guru" trying to bank off others with useless courses. He believes in free information and shares it. The dude speaks the truth without the sugar coating. And no I am not affiliated to him in anyway,I'm just one his subscribers. He also has a group in facebook ,I'll send you a link in pm if you want.More than 30k members .They share screenshots of their success with Shopify+Dropshipping . Do QnAs and a lot more. I learned a lot from there.

Once again not affiliated to them in anyway ,like I mentioned above the info I gathered isn't much use to me right now so might as well help the others.

There is one more guy on YouTube,Sebastian Gomez(not affiliated) . Very informative and speaks the truth. He has a playlist with more than 80 videos on his channel which should help you.

You'll find others on YouTube like Dan Dasilva ,DeadBeat Affiliate etc stay away from them.

You stole someone's identity?What?
Click to expand...

Hey man thank you for all this information, in fact i asked you if you have a shopify store cause you have some really deep knowledge about this xD
You're right about the promotion part, because of the niche i won't use IG,i just can't find pages about this i'll try to search better,yesterday i started to answer in quora to topic in this niche but it was too late and i really fu***d up the personal part xD i wrote 2-3 lines and then BAM! put the link on it xD.
I started a tumblr account ,i will start to use pinterest and after my account will be something like 1 week old i will post on reddit too.
I'm thinking to put all the pillow on free shipping worldwide just have to figure out how can i free ship some products instead of other maybe you can help me with that?do you know how to charge shipping when someone order more than 1 item too?it would help me a lot.
I will buy a domain for sure these days i just have to wait Facebook cause i used another account(still mine tho)and now they think that i'm stealing my own identity xD
About the emails,i'm planning to use a app that when someone tries to exit automatically a pop up appears and for the email or some like on my pages the costumer will have a discount on all products.
I don't think i'm going to buy a theme, it's just too expensive for my budget i will stick with this unfortunately.
I'm doing franklin's everyday training xD i just didn't know he had a Facebook group too i will obviously enter in it
There's another guy too named Samir if i'm not wrong and he's starting to upload videos about how he did it, i just hope he will not do 30 minute video bragging about his store xD
If this will not go as i hoped i will switch niche and try with the "free product just shipping" style maybe it's better cause i can use e packet too.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all this help so much great people in this forum

-Yeah that's why I didn't recommend IG. Couldn't think of anything related to your niche.
Quora is great but yeah don't fuck up the personal part . Try Yahoo answers too.
Basically with free+shipping you just need to charge a good price which will cover your expenses of the product etc and give you a good profit margin. As for the number of items(quantity) it should automatically add up. Like if you're giving away the product for just 12$ shipping. If I decided to buy 2 of that product it should automatically double it to 24$.Maybe you have to set the price for an additional unit in the setting. Look it up.
Not sure what you mean with the facebook thing.

Yeah the app you're talking about for the email is what I was telling you about. Email list is effective if you use it right.

-Yeah no need to buy a theme if its out of your budget but make sure you check how your store looks on mobile. Since a lot of FB users are from mobile. Make sure the store looks good and easy to use online.

The link to his group is available on his video descriptions on his YouTube channel . You'll find it there,its called Online Samurais. Try asking questions there ,it will be way more effective than asking it here imo. Since almost all of them are into ecom in someway . Especially about the free+shipping you were asking me about.

Good luck and no problem!

Sleep-related words xD
But i make sure to target they behaviour,so there's more probability to target buyers.

I would also target people with back pain idk if theres an option[at least for the bamboo pillow and then say it helps back pain or w/e], and I would also target older people because they're usually the folks who have sleeping problems and will try to solve it with better sleeping aids [like better pillows and stuff]
 
Hey @11Yellow11
First of all, good luck, mate, i really wish you success in this great initiative you took!
i intend to start an IM business, maybe Shopify, i already have a niche i am very enthusiastic about, but i am kind of penniless these days, therefore, i can not afford to just jump into something and start losing money on it and face failure at the end.
i was wondering if you can tell me how much it cost you to start this shop, i mean everything in general.

Thank you man,Good luck to you too if you will start!
So,i spent 29.99 for the month subscription of shopify,then i'll spend 9/month if i'm not wrong for the app"Ali reviews"(It's a must to have) then i spent 1 euro for the domain on 1and1(registration promotion),you're not going to spend so much for the shop itself cause most of the "must to have"app are free(like oberlo,kit,facebook chat,and privy for the email list, these are the app that i personally use) unless you buy a theme,you're going to spend lot of time on it for sure,i mean a really big amount of hours will be focused on making the shop look as professional and trusty as possible(i had like two sleepless nights to set all up properly and i still think it's not enough)
But,a big chunk,no,nearly all your budget it's for the Ads,it depends if you will use instagram too, but for Facebook ads you're going to lose money for sure(unless you are a lucky motherfucker xD)cause Facebook needs time to optimize your ad it's a bit complicated but just watch Franklin Hatchett(thank Azt3c xD that was really helpful)and you will understand how it works, basically you run like 4 ad for few days with a testing budget(like 5$)and see if one of them makes sales in the first 5 days, obviously kill the one who don't make sales and kill the one with few sales but cost too much per click, keep those who have 4-5 sales and those who have less sales but cheap cost per click, then start to grow the budget of the SAME ad and if i'm not wrong duplicate it.Basically it's like this.
For NOW i spent like 7 euro cause it's the first day for the ad(it will finish tomorrow at 9 am Italy hour),i had issue with Facebook(fuck zuckerberg) and for now it's ok, about 3 and a half hundred impression and 6 link click, no sales tho xD
DON'T give up if you're spending money cause as i said Facebook needs time to work properly, like 4-5 days so make sure to not give up prematurely.
I suggest to start this when you will have a considerable budget cause you'll never know how this ad goes,just keep grinding like a grinder with a hard weed xD
Hope that i helped you.Thank you again man.

Yeah but i had an idea yesterday and i think i will try to search for pages about health and care,something like that
I will stick with these niche tho, in case i already have another good niche for the free+shipping style already saved all the products and all the public that i will use xD just to be prepared you know.
Yeah Quora is great, just have to answer when i'm fully awake haha you know that i totally forgot about yahoo answer?Damn that is a really really good idea
I solved the problem for the multiple shipping, just change the shipping rate and the weight of the products and you're ok.
I donwloaded this email app for FREE that is great great great, a pop up appears when you scroll 25% of the page and it pop ups when you're trying to leave the page it's amazing!I also download a Facebook chat app, i think it gives more trust and professionality at the shop
I have to THANK YOU for the franklin hatchett,cause i was only following his course on email but i found his channel and some of his videos that are really really helpful, his information can be selled for hundreds of dollars but he gives it for FREE his just so damn right with all the things he says, most of the youtube make 30 minutes of video without saying even 15% of information he gives in 20 min it's amazing.
Thank you man you helped me a lot with these journey!

Of course i target old people xD most of the old people have problems with sleeping, and without trying to offend, they're so innocent, they're like a kid surfing on the internet cause they don't really understand so much about it, btw there's no option for back pain and all related pain,i tried the roncopathia option that are the BEST people to target for this, but Facebook doesn't allow it, i can't even write "STOP SNORING" in my ad damn(fuck zuckerberg)
I targeted they behaviour too so i can increase the chance to reach people that are buying on internet i can get rid of many people with that.
 
well your selling a pillow for $15 that is $13.88 on aliexpress, first thought is how are you going to profit using facebook ads? second thought is if i could find this product on google for cheaper, why would i even buy from you? I wouldnt. change the titles of your products so people cant google them, if someone likes something on your store 90% if them will google it to try find a cheaper one.
 
Good luck with your journey man. Will be watching this closely.
