Shopify with oberlo - building a brand

Daily update (29/07/2018)
Hello guys, today was a pretty busy day, not gonna lie, here is all the things:

### Stats ###

• 181 +39 Followers (220)
  
• 101 +16 Shopify Sessions (117)
  
• 3 +1 Contacts on email list (4)
  
• 1 +0 Conversions (1)
• 0 +0 FB Likes -> New stat, will build the Facebook page too (I will not focus here by now, but will help me convert some traffic to the store)

### Work Done ###
> Let me see, I made some follow/like Instagram like always, pretty much the same thing, to get some more followers, as soon as Instagram posts...Tried a new post style which was pretty successful
> Finally made some schedules around Instagram posts
> Finished my spreadsheets to help me get more organized
> Store updates, installed a Facebook support chat and, since I had to make a page to it, I started to build a store/page to my brand so I can dropship or get some costumers from there as well as start posting some articles from the blog that I plan to implement in the store, this way I think I can get some more attention to the website...

### Bank ###
$ +2,00

Could not manage to plan my posts ahead yet, but is something that I really need to do. Now with the Facebook page, I'm targeting 3~4 Instagram posts daily, just need to get a good timing with it, as well as third party articles so I can write something to post on the future blog. A lot of work is coming...

That's it
The stats are growing slowly, but my followers are engaged, I'm happy with it
I'm building a solid base, because next month I think I'll start investing some money on ads, I'll start to do some tests with it

See you!

By now I didn't expend anything, I'm still on Shopify trial days...
Let's see if I can make $ 29.00 until 05 August, otherwise this will be my first expense
And I didn't invested anything other than time

### Bank ###
$ +2,00

Today was a pretty basic day, but managed to do a lot of things, now the set is completed (blog + Instagram + Facebook)
Since Instagram is getting me that daily traffic to the website, it's time to scale this with the Facebook page and some keyword traffic trough the blog

See you! I'm really tired for today D:

* I'm thinking that I'll do weekly updates for now on guys, this way the growing will be more noticeable, since it's the very beginning! Let's see

Good Luck Mate!

Weekly update (04/08/2018)
Hey guys, here we are again, this time with some higher numbers
It has been a great week with a lot of progress so far

### Stats ###

• 254 +195 Followers (449)
  
• 138 +108 Shopify Sessions (246)
  
• 4 +5 Contacts on email list (9)
  
• 1 +1 Conversions (2)
• 0 +0 FB Likes << Meh, I'm not doing anything here other than publishing my articles links (Its something for near days I guess lol)

### Work Done ###
> I don't recap all the things I done, but I thing most important ones was that the store now has a blog to post the articles as well as 2 articles already
> The Shopify store got some improvements trough the Shopify apps, I'm just planning to install something so the costumers can track their order easily later
> Instagram is doing very well, got a pretty great engagement on my posts
> Store catalogs has a lot of products already (compared to last week)
> Mailchimp has some campaigns and some bulk emails already sent so I could try bring back these people who subscribed
> Made another sale just today, \o/ but I couldn't manage to get $ 29.00 to pay the Shopify that will be charged tomorrow (this will be my first investment)
> Manage to separate a cool list of content that I choose randomly everyday for the Instagram post, this way I don't loose much time searching for something cool to post

### Bank ###
$ +10,00 (Around 10 dollars profit, already subtracting the price that I paid for the products that has been ordered)

Since I'm doing a lot of things simultaneously I'm getting a bit lost trough the day... I had to make some better planning.
That's it, I'm very focused into making this work

See you guys later!

Hello guys,
Its been some days since I post the last update, but no, I didn't gave up, actually I'm full of tasks so I didn't manage to get time to come here...
But lets go, here are the current status:


### Stats ###

• 449 +710 Followers (1158)
  
• 246 +674 Shopify Sessions (920)
  
• 4 +11 Contacts on email list (15)
  
• 2 +1 Conversions (3)

Ouch, there's a lot of news, but the most important ones is that I managed to buy Jarvee with the sales profit, which is helping me a lot, specially with posts schedule
Got an affiliate platform as well and managed to get 4 affiliates already which are helping me to grow the brand.
The guy that I sent the free product became one affiliate and drove me some visitors with the shoutout, pretty great stuff...
Made some new sales and with the profit I did a quick 24 hours giveaway to increase a little bit my followers and it was a huge success, I shipped the product to the guy today
The website is pretty neat, with great apps, products and beautiful design.
Managed to find a photographer that will work with me sooner, I'm just waiting some more bucks to ship some products. This will help me a lot advertising with exclusive pictures.

And I think that's it, the blog is doing great, driving me some small traffic, but it's growing
The Facebook page I was working today, will start to use it since the Instagram/Pintrest is on auto-pilot now

** Is there a way to upload pictures to my post? or which websites can I use to host and get a url? wanted to show you guys the stats screenshots, but didn't find the upload option. **

### Bank ###
$ +37,00 (It's an estimated value)
I'm not doing any paid stuff, sometimes I do $1 stuff just to learn how to use, but in general I'm driving traffic to the store with free strategies

Thanks guys, see you soon again!

Inspiration right there man GL

Hey op, is this thing still going on? Would be glad to have updates about how it went after that!

Just a little quick update
I just made my first sale

It's crazy to me to see you make a first sale after one day of starting and just by following people and uploading a few pictures on Instagram? I've had my store opened up for 2 weeks now with FB ads / IG Shout outs and Promos and STILL haven't gotten my first sale!
