Thinking about starting Shopify store...

Hello BHW, I've been brainstorming a lot, and come to an idea - starting a Shopify store...The idea primary is to do affiliate item (Amazon etc.).Soo I won't have to deal with dropshipping and all other things, just to get my %, but I know the hardest part is to promote it, I'm on a tight budget, of course, I have money for domain n stuff, but I don't have hundreds and thousands of dollars to market this store , is anyone have previous experience with Free Traffic & Ads plugin ?They have some cheap and free plans..Any other ways to promote Shopify store for free or little money? The main theme would be strange, weird, funny stuff..some things you would buy for your best friends and get an epic reaction from them. Thanks for reading and hopefully help me with this.

You might want to buy some cheap instagram accs and bot and promote as much as possible

I recommend that you go for influencers instead of ADS

Thanks, I've tasted in past Instagram but without major help of bots, but will dig deeper in that, thanks. About influencers - I think they will ask too much, there will be no 250k + influencer, that will agree for 50 $ for the shotout post. But will go for that for sure when money will be right

Only go into FB ads if you know what you are doing! Ecommerce is getting a bit saturated now so you need to put more effort into it

This.
Social media promotion sounds good and easy but you can easily end up wasting money on ads.
So either put in some time first and learn how it works or hire a smart guy to do it for you.

Influencers are your best shot since you lack money for marketing (cheaper).
ADs on FB or whatever needs shit loads of money to start seeing real conversions (which apparently you can't afford).
Or you can use the dirty BH Spam thing lol on big accounts/ groups. as a start.

Influencers, on a low budget, really? I've seen travel niche 170k followers asking for $4k for one post. Fact. That's a bit extreme, but they are not cheap these days
If you are on a budget you want to do ONLY something you can track and analyze. Get your money worth and see how you can grow from there
I'd not gamble with influencers, just do the FB ads, plant the pixel everywhere and feed it with data, split test
But, then again, if $50 is all you can bet on - there are better ways to spend that money may be
