Wanted to drop- ship but I failed!

terinah14 · Jun 9, 2016

I read a method last week about creating an e-commerce site and then promoting it to forum admins (of the same niche)

It was a pretty simple strategy at least it seemed like it but I failed! Maybe because I chose a Hello Kitty niche? There are already a lot of Facebook, IG and Twitter stores promoting their Hello kitty products.

I wanted to start FB advertising but I don't want to spend just yet.

Can you explain how you failed? Or what was the problems/hurdles you couldn't over come?

mikamartins · Jun 9, 2016

you just spotted the problem by yourself, you entered in a over saturated niche and it is difficult to be successful while at it.
you have to choose a niche which is underated and under saturated and work your way up, until you make decent cash.

Failure cannot be determined by the fact that you didn't see any results over a one week period.

Hello Kitty is an excellent niche, and no niche is impenetrable.

Don't give up.

Gotta branch to other traffic sources, forums, videos/youtube,ppc, email websites targetting people in your niche and ask to advertise in exchange for $, and SEO. One of those will bring in the dough.

I think hello kitty will do well with facebook, maybe there is a free code to try out facebook somewhere. If not you can get good results with just $5 a day in advertising for testing.

If you haven't mastered PPC then dropshipping may not be for you. Be it Adwords, Facebook, Bing, or some other network PPC is the fastest way to test a niche idea.

1. Marketing is my main problem. I don't have a lot of followers - just 14k on twitter and a few hundreds on Facebook. I tried posting on groups, but there has not been a lot of reactions to my product.

2. Product is not cheap for Asian countries - I want to target US or UK, but apparently, they are not very interested with it.

I understand. But my hosting is just for 1 month

Maybe if I keep adding products, more people will notice...

I considered that. I already tried forums but didn't see success in there.

I tried Bing because it's the cheapest I can find but the traffic is really low... I'll try Facebook next.

*she

I would try fb ads again and experiment

What's ur niche? Maybe the engagement isn't good? Or product isn't appealing.

Product seems appealing in Facebook groups. It's hello kitty products I think I just need to reach out to more people
