I’ll be honest… starting my online store felt exciting — until it didn’t. I launched my first store thinking “If I build it, they’ll come.” I spent weeks picking a theme, writing product descriptions, even making a logo — but when I went live… crickets. 😞 I had zero orders for almost a month. I felt like I did everything right, but clearly something was missing. 👉 Here’s what I was doing wrong: - I was trying to sell to everyone — which meant I was speaking to no one. - I didn’t understand product-market fit — I was guessing what people wanted. - I had no real content or brand — just generic ads and a pretty site. So I stopped trying to “look successful” and started learning from people actually making sales. Here’s what I changed: - Niche focus — I picked ONE audience and tailored everything to them. - Product research — I started using tools and watching what was already working (instead of reinventing the wheel). - Content > Ads — I started creating short-form video content (just with my phone!) and showing up consistently. And now? I’m getting daily sales. Not millions (yet 😅), but enough to prove it works — and enough to reinvest and scale.
