I want to change my default delivery location to the USA, what zip code should I use?

I just wanted to get peoples opinions on ads, so I have just completed my first month and I must say I’m surprised and happy with the results. However, I’m not sure how affective the ads are. It says a lot of my sales came from ads, but further research it doesn’t actually look like it. I have turned my ad campaign off and I want to see if that will affect my sales, it’s more that the cost of ads are starting to swallow the revenue up. So I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing something wrong. Any suggestions or am I just blowing hot air here lol!

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing good. I know most of us sell mainly on Etsy, but I’m wondering if anyone here actually runs Shopify (or any off-Etsy site) as their main store. If you do, how has it been? Is it actually sustainable long term? A little about me: I’ve sold 600+ posters on Etsy so far, and I’m really grateful for it. But I’m at a point where I want to start building something outside of Etsy. As great as Etsy is, it never feels 100% secure, one random policy change or issue and your whole shop could disappear overnight. I don’t want my entire business depending on one platform forever. So I’d love to hear from anyone who: - Uses Shopify as their main source of sales - Has built something that isn’t fully tied to Etsy - Or teaches/mentors people on how to grow this into a more long-term, stable business Any honest advice, experiences, or direction would mean a lot. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. 🙏

Is everyone stating that their posters arrive rolled up in high quality tubes? I have reason to believe that’s not always the case for some printers in the US.

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been juggling a few things lately, and I’d love to hear some real experiences from people in this community. I currently run an online fitness dropshipping store that’s doing well (around $25k/month), and now I’m planning to start another business. The challenge is figuring out how to balance both without letting one suffer. Part of me is thinking about pausing the store for a bit so I can fully focus on the new project… but I’m not sure if that’s the smartest move. For those of you who manage multiple businesses or brands at once—how do you do it without burning out or slowing down your main source of income? Do you think it’s better to pause one business temporarily or build systems to run everything side by side? Would love to hear your thoughts, advice, or even what you’re personally doing right now. Your experiences could really help! 💬🔥
