    I agree on software I love physical products too, but you need something truly remarkable now to do anything with ads. Everyday there are thousands of junks getting displayed, for me the only way I see eCommerce work now for a new company is to have something amazing that can support organic...

    Well, I wish I could actually start, that's the problem... I have proof of demand for this product, it's unique, good margins (enough to be profitable with a $40 cost per acquisition) and give value. If I could do it, yes I would do it

    The worst is that it's a local manufacturer, here in Bali, so there are no covid problems, it's just that they made mistakes on the deadlines and promised things they could not do. I contacted another one, and they told me they couldn't do what I wanted. Then you see people selling their shitty...

    18/03/2022 The local supplier I found is taking days to reply and is already one week late for the prototype. I feel like this is never going to end. I absolutely hate dealing with suppliers, no matter who I'm dealing with, there is always an issue. Incredible. Well, seems like I'm not any...

    15/03/2022 Experience results are pretty ok. Not great, but still ok. It's confirming my hypothesis about one product variant over another. I'm sure I can improve the results by bumping my AOV etc.. later. Anyway, I'm going to invest in inventory, at least if the final product is good. I...

    09/03/2022 I think my main client (and only source of income) want me out. I'm really F*cked if that's the case. On the other side, I made ads sending people to a "fake" product page. The product page is like a real one, but I don't have the product in stock, so if there is any purchase, I'll...

    Exactly, this is so fkign frustrating... I feel like I'm not doing shit. When I watch back two or four, other than knowledge, nothing has changed. Hard to say. Big thing rn is money. I started going crazy with product designs, but now I might lose my last consulting client, and so, my only...

    06/03/2021 Still waiting for samples. I got scammed by one supplier who never sent samples properly, and pretty much the same for the second one. I only received samples from one. Honestly, I'm pissed by Chinese suppliers, I don't think I want to work with them, considering there might be...

    07/01/2021 Long time no post! I haven't done much since then, as I'm STILL waiting for my supplier to ship me the proper samples. This is so annoying, there is too much shit going on every time. Wrong fabric, wrong colors, bad quality. This is really pissing me off, I'm already one month late...

    16/01/2021 So, I ended took some vacation, and it felt good! Almost didn't work at all from the end of December to early January. I received my first samples/prototypes (which still need improvement), launched ads, hired a new employee, and a bunch of other stuff. I'm going to change my...

    18/12/2021 Here I am again, in the wasteland of waiting. I'm in one of those situations where there isn't much to do besides waiting. The referral program isn't working as expected, but leads are still coming in for a pretty good price. I'm waiting for the suppliers to ship me the first...

    08/12/2021 I finished the referral page where people can get a unique URL and refer their friends. For each amount of friends referred, they can earn free stuff. Hopefully, I'll get a 10% "virality" rate on that one. Was a bit shitty to set up but it seems to be working properly. I now have...

    I've tried multiple "free" eCommerce solutions available, Prestashop, Woocommerce, etc... Let's be honest, most suck compared to Shopify, in every regard. however, they can be great in 3 cases (same as coding your own website): You can't afford Shopify $30/month fee You already have an army of...

    04/12/2021 Leads are around $1.3-$1/each now depending on the adset, got + 250 total. I'm making split-tests with the landing page to improve the conversion rate (25-30% right now) and the same for the ads, testing other audiences and later creatives. There are survey results I wasn't...

    So far I have 30 leads already at $1.5/each Haven't sent an email to my list yet, that proves that there is at least interest in the product in cold audiences. When people subscribe, I send them a form to understand their needs better. That actually gave me pretty good insights so far, things...
