    Just to update the situation. Thank you everyone for your input. I have settled with doing my best one more time with t-shirts. This time I am deadset on a niche. It's sport bike riders. I have researched the niche well. Found all of the groups, came up with a strategy to test the product on...

    Thanks for calling me out on this, and I believe you are right. I just can not come up with anything better right now. In the worst case after really trying and not half-assing one more time I think I will learn much more than just the fact that I failed. And I believe this time it will work...

    I admit it, I am scared. I am afraid to lose more money without gaining any. It's really scary knowing that I am on my last breath AGAIN. I want it this time to work. And it will. For the testing method, I think I've nailed it :) I hope I am not wrong, but maybe others can pitch in as well: 1)...

    Yeap... I feel like that is me. On one hand, since I don't know any better at the moment I should continue doing what I've done, but improve and make it even better. Commit even more to one thing and stick with it until I have drained all of my possible efforts and budget in that one field...

    and Exactly what I was looking for! :) Thank you. I feel like the harsher and more straight to the point the people on this forum are, the faster you get back up. PS. Thank you to all of the people that have commented above and got my mind thinking the right thoughts again. @Goldman snacks...

    I've tried coming up with designs that I thought would sell and dumping money into that. It turns out those designs were only pretty, but no one would wear them. Then I tried coming up with my own designs, that of course didn't work as well. In total I just burned that money. Why it won't...

    I would like to ask you guys what would you do next. Your opinions matter as I am completely lost at the moment and would like some guidance from the people here. Since I've joined the forum I've done several things related to e-commerce but now I am puzzled as what to do next. From the time...

    Aliexpress Dropshipping Sucks!

    EXECUTION 
    Guys, Aliexpress is a dead end. It's not a business. It's a fantastic way to learn about selling and acquiring massive heeadaches with customer support. It's a sure way to lose your head and money. I would not do it again if I wanted to make money.

    Aliexpress Dropshipping Sucks!

    EXECUTION 
    I guess @IGP is always right... The problem is me. I am afraid to spend $200 more bucks testing just 1-5 products. I feel like they are just going to fail and I will yet again lose my money. But then again ... Was it really that hard for all of you guys when you were just starting out? Or am...

    EXECUTION 
    @IGP thank you for sharing your wisdom :) I indeed f#ked on product selection part and I am utterly terrible at it. Since I have a variety of products to dropship my biggest concern is product selection. I really don't know what to try out. BUT, here is the big BUT: what I liked about this...

    What I've learned after spending $1,000 on Facebook ads I guess it's time for an update. The more you take action, the more you results you get. However, the fewer minutes you spend on the forum :S Some stats: Total Sales: $1,022 Facebook Ad Costs: $1,030 COGS: $625 Products Launched to Date...

    Earn $50 by June 31st. Budget $350

    EXECUTION 
    I feel like I should rename this progress thread: "Earn $50 by January 31st. Budget 3K" because so far I am at a net $625 loss, excluding hosting and learning expenses. And I F*cking love it! <3

    Facebook Ad targeting question

    MARKETING 
    $100 is nothing. $1,000 is nothing. I've spent $1K on ads thus far and have only found out that I know not one iota of how to sell on Facebook. But the most valuable thing I've gained is sales. I've felt the process with my bare hands and that is what's invaluable. So get dirty and spend little...

    Thank you for calling me out on this. Sometimes I get so angry about the truth that I just can't hold back. But I do believe and realize that humble is the way to be. :(
