    Year End Thought Exercise: 10 Questions to Ask about This Year

    MINDSET 
    What was your biggest triumph? Was there several, or none? Why? My biggest triumph was making consistent sales with my dropshipping store and getting to 5 figures after 2-3 month. This was huge because I had done it for years (on and off) but once I stuck to it, the penny dropped and the...

    12/01 Update: Worked on master template on Wordpress and tried make up some updates to website that I feel would be useful, by coding it in. Got there eventually but was a massive pain in the butt. I generally prefer shopify because it's more intuitive. But wordpress is okay once you get used...

    I scarcely believe the headline, but fake it till you make it, right? Was inspired by this thread by @markspray, and won my first client after experimenting with meta ads, late last year for building a website. So I am going to double down on this and see how far I go. About myself: Based in...

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    thats awesome! i built a website for a client recently and built it on top of a template that i bought. In the end, the template was great but I didn't feel that I had enough "control" over some of the design aspects, so I'll be building my own template and looking to re-use that across...

    this is underrated advice, where I have had good ideas but I don't want to go into production or sample, not knowing if it would sell or not. I will be using this when I launch a proper brand! thanks for sharing!

    Finished my abandoned cart email flow, using klaviyo and canva. Pretty hard to learn at first but got the hang of it in the end. Also set up some automations to update paypal tracking numbers automatically. This will save me heaps of time and hopefully also means that I can reduce the "on holds".

    Just an update, had a $1k day in revenue yesterday which was nice. This was then followed by a not so great day so law of averages works out nicely here. I am also incorporating a more robust email flow for abandoned cart recovery, based on loss aversion techniques and unity. Basically used the...

    New milestone is probably seeing if I can consistently do $200 per day in profit. Right now, I am probably averaging around $50-100. And just keep levelling up

    i need to share this somewhere. about 3 weeks ago i got a chargeback claim from a customer. email correspondence was mainly about slow delivery, and he was pretty manipulative in saying that he bought my product "elsewhere", so wants me to process a full refund. then he accused me of being a...

    no major updates since. making reasonably consistent sales, even though i have increased prices for one of products to control the amount of orders come in. just currently focused on systemizing quality checking things like shipping progress to get ahead of any delayed orders

    Havent updated for a while. In summary, customer service sucks. But being in the fire (x-mas period with sales) means I am having to come up with a robust system on how to reply to customers and proactively plan for delayed deliveries. This will serve me well once I am properly scaling. Right...

    The main reason I ask is because this was giving me a lot of anxiety recently with my dropshipping business, so I had created a substack post (which is copied and pasted below, I think its against rules to promote until 100 posts?) which shows how I dealt with it: I have been getting a lost of...
