An Aussie tries to build a successful business for the umpteenth time..... [Accountability thread]

Starting this thread for accountability and feedback.

I am currently attempting 3 things:
1) SAAS Product - Partnership between myself (non-technical) and a coder
2) Ecommerce - Pet Accessories - Testing initially via dropshipping
3) Build Personal Brand to improve a) network and b) Promote 1)

1) SAAS Product - Partnership between myself (non-technical) and a coder

• Currently nearly finished coding the web app on a no code tool. Just waiting for my coder to structure his side of things in terms of API's and widget so he can add it onto my website.
• Drafting the marketing plan on how I am going to bring in my initial users. I understand the marketing will be the most difficult, so I am trying to put my name out there first before I start selling anything, to have people as part of a warm funnel

2) Ecommerce - Pet Accessories

• Working with Google Ads experts on moving past the Misrepresentation policy breach on Google Merchant Centre. I will find out in 2-3 days if I can get approved. If not, I suspect it's due to dropshipping and Google does not like it - which is fine and understandable.
• Looking at potentially sourcing and storing accessories myself at home and shipping for sales.

3) Build Personal Brand

• This one is really hard because I am not someone that likes to put myself out there. I have created a twitter account lol. And goal is to post daily about ramblings on this journey. And comment on others people in a similar journey to myself.

1) SAAS Product - Partnership between myself (non-technical) and a coder

• Finished the coding as an MVP. Have a meeting with my partner tomorrow to start testing.
• Marketing Plan is in progress. Hoping to finish by today. Once complete, I will start drafting content to cover 3 months worth.

2) Ecommerce - Pet Accessories

• Working with Google Ads experts on moving past the Misrepresentation policy breach on Google Merchant Centre. She's cited that there is still an issue and could be due to missing GTIN numbers. I think this can be fixed if I buy a whole bunch of new ones
• Identified Ali Baba suppliers and have a list. Will need to re-read one of the sourcing textbooks that i bought year ago from some guy on the forums. this will help further filter out the list.

3) Build Personal Brand

• Been posting on twitter and the feed i am mostly getting feels like copy to sell courses. I guess that's fine - hopefully over time, I can filter out to genuine and authentic people that don't carefully craft their tweets.
• Responded to some dude on tiktok and said id help him build a community. he was interested, so ill wait for his response
