Hey Fastlane,

I decided to get started dropshipping this year and made my first store

I would appreciate it if anyone of you could look at the site and let me know what you think
The purpose of the site is to combine your smartphone and wallet so it's easier to keep track of both
Especially as the country starts to open up again and things return back to a new normal

I haven't started running ads yet but I'm going to start with Facebook / Instagram ads before the end of May
I probably need a better landing page but it’s still a work in progress

Hey Fastlane,

Some suggestions:
- Invest in some good themes that look better than stock Shopify designs.
- Remove the "Powered by Shopify" in the footer.
- Serif font is terrible in header area and looks generic. Go Sans-serif. Look around at other shops and see what they use. (Even Amazon)
- Find someone to make a professional looking logo. This current one looks circa-1998.
- Create a better shop name.

The shop doesn't look trustworthy in it's current iteration, but that can change. Must differentiate and must be unique in this crowded space. Anyone can create these shops. It breaks the commandment of Entry. (Also breaks "Control" commandment too.) I'd re-read TMF .

How's the store doing?
I haven't made a single sale, and I'm not confident in the product
Probably going to save up some more money and try another product
Just going to keep throwing shit against the wall until I find something that sticks

Pretty cool.
Also add a FAQ page and a Track your order page.

Don't forget reviews, reviews brother!
I believe OOTB shopify uses the mobile app 'shop' to track user purchases but yeah, I need reviews going forward

Maybe makeup, beauty products, car parts?

that wallet deal isn't a bad concept, my fiancé uses something similar to that but we found it on amazon not via add. Wonder if you just aren't reaching the right people

Bro, at least read the books before posting here...

I'm going to be very critical, but hopefully that will makes you think

No one wants a crappy wallet you probably found on Aliexpress. Thousands of people sell a better version on Amazon, so why the heck would I buy yours? You have no reviews telling me yours is better, nothing unique, and the website looks sketchy af (not to mention nothing happens when you click "add to cart").

I see zero competitive advantage here.

Make a GOOD product that bring value, don't resell crap from China

After launching I agree
