Earlier today I launched an ecommerce store that I have been putting together on the side...

I've been selling this product for a couple of weeks locally in my city, but finally got the online side of it set up

Here is a little timeline of how this little project went:

- initial idea/concept
- get validation from target audience
- source product
- order sample stock
- receive sample
- order first run
- buy domain
- set up ecommerce store
- register business
- set up bank accounts and payment processing
- get designs and graphics done
- get social media running
- make Facebook ad campaign
- sales

I set up my ad campaigns and left the house to go coach.

20mins later I got this cool notification

First online sale!

Since then a few more have trickled in..

I've spent 3.54 on ads, costing me 0.03-0.04 per engagement! Relevance score is 10/10 right now.

Fulfilment and drop shipping will be organised soon, and I will continue to optimize the ads. Still fixing up more tracking and analytics for the ads and the online store and looking to add more products.

This is just a little side thing for me and I'll try and keep everyone that is interested up to date with it.

But the main thing to take from this is to TAKE ACTION.

Other than waiting for my product to arrive to me, the rest of the process was accomplished in less then a week.

And for anyone with affiliate marketing/Internet marketing experience... Take advantage of the skills you have learned to drive traffic and sales and apply it takes o something.

I have been using copy and advertising to great benefit in my personal business, and as a real estate agent. Make it work for you.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to the post office to mail these new orders out :)
