Hi,

as i already mentioned in my Intro I already had an ok going e-commerce store in the past. I will now completely rebrand it create the company under my own name (not my parents like it was in the past) and try to scale through different forms of advertising and also SEO.
The first steps for me to take are:
  • Opening up the company on paper
  • Reconnecting with my old manufacturers and asking if the prices have changed and if we can make a deal
  • Doing testing on the product and figuring out a good dosage via research
  • Designing the packaging or hire someone to do it
  • Designing the website
  • Getting good copy for my products
  • Come up with a good shipping method, that was one of my biggest painpoints in the past
  • Coldcalling businesses once the Product is out in the market again so I have the opportunity to sell in their shops via commision
  • Opening up an affiliate programm via Shopify
  • Getting into alternate payment methods since PayPal probably won't work (CBD)
  • Getting into Native Advertising and maybe Snapchat/Twitter/Tiktok since CBD is banned from Facebook
This is just the beginning for me. Since I am in university I sadly won't have to much time during my semester to work on this business but once the summer rolls around time shouldn't be the limiting supply anymore. I am looking forward to updating this post as little as possible but as often as necessary since I don't want it to turn into action faking. Have a good one!
