Disclaimer slight rant
So I have been working my business and I have always have had a task to keep moving the business forward. Literally clueless now. My marketing just doesn't work.
I tried all the tactics that all these people used to grow their business and this venture has no sales. The influencer marketing is hard as hell when you just starting out. Nobody wants to promote a nobody brand, but then again you need influencers to promote so I become a somebody.
It's like chicken and egg scenario.
Response rates are terrible for influencers. I can get shoutouts easily, but thats not the goal. I changed headlines of emails and even asked really small influencers and nothing. I am looking for a personal influencer that wears the product. Not just a shoutout of my product. One of the people I sent product hasn't even posted anything. The influencer that charged me and posted great content and did the typical instagram growth methods, but then again no sales.
Its also frustrating how these influencers only want pay per post. I have no guarantee of ROI, but they do. The best way is commission, but nobody wants to do it that way. So far I have just burned money in this influencer. But its a clothing/accessories brand and this has been proven to be the best way to build it as of now.
With all new things, I would do the same thing to overcome barriers: Learn, Action, Trail and Error, Assess, Redo. But with this marketing thing, I'm getting nothing. It's holiday season and I can't get any sales.
Can't move out because not enough money.
Not enough money because putting money into business to advertising and promotion.
No sales, losing money, stuck at home.
The longer I live on this planet, the more I realize MONEY is LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
