been meaning to write this up for a while, finally doing it
so yeah six months, still working my day job, not gonna pretend im rolling in it. but month 3 something shifted and its been profitable since so figured id share
first couple months were a mess honestly. got excited during signup and spent money on stuff i didnt need yet, ran ads without really understanding what i was doing, watched money disappear. probably down like $400 before anything clicked
what changed was just cutting everything down. stopped running 6 products, picked 2. stopped spreading my ad budget thin. stopped refreshing my dashboard every 20 minutes like that was gonna make sales appear lol
made $180 net that month. nothing crazy but it felt different bc i understood why it happened
sitting around $400-500 net these days, maybe an hour of actual work daily. pinterest does most of the heavy lifting for me organically
stuff i wish someone had told me - withdrawal is $100 minimum bank transfer only which caught me off guard the first time. onboarding moves fast and they hit you with upsells before youve even seen the dashboard properly, have a budget in mind before you sign up
biggest thing tho - get one sale without paid ads first. just to know the store actually converts before you start spending money sending people to it
anyway thats my story, happy to answer stuff if anyone has questions

Appreciate you sharing this, I'm kinda in that first couple months mess stage right now. Good to hear it actually clicked for you after simplifying. The part about cutting down to 1-2 products and not spreading ads thin hits hard - I'm definitely overcomplicating things at the moment. Also didn't realize about the $100 withdrawal minimum, so that's useful to know. Nice to see a realistic update, not some made 10k in week 1 stuff.
