I saw that too. I closed my eyes (after backing up) and installed it. There was an issue afterwards that cleared up after updating the SEO settings (even without any changes). Everything else seems ok so far. I'm not sure about what all changed, but I believe it has to do with the SEO changes to...

I had used a private browsing session to verify where I came up. It's not coming up first but at the last slot on page 1. My site has only been crawl-able since Tuesday, so hopefully more pages will get indexed. I missed the bits about the 3k character article on the main page and 2k on the...

Probably should hold off on Yoast as the new SEO changes are keeping it from working properly for me. I haven't had permalink issues but others have so it seems risky. I had it installed and working but the update broke the meta description. Haven't been able to look closer yet.

What @Nello said. Be sure and set it up in the Search Console for Google. The updated plugin will also create a sitemap for you or use another plugin to do so. I used Yoast. Once that's in and confirmed it will take a day or two at least before the site get's indexed, and maybe longer for all...

Thanks for the info on the $5 minimum. I had not seen that and could be an issue. I actually ordered a $0.60 item myself just to see what happens. It supposedly has shipped, but we will see. I don't know if those small/cheap notebooks will sell at $5 - $7 like Yaros recommends, but maybe if they...

I'm still trying to use Yoast as I did not have the issue you are describing. It all worked fine and my descriptions are all written in the Yoast tool. I'm hoping it will work again as I like some of the features of Yoast as well.

The second screenshot is of the categories list which does indeed show all the sub-categories. You have to do some javascript work to make those expand and collapse. However, it will not be that way in the top menu (first screenshot). The submenus do not show up there until you hover over them...

I also have updated successfully with the exception of one issue. Previously I was able to use Yoast SEO to set my meta titles and descriptions nd everything worked fine. Now it seems those are getting overwritten by the plugin defaults, even if the settings are all set to off for the SEO...

In the menu editor under Structure, click and drag the menu item under the category you want it to fall under and indent it to the right. That will make it a submenu item.

Your site is looking good! No laughter here. I think that is a cool niche too. The default theme seems to work pretty well for that niche, but let me know if you want any help with css or image changes. Maybe we could swap some services? I've done the same with removing products. Be careful of...

I was a confused by this at first too. The Categories are controlled by the ones you create. The main menu is setup in Appearance/Menus. In the dropdown at the top select 'Main Menu' and adjust the structure as desired. Hope this helps.

I have experimented with FB Ads a little for another project. I probably will try a little with this too. Trying to mainly focus on IG initially as it seems to fit my niche well. Yes, I'm using DaVinci. I made some branding modifications, but otherwise using it as is. I looked at Michelangelo...

Yeah 'launched' is probably a bad term. More like 'it's at a point people can use it'. Advertising/marketing is where my learning curve is. I've started some posting on IG, Pinterest and Twitter. Tried my first small shout-out on IG yesterday and felt it went pretty well. I'm taking it slow and...

Welcome @Nimeskern! I'm almost in exactly the same position as you. Except without the eCommerce experience. I come from a development background and trying my hand at this. Launched my site this week almost exactly as you described. Would love to compare notes. I've already put my site out...

I feel ya on the count being a little low. I figured smaller fish easier to land initially, plus lower cost until some sales start moving. I'll definitely seek out bigger influencers at that point.

Thanks @maxyy! Nice to hear a little confirmation on the niche as doubts linger there. Initial response on IG is good albeit at a very small sample size. I've got nearly 100 more products in 'draft' awaiting the needed editing :eek:. Figured I would test interest first before spending more time...

Cost is between $5 - $10. Followers around 10k highly engaged and targeted people.

I just started reaching out looking for shout-outs. A couple responses are asking for product instead of payment. Has anyone done this? Did you ship directly to the contact, or receive it yourself first to verify it's OK before forwarding on to the contact?

Thanks HZ Daze! I was a little worried about the domain too, but I think my target market will figure it out pretty quickly. Great catch on the promo code. I had mistakenly put in the wrong expiration date. That's fixed now. That probably explains my one abandoned cart :oops:

Well I took the plunge last week and purchased the plugin and started my first attempt at ecommerce/drop shipping. I'm pretty impressed so far and am really curious how this will go. I'm essentially following Yanos' suggestions, even targeting a niche highlighted in his list. Initial setup was...
