    Experienced Internet Marketer diving into Ecom - Pt. 2

    Received a BIG order today, without any promotion + Shit load of technical issues The order came in at $215. At first, I thought... wow, maybe the ADS site is still making profits... But no, it was from shopify. Someone ordered 1 expensive item, and 1 high margin item. Total was: +$215...

    Experienced Internet Marketer diving into Ecom - Pt. 2

    I ran a global ad (all countries), so many of the clicks were from tier-3 countries (lebanon, pakistan, etc). The performance looks great on paper, and I ultimately want sales from all of those lower-tier countries (global sales, rather than just tier-1: US/AU/GB/etc). But tier-3 are probably...

    I haven't worked on ADS since the last time. SocialRabbit is still being paid for, but not currently posting anything (which is a tragedy since it's wasting money by not working ;)

    Facebook Sale I forgot to mention, I ran a facebook campaign for a few days. It a a Powerpoint video of a product, with 15 variations. It was the 'free+shipping' method, and made 1 sale, and about 5-6 cart abandons. The final CPC is most important. I think my ad relevance was about a...

    Update In all honesty, I have been slacking hard. Too much focus on traveling, and girls in the last few weeks. That's it for now :)

    I agree. To start up, ADS is more cost effective. But the question is conversion rate. I think you can greatly improve the shopify CVR with plugins.

    I agree with your 200%. But right now, shopify has the necessary tools to upsell/downsell/etc. I completely believe that ADS will be the better platform in the long run, but that's 6 months to 1 year away, and at the moment I was losing too much money on marketing to a low-converting platform.

    I don't know. I also started the trial a while back,and it expired. Decided to just start paying, and invest 100% into it, with the assumption that shopify will be profitable. Go big or go home (in small steps). So I don't know the answer to your question. Try making another account.

    Country Currency Wordpress Plugin Code Help?

    Yea, the update to change the Currency codes in alidropship to small letters, wasn't applied in the previous update - unfortunately. The Geo-location plugin only works if the letters are small.

    So the more I implement shopify, the more it really sucks. Alidropship is still under development but will eventually have all features possible... Shopify limits the user from SOO many features, unless you invest into buying/paying monthly for additional plugins. Also, the payment page for...

    1. I figured the same. If the admins want to delete this thread, and the other thread, then by all means. I simply want to test whether it's my niche that sucks, or it's the theme itself. 2. It is a fans niche.

    Shopify. But he stopped because his account got suspended when drop shipping. Too many customers complained about delivery times, thus his account was suspended. This is another drawback with shopify. He decided not to join forces.

    The Boring Part I bought the necessary theme, and the $30/mo shopify package. Then quickly learned oberlo, and set up the theme, and shopify. This took a few hours to figure out for the first time. Oberlo is pretty cool because: - it upload the product to the oberlo servers first - you can...

    In the previous thread, I mentioned I will try the exact same niche, but using Shopify. The previous attempt with Alidropship was at a loss of $630 USD after about 40 days. I think Alidropship is a sweet plugin, and it's really well built. But I feel Alidropship is still a few months away...

    Also, changing the currency, redirects you back to the home page (from your current page) - another broken element.

    Ask your web admin to help you add the certificate. I had mine automatically installed with cloudways web server hosting.
