You're in Uganda?!! I have to visit!
In Africa, I only target South Africa as I have found they system is much easier to work with...especially drop shipping, I have not tried other countries yet.
For some reason, I usually go general, unless its something I really really love, for example, coffee or soccer. Outside of that, I would normally just go with winning products and a general store.
I am using another script and not many chat.
But also, I have a retargeting bot on the store, and it has helped a lot...actually all my stores have retargeting bots.
usually, the moment someone purchases, I send a thank you email, and also message them on FB in the event that they came from FB, after 2 days, I send them a discount message, after 2 days, I send them top selling products, after 2 days, I sent the newest products. While segmenting those responding and following up on those not(Clicking links)

MEGA STORE UPDATES: I HAVE CRAKED $101,133k In SALES!!!!
So, I have been off for the past few weeks, and here was the problem..
1-When I shared my videos, some heartless human beings went online and decided to spam my store (I didn't know that my store url was visible) so they went ahead and used stolen credit cards, which pushed the store sales to about 35k, but then I started getting chargebacks, which made me lose my stripe account etc.
LESSON #1: No matter how excited, share only what you can, if people don't believe, don't give a SHIT, after all, none of them will help you when you are sleeping hungry and have to start all over again!
2- I have had to register a new Stripe account, because even my other stores were affected as this was my main stripe account. But as it's said, when you know how to do something, it will always come around. And guess what, in an even shorter time, I have made more money...!!!
LESSON #2: Don't copy, learn the Principles..no one can take that away from you. But someone can take away copied work...I know FB ads, I know how create winning stores, I know the process A-Z! And nothing can change about that..no one can take that...no matter how many times I go down.
3- In journeys like this, you are going to win and you are going to lose at times. Loss might come in different forms, losing your merchant account (I even tried to get 2checkout, and they rejected me 3 times) Losing doesn't come only through failed stores, it can come in all other forms. Whats important is to never give up. Imagine for 2 weeks plus, I could not process payments, I was having loads of customers asking why I couldn't and what the problem was. But guess what, here I am, 3 weeks later making over $100k!
LESSON #3: Don't be afraid to lose, don't be afraid to be called a failure, all of us have our own lives to live and die, you are not accountable to anyone except yourslf first and foremost...the moment you are accountable to yourself, then you have to be accountable to a group..thats why you need a community to encourage you. You have no idea how much encouragement I got from some of the masterminds I am in and how that kept me going! Join a group for the rainy days.(THOSE INTERESTED IN JOINING MY FB GROUP, WHERE I WILL BE HELPING LOADS OF OTHERS, PM ME and I WILL ADD YOU)
With that said, I think I have come to the end of this journey, I wanted to make $100k, and I have made it in less than 90days! I will keep this thread alive to answer to questions and help those starting out, but I am going to start another journey of taking a dead store (One that was profitable about 9months ago, but hasn't made any sales since then, to life again! And I will detail everything I am doing with it.

Hahahaha...come visit my friend, am always available..
The best would be to open an LLC in the US, and get an EIN number, that you can use together with Payoneer-Stripe Combo...otherwise, you will need to use 2checkout...if you can't get any of those, then there will be little to no options left.
There are many reasons customers leave a store during checkout...
Toping the list are shipping costs, trust, getting destructed, was just doing research etc...Outside of the countries they come from and the fact that they may not have certain payment methods...those are the reasons...so cross check again.
Set up interms of store?
Please don't complicate life for yourself...so many gurus talk about so many things, ultimately just focus on 2 things(Products and Marketing)
