Take your time to do audience research in Facebook before running ads. That will make or break your campaign. Normally you run ads per interest group - magazines, brands, websites, fan pages, clubs/associations, b-list celebs etc but your product is a bit general in this case so it probably makes sense to look for competitor websites, brands and fan pages because you're looking for buyer audiences in your demo.
Search for ads/posts on facebook too around your niche to see what people are running.
Hi Eric,
Nice looking website!
Which plugin did you use for the social media buttons on the left side of your website?

Thx
Hi Eric,
Same question for this: how did you get the big Facebook-page-button (and Instragram)

Thanks for sharing, it would be great to know about the math from your advertising.
The promo code field is very hard to find, I think it needs to be changed to a better position.
I will run an Adwords advertising on google for some keywords but first I need to get the credit card gateway working, so after that I can share here the results.
I am dropshipping from AliExpress and using the same buyer protection system. I don't see the problem with using this banner.
Wow, great journey ! i'm interested to know more about your results with Facebook ads , how much you spent ? & how much are the earnings ? do you use Conversion or Click campaigns ? please keep us updated .
@eric , you have spent a lot of time and made a great effort to get this alidropship to work, however it seems your efforts are in vain, personally i think that getting ranked in the search engines is the way to go.
I think the plugin is great for building the shop but Yaros has been a bit over enthusiastic with the marketing techniques he proposes to get sales and infact after doing some research , sem rush, websta etc you will see the truth that his websites have hundreds of keywords ranked in the search engines and this is where the buying traffic is coming from.
On the contrary Nick, SEO will take a very long time and even then you are at the mercy of Googles algorithms. I think the business model is laid out perfectly. I never would have thought that having a brand new store around 3 weeks old would have generated upwards of $800 in revenue already. I imagine your probably having issues with the niche you selected not the actual business model.
If you have ever tried to build and rank a website (I have many times) you will understand how frustrating it is to have google sandbox you and there is not a single thing you can do about it. Of course im not saying to neglect SEO entirely but if you want sales NOW then social media is the way to go supplementing that with white hat SEO for the future is really the best course of action.
