Was stalking Yaros at some underground forum. lol
I read all, the more than 100 pages thread because that's exactly what I wanted to do.
But during this time around, I'm broke as fck and can't even afford a domain name.
So I put this idea aside and try to make some short fast cash first.
Around April 2017
Because I joined the Alidropship email newsletter, I got notified about the discount rates.
I've forgotten how much, either 15% or 30%.
So I quickly try to checkout but I couldn't.
Quite desperate to get it at that cheap price, I actually contact the support to manually open a Paypal payment request with that discounted amount. lol
But I can't pay it still, because there's something wrong with my card and I can't resolve it until I'm back to my home country.
At this moment, I'm on short work trip.
Mid May 2017
Back to my home country and settled the payment for the plugin, still at that discounted price even though if you use the coupon code, it's already expired. Thanks for that.
May - June 2017
Finally, someone appreciate my portfolio and I'm hired full time in some start up company.
Pay is not bad but I have to move from my hometown to capital of my country.
Right now, I'm based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Early July 2017
FINALLY!
My time is stable again.
Now, I do have this things called "weekend" again.
It's hard to be unemployed and depends on freelance work alone.
Thus why, the urge to have this side business is getting stronger.
And I think the niche that I choose, is something I will have passion in.
So, I'll try with this one and scale on later.
The only thing that I'm worried is the marketing parts, SEO and social media.
I'm not good at driving traffics to a website.
9th July 2017
I choose a sub culture fashion for girls niche.
When I check Aliexpress, there's a lot of items that can fit that niche criteria.
I bought a domain name, and a server long ago when I purchase the plugin but just let it empty.
Finished setting up the shop with Aliplugin the normal version.
Use Mailgun, and all api connection like Google, Facebook, Twitter, were also successfully established.
At first, I was tempted to use the Woocommerce version but then, I changed my mind because I'm not very familiar even with the normal version or Woocommerce to begin with.
So it's better to just use the normal version of Aliplugin which have all the necessary feature to start making money.
I tried importing 10 products first and put it into import list.
I then manually edit the item description and remove what is not suppose to be there, like links to Aliexpress other items, etc.
I then manually published them.
It looks good so far, I'm happy.
After this, I plan to read more on the marketing guides and really hope things works as it intended.
And since I have some budget now, that I got from my day job salary, I think I also can have some decent amount for marketing.
I post this thread for a challenge and motivation to myself.
Thanks, Yaros for such a great software.
You could keep it for yourself but you didn't.
