Hi All,

I've decided to embark on my first real venture. I've dabbled in the past with various freelancing jobs but I've decided to look into something else for my first real taste of hustling. I was deciding between dropshipping and affiliate marketing and have opted to go ahead with the former.

I will be posting in here my various bits of daily progress. It's mainly to keep a journal for myself, but if it's of any interest to you then that's even better.

I've found a niche in the fitness sector and have already made a shortlist of products on Shopify, which were all sourced through AliExpress. I have what I think is a great domain name too. I've set up various channels, email accounts, Facebook and other social media.

My plan is to direct traffic to my site by use of Facebook Ads and also targeted Instagram influencers.

I will be drawing up a more detailed plan of action, but the main thing for me was to get the ball rolling and get started. More detailed instalments are to come.

Thanks for reading!
