Hello there,
I'm just starting an adventure in e-commerce (over the past couple months) and stumbled upon this forum. It seems there's a lot of like-minded folks here, so I wanted to join in and introduce myself. My name is Will, and I hope some of the collective experience in this forum rubs off onto me.
A little info on where I'm currently at in my process:
I'm learning. I've traveled the usual beginner's route (I think): scoured the internet and traversed the minefield of nonsense that it is. I've also taken a few courses on marketing just to get my head pointing in the right direction. At the moment, I've started an LLC (probably not necessary), created a Shopify website(web copy, logo/branding, policies etc), set up analytics, various accounts (bank, email, payment processors, google/TikTok ads, suppliers etc) so on and so forth. Basically, the foundational aspects and processes that I can expand on as I go. Learning all the ins and outs of just this alone has been a process for sure, but I'm enjoying it. I plan to use this initial motion to get a grasp on what all is involved. I have a basic brand in the works, a general grasp on what I want to sell, and my next step will be product selection. Then I'll dive into the realm of short-form marketing, namely TikTok, because, why not. Honestly, I've already changed course a few times and I haven't even started selling yet so who knows where I'll land.
That being said, I welcome any and all advice! The more I learn the more I find that I need to learn. At the moment I'm sifting through products from suppliers that offer drop shipping. They all seem to fall into one or more of four categories: oversaturated, absolute shit, takes too long to ship, or overpriced. I'm leaning towards the oversaturated and banking on impulse buys but any suggestions there would be greatly appreciated. I plan to move away from drop shipping when I'm able, but this seems to be a solid option as I get a handle on things.
I tend to ramble a bit but, in conclusion, hello! Glad to be here and I look forward to meeting some of you folks.
