Hey guys,
I've been working on an ecommerce store for awhile and I finally launched it on shopify about a month ago.
Well... it has not been going well, to put it mildly. I've spent hundreds of dollars on facebook ads and have not generated a single sale. Not one.
I've tweaked the price, tried targeting different audiences, worked hard on creatives making them visually appealing, I've watched countless youtube videos on how to use facebook ads effectively and nothing is working.
Not sure what to do at this point. I feel very discouraged after putting a lot of time into this "business" and spent a fair bit of money (not in a good spot at all financially) - I wasn't expecting my store to immediately generate a ton of sales, not like I was picking out my Ferrari color already lol but thought if I could do a few hundred dollars even in my first month, I could build off that.
At this point, I'm 50/50 on if I will shutdown my store, I simply can't afford to keep dumping money into ads that are yielding no returns.
Does anyone have any tips on how to market a new store?
Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
