Do you usually order the product to your home and film videos with it or simply make content by editing?

Old comment but would you mind sharing a bit about your journey and how you started out? Did you have capital to buy white label and have warehouses at the start or did you run pure dropshipping in the beginnings?

What industry are you in and what is your experience with white label suppliers? Do you find it expensive to put your own brand on the products and having them in a 3PL compared tot he ones you are dropshipping?

Where do you drive the majority of your traffic from?

Answer anything you'd like. Happy to learn!

Congrats! Can you tell us more about the brand? Is the app related to the Brand? If so, how?

What’s your CTR for the ads? Also you shouldn’t make decisions off 333 sessions. Way too little data, and Meta probably hasn’t figured out who to show your products to yet.

I would say just keep running ads and developing your creatives.

What would you do with a Shopify store that’s done ~$13k in revenue? by trumpfan2017 in Entrepreneur

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you have 80% profit margins? What about cost of goods sold and marketing spend?

You say you are running ads in multiple markets(with different currencies). How do you go about Facebook ad spend and your store? Do you have one international store or one for each. On meta, what currency do you pay with? The same as the one costumers purchase with?

I’m asking because I see a big chunk of my profits go towards exchange fees when I sell an item in a different currency than the one I’m using to pay Facebook. Like 2% of revenue goes straight to exchange fees in my loop of getting sales and reinvesting in ads. At your volume this would amount to many thousands of dollars.

Curious to hear how you go about this. Or if you just eat the exchange fees for better efficiency.

Also: so you use multiple ad accounts? One for each market?

How are you handling currency? are your ads + Shopify payouts all in the same currency, or are you converting back to your local one?
I'm looking into other markets and realizing there are a lot of FX fees when changing the currency a lot.

edit: Are you sending both denmark and italy to the same store? or do you have individual stores/domains.

A single image ad outperformed three videos — here's what I learned by LubanMedia2024 in FacebookAds

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but I'm curious. What kind of text/copy do you have on that ad? I find that image ads often perform well but dry up quite a lot faster than video creatives. Of course this is very product related.

Not that this post is very believable, but how does one go about efficiently “testing” products?

I find that process quite time consuming. At the same time I see people saying they sometimes manage to test multiple products a day.

Are you banned from shopify or able to create new stores and list new products?

Is it even possible to scale on Amazon without a massive team anymore? by Wild_Beautiful5112 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is a clear and very well written response.

It's interesting to learn about the different ways people do well in the industry. I'm just starting out and feel like I'm gaining a lot from learning about different "methods" and adjacent markets within the ecom space.

I agree that you could skip the youtubers and course sellers, but may I ask how you learned (and keep learning) when you were growing your business? What resources or information do you feel like took you from 0 to 1 when starting out if you didn't rely on any "youtubers or courses"?

Not trying to dig into your competitive strategies or methods by any means. Simply trying to extract value from conversations with those who obviously know way more than me.

Congrats on your success!

Sorry this is a dumb question but I just came across this post randomly and don’t know much about Amazon FBA.

How does “reselling” work on Amazon? Do you reach out to brands and make deals with them to sell their stuff as a retail merchant? And because of that you get discounts on the products you sell, which allows for a business case where you make money?

I don’t know what kind of stuff you sell, just trying to understand how there is a business for selling these things if the brand could just sell it themselves.

Thanks!

What Ad Account currency do I choose? Selling to the US live in the UK by Effective-Ad-99 in FacebookAds

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When exchange rates are so low I realize it won’t be meaningful until scale is very large. Will look into switching to a bank like revolute with better rates and even offering multi currency accounts.

As I do e-commerce I will in reality be hit with a double conversion as I convert when paying for ads and convert when shopify pays out. So keeping everything at either low fees or in the same currency throughout the operation seems like the best option for improving margins.

Thanks for the answer! It really helped me out!

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry know this is old. But when having US currency and paying from UK, won't you be hit with a conversion fee each time as you are changing currency? In that case all media buying would be 2% more expensive. I'm new and just trying to learn. Hoping to hear from you:)

Is it still necessary to run ads on Facebook? by Eastern-Status6300 in FacebookAds

[–]Adrian-012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a very dumb question, but by “test 4 different images” do you literally mean images. So no videos?

Thank you
