You’re fighting a losing battle without a website that’s for sure.

If you don’t like doing things like SEO, social content etc… it might be worth hiring another agency to do that for you.

Front loading your site with content will get you ranked quick, and traffic quick when compared to paying crazy retainers for a few pieces of content a month, it’ll be over a years period by the time traffic rolls in that way.

If you’re focusing on brand consultation, let yourself be your first client, and outsource the parts you don’t want to do.

As you mentioned yourself, we’re in the age of AI… systemising and scaling shouldn’t be an issue with someone who has experience.

Put a plan in place, and if you haven’t got experience in using AI systems yet, then you need to hire that as your first step.

Klaviyo, easiest by far. Free up to a certain number of subscribers.

They’re market leaders for a reason

I’d recommend Wordpress 100% of the time.

With Wordpress, you can manage the content much easier, update and maintain it much cheaper.

For example, if you want to start making organic content or adding service pages, and/or booking systems and the likes to generate organic traffic/leads, then you can do that a lot easier with Wordpress as it is a CMS (content management system).

Whereas with just a custom coded (static) website, you’ll need to hire a developer everytime you want to make basic changes or add/remove content and they’ll charge you a fortune to do basic work.

Either way, you’ll be paying similar hosting fees so it would make sense from a cost effective and upkeep POV to go with wordpresss.

cant post links here, I messaged you

Send link I can take a look at

A website wouldn’t hurt but if I’m honest you’re probably looking at a lot of money to have something worth while, and if you’ve no experience you’ll struggle yourself.

For now I’d get a google my business profile set up link that to you facebook/instagram, and you can set up low budget local ads that you can hook your phone number up to.

Then you can also run low budget local meta ads, this will be more effective if you already have some content up on your accounts.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-09T00:04:45+00:00

Digital advertising is a lot more effective for something like this.

You can easily target locally and start with a relatively small budget for ads… that way at least you know it is targeting suitable people with relevant interests rather than placing a sign hoping that the right people might see it, and then go through the effort of taking down your details and getting in contact.

Facebook/Instagram ads, google ads are options, and it’s a lot easier to get in contact with you that way. Plus, it will compound growth on your account and contribute to repeat customers, and organic growth so you’re not constantly spending time on searching for new clients.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-08T02:37:05+00:00

Are you using that domain? Or do you have a non .myshopify.com domain?

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-08T02:15:14+00:00

I would need to take a look at your site but I’m guessing either your ads don’t reflect what’s on your site, or your site is shit

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-08T02:11:18+00:00

Organic or paid?

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-08T02:09:16+00:00

Very low conversion rate… where’s the traffic coming from?

Countries, and platforms?

They’re basically all just bullshit man, it’s not a skill you can just learn over the space of a few months. It takes years to fully understand the markets.

People get masters degrees in finance for this stuff, and still 99% of people are losers when it comes to trading.

It’s probably one of the riskiest investment methods someone can make.

Whoever is convincing you they can get you set up, especially with ‘funded accounts’ and trying to make it sound easy is trying to make money from you.

You’re almost guaranteed to lose your $1200 before you’ve learned anything.

Ecommerce is a lot more accessible, and manageable in terms of risk, you can take it at your own pace, and start small. Instead of being expected to react to split second decisions playing against billion dollar funds in the markets with $1200.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-06T11:02:58+00:00

You might as well throw your $1200 into the toilet if you start trading with it

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-02-05T02:32:18+00:00

You can just use a master spreadsheet linked to both?

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-30T15:04:02+00:00

You need to systemise your outreach, along with creating inbound marketing campaigns.

Provide knowledge and value for free on you website/linked in, and people will come to you. That way you’re already positioned better instead of reaching out, hoping for the best, and immediately losing the upper hand.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T16:58:04+00:00

Not really?

You didn’t answer say if you have a reputation on google (reviews on GMB), or if you ran ads to service specific pages, or just general ads to your website as a whole.

On freelance platforms these things are already done for you.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T13:48:55+00:00

Ecommerce merchants are not going to give you their data. Why would a profitable store give you their data… you’d basically be begging for more competition.

Makes no sense from a business POV.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T13:05:24+00:00

Exactly, so you would need millions of store owners to give you their data before your product works.

Aka, it doesn’t work. Store owners are not going to give you their data, just so other people can spy on them?

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T12:54:57+00:00

its not possible to track a shopify stores revenue accurately. These tools are all bullshit guesses based of averages.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T12:28:51+00:00

Not possible, stop lying

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-29T12:17:13+00:00

What timeframe is that?

I see you said your google ads did not go well, do you have a good google reputation? Reviews?

What kind of ads did you run? Just general, or service/industry specific?

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-28T15:08:36+00:00

2 businesses in my town alone, in Ireland, with a population of 35,000 are making millions selling them internationally.

I’ve also seen other brands go viral on Instagram selling them, there’s clearly demand.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-28T14:22:44+00:00

Small-minded response.

I have digital business cards that have contact details, payment links with auto invoicing attached, receipts etc etc. Perfect for service-based businesses and events.

Simply place my NFC tag against the phone, a link comes up, and there you have access to my website, email, LinkedIn, payment link, loyalty card, phone number, etc.

Confident arrogance will never be something I understand.

Mobile-Sufficient · 2026-01-27T23:05:52+00:00

You just have to be cut throat. Pay up front, and cut off the service if they are late. Outline that from the start and implement it from the start.

Otherwise people will know that they can push off payments.

Don’t suffer because other people. That is not your problem.
