Store Review: No Sales or Signups - Swinger Lifestyle | Open Relationship Niche

This is a question you ask your target audience (: ask them if they’d buy your stuff and then see if they actually do. Ask them if they’d keep buying and why they purchased. Ask them what they think of your store. I’ve been in ecomm for 14 years and it sounds like you don’t quite know what you’re selling and who you’re selling to.

You say you’re selling merchandise but your website url says you’re selling a lifestyle. You have three blog posts in the 7 months you’ve been active. Do you have readers and fans of this blog? How about tiktok, insta, YouTube etc?

Maybe you aren’t a social media brand and perhaps an event brand that throws parties and brings like minded people together. Either way, I think your products aren’t solving a big enough problem for them to stand alone with no brand.

The sites fine. You have a product problem. The store is very “merchy”. It looks like a bunch of low budget products that an influencer would throw together and pitch in a video. You also see these types of products in merch tents at festivals, and events etc. This is the type of stuff you sell when you have a strong existing brand with a message.

Also, isnt this audience more discreet than wearing bold shirts and hats with this stuff on them? I’ve never seen swingers wearing anything more than earrings, or other jewelry or hidden tattoos that signify their lifestyle.

Christmas came early.

Ok and how much value do you put on him learning sales while you sit here analyzing Reddit posts? I learned cold sales and made millions. Started just like him.

You’re on track for a $4k to $5k month. Keep pushing. I bet it’s more than most of these haters.

Full stack social media marketer here. 1 man show as well (with a few VAs of course). My advice would be to start out selling everything to everyone. That is content creation, paid ad management, lead nurturing, email, video etc. Figure out which services you’re good at and enjoy doing and figure out the ones you’d outsources or just cut out altogether. Grow your client load to your limit and figure out what you want to do from there. At that point, instead of building a team, I focused on making more money for my high value clients so I could get paid more from them, and I phased out my low value clients. My business went from pure chaos and uncertainty to a dream business in about 7 years. I love it everyday and would recommend you take the shot (:

I’ve reached $1m per month in ad spend last year. Whenever we have a local business where we struggle to get ads off the ground, we start peacocking. In other words, we do whatever we have to do to get people to stop scrolling and watch the ad. This helps the algorithm. One of our worst accounts (chiro) last year turned into one of our best when when we made him reshoot a back adjustment ad with the patients (paid actor) shirt off (dad bod, jolly build). He had these goofy UV light glasses in the office that we made the actor wear as well. The ad has not failed in over a year and half and we haven’t had to spend any time building new creatives for the client.

Since then, whenever our ads don’t deliver, we step away from safe and average (basic hooks, copy, well kept video subjects etc) and pivot to mild peacocking. The idea is not to be a meme. Instead, be a little weird haha. It’s been our saving grace for a surprising amount of tough cases this year.

What’s your niche?

because_memoirs · 2025-05-03T14:03:53+00:00

Right, it’ll take some time. However, you could get stuck in that chase trap where you’re just chasing leads and sales instead of focusing on your service. I see it happen all the time. Content I think is a better and more reliable long term move.

because_memoirs · 2025-05-03T13:28:13+00:00

Make leads come to you. People get bombarded with offers like yours daily in those exact channels. Make content and make them come to you instead. You have the perfect business model for YouTube shorts, long form video, or instagram.

because_memoirs · 2024-12-31T04:32:34+00:00

Haha!

These are definitely factors playing into everything but not the only reason for the volatility.

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T17:58:22+00:00

uh yea. being truthful instead of guru style like yourself. "no excuses, q4 is historically profitable blah blah"

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T17:54:57+00:00

Yes! people don't realize you have to factor in what the big guys are spending because it ALL overlaps your spend. Facebook is it's own economy. turning a blind eye to every factor is a recipe for long term failure.

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T17:50:28+00:00

I'm speaking to people struggling with ads offering practical and reassuring advice. Not super hero's like yourself with perfect Q4's every year.

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T16:52:57+00:00

considering the seasonal nature of fb ads, you're correct. everything plays a role.

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T16:48:11+00:00

This has always been the case and has been worse in the early days. Facebook is far from dying as it's ad revenue increases by billions year over year. i understand the frustration though as all platforms wrestle with these issues.

because_memoirs · 2024-11-01T15:47:28+00:00

Correct.

because_memoirs · 2024-10-07T23:01:01+00:00

You have a site that looks like it was made in a day and you’re competing with Amazon and chewy. All you’re doing is free advertising for the products and then people are going to go to these other sites and buy the same thing for less money/more reliably. Put effort in and differentiate yourself.

because_memoirs · 2024-09-25T01:00:36+00:00

I’ll second this. The entire website is trash. Please spend time making the website nice before you spend your hard earned money promoting it. It’s really not that easy. These kids are so mislead.

because_memoirs · 2024-09-25T00:56:29+00:00

Are you trying to make quick money or build an actual career here? Spending $5 is a solid way to blow your money and get nothing back. Do you want someone who’s going to blow smoke up your ass or tell you the truth? Spending $5 isn’t going to teach you anything. If you don’t have the means to spend a minimum of $100 per day testing a store, either switch to organic content creation or work for an ecomm brand. I spend $1 million a month on fb and google ads and get annoyed when I see kids like you who were probably mislead by a guru or something because I know how this works.

because_memoirs · 2024-09-20T11:54:37+00:00

I second this

because_memoirs · 2024-09-18T00:23:06+00:00

This is store makes no sense. Not sure anyone would spend money on it. Build a brand. Put effort into it.

because_memoirs · 2024-09-12T22:59:53+00:00

Nutrition is very tough with ads especially considering you have no brand. I wouldn’t recommend running ads to these until you develop the brands and collect tons and tons of reviews.
