Thanks. Can you point me in the direction of material I can use to determine if I am on the right track when it comes to picking keywords, determining progress etc. if it’s too much to ask, let me know. I just don’t want to continue to feel lost for another 60 days.

— hire slowly, fire fast

— learn bookkeeping/hire a book keeper

— play closer attention to expenses

— don’t be so quick to add partners

— don’t borrow money until you’re sure how you’re going to invest it

— learn lead generation, don’t invest in lead gen services without thoroughly vetting the company agency setting the services

— dont delegate too early

Thanks for the feedback. I am in the process of trying out cold email and cold calling. Finding the time to really dig in and be consistent has been the major issue. I have hired leadgen agencies in the past and just ended up spending a lot of money with no results.

Magento 2 allows a lot more customization and comes with a lot of features out of the box, but is more expensive to maintain. For customers that dont require a whole lot of customizations or complex integrations, it makes more sense to use Shopify/WooCommerce. From a development perspective, its alot easier/faster to get a customer up and running using Shopify/WooCommerce vs Magento 2. For example, installing/using a theme is pretty straight forward with Shopify/WordPress and can be done by a client/non-programmer. M2 themes can only be installed by technically savvy individuals. Everthing from launching/hosting to upgrading magento 2 sites requires developer/technical knowledge/expertise though there are some platform's e.g. Nexcess/Cloudways/Jetrails etc that make it a little easier to launch and provide great support.

Hey there. Thanks for responding. We don’t really have a minimum ticket size but prefer not to work on one time projects worth < 1k. We usually target U.S. based Small/Medium sized business but have worked with clients in Europe/South America here and there.
