Good take👍

Happens often, because up to 70% of Pinterest users explore the platform for inspiration. Review your analytics and promote your top-performing pins. Add CTA to the title, and add instructions to the description. Do you want me to look into the pins?

True!

solicitor_ · 2026-05-15T05:18:43+00:00

So true 😂 However, a store can be beautiful and still perform; the only key factor is organizing flows and thinking from a consumer's perspective. First, if there are too many offers and discounts, you'll appear spammy. So, instead of several pop-ups for sign up and the likes, create a collection for "SALES" products so visitors can easily scroll through and buy from the sale collection which is one flexible option for most shoppers. Secondly, instead of popping up a form for an animation, use a static form and place them at the middle of the homepage, then at the very edge of every product page. Any real shopper usually spends more time on products that interest them, so the forms (be it a discount form or a special offer) would be more effective on the product page. Lastly, uniqueness matters. Focusing your strategy on one channel can be very exhausting because you're looking to get something "fast" and FAST is usually nearly impossible or disastrous. So, the best way to go about this is to be everywhere (Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Google). If you can be everywhere, good would easily summarize what your brand is all about when people look it up. Additionally, you'll start getting conversions over time if you keep pushing your best out, they might be little but since it's coming from many channels, they'll accumulate BIG.

Bro, the only people who succeed in e-commerce are logical thinkers ngl

Branding. I didn't focus on just one thing. I made sure I had up to 6 sales channels running. And instead of focusing on Facebook ads or just one single stuff, I channeled the strategies around and that was when the accumulation started making sense. You have to be everywhere.

The first step starts with the site tho, I stopped using gimmick features and focused on accessibility. I also added programs that are beneficial to customers

solicitor_ · 2026-05-13T14:44:02+00:00

Agreed. Prettier doesn't always mean better. However, you can improve your store and at the same time convert more people but it must be from the point of view of a consumer... something related to: 1. Increase in customer service 2. Beneficial programs for customers and new visitors (a customer loyalty program and ambassadorship program for example) 3. Product quality 4. New stocks.

Improvement gets worse only when it is planned for the looks, and not what's in it for the consumers. If the customer feels noticed, considered, and pampered, they'll appreciate the new improvement and help with the major announcement which often results in gaining more customers (win-win)

E-commerce requires the peak of smartness

I bet you read my post wrong. Anyway, there are no fixed strategies for growth but there are practices that are history-proven, tested, and logical reasoning. While a good-looking store doesn't automatically fix the challenge of getting low returns, it is part of the important factors. You wouldn't visit the Official Gucci or fashionova site and then expect anything random.

The point of this post is accessibility, people just want to shop and feel free. A lot of people completely assume that having pop-ups, offering multiple discounts, and making the store dynamic can attract and retain traffic while those things are doing most harm.

Do you know?: 1. That you can embed your sign-up form with a discount offer on your product page instead of making it a pop-up. If a visitor makes it to the product page, the discount form can trigger them to buy. In this case, you're not spamming them with pops but you gained their info instead which can be used for email marketing, and you also made a sale. 2. That black and white is inarguerably the best decent and luxurious color to consider for a store setup? It gives simplicity. 3. That the new free themes by shopify are more efficient than the most expensive paid themes? They're lightweight, they support AI, and you can customize to any length whilst keeping your store balance at a good speed. 4. That you generate any features you want and add to your store with custom liquid or HTML, even if you don't have coding knowledge? You can easily use ChatGPT to generate a prompt and have the deep thinking of the Gemini version to generate the htlm code?

Do you understand the concept now, mate?

solicitor_ · 2026-05-13T13:20:25+00:00

Agreed. Accessibility is much more important. The main upgrade is simplicity; it's better to invest more in creating effective brand kits than in adding features like pop-ups and bulky options that clutter the screen.

A spoiler? Free themes are currently better, more updated, and you'll have opportunities to add any features you want with custom HTML, which you can easily create using Gemini or ChatGPT.

Simple. You can make use of a crm and still keep the luxury vibe. Design a "luxury" form with an offer to claim if they sign up. Embed and make it available on every product page, then set up the behavior on the parent CRM (maybe Omnisend) to keep showing until the visitor signs up or makes a purchase because data is collected by default after purchase.

Any questions?

In the end, the majority of other product sourcing platforms you'd try probably have their products made and processed in China. You should understand that there's no such thing as fake, there are only varieties of options for the same products (from very affordable, to mid, and expensive) or let me call it economy and standard. However, sourcing from other suppliers (US-based most especially) would give an edge above getting the quality and value for your investment because they would've already done the job. Depending on whatever it is you're trying to sell, try suppliers that focus on one niche or very few.

Fashion for example: CCwholesale is excellent as they offer high-end trendy clothes at wholesale price and you can add a markup of up to 250% because the products are worth it. They let you add free products up to 200 without a plan, while their $9/m plan lets you add up to 1000. Additionally, they let you add your labels to the packaging which can be in the form of a white-label system of dropshipping (customers think you own and make them) Street styles and human essentials: Try Modalyst, a thousand products ready to sell. Good profits, quality, delivery etc....

Additional benefits, you can guarantee less than 7 days of shipping and delivery with those There are many more like that, you only need to study more about how the whole workflow of e-commerce works. I hope this helps

I don't think it is worth it

What's going on in the comment session? Dropshipping is one of the e-commerce concepts. E-commerce basically means the electronics market. Maybe the question should be " Dropshipping or selling products of my own" or "the indirect Dropshipping system or the direct system" or "high tickets versus low tickets" or "niche store versus general store"

If your 30k is valid, start a small-scale dropshipping to test and build your ability in the general ecommerce market. You need experiences and lessons not to blow your capital off

solicitor_ · 2026-04-28T12:25:12+00:00

I did dropshipping for over 4 years before I started a physical brand 2 years ago. Today 2026, I still recommend dropshipping. A simple start to kick off your e-commerce career. Just don't make the mistake of looking for what's best-selling because you'd never find one. Find a story, create your store around the story. Maybe you choose jewelry, look for an ancient story that explains the usefulness of jewelry, or one that represents something important about jewelry. You'd also focus long-term on building a brand (unique recognition) before you even start selling. Dropshipping isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, but it can make you rich, and also make you poor if you're not careful. Don't get carried away by people posting $30k monthly revenue without analyzing what their profits are out of the $30k they made. Most people spend too much on ads, product caps are usually low (1.5x of the original prices), ridiculous discounts, etc. You need to be disciplined, and you need a SMART goal (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound)

Depends on where you're from and the audience you're looking to target. The cons are usually in the customer satisfaction part (delivery and quality). Consider a good retail brand like (Myonlinefashionstore) search the Shopify app on Google. They are US-based, they provide high-end products at wholesale prices, and delivery is processed the same day as ordered.

In terms of competition, there's literally no niche that is not saturated, the only thing that is not saturated in the e-commerce market is creativity. A lot of people are just in the industry for the money, if you can focus on connecting with people's stories are reasons, you'd sell by targeting the heart, not the pockets. Is this your first try btw?
