Heres my quick business plan I intend to do to launch my Shopify store. Setup a Shopify account free trial(to sell products on when I launch) Setup a Convertkit account (To build a landing page and collect emails) Setup Tiktok and IG of my brand Use Canva to design me a quick logo. Total cost so far (FREE) My strategy is to make organic content, get some followers, then turn those followers on social channels into newsletter subscribers who are waiting for my store to launch with tons of products and a launch day that is an event with giveaways/free stuff! My goal is to get an email list of at least 2K subscribers before I launch the store. I also want to have around 200+ products listed on my website before I launch so they have a selection of what to buy. I already know im going to be selling body jewelry (i've done market research and validated that this stuff sells and I can sell it for 3-5X what I pay for it) I plan on working on my strategy in the mornings before work and then building the social media channels while im at my day job (thorughout the entire work day) What do you think? and what would you do differently?

Just got verified and approved....gotta upload product listings and then I'll start advertising using tiktok for my body jewelry brand. Might be a while but I'll be keeping you guys updated.

Can anyone suggest to me best dropshipping suppliers i can use or my store?

Hey guys, I have a live workshop coming soon and to the public it'll be just $79 to join. For you guys here inside the community you can get in absolutely free! (I'll be posting more info about it later) Itll be how to start an ecommerce store. Build it, set it up, find products, and how to grow it while you have a job with just 5-10 hrs a week. Here's my LinkedIn post about it: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/adanvaldez-shopify_ever-wanted-to-sell-products-online-your-activity-7184216914162774019-SwFl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android Look forward to the event. In short it's 2 days long 4/20-4/21 on Saturday and Sunday. And expect each day to be 2-3 hours long. Thank you all, and I'll catch you on the flipside :)

This screenshot is from yesterday, it's one example how when you make people notice you on a platform like LinkedIn people just automatically reach out. Here's the thing, if it sells it's a 15-20k project for me. These deals happen and they can happen for you too! You just need to know what to say on your LinkedIn, what to say on the DMs and on the call. Sometimes they don't even ask for references. Who here has closed a deal on LinkedIn?
