From Struggling to Selling: What Finally Worked for My Ecom Business
At first, I blamed the platform. Then the products. Then the ad algorithm. But deep down, I knew the issue wasn’t external — it was me. I was guessing. Copying. Hoping. I didn’t understand why something was supposed to work — I was just doing what I saw others do without context or strategy. So I took a step back. Here’s what changed everything: Instead of randomly choosing products, I started researching actual problems people wanted solved. I looked at reviews, forums, Reddit threads — trying to understand customer pain points. From there, I built offers, not just listings. I stopped jumping from niche to niche. Picked one product category, one audience, and one strategy — and went all in on understanding how to serve that group better. I joined groups like this one on Skool, consumed better content, and started asking questions. Not just about tactics, but about fundamentals — value creation, positioning, buyer psychology. Instead of calling it failure, I looked for patterns: – Was the offer weak? – Were the product images low quality? – Was I speaking to the wrong audience? Every time I adjusted, I improved. now ✅ I’m finally getting consistent sales ✅ Customers are reaching out with good feedback ✅ I actually feel like I’m building something long-term — not just chasing trends This journey wasn’t overnight, and honestly, it shouldn’t be. If I had gotten instant success, I wouldn’t have learned half of what I know now. To anyone just starting out or stuck in that no-sales phase: Don’t quit. Slow down, zoom out, and go back to the fundamentals. Success in this space isn’t about luck — it’s about persistence, feedback, and constant refinement. Grateful to be in this Skool community — a place where real growth happens. Let’s keep building.
