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.
