Hey fellow store owners 👋,
I just wanted to share a bit of my journey so far running my store. It has truly been full of lessons, small wins, and challenges along the way.
One big challenge I faced was driving consistent traffic in the early months. At first, I felt like I was putting in so much work into my product listings and designs, but the sales just weren’t coming in. I remember refreshing my dashboard every hour hoping to see results. It was frustrating.
What helped me push through was learning to focus on marketing instead of only creating. I started experimenting with Pinterest and simple SEO strategies, and slowly I noticed more visitors coming in. The first few organic sales that came without ads gave me the confidence to keep going.
One key lesson I’ve learned so far is that patience and consistency matter more than perfection. It’s easy to compare yourself to other stores and feel like you’re behind, but when I focused on my own growth step by step, things started moving forward.
I’d love to hear from you too, what has your experience been like so far, and what’s one lesson you wish you knew earlier in your store journey?
