“At one point”. You’re talking 2010? I don’t think an amateur still has a chance of breaking even in 2022. Am I wrong?

  It was early 2020. Bought some stuff, made some adverts, saw how the interface works on FB, saw how Shopify works, watched orders coming in and get fulfilled. I still don't really know how to do any of those things properly but it was clear that someone out there was clicking on ads and buying stuff from me.

    I’m impressed and surprised. Can you share what the product was?
    • lordnacho 5y ago
      Gamer glasses. Reduce blue light kinda thing. There really wasn't much to it, I just borrowed the manufacturer's videos and pics, threw up some ads and then people started ordering.

        Geez. Well done! So what made you stop? With so many tweaks untapped, it sounds like guaranteed profits.

          Well it just didn't seem very obvious what would move the needle, plus moving up a notch would take some actual work, and actual costs.

            Gotcha. Plus, I would imagine, selling drop-shipped plastics on Facebook probably isn't the most inspiring thing in the world. I can see how that can get boring very quickly. Especially to someone who is much more interested in figuring things out than in making money to lie on some boring beach. (I'm projecting, of course.)
