I'm in the works to replace those images and just keep at it one step at a time. My sales have always been in person. I have to learn to utilize the Shopify tools such as the blog and learn how to make videos with editing. :) I think the huge amounts of information overwhelm a lot of people and that is what leads to burn out (for some of us.)

Hey, Suzan. Entrepreneurship always has its ups and downs. But it's important to push through the lows to get back up. Let's try a few things to get those ramping up. I've shared some tips for you below: To increase your sales, consider expanding your product offerings to include different types of art, such as prints or digital downloads. Additionally, review your social media strategy to ensure that you are reaching your target audience effectively. You can do this by reviewing your hashtags and engaging with your followers. Are you posting consistently and at the right times? Consider partnering with influencers or artists in your niche to help promote your products and reach a larger audience. By making these adjustments and trying new strategies, you can increase your chances of making more sales and growing your business. -Rio

I am left wondering how anyone with a Shopify website does not know who you are Michelle.

[@DevAnandKhatri07]

I am in love with your expressions ❤, thanks for the knowledge!

[@IandIKeepingitReal]

Thanks for your helpful advice and enthusiasm. Do you have any videos/advice on how to offer innovative discounts that wont eat up ones profit margins? Thanks for all you are doing. I am listening.

[@learnwithshopify]

Thanks for watching our videos!

[@mildreddoe4343]

I need help too

[@emily.gaston]

But... how do you find reliable people to make tiktok videos for you? I've been ripped off by influencers twice... I sent products and they didn't create content.

[@karimelghazawy671]

Love u guiding videos Michelle

[@KhalidHussain-l9u]

I m add product but no sell ..why

[@PrimeA1Gifts]

Yes ME. I have been selling online for 12 months. Not really taking off.

[@CharlotteKonopka]

Me to not seeing any sales and just started a blog- maybe that will help

[@pymbox]

@learnwithshopify I'm curious about the product research (reddit / facebook groups). I keep wanting to get some opinion/ research from the community groups but a lot of the groups / reddits all have rules with referral links. I'm curious how you can get research on your store without posting your links and getting banned from the community groups.

[@learnwithshopify]

Try asking for feedback and information about Shopify Stores on Twitter! There is a fantastic Shopify Ecosystem on Twitter filled with developers, employees, and business owners that are always chatting about Shopify and stores!

[@muhammadaliismonov7370]

​@@learnwithshopify cool. Can I have link to the group? Thanks

[@learnwithshopify]

We don't have a specific group on Twitter for this - to clarify, we were referring to and suggesting that merchants can post publicly on Twitter to ask the wider Twitter community for direct product and store feedback. Hope that helps!

[@muhammadaliismonov7370]

@@learnwithshopify thank you for reply. I will definitely look for them

[@learnwithshopify]

Sounds good! Just a reminder too, in case you aren't aware, that we also have a Store Feedback board here: bit.ly/3X32Mp8 in our Community Forums. Feel free to create an account and post there too, if you're looking for specific feedback for your store.

[@AxtonPark]

Liked, subscribed, and hit that bell! Great content. 👍🏽🙏🏼💪🏽

[@chuckgomez4076]

is there someone that can Zoom teach me the setup and advise how to use Shopify . i've watched a dozen utube viedos and would like an advisor. thank you

[@skylarstarks]

you really are engaging, it is fun to listen to you and I learn as well. good work

[@nataliastoev3784]

We do so well in person but we struggle online. its not easy to go viral, dont you really need to know what hashtags to use and many other things that has nothing to do with having a good product?

[@prettyneatperformance]

Marketing is the most daunting thing for me. I am working towards a July 1 launch date and the thought of trying to market/build brand awareness gives me anxiety.

[@learnwithshopify]

Hey John! We totally understand that. Starting a new business is a lot, especially if you've never done it before. We recommend starting off with manageable tasks. Sharing a product post a day on your Facebook Shop or Instagram. Then work up to Instagram Reels, KZbin Shorts and Tiktok content. The most important part is consistency, even if it's just a post on Instagram a day, make sure it is every day! Consistent content is the key.

[@signbarn3233]

Just tried to sign up for the course, and an error message popped up!

[@DJSmad82]

I can't sell anything I have 2 stores as well

[@Joseph-dt3ju]

Hello, have you tried optimizing your store or implement few marketing strategies?

[@bytebrushdev]

Now andrew says what color is your bugatti right?

[@jamarionboyland7411]

I get views maybe 1 or 2 likes but not comments but also I have visitors but no buyers I offer over $50 free shipping and a 10%-20% discount I would really like to know where am I going wrong

[@Stayflyclothes]

What about if I have my own product not drop shipping

[@learnwithshopify]

The points we discussed in the video would also be relevant in that case!

[@sandshell72]

Just not getting sales not sure what to do

[@linette_ashley]

Do I test my Shopify products first then register for my DBA once I found one that works?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hey, Ashley! While it is not mandatory for most businesses to file a DBA (Doing Business As) in order to operate, having a DBA name can offer several advantages and serve various purposes. You can learn more about those here -shopify.link/y7nz!

[@jesussalinas2029]

Me...Michelle I'm not able to sell an item. I have had my store open for 2 years. I😢. Thanks.

[@bradleykurz1478]

Me. Got a few sales but not running ads yet

[@learnwithshopify]

Congrats on those sales, Bradley! Where are you thinking about marketing your business? TikTok is a fantastic option to consider! I have a resource here that you can check out for more information on how to do that: bit.ly/3CkhYWN!

[@caregiva]

and how did you do that?

[@jensvandeneede4845]

Great and interesting video as always!
