Why no sales? (alien.top)

Hi, I’m hoping to get feedback on why I’m not getting any sales for my new product. I got a really good response when I took it to events, but now that I’m trying to sell, it - nothing. 😥 Click through rates are 6-7% for FB ads and 1-2% for Instagram and TikTok. I’m using Shopify. Any suggestions? Is it just the product, or is there a way to salvage this?Website is www.kittyscapes.com. Thank you!

People do try to be nice. It is the most effective, quickest way of getting an annoyance out of one's face. Bless their heart.

My product validation is completely different then real results. Advice?

Need a bit of help; Created an amazing product, posted some images on social media, all the feedback has been extremely positive... but ZERO sales. How do I change this?

The root of our downfall lies in the way we validated our idea. To grow quickly, we made our MVP free. ... But when launch day rolled around, our “totally sold” leads were nowhere to be found. Everything changed when we asked for their credit card.

How To Crash Your Startup

How many people have never heard the phrase of putting one's money where their mouth is? Okay, a hint: That's Not For Weight Loss!

The tendency to self-sabotage is so prevalent, so ingrained, it is baked into every startup. That is why -- despite books specifically meant to prevent the failure -- people simply twisted the meaning so they could screw themselves over.

Books didn't help -- failure rates remain rock solid. Forums don't help -- wantrepreneurial myths get upvoted to top position. Advice doesn't work -- it competes against accidental success.
