What is your website? Look at the ux in terms of how your content is arranged. I assume your website is your primary point of sale. Before publishing ads look at where in the marketing funnel yours ads are serving. If you want to chat more just DM.

Seeing the way You write here, I guess Your ads, social profiles, website, product descriptions, emails etc. are written in the same untintelligible manner. Maybe this could be one of the core issues?

Other than that, competition in most niches is really fierce nowadays, so a slow start is a completely normal occurrence in most cases. You must have something unique and/or problem-solving to gain traction fast.

They don't care about what it is that you are saying.

Who is it that YOU want to influence?

Be specific. SMART criteria.

what’s your product

Of course, you can try FB ads, but one week is too short! This should be work in progress. Look to develop partnerships.

Where is your target market? What geography? Are you doing emails?

If it’s a new store, it’s going to take time for the FB algorithm to get to know who buys stuff from you so you’re just going to have to pour in more money to keep testing and running ads… it’s not magic.

When I drop shipping a while back the main mistake people were making were rushed sites that don’t look professional and lacked detail to make them look legit. Share your links and we’ll give you feedback

Forget about ads, invest in influencer instead.

[–] WiFiProfitingDOTcom@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Link your site. Hoping it isn’t just a generic copy and paste drop-shipping site. You must add value

Your website might need to be built to convert better

[–] laydog87@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your site is legit terrible…. Just being honest. I hope you didn’t pay someone for that. You need to hire a better designer.

Bro remove the fake testimonials from your website first, very obvious. Then add many more products, 15 is too little for an ecommerce to be taken seriously. You need at least 100...

[–] disciplined_jay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's a long game.

  1. How much customer and market research have you done?
  2. Have you researched competitors and their marketing channels?
  3. Have you created an adequate marketing and sales strategy?

It not that "build it and the will come" crap. You have to do a ton of investment on the front-end to get results on the back-end.

Good luck!

Start marketing your products in Instagram...also put your products on amazon too.

Traffic doesn't equal conversions.

If your site is rubbish, any traffic will just evaporate.

You need to optimise for conversions.

Website is very basic for a home decor store. Branding is not good. You are not providing value you are just trying to sell. Go with Google ads but keep in mind atleast to have it for 3 months. Organic growth takes time, 1 week is not even time in this scenario, it takes months for SEO depending upon your keywords. I worked for an home decor store getting them to 1L/M in 4 months profitably. Let's connect if you want.
