What am i doing wrong?

7 years ago

You're all over the place. You did not give enough info to get meaningful answers.

Take the first paragraph you have: "spend a little on ads but nothing worked."
Where where the ads placed? What were they saying? How were they saying it? Who were you targeting? Why did you think they'd be interested in a t-shirt?

The same info is missing in your other tries.

So i started to design tshirts as a young boy on teespring few years ago , spend alittle on ads but nothing worked though , tried couple of times again but nothing.

a year ago i opened Instagram fanpage with the niche i chose , got to 5k followers , designed a shirt on teepsring with the same niche + added few bucks for fb ads but got nothing ..

few days after i logged into my email account and was amazed to see an email from teespring saying i made my first sale .. yes i made 7 bucks LOL .

it didn't really change anything but it did inside of me , i saw that there is a hope , i made few bucks , it can go big from here.

and then i thought to myself , if SOMEONE around the world saw this shirt and paid for it , shouldn't i relaunch it ? it has potential !

And so i did , i went and filled my card with 100$ from my bday gifts, relaunched the same shirt that was sold , and designed few another shirts with different but HOT niches .

i started few ab ads on each shirt to see what goes well , tried few styles , tried HOODIE tried shirt , tried even a MUG .

targeted relevant niche pages and groups

i got nice amount of likes , people tagging each other and people saying "I MUST GET THIS" .. but guess what .. NOTHING ! not even a single sale .

what am i doing wrong ?

I thought about starting online shopping store through dropshipping but i saw alot of people getting troubles with limits and such as things , plus you need to spend nice amount of money to start with this dropshipping world and i have none atm to spend .

Tried also affiliate marketing , feautered clickbank products with facebook ads and etc but nothing went well as usual .

I am really motivated for success , i finished my army service few month's ago and having hard time here in the real world but i feel that internet marketing is the path for me .
but having a hard time to find my road .

would like to get some feedbacks and thoughts , what should i change? what went wrong?

Thanks

Well i targeted animal love pages (as for my niche for the shirt was animals), And on the fba bar i chose to scale people who liked the speciefec pages i was selling . for example , if i was selling cat shirt - then one of the targets was "I love cats" Page likers , or "USA Cats rescue" for example (not really) but just letting you understand my ways .

Why i think they would be interested in the tshirt? because the designs on the shirt's are feautering funny / true / right feelings for those people about their niche , and i already made one sale which means the shirt design is pretty ok ?

what were the ads saying ? typical ad's sale that is going well with other comapnies such as :
"A Christmas gift for your husband !
Available with hoodies & Tee's & LIMITED
>>> Order here : BIT.LY/BLABLABLA
Share And Tag Someone who would love this shirt !"

for example of course , but it's similar like all the other ads.

Thanks

Well, just because you love cats, doesn't mean you're in the mood to buy anything, let alone able.

You'd be better off looking for places where people known to have bought cat-related (I know it's an example, but work with me), hang out.

You've done some of the work, but not all.

You need to locate where people who
buy online
buy things with cats on them/in them
have money
hang out.

You need to target more. You also need to give them a reason to buy NOW, FROM YOU.

People who go to PetCo to buy cat food are more likely to buy cat toys then people who look at a passing cat and say, Aw!

A lot of kids like pages with cats. A lot of women do. A lot of men do. You'd convince them to buy a cat t-shirt differently. You need to have more info

What you're doing wrong? Maybe you should start by fixing your username here on the Warrior Forum. It's just terrible - an eyesore!

Someone's thinking it doesn't matter, but trust me, it DOES - BIG TIME...

Hello,
You need to build a online store, custom website with all tshirts you sell, and have 300 products or so, then do major seo, and have experience, if not you must learn WP first, and how to build a online store with shopping cart and drop shipping.
