Trying to build a brand has really put things into perspective of how much easier it is to just run up a bag with Dropshipping than it is to curate a community of people that love your products and content.
It’s been incredibly slow these past weeks but I know at the end, it will be worth it.
I’ve finally opened the plaques today and they actually look quite nice. Can’t wait to get my fourth one that’s not a dropshipping store👨🍳
1 year and 1 month in dropshipping. 3 plaques.
But these don’t mean anything because it’s easy. It’s much harder to get one of these building a brand.
And that’s exactly what my goal is in a year from now.

I'm QUITTING Dropshipping...
to start a Brand.
It's been a good year or so running multiple Dropshipping stores.
I've learnt so many things about marketing, funnelling, website optimization, and media buying (just to name a few).
All the ups and downs, and all the ins and out.
But I want something more. Something long-lasting. Something I can build a relationship and provide REAL value to my customers.
So today, I am officially marking it as the day I start building a Brand.
It doesn't mean I'll stop Dropshipping because it's an amazing way to get fast cashflow and inject capital into my Brand.
But more time will be allocated towards building my Brand.
Can't wait to see my progress in a year from now.

NEVER trust anyone online.
I’ve been in the Dropshipping game for a little over a year now.
Since then, I have:
✦ Generated 1.5M+ in Revenue
✦ Pocketed $150K in the Bank (Yes, the margins are atrocious because I didn’t know what I was doing)
✦ Bought over 10+ mentorship/courses/memberships combined
If you’re new to dropshipping and you’re not sure who to trust, here’s a list of criteria you should note:
→ Is the person you’re learning from (or planning to) currently running any Ecom store to date?
→ Are they able to show consistent monthly sales?
→ Is the course/mentorship they’re teaching, up to date? (Meaning no 2022 recording bullshit)
→ Are you able to get profitable sales with the methods they’re teaching over a set period of time?
→ What do their current students success look like? (Are there multiple students hitting consistent numbers or just one?)
→ How active are they? (If they’re flexing their lifestyle, RUN. Yes, there are exceptions, however, if they’re too busy posting their lifestyle, most likely they’re also too busy for you)
Now that being said, none of these don’t mean anything if YOU don’t put in the work.
So..
Get back to work.
People complaining about Meta's recent mass ad rejections and ad account bans.
Meanwhile on TikTok..
For those experiencing issues with sharing Datasets from one BM to another, either if you're getting an error message or it's simply not appearing - try the following (it worked for me):
1. Add the Dataset from your Host BM to any ad account (from the Host BM).
2. Share the ad account from the Host BM to the Adv BM (Advertising BM).
3. Give the profiles full control to the ad account (Host BM).
4. Then the profile that has access to the ad account (which has access to the dataset) should have access to the dataset and you can use this dataset to run campaigns on your Adv BM.

I beg to differ🏄♂️
(ASCs only)
Meta is clearly in a battle internally on what to do with ASC "everything." Currently no one is winning. We are the losers because it's clear as mud on what to do most of the time. Ask any DR/DTC advertiser right now and I'd bet 50% of us aren't using ASCs bc they've destablized

Blessed.
Blessed to work at the comfort of my home.
Blessed to organise my own schedule.
Blessed to work around the people I love.
And most importantly, blessed to work on the things that I love doing the most - Ecom.🫀🔐
