Hello everyone,
*canva
Let me start with my Dolphin Dreams update before I get into my main topic.
I have 2219.729 HP. I need 5K aprox to hit Dolphin. So that leaves me with 2780.271 HP to go in the next 157 days. I need an average of 17.7087324841 HP a day! I WILL DO IT.
Okay, Failure! I failed, at least for the time being on launching my online Hive-Swag store. I thought I had it up and running. I did. But people could not get past the check out. Kept getting an error. Yes I found out why. Could I fix it? Maybe with a lot of time. Will I keep trying? Yes. Will it happen in the near future? I doubt it.
My idea, my research (maybe someone can inform me of a better way) led me to Shopify. I thought the easiest, cheapest why to go about this was with them and add a company(s) that would do drop shipping for me. Yes it can be done. But I think between the issues companies are having with Covid19 and the lack of ease of adding shipping options to my online store and the real lack of time I have to put into this at the moment caused me to pause.
So I am writing about it, hoping for some advice. I figured, okay, someone buys a product, pays for it, I take the profit. Turns out it is not that easy, on less I missed something. I thought the drop shippers would be paid directly. But from what I learned, and I could be wrong, the movement of money got a little to much for me. I make a sale, it goes into my shopify account for payout (when ever payout dates are, I never checked). Supplier bills me. I have to pay that up front. blaw blaw blaw.
To be honest, what I was looking for, because I am on a tight budges and tight time lines was a drop shipper that would sell custom designed products, take their portion of the sales with shipping and my markup would be my profit. Without all this, in between stuff. Is that option out there? I am sure it is.
So for now I am pausing the effort. will working on it in the back ground. And hope for some advice from all my wonderful Hive, CTP Talk family.
Do I feel like a failure? No. Will I succeed in the future? Yes.
Stay tuned.
