Shopify Store Suggestions

[techonext_us]

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all doing well.

I have been working on my Shopify store named, TechoNext US; basically for gaming products, for the last 8 months, and I could not see any progress after a lot of investments. 

I wanted to ask, whether it is normal or if something is is wrong with my store or product? I put in all my efforts (Linking to Google Console and tags), skills, time, and even money (Facebook ads for a week to test, domain fee, monthly fee, etc.) as a student (I thought it could generate some earnings). 

I am humbled and writing here to seek your expert suggestions, on possible ways to have some sales at least initially cover expenses.

Could someone please suggest me improvements? Or some guidelines? I will highly appreciate.

Well, I don't want to deactivate my store, without having your suggestions, Leeds etc.

Everyone, even with little experience, is welcome to write something that keeps me in the business, either regarding changing the store name, changing niche, etc. 

I am open to every suggestion, and can even open a new store if it is not good enough.

My store link is: https://techonextus.com/

Thanks and kind regards

Hi Tech!  I was just logging on and saw your discussion topic so I took a look at your store.  First I want to ask, it is launched?  Are you asking why it has not made any sales yet or received any type of traffic?  The only aesthetic thing I can see is that all your photos seem to be floating at the same rhythm at the same time, and your product boxes I will say extend beyond the need space for your description and photo of the product.  That seems a little off to me.  Other than that your photo's are good, your script looks good and you seem to have all your policies in place.    It is a little unusual to see a "Track Your Order" button on the landing page, maybe bring it down to the footer of the page and place it as a menu item like:

About Us

Contact

Track Your Order (making this a clickable Link?)

etc.

        I am a newbie myself so, maybe my suggestion is not the best but, check the Shopify Academy to see if you can locate some information.  Have you done some Optimization at all?  I just learned Optimization is creating 'Trust'. So do you have any Facebook ads or emails?

Look business is business, opening a shop and having wares doesn't mean anyone is going to care. That's the raw truth of business and why 80+% fail within the first year. Your site as a whole has nothing unique to offer. It almost looks like a generic AI built site trying to honeypot folks who came in from some strange search vector. Looking through your socials I see very little uptake, plays, or following.

Traffic cannot be created, it can only be intercepted. So how are you stepping in front of a very highly competitive landscape of tech gadgets? Where is your value add? Why should I buy from you? What makes buying from you special? Where is the UGC that shows and validates that proposition?

It takes a massive amount of work to step into certain, if not all sectors of products and it is especially hard if all you are doing is dropshipping things to people. Amazon makes it easier and more trustworthy with their return policies. I don't know who you are, I can't vet who you are, I don't know where you are, and you have no trust accumulated that you can show. In today's market that makes what you're doing wildly hard. Not impossible, but you've picked an uphill climb in my humble opinion.

So what would I do? Back up and make a proper business plan with proper SWAT analysis, market analysis, and a 10 month operational plan from funding to marketing that explained the who/what/when/where/why and some excel sheets to show how it all will work. It won't, no plan does, but it'll give you the real exercise of understanding the depth of the undertaking. If you are in the states I'd sign up to SCORE and look into local schools or regional SBTDC or SBA to help you plot out how to build a business. 

If you're trying to avoid all that and just hustle the trend then hyper focus on one product that is rising and pound it until the clones push you out, shut it down and move on to something different. But a dropship hustle is a treadmill you'll never step off.

Food for thought. Good luck in your adventures.
