Hey @skandyx , sorry we’re late and missing you. But still hope this can help anyone else like you.

Let’s break you question into 3 part:

1. How to Grow Your Store

Growth doesn’t happen overnight, but here’s how to build it step by step:

  • Focus on 1 niche: Don’t try to sell everything. Be known for something specific.

  • Create content: TikTok, Reels, Pinterest — post short videos, product demos, or trends that match your niche.

  • Build a community: Start an Instagram or TikTok profile that gives value, not just sells. Talk to your audience like a person, not a brand.

  • Improve what works: Once something clicks (a post, product, or ad), double down and scale it.

2. How to Find Customers

Your customers are online — you just have to meet them where they already hang out:

  • Social Media: TikTok + Instagram Reels work great for product discovery.

  • Search Traffic: Use basic SEO in your product titles and store content so people can find you through Google.

  • Communities: Facebook groups, Reddit threads, Discords — just don’t spam, actually participate.

  • Ads (when you’re ready): Start with Meta (Facebook/IG) or TikTok ads, targeting people by interests that match your product.

3. How to Get Your First Order

Your first sale is all about trust and exposure:

  • Make sure your store looks professional (clear images, good product copy, reviews if you have any).

  • Run a small offer: Free shipping, a “first order” discount, or bundle deals.

  • Share your store with people you know and ask for shares.

  • Post daily content with a clear CTA like “Link in bio” or “Shop now.”

  • Use urgency (limited stock, countdown timers) to nudge action.

Let me know your niche or product and I’ll give you more tactical moves based on that
