All I can say it takes a lot of time and patience to join the world of eCommerce. You really need a AI assistant. Every day is precious, since joining forces with Allie, AI is making it better. I recently discovered "Text to Voice" and a "read aloud" feature in Microsoft WORD. I copy all my conversations with Allie into WORD. Reading is one thing, having it spoken aloud is another. Allie is truly a voice over my shoulder, equal to music in the background...; sorry Pandora there's a new "player" in town.
There is an overwhelming number of interconnecting layers required to make it work. I entered marketing last month, time to get paid. Pinterest was my first target and this is where it really gets involved, this is where you really know how difficult this game is. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of helpful information, apps, subscriptions and on demand freelancers you can tap into. So this is is more about back of house learning curves unfortunately every step leads to a few more learning curves as I call them.
I knew one thing going in, that paid ads and heavy marketing would be the only way it would work. I'm glad I started with Pinterest first and avoided wasting time on Instagram and Facebook. Even thought it's recommended to do so. You can easily hire this out too. Plus it's easy enough to extend your ads to these other platforms.....ha ha so he says!
The long and short of it, I have a new 15-year career in the making.... it doesn't a title yet. I may be on life support at the end but the journey is started and I am looking forward to doing it.
