I did work today for the nails dropshipping business

I revised the titles, descriptions, tags and permalinks for 10 items. I also setup the Google Analytics for ecommerce tracking, setup Google Search Console, installed a CRM that connects to Woocommerce, revised the Terms & Shipping page, and updated the Privacy Policy page.

Now I just need a regular schedule for adding new items and marketing.

There's no way around it, I have to do the work

When they start talking about how long an affiliate business takes to make money compared to service business models, I had to admit the truth. I've shared my affiliate links in TONS of places, and I have yet to break the $100 earnings mark. Meanwhile, my dropshipping ventures have made more than that in the first month.

I changed the nails dropshipping site to an affiliate site. Why? Because of laziness. Because of my refusal to do the work. I didn't feel like rewriting titles and descriptions for about 60 items. Even though I knew that making those updates would only improve sales. Switching to an affiliate model was a stupid move.

If I want the business I have to do the work. There's no way around it. I can't afford to pay someone to do it, so I have to do it.

The nails business is switching back to the dropship model. What will I do differently this time? A few things:

• Import and revise a small number of items at a time. I got overwhelmed because I listed almost 100 items that needed to be updated. Adding about 10 items at a time should be good.
• Implement a consistent marketing plan to generate sales.
• Once the store is profiting $40 per month, I'll upgrade to the complete order automation plan.

I am officially banned from selling on ebay

So ebay shutdown my nails dropshipping business today. Another account with good feedback and this time also a good "seller status" but they didn't care. The initial email stated that they found I was also the owner of my first account that they shut down, and wanted me to call them to "resolve" the issue. When I called, the rep said that all she could tell me is that they knew I also owned the other account that was shutdown, and that they couldn't tell me anything else. When I asked why, she stated it was to prevent someone from trying to circumvent their systems. She also told me that my selling privileges on both accounts were suspended indefinitely.

I'm glad that I saved the payment emails from my ebay sales, as they're going to be my starting database for when I launch the website. I'm building the site with Woocommerce and Ezusy. I've selected about 100 products, now I just have to edit the descriptions and prices to upload them to the store.
