My Malibu Swimsuits

I started this business because I wanted to work from home part-time while I was going to school full-time. This provided me an easy way for me to do both without spending a lot of money. This was easy to manage and easy to promote but I didn't realize how much time it required which is why I decided to sell.

Like I've mentioned previously, I've started school right when I started this one. I had to decide which business that's a better fit for me at this time in my life. I have one more year of school left and currently need to have less off my plate so that I focus on finishing.

Fulfilling orders, responding to customer inquiries, marketing on social media, researching trends and running different ad campaigns. There are free apps available to you through this site that will provide you with dropshipping products and will process the sales for you. You will just need to select the apps and then upload the products, price and pics to your site. Very quick and easy. I can help you with this.

T-shirts, hoodies, accessories such as watches, bracelets, earrings, etc for men and women. Offered at great prices via dropshipping. I specifically look for items that I personally would like to wear or I've seen people around me wear the most. Observing the people around you and what they wear will give you an idea of what's trending. This used to be a site for swim wear but I changed it later on. You can change yours as well to a store that fits your desire.

This store is a good investment for someone who's looking to get a taste of what it's like to be a store owner. If you're somewhat of an expert and would like to add to your portfolio and challenge yourself to scale this business to higher level, this can work in your favor. Anyone who's looking to earn extra money will also find this shop very useful.

Have a great marketing plan in place. Research trends and focus on re-targeting your main audience. Run promotions often.

Not much. Just ran facebook and google ads after uploading the products and prices. Be consistent. I cannot stress this enough.

Marketing - I've found Facebook & Instagram useful. Customer Service - Process orders in a timely manner. Respond to every customer inquiry. Time Management - Put in efficient time running your store. Inventory Management - Keep products current & in stock. Sales Promotions - Run these as often as possible.
