Shopify Store Progress [Started Feb 16th] $11624.12 Total Sales - Xeriant - Mar 2, 2018
I started this store on February 16th and I've seen some pretty consistent growth so far. I only advertise on Facebook currently. Overall I've very new at this so I will not be answering many questions.
How much of this is profit?
Profit ~= 1/2(Gross Sales) - Advertising cost
Update 3/31 - 4/3

RE: $450 in Sales On Day 14 of Dropshipping on Shopify - Popstar - Mar 2, 2018
Well here's a question you can probably answer.
You can spend all your money on Facebook and insta ads, but how do you really get the customers in? What's the secret past just buying ads? Obviously, having a good profitable niche. But what else? I feel like I'm missing something.

Also from the ads I've gotta 400 email subscribers that I send newsletters out to every other day.

Right now I'm focusing on getting enough data on my pixel so that my retargetting campaigns are successful. All current advertising is on a custom audience with no retargetting as of yet. I have a lot of abandoned cart mechanisms in place as well.

Actual Profit after Paying for Items:
Probably won't be able to answer many questions, I'm pretty new to this myself.
i dont know anything about pixel but thats all the money you spent that day to make $450?

Nothing's wrong with it. I just feel like no matter how many ads I buy I can't make the sales lol. Was just asking for a deeper understanding of it. Congrats tho man keep up the good work

Damn, adcosts are fairly high imo, but you’re making a profit.
Long term it will payout even more

I could have gotten nearly all my sales without one of my ads (The first one) dropping my advertising cost to $50. I'm actively reconfiguring my ads and their budgets to try and get the best return on the ads.

As far as I know, Oberlo does not take the shipping into consideration for the profit.
If you are doing free shipping then you're losing money.

You're right they do.
Your conversion rate is good but it could better. More than half of people are leaving without buying once they reach the checkout.
The Add To Cart/Checkout ratio is good so there is something on the checkout page so give it a look.
