It’s kind of a weird year right? I’m busier in some areas and slower in others. So I am trying to figure out some new things to try and instill. I’ve been looking into ecommerce trends for 2021.
I’ve been trying to decide on if I want to continue working on what I have, or try to grow in a new area. As my illnesses get harder to manage, the idea of selling products online sounds more appealing and doable.
I already set up a small boutique through Facebook, but I have not dedicated anywhere near the effort and time to grow it yet. Like it’s there, and I’ve made a few sales… but I am literally just letting it sit.
That is no one’s fault but my own. I think I need to step back and focus on one thing and get really good at that one thing, then add in other things. Most people are still shopping from home, so this seems like the best place to focus my energy right now.
I don’t see anything really going fully back to how it was before. Typing that completely disappoints me, but it is what it is and I am only one person. So for now, I have to go with the flow and put my energy into what is working right now.
What I am doing right now is dropshipping. I don’t have a home that has a space to hold on to products. So instead I work with a person that makes the products and ships them. All that I need to do is market them, make the sale, and pass the info on to her.
It’s really great, I just need to focus my time much better at growing it. It is an ever-changing product base too. She is smart about watching trends, so she always has something available that people want to buy.
I just need a kick in my fanny to get it done! Also, I need to focus on much more than just the Facebook boutique page. I think branching out to selling on Instagram would be a great idea, but I’ve never dealt with the selling part of that yet. It will definitely be something I need to look into.
My brain just spins and spins, but not with empty thoughts. It’s too many thoughts and ideas! Most of them are great, but I think so much that I let them overwhelm me and then they get pushed aside. I could totally be some sort of millionaire right now if I could just stick to one thing long enough to get it going.
I’m not even kidding. Millionaire. I’m not getting any younger and I feel like I am so far behind in life and it isn’t from the lack of trying, it’s the not following it completely through. It’s me getting overwhelmed and shutting down.
Sadly, part of it is straight-up my illnesses and I HATE using that as an “excuse”, but it is just simple facts. This is why I think I need to step back and focus on one thing at a time and try to get that one thing up and running smoothly. I do think that e-commerce is the way to go.
