First month was rough, not sure what to change

I launched my Shopify store about 5 weeks ago selling fitness accessories. Spent around $800 on Meta ads and got 4 sales. Total revenue about $140.

I know the first month is always hard but trying to figure out where the actual problem is. My ads are getting clicks (CTR around 1.8%) but people land on the site and leave. Product pages might not be great but I'm not sure what specifically is wrong.

I spent 2 months researching the niche before launching and it seemed like there was demand. Margins are about 60% on paper and I tested samples from 3 suppliers. I set up storeclaw to handle CS and follow-up emails so the backend is ready but there's not much to automate when you only have 4 customers.

I also have basically no reviews which probably hurts. Store just looks empty and new.

Is this normal early stage stuff or should I be worried?

Finally got the grease off my range hood. Any tips to keep it from getting this bad again?

I kept putting this off because it looked like it would take forever, but I finally cleaned my range hood today and I'm honestly surprised by how much better it looks.

The biggest pain was all the sticky grease inside the vents. I soaked the removable parts first, then used a small detail brush to get into the narrow gaps. That part took the longest.

The little brush was actually one I randomly added to a Shein order months ago, and it ended up being way more useful than I expected for cleaning tight spaces.

Now I'm mostly wondering how everyone keeps grease from building up this much. Do you wipe it down every week, use a degreaser regularly, or is there another trick I'm missing?

Recent nail haul

I've been trying some more unique press-on nail styles lately instead of sticking to my usual picks.

The last set is probably my favorite. It's a matte cat-eye design, and the shimmer is much more subtle and dimensional in person than it looks in photos. It catches the light really nicely without being too flashy.

Retail brand: Shein
