Hi everyone,

For those who launched a new e-commerce store from scratch and managed to get sales, I’d like to hear your experience.

When you enter a niche where competitors are already established, even if you have a good product angle and a clear offer, trust is still a big issue.

Customers today often check reviews, social proof, previous buyers, brand presence, etc. But when your store is new, you don’t have much of that yet.

Let’s assume the basics are already done:

• clear product page
• benefits-focused copy
• transparent shipping times
• clear checkout
• good product photos/videos
• refund/return policy
• decent ads

My question is more about what actually makes people feel confident enough to take out their card and buy from a new store they don’t know yet.

For people who successfully launched and scaled a new Shopify/e-commerce store:

What helped you build trust quickly at the beginning, before having real reviews and social proof?

Was it the offer, the guarantee, the ad angle, UGC content, founder story, customer support, branding, pricing, retargeting, or something else?

I’m especially interested in real examples from people who went from zero sales to consistent sales, and what made the biggest difference in getting those first customers.

Hi,

I’m curious to hear from people who actually managed to grow a brand new ecommerce store from zero using Facebook/Instagram ads.

By “from zero”, I mean:

• brand new Shopify store
• fresh Meta pixel
• no social proof
• no existing customer base
• no email list

A lot of advice online sounds very theoretical, but I’d really like to hear real experiences from people who went from 0 sales to consistent daily sales.

What strategy actually worked for you?

Some things I’d love to know:

• Did you start directly with Sales/Purchase campaigns?
• Or did you first build some visibility/trust with Traffic, Engagement or Awareness campaigns?
• Did you use ABO or CBO at the beginning?
• What daily budget did you start with?
• How many creatives/adsets were you testing?
• Broad targeting or interests?
• How long did it take before the pixel started performing consistently?
• Did you notice a big difference between launching a first store vs launching your next stores?

Also, if you’ve launched multiple successful stores:
Did you reuse the same strategy each time, or did each store require a different approach?

Would really appreciate honest feedback and real numbers/experiences if possible.
