from failing products to 12k days in ecom

for context, i am 21, nearly 22, male, and selling in the us. i started with ecom about 2 years ago and in the beginning almost nothing worked for me. i tested a lot of products, but most of them failed. i also spent money on ads that did not perform, so it felt like i was working every day without really moving forward. the biggest problem was not only the products, but also my website. it looked too basic and had almost no social proof, so people visited the store but did not trust it enough to buy anything. after some time i understood that getting sales is not just about running ads. you also need the right product, a better looking store and more trust on your page. for me, marketing and conversion optimization made the biggest difference. i started improving my store step by step and focused more on making the website feel more trustworthy. winnerfinder.de helped me mostly with that side of things, but i also used other tools too. one more thing that worked really well for me was influencer marketing on a low budget. a lot of smaller influencers were open to affiliate deals, so i did not always have to pay big upfront fees, and that made testing much easier. now, 2 years later, i am hitting 12k days in ecom. for me that is proof that even if you fail a lot in the beginning, you can still make it work if you keep learning and improve the weak points step by step. have any question feel free to ask
