Maybe this is my mid-life crisis. But then again – I have been thinking about and starting some small business since I was a teen. I finally feel I have something going (it’s like a novelty type thing, geared towards the patriotic American that likes to travel).
I got the idea. I got a machine to make my own inventory. I got all the costs under control and an LLC registered. I got a website with a webstore. Logo, company name, promotional items – you name it. All ready to go.
However, I suck at sales. I really do. Got a Bachelor degree in Supply Chain, but more on the procurement/planning side. I never understood sales or marketing. Every cent I spend on Marketing hurts me mentally, as I am thinking it’s a cent I’ll never see again.
How do some of you Superstars get Sales going? And where? How to advertise for reasonable costs, that turns into Sales? I don’t expect anything crazy, just starting to sell some of my product consistently as a side hussle for now.
I would LOVE to hire some Sales people on commission for example. I would gladly pay people for generating the revenue. I just don’t like to spend hours and hours on GoogleAds or Facebook Ads, knowing I am not only sucky at it, but it also just sucks funds from me with no actual return.
Greatly appreciate anyone who can get me on the right track!
Edit (wasn’t sure it’s allowed): www.ownall50.com go buy a tile, even though the website isn’t great yet! 🙂
2nd Edit: 11k views in 1 hour. Wow. Thanks to everyone who contributed some pointers for me, I greatly appreciate it! I will go back to the drawing board and come back with a better website. I needed you guys to open my eyes, but now I have some great direction for my next steps.
