I’m probably not much different than you. My first thought when I accidentally derailed our launch this fall was to take a few weeks and come up with another grand plan to re-launch.
I thought I had to do something big.
And then I realized that what I was really doing was finding a way to procrastinate.
And really, I’m committed to showing you how things really happen. And the reality is that most people don’t have a crazy good launch.
Like me, many of you will just stumble into business, and make it up as you go.
And so, I just started.
I think it’s important to share this, because it’s at this stage that many people get stuck, and start to feel a bit lost.
But here’s what you can do when you feel a bit lost:
You can set a few goals, and then create activities that will get you closer to your goal.
Here’s my 30-Day Goals:
1) Get a min of 3000 web visitors without spending a fortune
2) Grow my email list
3) Get some sales and figure out what’s working for us
You can see what we did, what it cost, and take a look at my Shopify dashboard here:
Here’s the short version:
1) Traffic of 3000 web visitors
→ Total Visitors 3706
→ Free Traffic 1690
→ Paid Traffic = 2016
→ Cost per ULC = .59
→ Attribution Sales = 14
→ Value of Sales = $451
2) Build our email list
→ Total email list 2700
→ Launched The Perfect Giveaway (Inner Circle training)
→ Spent $222.95
→ Paid Leads 587 Cost per lead = .37
→ Sales 9 (this list converted at 1.5%)
→ Value of Sales = $264
3) Get some sales
→ Run a simple email only Black Friday event
→ Spent = $140 on lead generation
→ Leads = 113 cost per lead = $1.24
→ Sales = 7 (this tiny list converted at 6.1%)
→ Value = $163
→ Total BF/CM was 14 orders = $482
Summary:
Our total sales: $1289
Our total spend was : $1184
So, we basically spent as much as we sold.
We also had wholesale sales of $1944, so we actually made it through the month with a profit.
But here’s what I know… we are setting ourselves up for success.
When I look at the data, I see a number of clues that tell me I’m on the right track.
Next week I’m going to show you what’s working in this business.
I’ll show you how I find the clues in my business, so you can look for them in yours.
Then, we’ll analyze our results and make some good decisions about next steps!
