Inspiremarks

I'm pumped about this! It was just yesterday that I was trying to think about what I'm doing wrong with my store setup, SEO, conversions, etc...

I have the bookmark set in stores and I'm working on a cobranding deal with a coworking space, but this was the first time someone I didn't know bought a set from my ecommerce website. It's pretty cool.

My first online sale came a few days after I shared the store with my network on Twitter and LinkedIn. One sale was from a colleague at work and another was from a friend.

What is absolutely wild about this is I gave 100% off discount codes to a few friends and I got 0 orders from them. Zero at 100% off.

Getting sales is hard. Even when you give things away for free, it's hard to sell a product.

https://inspiremarks.com went from a vague idea in my head a few short weeks ago to a live product that you can buy and purchase online. There was learning every step of the way. I had to learn how to design a print product. I had to learn how to set up a shopify store. I had to learn how to take photos. I had to learn how to work with a printer.

I'm extremely proud of the product that I was able to create. Now, I need to work even harder to make sure people can find it and enjoy the set as much as I enjoy it.
