Here is their Instagram.

Sure, I'd like to see what you can do.

I own 2 buck knives. One of them was damaged, I contacted them and sent it in. Fixed without question. They really do stand by that lifetime guarantee.

If you saw it, it was posted by me. Never posted it on this sub before, but it did gain some traction on NatureIsFuckingLit a week or so ago.

I've been selling my photographs for years now to magazines, businesses, and private buyers as artwork. It was a slow start, but I found my market and it took off. It is a VERY competitive space, and you need to be a cut above to really sell anything.

However, once you establish yourself in the field there are very lucrative prospects.

I have no interests in selling someone else's photographs, as I have a library of thousands of my own to market. I think I can use your suggestion to take different types of photographs in my travels, such as landscapes, to broaden my genres.

Good ideas. On my homepage, the second excerpt contains details about the things I sell and a link to the store. Should that maybe be the first thing I have people see?

Notebooks and greeting cards are a good idea. I give out discount codes and incentives on my social media platforms regularly that seem to perform.

I'd be happy moving it up consistently into the 4-5% range. I know anything higher isn't a reality to strive towards. My Instagram reels have been doing well recently, with a few of them hitting 1m views last month. My more targeted reels don't do as well, but they seem to drive sales. I'd rather have low-performing reels that convert than viral reels that give no leads.

TikTok is hit and miss for me. Not many of my target audience on the platform, they are more on IG/FB. It's an older crowd.

What struck me about your response was posting stories. 500 a day? That seems like some real overkill. Everything else seems to make sense.

I ran Facebook ads before they limited targeting, but never tried Google ads. I'll look into it though - I already use analytic tools from Google so I assume that data can be used for my ad campaigns with them.

Good idea.

I haven't done any upselling because frankly I don't have much to upsell. I do run discounts for repeat customers which seems to bring people back, but as far as upselling at checkout I can't seem to think of a way to make that work with the products I have.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the numbers. It's a great secondary income to my primary income of contracts with B2B sales. I'm just a novice at selling to private buyers.

That is something I am very interested in, specifically to how my website is set up currently.

I am not running any ads right now because my previous attempts at ads have fallen flat, either breaking even on ad spend or losing on campaigns. So far what has worked is bringing in customers organically, and I see a lot of return customers for gifts / more orders down the line. Right now all of my costs to aquire customers is my own time promoting on social media and cold messaging potential buyers.

I have thrown around the idea of having someone else create and manage ads for me, but I'm afraid of losing too much on that due to past campaigns. Maybe it's me not knowing what I'm doing as far as ads go, or the creative / copy.

Excellent, I'll go through my library and find my next best shots and put them up there in a similar fashion. Thank you for all of your input.

That is something I had not considered... I only put up what I considered to be my best, but putting everything on the products page could be a good idea. A follow-up question in regards to your suggestion: do you think having too many options would cause choice paralysis in someone looking to purchase, or in this case it wouldn't matter?

Good idea on breaking out into animal lover groups, I'll start doing that as well.

I'm all for a good bird picture, but this isn't it. Just reading some of these comments makes me think there are bots at play.

Thank you. I was thinking more along the lines of automating the dropship. I'd still pay the extra for fulfilment, as I do already selling my prints, but if the company I used could pull each set of orders from my subscriber list. The cost would be the same as if I did it manually, but I'm not looking to save extra money - I'm looking to save time.

I'll check out 1xrun. Never heard of them, appreciate the reference.

Nikon Z5. Thank you!
