I do it. I set up a store back in August. Made $250. But everything is slowwwww. Hard to build a following unless you are willing to spend big on advertising via FB and instagram

What's your store? I'm ready to jump in to this, but lack knowledge. Can provide capital for right partnership

I thought about drop shipping for sock but I figured the extra value I could provide by branding the packages and having 2-3 day shipping has really made a difference

We should all go into business together 👀

Today actually marks 1 month since I got my first order on my sock company. It’s fun to do. I’ve learned a lot

I’ve gotten a few sales. As I said I just started a couple weeks ago. I started with the Instagram page and trying to grow that organically. I use FB/IG ads to draw fresh eyes on the site and then using retargeting to try to bring some people back to the site. As far as brand I just chose a name that sounded cool and went with it. All the socks I buy wholesale don’t have a logo/label and I buy plain packaging materials from amazon for cents per unit so as far as customers are concerned they think it’s all branded and made in house
