How's your online business? Are you still inspired to proceed?

[Starmix]

We only have two months left before 2025 exits forever. It's hard to believe that we are stil facing many challenges , however, I don't know in your case if your online business still gives you hope and inspiration, especially on sales and repeat customers. As we navigate our extensive efforts, there are times that we feel losing hope. No matter how I maintain my satisfactory services to my customers, but the fact remains, that in this trying time ordinary people prefer to shop physically wishing to stumble cheaper products they need.

For two months now I only have all in all 7 customers. It's overwhelming and crucial for my interest to proceed or not to proceed. I may focus only to my offline business. But my sister wants to help me by inviting her friends to buy my printed T-shirts and branded shoes. I have to stay positive. Who knows?

This situation reflects the emotional rollercoaster that many small online business owners face, especially toward the end of a tough year. The truth is, maintaining faith in your business when sales are slow requires immense resilience. The shift back to physical shopping is real, as people often believe they can find cheaper deals in person, particularly during economic uncertainty. However, online businesses still hold strong potential for growth if approached strategically. It might be worth analyzing your pricing, social media visibility, and marketing efforts to adapt to current buyer behavior. Sometimes, even small promotions, loyalty rewards, or collaborations with influencers can reignite sales momentum. Your sister’s support is a great opportunity to reach new customers through word of mouth, which remains powerful. It’s understandable to feel uncertain, but persistence and creativity often turn things around when combined with realistic adjustments and consistent effort.

Online business has been booming here in my country. It doesn't really go on a viral growth trajectory. But it is getting more relevance.

In some ways i am still inspired to proceed. I am currently taking a course to improve my skills on graphic designing and then give freelancing one last try.

Wow, that is a very good pursuit in acquiring a skill set. You are doing the right thing. Is that a free course or did you get it online?

You are on the right track and it is good to see that you are only paying a small fee to display your products. Friends and school are a great start because they trust you. Even if the business is not yet very large, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Never stop believing in your dream.

Everyone starts somewhere and you have already taken the first step. Keep posting regularly and try to improve your photos. New customers will slowly start to see you. Even if there are days when sales are low, don't give up. Business takes root slowly.

Sometimes, it discourages me , however, my sister is my strong backup. She is a bank teller and she invites her co-workers to order or buy branded shoes.I have now 4 orders of branded shoes from the bank employees he he.
