How to increase sales for a fully automated replica website with 20k products?

[unin777]

Hi all

I'm Unin, and I'm new to offshorecorptalk. I'm sorry if I'm posting to the wrong section.

I'm a dev and I have been into replica market for many years. Last month I decided to start a website and start selling online. Since I'm a dev, things went so fast. the only issue that I have is that I don't know where to start advertising, since I don't have a huge budget to spend on advertising.

I don't know if the following info can help, but here's the list of things that I do:

1. I have access to over 100 direct suppliers for all product categories and brands. This makes a huge profit margin as I'm not using resellers. Also, quality of the products are really really good as I have order from most of the suppliers over the years.
2. I have developed systems to automatically add products to my website. I can add around ~400 products everyday for the first phase, on the next phases, I can make this reach 5000 or even more products per day.
3. I have also developed a fully automated payment cloaking system. As I have access to many stripe and paypal accounts, I made a system that will automatically switch between the accounts so they don't hit the limit. Also made a system to block Stripe's spider bot that can ban the account.
4. Almost everything is automated.

I would really appriciate it if anyone can help

Welcome to OCT! I'm genuinely impressed by how much you've already set up, the fact that everything is fully automated speaks to your talent and, above all, that you’ve got a solid business model.

That’s why I’m a bit surprised you haven’t yet figured out how Google Ads work, or how people in the replica business manage to bypass Google’s rules and make use of the many alternative ad networks out there.

Given the setup you’ve built, there’s no way you’re a complete beginner. And if you are, then I’m even more impressed, you must’ve spent a lot of time researching, testing, failing, and trying again to end up with such a polished and impressive system.

But you’re going to have to find some funding for ads.
Otherwise, you should consider buying one of the many email spam lists available out there and start from there to bring in your first orders and build up some initial capital.

Thanks erni. Honesty I'm a beginner in ads and marketing but not development. I'm a software dev with over 15 years.

The other issue that I have is the the funds. I know starting with 500$ per month won't work. So I would like to know what methods are available? I tried Facebook ads and uploaded my catalog but did not get a good result as my daily budget was really low.

I’m also open to partnership if anyone is interested!

I have nothing to add of any benefit to you. Im impressed by what you already did and am sure you will figure out the last bits and pieces.

Being an entrepreneur is never similar to being on a straight path. Enjoy the ride!

Linkbuilding could work well, but it takes time and a lot of work to get it all work out as you whish.

It sounds like maybe you spent a bit too much time on the products, from personal experience it is better to have eg 1 site for X and 1 for Y instead of trying to recreate Amazon from the start with tens of thousands of unrelated products. Think of it as if you are the consumer, would you purchase something on your site?
