The Sales Rollercoaster: A Journey through Ups and Downs

  The Sales Rollercoaster: A Journey through Ups and Downs

An update on my Amazon Merch adventure is long overdue, and I must confess, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There have been moments when the sales graph resembled a flatline, and a cloud of confusion lingered over my journey.

It was a rough stretch, starting from October 12 through to the 25th of October 2023. Thirteen long days without a single sale. The reasons elude me, like whispers carried away by the wind. It was a strike of zero sales, and it hit hard.

Yet, as they say, the darkest hour is just before dawn. On October 26th, a glimmer of hope emerged when I made a sale to someone in Italy. They embraced one of my Halloween designs in the form of a sweatshirt. It was a breath of fresh air in a room filled with uncertainty.

But, alas, it was short-lived. The past two days have shown a return to the eerie silence of zero sales. The rollercoaster has indeed taken me for quite a ride. The beginning was a burst of exhilaration and boundless optimism, but it appears the journey had other plans.

The question that looms like a shadow is, why? What could I do differently to bring back the regular rhythm of sales? The answer remains elusive. It's like searching for the end of a rainbow—promising but ever so distant.

With November and December peeking around the corner, my hope is that these months will usher in a brighter phase. But for now, I find myself in a waiting game, with bated breath and crossed fingers, hoping for the tides to turn.

To keep the creative spirit alive, I continue to add new designs to my Amazon Catalog. And, I'm not neglecting the other platforms either. I'm aware that diversifying my presence across different platforms may not have yielded instant results, but it's a strategy that keeps my creative fire burning.

If you've ventured into the world of Print on Demand and have tales to share, I'd love to hear from you. Your experiences, advice, and insights could be the light in the tunnel I've been searching for. So, please, chime in, and let's connect.

Here's to brighter days and a future filled with creative successes. Until then, the journey continues, with hope as my compass and creativity as my guiding star. Thank you for being a part of this story.
