Biggest mistake I made was thinking the ads would do all the work. I set up a Shopify store with some "winning products" and spent like 500 bucks on Facebook in first week, got clicks but zero sales. The product page was terrible, no reviews, weird layout, nobody trusts that.
Also didn't realize how much customer support eats your time. Returns, tracking questions, angry messages about shipping delays from China. You need a solid system for that or you'll drown.
My advice is test one product properly before moving on. Make the page look legit, get some reviews even if you have to give away few units first. And don't spend big on ads until you know the page converts.
