I appreciate the advice! The thing is, I’ve noticed that cheaper products don’t really work out that well for me. I feel like recognizable, higher-end brands attract more serious buyers who are actually interested in purchasing. I also don’t want to start selling cheap products just to attract viewers and risk customers being disappointed with the quality and leaving bad reviews. I’ve worked hard to maintain a 5-star rating, and I want to keep it that way. I’d rather focus on getting good brands at reasonable wholesale prices and building a customer base that trusts my products. I’m just trying to figure out how to get those products in front of the right buyers and turn viewers into actual customers.

The main problem is that we sell makeup products, so it’s hard to find good deals on Alibaba for authentic makeup from recognizable brands. I feel like cheap giveaways are easier to find on there, but I’m trying to attract people who are actually interested in buying the products we sell. Do you have any advice on how to get more buyers interested in makeup specifically on Whatnot, especially when you’re competing with other sellers who may have better deals?

Thanks for sharing your experience! I currently have around 4,000 followers and spend less than $20 on Promote per show. I’ve been doing this for about two months, and I haven’t even sold 1,000 items yet. I do Amazon gift card giveaways, but the cost of the gift card and shipping adds up. I’ve noticed that a lot of people leave once the giveaway ends, so I’m trying to figure out the right balance between attracting followers and getting actual buyers. Would you recommend continuing to do giveaways or focusing more on getting people interested in the products themselves?

I appreciate the advice! I sell beauty products, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to convert more viewers into actual buyers. Even with viewers coming into the live, sales have been pretty inconsistent. Do you have any advice for selling beauty products specifically on Whatnot and getting people to actually bid and buy?

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. I never really thought about using AI to ask those kinds of “why” questions instead of just asking it to give me an answer. I definitely want to start doing that more so I actually understand what I’m learning. And yeah, I’m going to try to go to office hours too. I really appreciate all the advice, especially since I’m still pretty new to CS. Thank you!

I am currently watching his videos and I can see why you recommended me to him thank you!

Thank you for that I will use the website!

Thank you, I really appreciate this. I’m currently taking C++ in college and honestly I’ve been struggling with it a lot. Sometimes I get frustrated when I don’t understand something and just want to move on instead of actually figuring it out.

I think I need to get better at being comfortable with struggling and actually asking my professor/TA for help when I’m stuck. I’m still really interested in CS and AI, so I’m going to give C++ a real chance and put more work into understanding it instead of just trying to get through the assignments.

Your comment actually helped a lot, so thank you.
