Stuck Launching My Shopify Stores – Advice Needed on Budgeting for Ads 💡

Hi everyone,

For the past two years, I’ve been working hard on designing Shopify stores and learning everything I can about e-commerce. I’ve put a lot of effort into creating professional stores, but I’m struggling to get my first sale or client because I don’t have the budget to run Meta ads.

A small budget of $200–400 for ads could really help me test and grow, but I don’t know how to move forward without that initial investment. I’ve tried organic methods, but the results have been slow.

I’m posting here to ask for advice from experienced entrepreneurs: How did you overcome the financial hurdles of starting a business? Are there strategies to generate sales without paid ads, or ways to secure a small budget?

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips you can share. Thanks for reading! 😊
