My 2 cents :)
- web design is bad, it looks very cheap
- price is way too high , can find half price on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Vailge-Waterproof-Scratch-Nonslip-Standard/dp/B07DCT6SPY/ - all the reviews are obviously fake
- this is not a good product to dropship
Its not easy to tell what this store is about in 1 second. (Neuromarkering experts say it takes about 0.5 seconds for people to make an image in their head about your website regarding quality, price,etc)
Thats very important when you want to capture the attention because most people have a attention span of a gold fish nowadays.
Do a test with your friends or family, show them this website for one second and ask them what your website is about, if they can’t guess what this is about then you should think about changing the design (specially the first picture in the homepage)
Here is a nice example : https://dribbble.com/shots/5472674-Wool-Knitted-Caps
Ok so, Here's a few things I noticed from viewing your site.
​
No favicon, not a big issue, but the text on your browser tab has poor grammar, things not capitalized, and should be a sentence.
​
Your logo... WTF? Make a logo on Canva with your Name "Ruff Adventure" Not a picture of someone on the mountain.
​
Your header bar, Why isnt contact us capitalized? Structure it better. Could be "Home, Shop, Shipping, FAQ, Tracking, Contact Us"
And then in shop have a drop down of categories.
​
Your slides: Grammar is bad in that. No structure and not capitalized, too fast and random pictures with no buttons for people to click through and find products. Display products there.
​
Blog posts: Should be at the bottom, why are you not immediately showing products. in fact, I would have a about us section there explaining your mission and what you provide. Basically your mission statement.
​
Products: Create categories, if you were a shopper would you want to be thrown into 600 different products that are not similar? What if I was just interested in solar panels and not rain covers? Why are you showing me all at once.
​
Import customer reviews from ali with LOOX.
​
​
Overall, I'm sure you tried hard, but this is very rushed and bad. One thing you did right is some product descriptions. So keep doing that but you have a lot of work to do.
The first issue is what do you want to do on the web? Sell or disseminate info?
Have you tried wordpress.com? Just pick a template and start uploading. It's that simple.
Huge base of free user help.
Good luck!
I like it! Looks legit to me and not like most quickly set up and lazy drop shipping sites. The only thing I would do is change that first picture on the banner. It doesn't look like super great resolution. Check out unsplash.com for great images that will fit really well. Keep going onwards and upwards!
Hey,
Don't listen to what other people are saying, you got this! I think your best bet with reducing development time, but not abandoning design is to use a Wordpress site... I know I know...Wordpress sucks sometimes, but you'll have quick turn around.
I would check these free themes out: http://designscrazed.org/free-wordpress-ecommerce-themes/ and this cheap one from Woothemes: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/.
Hope that was helpful!
Yes you can absolutely start selling from Amazon to eBay. That's how I started too when I first came across the concept of dropshipping.
When you place an order with Amazon, there's an option of gift box, that would avoid Amazon from adding an invoice into the box.
Even if by mistake your buyer does end up with the amazon box, you can always tell them that your products are stored at Amazon warehouse to avoid paying extra shipping.
eBay will not block your account because eBay supports buyers who Dropship as long as they promise to fulfill the sale. You'll just have to carefully monitor the items you are listing to ensure there is no price change.
You can use -
1) Keepa - https://keepa.com/ for Amazon Price tracking 2) eBates Cash back website - https://www.ebates.com/r/GARIMA127?eeid=28187 to earn cash backs while placing orders with Amazon.
I always dig into these "gurus" stats using Similar Web. It's not a perfect estimate, but it looks like he doesn't generate a lot of traction. You can see the numbers here: https://www.similarweb.com/website/thefancygadget.com
​
Ps. Keep in mind that Similar Web doesn't show the estimated number of visitors if they "lack sufficient data". From what I've seen, this is usually ~10k visitors a month.
Check the Stripe Restricted Businesses for your local country. We're from Portugal, and you can see here https://stripe.com/en-pt/restricted-businesses under High risk businesses, that drop shipping is included. I went to go check and it does not seem it is on the US version... So it probably depends country to country.
use your high res images and use https://squoosh.app to save as .webp It's going to give you the best of both worlds.
Next, not sure what platform you are using. I use both google and gtmetrix.com to measure each of my pages. They will both tell you what is blocking your load time. a LOT of the time you can speed it up by adding defer tags, or async to scripts that are loading.
Wordpress, there is little you can do about it. Using redis and other tricky stuff I got a WP site to around 85 or so. The only REAL solution using WP is going headless.
With shopify, I'm guessing that headless is also going to be the path to a fast site.
I do not use either one for the backend, but front end, currently I use static landers/entry pages on everything.
All of the commerce platforms have gotten so bloated. Good luck!
Answering your questions in order:
- My third product was profitable. Now i realize that the reason previous 2 didn't work was because i wan't using good instagram pages for shoutout (I didn't use facebook ad at the beginning.
- Yes Oberlo streamlines the ordering process so its one of the most important app to me.
NO branding, just regular dropshipping via aliexpress.
Didn't do anything different. People discuss over whether to do one product store or niche store or a general store. What I say is it does't matter how many products you have since your customer are landing on your product page. - Most of the logos and designing are made by myself (I sometimes hire from fiverr). I do my designing on canva.com.
- I think it took about a day to setup my first store. Now it takes me around 2 hours.
- Yes, Not everyday though but overall in a month I am profitable.
- To increase the appeal - Any free review apps and a sticky add to cart button app.
- I bought few courses in the beginning to start off. After having certain level of experience I found content of Gabriel St- Germain most helpful.
DISCLAIMAR I AM SELLING SOMETHING BELOW IF YOU HATE THIS STOP RIGHT HERE!
BTW i have few course that I bought when i was starting dropshipping. I have following courses:
- sebastian ghiorghiu - Ecom Alpha paid $594
- Gabriel St-Germain - Ecom Blueprint- paid $297
- Scott Hilse - Simplified Dropshipping - paid $497
- Biaheza - Dropshipping Course - Paid $294
If you need them just pm me. I will give each for $20 or all of them for $50 :)
Best of luck for your progress!
>How important is the description?
Very important, after photos, focus on benefits of the item rather than its features, describe how your item solve a problem, go to amazon.com an check some good listings.
>How many items should you have from the get go? I have like... 25, which I get is really low, but is it too low to launch with?
Doesn't matter, most of the buyers don't go further product page.
>How much did you spend on the logo? I was going to use fiverr, but was expecting to be spending about $10-25. Unrealistic in hindsight, but it looks like this will really eat into my total budget of $300. I found one designer I really like for $45 but... is there another trusty source where I could look for a logo designer, or does $50-100 for the vector file and all sound pretty standard?
You can do it yourself in trial period of canva.com it has nice templates to create a simple logo.
>Is my budget realistic?
Depends how many products you want to test daily and how many audiences for one product, if you advertise on Facebook/Instagram. Start from $15-20 daily for one product.
>Are the default Shopify TOS and Privacy Policy statements good enough for dropshipping?
Check other stores what they have and compile yours.
>Is there anything I'm overlooking? Any common pitfalls to avoid? Here are a few other things I'm keeping in mind or have already worked on so far:
- Facebook/Instagram business pages and learn to advertise on both.
Hey, I use one called Quik on my phone to make the videos and then email it to myself so I can download it on my computer. Its free so its worth giving it a try:
You can also Google "Royalty Free Music" to add a nice beat to your ads.
Hope that helps!
I'm not sure the amount of customization you can do with this, I'm just getting into searching my own options, but bootstrap is like prebuilt theme code you can use https://getbootstrap.com/
Afaik it shouldn't have any impact
amazon.co.uk gives me 35 mobile and 77 desktop
Loading a random product page gives 41/70 respectively
I partially disagree. This is quite true if I were to give you a 3-step process where, at the end, you are guaranteed to receive 1000$ from me. Unless I'm charging more than the 1000$, I'm not making a profit.
That said, just like this subreddit needs better moderation, it also needs to get over its aversion to paid content. Because that information does exist in books, seminars, and yes, online courses, but it will only be accessible via a paywall. Breakthrough Advertising (amazon link - not affiliated!), for example, is a book that is kept rare by artificial scarcity, and yet, you'll find people who swear up and down by it, from gurus to CEOs.
In the same way, the largest names and personalities on youtube really do probably know what they're talking about. It's the fakers and imitators - the people trying to copy the success without the knowledge - that OP needs to watch out for, because they really are just predators.
I did a quick search and found a very similar product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/theft-Backpack-Laptop-Charging-Women/dp/B075VQT1HV/
Here's what I recommend you should be asking yourself: > Why should people buy this from me and instead of buying it from a trusted source like Amazon?
Once you have a reasonable answer to that question the rest of the process is less of an uphill battle.
Just remember, your audience is not a flock of sheep that will give you their hard-earned dollars just because they saw an ad on Facebook.
Give value, get sales. Give lots of value, get lots of sales.
Bro. I used the method above about a month ago with NordVPN and a USA Sim Card. My account was instantly shadow banned. I think TikTok is shadow banning users who use VPN. The device never had TikTok installed previously.
I found this in about 30 seconds. It’s cheaper and I can have it in 2 days after I order. Why would I buy from you?
I’m using esim card from airalo but I wasn’t able to access tiktok when I turn the line on so I turned the esim line off. I’m using vpn from ExpressVPN. then I turned my vpn off after posting on this tiktok account and when I switched to my other personal accounts. Now my account got shadow banned and I’m getting 0 views. Could it be because I didn’t leave my VPN on even while scrolling my tiktok personal accounts?
Thanks for posting this question. I've been thinking about it myself.
- Have you or can you write a small 1 page blog sharing your experiences? Others could learn from it and avoid mistakes and maybe share their learning too
- Brand building takes time. Read https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Dog-Memoir-Creator-Nike-ebook/dp/B0176M1A44 by Phil Knight on the founding of Nike for example.
- What tech stack have you been using or have converged on? Shopify I guess but what else. If you want to build a brand you need to hit users with timely & relevant messaging over sms, email etc and stay top of mind but in a differentiated personalized way. Example birthday discounts with a special message(see Chewy doing this). Happy to talk more if you wanna slide into the chats
Your product seems unique, I've never seen it before. But the product is not the problem, it's your website, which if you don't mind some brutal honest needs a lot of work to look credible.
This is not an exhaustive list, but consider it a start:
You need a logo. There are tonnes of AI logo generators out there that would work just fine.
You need policies in the footer - Terms & Conditions, Shipping, Refunds, Privacy. Shopify provides free versions of these you just need to customize.
Your Contact Us page needs a contact form. Also the space between info and the @ means it's not clickable (I get that you might have done it this way to avoid bots though).
There's no header menu link to take you to the product. If I'm in the Contact Us page I have to click on the not-really-a-logo to get back to the home page where I can purchase the product.
The product description needs a lot of work. Look at the same/similar product on Amazon . Even though the text is in terrible English, it's a marked improvement on what you've got now.
My recommendation to you would be to look at any successful eCommerce store, especially for small brands with a limited range, and try and emulate some of that on your own site.
Might be that the price is too high compared to amazon/dp/B016MX6F70/ And I hate pop-up notifications. Even if it is for a discount. When clicking on on the shop button, it directs to an off-putting pink foam. The picture quality looks poor as well. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
Part of the problem is that people really aren't seeing ENOUGH value to compel them to buy even after getting to your site.
The other part may be that, after a quick google search, I found these on Amazon, which seems to be the exact same product, for $17.99 & $17.50 (presently), w/ free 2-day Prime shipping. https://www.amazon.com/smoothie-squeeze-cooling-Milkshake-protable/dp/B08883HC5N
https://www.amazon.com/WEICHA-Slushie-Smoothies-Portable-Homemade/dp/B0928YLLGW
That kind of product is Over Saturated, some people would have seen it before. I actually thought about selling it
On Amazon a similar product has 8,000+ reviews at a lower price : https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Headphones-TOPOINT-Microphone-Handsfree/dp/B07DG279MB
Also here’s another good website selling a product like that : Sleepathy.com
I know this thread is probably dead, but in this article (https://stripe.com/blog/why-some-businesses-arent-allowed) states that business that attract money-laundering or fraud such as drop-shipping aren't allowed
are you linking theme normally or using this method https://stripe.com/docs/multiple-accounts
the only concern I have is getting suspicious activities from stripe.
a question, once your stripe account is up, it does matter from where are sales coming from! I can always change stores?
Most likely they are not intriguing enough. It depends on the niche you are in, short cuts where you cut to the interesting bits and esthetically pleasing color pallets are a factor for sure. You don't even have to slap your logo on your videos or photos, it'll look tacky. Make sure the photos or videos are high quality, no one trusts someone to sell quality products if they cant show of quality media. Don't just cut your videos to the next frame, give it transitions, maybe align it to a beat with a buildup. You can use sites like pixabay.com/music/ for royalty free music. It's a great site and lets you filter for music clips that are supposed to invoke a certain emotion.
Another thing you could try is spying on some ad's that work and recreate that format but before you do that I recommend to create your own thing. But this is an approach I've seen work for some stores.
If you have problems to get creative for photo ad's you can go on sites like Canva.com and have a look at their templates. It always helps to get inspiration.
This is what I'm listening too, right now
The wordpress software is open-source and you can run it on any machine you like. You're running it on a machine that belongs to Wordpress.com, which is a hosting service. They're telling you that you need to upgrade to a business plan to install plugins on sites hosted with their service.
If you were running the wordpress software on your own computer, or on a virtual private server you rent monthly from a provider like digital ocean or linode or vultr, you wouldn't be getting this message.
Your product pages are just part of the SEO pie.
This is a timeless SEO resource to read:
https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Back to your product pages. A strong ranking signal is actually doing sales! It’s the ultimate indicator that you’re providing the best answer to a customers issue.
Site looks like it's got good content which is the most important thing for a site. I would add some branding though as it's looking a bit vanilla. Where's your logo? Who are you as a publisher? Remove "Blog at WordPress.com" from the bottom of your site.
And finally... are the products on your site dropshipped? you should put a price and not just a buy now link.
Wordpress (Free) + AliDropship Plugin ($69)
I’m assuming you know how to install Wordpress and start a website. This is your best option especially if you really don’t want to pay high Shopify monthly fees. Hope it helps!
Stay away from them. We integrated because of their promise of US ware house and 24 hr shipping. To pay you need to use what they call CB wallet and they pass on the paypal fees to you. They promise 24 hour shipping but nothing happened for more than a week after we placed a customer order. When we complained we got standard precanned responses from China. Finally when I threatened to raise paypal dispute they canceled the order and said it will take few days to credit the money back. Guess where the money goes...CB wallet. And it takes 3 days to put it back in their own wallet. Now you need to do another transfer again. On a $250 refund you will lose more than $13 just on paypal fees for a worst customer service ever on the planet. Even worse the item is not even shipped.
Many others seem to have the same feeling
This is a paid advertisement for a scam website called product mafia, admins are being paid
Read reviews of product mafia scam
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.productmafia.com
I lost all and any respect to this group and to the scum admins
I want to warn everyone here about Product Mafia recommended by the OP who is more likely David Linder.
This is all a sneaky paid advertising, I wonder how admins here allowed such garbage
Please read the reviews on trust pilot of what a scam product mafia is
Amazon is a good way to earn money. The main advantage of selling on Amazon is FBA (fulfillment by Amazon). Amazon will do everything from logistics to shipping for you. I did find one article with real numbers and real screenshots. The author is also a real person: https://amzscout.net/blog/how-to-start-selling-on-amazon/ I hope I helped.
I can recommend AMZScout https://amzscout.net/ You can find comprehensive articles about FBA in their blog. If you want to watch videos about FBA you can visit their YouTube channel. Maybe you'd better join the FBA courses?
First, you should find products that meet these criteria
-High Demand
-Low Competition
-Price Range $30 - $70
-Good Profit Margin ( >30%)
Look at Google trends, Amazon bestsellers, what Instagram influencers are selling.
To find products to dropship on Amazon I use amzscout research tools, they help validate product profitability and suitability in a few clicks.
There are tools that can help you find niches and products. I am using AMZScout tools. Check out AMZScout Pro at the Chrome store for example. It has data on niches, keyword data, fba calc., etc. You can also check out this article about finding suppliers https://amzscout.net/blog/how-to-find-suppliers-guide/
Product photos are real mockups, you can find very cheap online sites that will do this, placeit.com is my choice. Started founding success with $10 p/ test ad set, most gurus say $5, I don't think it's enough since most of my Cost Per Purchase range in $6-7 mark.
I also use a price monitor, but I have to pay. If you are doing dropship, the installed plug-in can be automatically synchronized. It is difficult to find a free and available price monitor, but you can use API tools such as apify to grab webpage price changes. Understand the code
You should avoid doing all with clicks and actually learn the command line, in the long term doing it manually will save you so many headaches. It is just a simple steps away from following some guides and you will know *what* do you have installed. That way you can start with VPS/Cloud instances and when the traffic really spikes on, go for a dedicated server, which have the best cost/value for high traffic sites. On top of that, there are some cloud providers that have a patient support, like Rosehosting or kinsami.com, usually you can ask anything infinite times and they will answer.
I like your story. I should check into DSD and see what it's about. I got into the dropshipping business and all but I did it a different way which was buying a list of dropshippers and wholesalers for $5. Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out. https://sellfy.com/p/I1rP/
If it's credit card debt, have you talked to your bank about opening a low interest line of credit and switching the balance over onto that?
Have you done serious rebudgeting and weeding out unnecessary payments? Have you reduced your existing bills?
Check out https://www.mint.com/ it's a great way to see your finances and to make them better.
You're essentially going have to cut the fat, if you haven't done so and keep on paying that debt to better your credit score.
In the mean time, can you find any wholesalers that use PayPal or wire transfer?
>Now Facebook ads. Use video ads as creatives for marketing. You don't have to shoot a video with the product. Just a nice slideshow video is enough to test. Why video ads (facebooks algorithm has prioritized video ads. You will get a much better CPM with video ads compared to the image or any kind of ads.
Grate tips Ashan, definitely video ads will get him a higher CPM.
You can do this short presentation videos for free online, just check this free slideshow maker tool!
I really like it. Not my general kind of style or product, but that's not what you're asking about. The website seems to be made with some thought and attention to detail. Of course you don't have any product pages in there, but my impression is that you wouldn't fuck them up. I like the clarity and focus. There is one minor and one major thing I would improve:
- the minor thing is that your top bar and bottom bar offer the same navigation options. I'd suggest to remove those from the bottom bar and just slim it down. This would also fix the 'weird' positioning.
- The major thing is performance. Your site takes very long e.g. when switching from the landing page to 'about us'. I am reporting from a normal computer and cable internet. Just as a rule of thumb your page should load on a mediocre mobile device (think iPhone 6 or even older) in less than 500 ms. Perceived loading counts, and I guess you bundled your website as one long thingy that will all be loaded at once. Use loading animations instead (better animations, yet more involved). Make sure to compress your site and minify your source. Aim to get something to the screen of the use in less than 50 ms.
I would really appreciate if you could also answer my question.
remove.bg and free canva.com can be used together really well. I actually purchased canva premium for one month, just to tell them thank you. I have used the free version for quite some time, and am currently on my 2nd month, which I have now cancelled, and I am going back to using remove and canva free. Works just as good.
I made you video: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cY1YfOCdBo
I messed up on some parts though. My was was wrong on the pricing when I said something about $20 off. Also, your little chat bot is offering a coupon but it's messed up.
You need a real product product description. Find out how much blowouts cost and how often women need them and put something like, "Save $xxx per year."
Pick a market. Do you know of any real brands that have the words "Shipping Method" describing the region they ship to, on the product page? Stick to the USA, IMO.
If you have a pixel with data on it, then just let FB do the work for you. Optimize for purchase targeting women 21-40 or 50. FB is really smart and will get your ads in front of the right people. I think over-targeting is a big mistake a lot of noobs make with FB ads.
Edit your reviews to make them believable. The Fay Rosenbaum reviews doesn't seem legit for a number of reasons. Also, lots of Jewish girls have really curly hair and get a lot of blowouts.
I'm no guru by any means, but I've had a lot of success with ecom and I think you're really close on this.
Also, $200 is nothing to test a product. I know you're young and don't have a lot of cash, but this product is probably good. Just make a brand around it (like you're doing), but do a little bit better.
I think there was a lack of effort with market analysis, competitor analysis, and design refinement. I also think the copy is very poorly done, see below:
> This is all you need!
>
>We happened to identify the root-cause of quite a lot of the problems that a lot of people actually have.
>
>This problem is actually the bad posture of people. By slouching, you are self-inflicting long-term problems. These can vary from the ones described above, to even others, like low self-esteem.
>
>Why? Because you don't look good when you slouch!
>
>It's a small problem with an easy fix.
Among the errors in diction and grammar, I just think the word choice is just poor.
Here's one of my favorite resources for people looking to learn copy.
Also copy and past your text into word and grammarly.
I hate being too harsh here, but sometimes it's what people need. I hate to see someone wasting money on ads with a site like this. Only the best are making money, I think this is far from where it needs to be.
Davinci Resolve it’s an amazing fully fledged video editor and they provide a free version. It has a steep learning curve because it has everything you’d need to make a full on documentary but it’s free and won’t limit you in what you want to make for yourself.

Hi, one of the problems with your website is the speed. It has a slow response time and bad pagespeed score. There are also broken links to Pinterest. The copyright year is outdated. And there is not much content near the products. There are also some pages in the sitemap without any links. I would start with fixing these issues.
https://www.pulno.com/shared/7549d57f443deb21 - here is a seo report for the website.
This would help with usability and creadability of the website.
I've generated an SEO audit for your website.
The website looks great and the audit didn't found any really problematic issues
Since tons of people access their Facebook accounts (or browse Facebook-connected websites) through a VPN, it's a sure-thing that Facebook knows which IP addresses are VPN connections. They can't determine reliably which country you're accessing them from when you use that connection, so they can't provide you with ads. Seems reasonable, when you think about it. There is a way around it, though.
You can set up your own cloud-based proxy. If you get a cheap virtual private server (vultr.com offers one for $2.50/mo) you can choose pretty much any distribution of Linux to install on it and use it as a proxy.
Note: I'm on macOS, but maybe someone running Windows can chime in with advice about doing this if you need it.
Once the server is set up, I use ssh [email protected] in Terminal to connect to it and log in. (I made that IP address up, of course). If that works, that's all the configuration your server needs. Disconnect, you don't need to keep that SSH connection open.
I then use ssh -ND 1080 123.234.012.123 in terminal and it sets up a Socks 5 proxy through that connection that I can then use on my Mac.
I run Chrome from the terminal as well, with open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080" and when it launches, any browsing I do may as well be coming from that cloud-based virtual private server.
When you're done, shut down the VPS and destroy it, as most VPS hosts charge you for the time your server is running and there's no sense paying for a server unless you're actively using it.
This would probably serve your needs and would cost you less than $1/month.
Yeah what do I know I only have been working online for almost 18 years created multiple websites including a Facebook alternative site, made over a million in affiliate revenue, a power seller on eBay, but yeah listen to the 12 year old above me.
Hi Everyone
Regarding the "follow" blockage issue, Instarazzo team of developers has been trying to tackle the issue. Fortunately, the results are promising. Now the bot is working. However, for those still facing this issue, They have changed the proxy provider. Now you can buy an advanced dedicated proxy on the platform. by the way, the price for the proxy is €7.46.
Beware that it may take 3-5 days for the proxy to come into effect.
exercise due diligence and do your research. chinabrands is not as good as it seem to be. I suspect OP works for them... https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.chinabrands.com
other links are useful tho
The product page backround should be white, and it takes 10 seconds for the page to load. No one going to wait 10 years for all the repeat photos to load. You have like 30 pictures that are all the same. You should have 6 photos at most, your reviews are way at bottom no one will ever see them. Use gtmetrix.com get your page speed under 3 sec. Contact me I can help you re-design the site for free if you like.
If you have doubts about them, then try to make a contract on terms of % from raise in your revenue ? This way you most protected from fail, but if the growth big and real you'd have to pay them more. I am not 100% percent sure but there is a templetes for such thing in e-sign services like DottedSign, Esigngenie. The ony thing if they accept such deal.)
If you're using a VPN like NordVPN or ExpressVPN, you gotta understand that the IP these providers give you has been blacklisted from every social media website.
You're not going to warm up a FB account for 4 days using a public VPN and then be able to use that account for long. People warm up accounts for months with a good proxy and still get banned.
Also, just get a family member's FB account. That's the easiest option you have and it'll work for quite some time depending on the volume you do.
It could be the site layout. Your above-the-fold section is very vague.
When you revamp it, it needs to be more clear what your product does as soon as you click onto the site. Your slogan is great, "Give back to your eyes," but I have no idea what I'm looking at when I log on. And that's a problem, you could lose a lot of clicks that way.
Also, there's way too much text for a homepage. I would look at similar stores and see how they structure their landing pages.
Overall though, the site's not bad. Miles ahead of some of the other stores I've seen. I would read this book: Building a StoryBrand
I use a barcode scanner ( not affiliated ) you can also enter the upc to find out what prices the item is selling for on ebay and amazon.

Free but has ads.
For the people struggling to increase their conversion rate, I recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Dropshipping-Increase-Conversion-Proven-Profits-ebook/dp/B087NZGBPT/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dropshipping+conversion+rate&qid=1588379441&s=books&sr=1-1
This is NOT an affiliate link, you can search for the book on Amazon yourself if you want, however it gives the exact steps to increase conversion rate and to detect so-called 'conversion killers'. Tiny investment for your online store.

Are you sure about that? I did a little bit of deeper digging. The second picture on Amazon shows a box which appears to look branded: https://www.amazon.com/Solo-Blend-Rechargeable-Detachable-Stainless/dp/B07VJKY7F3?th=1
Get better pictures of your items without the packaging in the back or the hand. The phone case should take up the majority of the screen, and you can get someone on Fiverr to remove the background for a few dollars. Because the camera is so zoomed out, to where it's including so much other crap in the shot, it's difficult to see the items well from the home page because the item is such a small part of the picture. You might be able to find professional pics on AliExpress or elsewhere on the internet. These pics look like they were taken with a camera phone by somebody just working out of their house, which may be true and there's nothing wrong with that, but you want your customers to think you're a big, established company, and a big company would have professional looking pictures with a plain white background.
You can buy an inexpensive photo light box to take pics of your items so they'll have nice lighting and a clean white background. (AliExpress has those even cheaper, if you don't mind waiting much longer to get it.)
It think the prices are waaaaayyyyy over the top in £ (GBP).
https://floataway.store/collections/pool-rings/products/pink-doughnut <- Your price £29
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bigmouth-Giant-Frosted-Donut-Float/dp/B007Q2KZU0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1529747222&sr=8-2&keywords=doughnut+pool+float <- identical item £12.26
Can you do anything about improving the price point?
I'm not American, so I'm unaccustomed to American pricing expectations, but, that said, isn't $14,99 quite a lot of money for "novelty" socks? I mean, they're nice looking and I'm sure the quality is great, but it still feels like a lot of money for socks.
Took a quick peek at amazon - 8 pairs of polka-dot socks for $17,99? I think price might be a big part of the conversions problem.
google keyword planner / trends / correlate
and the best seller rankings on amazon (note the sub categories too) , example "banana holder"
scroll down
Best Sellers Rank #56,057 in Home and Kitchen (See Top 100 in Home and Kitchen) this is really terrible , we want to kind of ignore top 100 because thats what everyone focuses on but below 500 is bad
140 in Home & Kitchen > Storage & Organization > Clothing & Closet Storage > Clothes Hangers > Standard Hangers **so if someone is actually just going to amazon and typing hangers under home and kitchen we have a chance...long shot""
but to keep with the example : [google trends}(https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=banana%20holder) - apparently april 2015 was the month of the banana holder (maybe it was on a cooking show?)
etc
is it popular? will it sell? what do people search for to find this product? too much compeition? etc
