Building in public Update #2 — Slow Hustle

It really is incredible what you can achieve focused 60 minutes.

The second Slow Session was held this week and helped me accomplish some key steps towards making my first sale.

I entered the hour with the following intentions:

1. Sign up for and create a new e-commerce site.

2. Point my domain to the site

3. Add the product images and the product

4. Write this blog post.

I managed three out of four (this blog post was not written in the Slow Session hour).

Costs

6 pairs of glasses – $215 (included shipping)

Shopify signup – $29 per month

Progress

Website is set up and live.

Stock has been received.

Images are uploaded.

Product is live.

Next Steps

In next week’s Slow Session my goals are:

Select a payment platform for South Africa.

Implement the payment platform.

Test the checkout.

Set up Google ads and point people to the website.

That’s it for this update.

It really is incredible what you can do if you are prepared, focused and consistent.
