Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Gratitude and Growth in the USA

As we step into a new year, it’s vital to take a moment to reflect on the past. For me, 2024 has been a year filled with gratitude and remarkable achievements. The overall business revenue surged by 200% compared to 2023—an accomplishment I’m proud of! Moreover, I successfully paid off my mortgage ahead of schedule, bringing a sense of relief and lightness to my life. Although I still have a long road ahead before I can fully relax, I’m inspired to keep moving forward.

What Worked for Me in Product Selection for 2024

One of the key aspects that contributed to my success this year was the choice of products I decided to focus on:

1. Selecting Unique Products

One of the most fortunate decisions I made was to choose a product that had little to no competition in the market. This unique item accounted for 80% of my annual revenue. Here’s why it worked:

• 📹 The competition was minimal, yet the availability of video material was abundant, allowing me to create a large number of engaging videos easily.
• 🏡 I could film the product at home without needing to appear on camera, enabling me to use various settings to mimic real-life scenarios effectively.

2. Targeting Emerging Markets

Focusing on the German market proved to be a smart move. I cannot stress this enough: consider exploring local languages and markets where competition is low. My previous articles highlighted Germany’s less competitive landscape, yet its conversion rate is comparable to that of the USA. In some cases, product demand in Germany even exceeded that of the American market!

3. Experimenting with New Channels

This year, I also ventured into two or three smaller media platforms. While their traffic might not be as significant, the conversion rates were surprisingly effective. I plan to share more insights on this in future blog posts!

Plans for 2025: Striving for Greater Heights

Looking ahead to 2025, I have set ambitious goals to continue growing and achieving:

1. Expanding My Network

One of the greatest challenges in the realm of cross-border business is the feeling of isolation. Finding opportunities for meaningful conversations is often scarce. My goal for this year is to meet more distinguished individuals and enhance collaborative opportunities.

I recently watched a TikTok video featuring someone sharing their journey of turning $8,000 into $1.3 million. Such tales of determination and execution inspire me to adopt a stronger focus on taking action and bringing creative ideas to life.

2. Streamlining Work Efficiency

As 2025 approaches, it is essential to enhance work efficiency and productivity. I will prioritize automating time-consuming tasks, freeing up more hours to dedicate to more valuable activities.

Conclusion

As we wrap up 2024, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences and achievements I’ve encountered. Looking forward to 2025, I wish everyone wellness, peace, successful endeavors, and abundant earnings! 🌟#crossborder #independentselling #shopify
