- 11Why does social media traffic never convert to sales?Visual and social platforms drive high visitor volume but fail to capture buyers with immediate purchase intent, leaving store owners with heavy ad spend and zero sales. This disconnect stops ecommerce brands from getting a return on their social investment, forcing them to rethink whether passive discovery networks can ever generate qualified traffic.

Mistakenly setting up a 50/50 split without a vesting schedule or yearly reviews can derail a business. Protecting your venture requires setting clear vesting structures, reviewing terms annually, and deciding if you can launch independently instead.
