One person's agent-run online store got a first sale, after paid ads
The poster set up a group of Grok Bot agents to research a product, design packaging, build a Shopify store and draft Meta ads, approving each step himself. He says the first sale came within 24 hours of going live. He was also paying for ads at $50 a day and several other tools, so one sale says little about profit.
Poster's claim, not verified: He reports a first sale. He doesn't share revenue or costs beyond the $50 a day ad test, and we have not verified any of it. Results are what people report. We don't verify earnings. Most people earn little or nothing.
The lesson: An agent can do the busywork of starting a store, but ads and tools cost money from day one. Count the costs, not just the first sale.
