My understanding is if you aren’t profitable within 6 months you won’t make it. The first 3 months are extremely important. Social media isn’t the best way to draw people in from just creating catchy posts. You’ll need to pay for advertising which won’t be cheap. You could have someone pass out fliers to draw people in.

Personally I would be extremely careful how you reply. I had a business partner who replied back with a FU response. Google shut him down and someone immediately took ownership. It was a painful 3 months are fighting to get it back. It was an extremely weird how it even happened but it really f’ed with his store.
