Shift to custom goods, automate sales—Phase 2 cash turns into freedom. Here’s how to start today.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Build an eCommerce Brand
- Nail a Brand Niche
“Organic pet beds”—standout beats boring. I chose “minimalist home decor.” - Order Custom Stock
Alibaba—50 $4 items with my logo ($200 total). Sold at $20 each. - Set Up Shopify
$29/month ([Shopify Affiliate Link])—pro store in an hour. - Run Cheap Ads
$100 on TikTok—“Cozy pet bed deal!”—made $600 profit month one. - Automate Fulfillment
Hire a $10/hour VA—$5,000/month with 300 sales by month five.
AI Bonus: How to Speed This Up with AI
ChatGPT—“10 product descriptions for pet beds.” List them, sell quicker. Copy.ai ([Copy.ai Affiliate Link]) writes killer ad copy—my TikTok ads doubled clicks. Simplified ([Simplified Affiliate Link]) crafts product page blurbs—faster listings.
