I recently took a small 1.5M loan at 0% APR from my girlfriend’s future father in law. This allowed me to buy out an e-commerce store that was going out of business.
After immediately firing everyone, I used AI to revamp the website. Now everything is automated which means I can earn money on vacation. The sheep buy my product while I sleep.
I found a white label company to sell the product and have been averaging $5k/day ever since. Product reviews have suffered slightly (only lost about 2.5 stars on average) but the amount I’m bringing in monthly has been well worth the changes.
Hope this can inspire someone out there. You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be profitable. It doesn’t matter where you start.
It does matter how you treat people though.
I’m not here to downvote you or yell at you or make you feel bad in any way.
That’s awesome how well you’ve done, but I genuinely mean this with all kindness, you might look back and regret speaking this way about other people, your own customers.
Even if your feelings don’t ever change and you continue to just see the people as sheep, it’s better for your business and reputation to be polite anyway.
If you’re thinking “So what? This is just an anonymous throwaway account?” I wouldn’t be so sure, especially if you piss off the wrong person. Just be kind, even if you don’t mean it. That’s being a professional.
