The Built Online Podcast EverBee

How did a failed $100,000 retail venture turn into a $259,000 online success story?
In this episode, Melissa shares her journey from opening a party supply store in January 2020, only to face the crushing impact of COVID-19, which forced her to shut down before even opening. She invested around $100,000 into the store, leading to significant financial strain. After closing her physical store, Melissa discovered print on demand through YouTube and started her online business in April 2022. Her first full year in the business saw her generating over $259,000 in revenue. She plans to expand her business by launching a Shopify store and potentially reapplying for Amazon Merch. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to persist and continuously put in the effort, as success comes with time and dedication.

How can e-commerce provide the freedom to travel and work from anywhere?
In this episode, Vicky, an artist who sells her work on Etsy, discusses how e-commerce has given her the freedom to pursue her passion while not being tied down to a physical location. She started her Etsy store in 2012 but didn't have the marketing knowledge to succeed at first. In 2021, she relaunched her store using print-on-demand services, which allowed her to offer a wide range of products featuring her designs without holding inventory. Despite facing challenges with learning SEO and finding her niche, Vicky has grown her store to over 250 sales. She emphasizes the importance of resilience, focus, and not giving up too soon when building an e-commerce business. With the right mindset and tools, e-commerce can provide the freedom to work from anywhere and pursue your passions on your own terms.
