I was you, five years ago.

2020. I lost my business-development job at a consulting firm in Oregon. Mortgage, wife, kids, and a shoulder in a sling from surgery. I had a laptop and a lot of evenings.

I taught myself e-commerce from YouTube. My first store sold inflatable pools: $200,000 in two months, in a pandemic summer, from my kitchen table. Then I bought a struggling hydrogen-water-bottle store off Flippa and rebuilt it into ionbottles.com. Four years later: $8.5 million in sales, over $2 million in profit, no investors, no agency.

The thing nobody tells you is that the hard part isn’t the work. It’s knowing what to do Tuesday night. I wasted months on logos and theme colors before I understood the order things need to happen in. That order is this course.

What you’ll actually do

Not theory. Ten steps in order, each one ends with one thing done. Most dads launch in about five weeks of evenings.

  1. 1

    Name it

    Pick a general store name and lock the domain.

  2. 2

    Set up shop

    New Gmail, Shopify signup, domain connected, theme picked.

  3. 3

    Pick your first product

    Score three candidates. Commit to one.

Steps 4–10, plus the tools: store-name generator, margin calculator, launch checklist, and every script word-for-word.

How much time does it take?
3–4 evenings a week of 30–60 minutes, for about five weeks to your first sale. Every step is broken into evening sessions.
I've never sold anything online. Is this for me?
Yes, that's exactly who it's for. If you can set up a Gmail account and follow a checklist, you can do this.
