How my $99 Gamble Turned Into a Multi-Million Dollar E-Commerce Business
ThankMcKinnonh for visiting the @eComCatalystCo Channel.
As an e-commerce business owner for more than two decades, I get asked on a near-daily basis to go have coffee or lunch to "pick my brain" about e-commerce. It's usually the same handful of questions ...
? How did I stumble into e-commerce?
? How do you sell online?
? If I wanted to do this, where should I start?
This off-the-cuff monologue is my story. It's all about how my e-commerce journey started, from making music in my studio and selling CDs and cassettes on a website all the way to doing millions of dollars in dropship revenue and eventually, creating my own private label brands and products.
I also discuss a $99 gamble where I rolled the dice on a supposed service that promised me access to products. I talk about that gamble and how it paid off into over $100M in revenue over the years.

10:38 - Dropshipping and my $99 Gamble
30:10 - Private Labeling
36:01 - The Pivot to Consulting and Agency Management
I hope this answers questions for you and inspires you. The e-commerce journey is tough, it's a lot of hard work, but it's INCREDIBLY REWARDING!
