For current dropship store owners ONLY
Build, Grow and SELL Your Dropship Store with a NO Bullsh*t Dropshipping Coach
…without the horrors of listening to fake gurus
Dear Established Shopify Store Owner:
Are you looking for a dropshipping coach to help grow your dropshipping store?
Have you thought about the future of your Shopify store?
Even if selling isn’t on your immediate horizon, preparing your store for a future sale is crucial. Imagine running a successful store, only to find out it’s virtually impossible to sell when you’re ready to move on.
Why would you think of such a thing when sales are going well and life is peachy with your store?
Let me ask you something…are you going to take your Shopify store to the grave?
Didn’t think so.
Eventually, you’ll need to decide what to do with your store when you’re ready to move on, whether that’s a natural event or something that’s forced on you due to outside circumstances.
What’s Your End-Game?
Here are Your Options:
- Let your store die
- Donate your store
- SELL YOUR STORE
Which one is it going to be for you?
You’re getting sales, sure, those paid ads are pulling their weight, but… what if you hit the pause button or your ad account got suspended
Crickets.
Look, I get it. Paid ads are a great way to get cash flowing. But as a former Shopify owner who sold their store successfully to a buyer, I gotta level with you…a store solely reliant on paid traffic is a risky bet for you in the long run, and a major turnoff for any potential buyer down the line.
A Shopify store relying solely on paid ads lacks intrinsic value, making it very risky and difficult to sell. Potential buyers see the danger in ad accounts being suspended or other uncontrollable events.
You DO Want to Exit Someday, Right?
Buyers don’t want your store that’s built on a house of paid ads. That’s why it’s important to not ‘find a winning product’, but BUILD A WINNING STORE!
The Goal is: BUILD TO SELL
You need to be building your store to sell. Even if you’re not planning on selling anytime soon. What does this mean? It means shaping and positioning your store to be irresistible to buyers by checking off the boxes that they look for. An experienced dropshipping coach can help you do this.
What Makes a Store Sellable?
- Easily transferable
- Not highly attached to your personal identity
- Has a competitive moat
- Healthy margins
- Converts well
- Sales trending up but room for growth
- Diversified traffic sources
- Happy customers
- Many more factors…
Imagine your hard work turning into a valuable asset you can sell because you planned ahead.
Maybe selling isn’t even on your radar right now. But life throws curveballs. Maybe a new venture sparks your interest, or you just want to take a well-deserved break. Or most likely… you just get burned out and tired of running it.
Having a sellable store gives you options. It’s like having a golden ticket tucked away for the future.
Picture This…
…Picture seeing your margins go up, costs go down and the value of your store increase because you did the necessary prep work ahead of time to make it irresistible to a buyer.
…Picture yourself taking your BIG FAT CHECK from your store sale and using that capital to invest in your next big thing, take a vacation, buy real estate or anything else…
…Picture feeling proud of yourself that you were smart by building to sell and not letting it fall into the massive Shopify store graveyard.
Instead of turning ads off and just throwing it into the graveyard of used and abused Shopify stores, you instead get a nice reward at the end for all of your hard work by getting paid and selling it to a buyer who will carry it on for you.
So we’ve established that you need to be thinking about your EXIT PLAN for your Shopify store. Now what?
Make Your Store $ellable
You will need to create and shape something that’s actually SELL-ABLE. Because the moment you turn your ads off, or even worse, your ad account or Shopify store gets banned, SALES GO BYE BYE.
That is considered HIGH RISK to a buyer.
When you are building your Shopify store on paid ads alone, your store is a SLAVE to the paid ad gods. The moment those paid ads stop, your store stops. Very few buyers would want to take a risk in buying that.
Thus, you’ll have a hard time finding someone who will want to buy your store from you when you’re ready to move on. And we all have to move on at some point, right? This is where having a dropshipping coach on your side can help.
All that being said… Running paid ads isn’t a problem in and of itself.
The ultimate problem is that relying on paid ads alone does not create intrinsic value for your Shopify store, which is what MAKES DEALS HAPPEN.
So what makes something sellable? Something is sellable when intrinsic value can be TRANSFERRED to someone else.
If you wanted to sell your Shopify store RIGHT NOW, what are you ACTUALLY giving a buyer that has intrinsic value that you can transfer to them? If your entire store can go to zero the moment your ads stop, BUYERS WILL NOT BE INTERESTED IN YOUR STORE.
A buyer is basing their decision on the RISK they will inherit from doing a deal with you. Because of the extreme risk to buy something that can be turned off at any moment, any savvy buyer will say “Nah, I’m good. You got no intrinsic value bro!”
Don’t run a store like that, unless you just want to run a pump and dump meme stock of a ‘business’. Work with an experienced dropshipping coach to help you build, grow and even SELL your store properly.
Stores with Intrinsic Value = $$$
When you buy a home, you are buying intrinsic value. You can live in the home, rent it out or even watch its (intrinsic) value appreciate when real estate values rise. The fact that the home has intrinsic value is why you’re able to sell your home when you want to move and someone will buy it.
Same with a car, farming equipment, a pizza oven and yes, transferrable businesses.
Now look at the majority of Shopify stores out there…
Most of them are ugly…amateur looking…convert poorly…but worst of all…most of them have no intrinsic value and are built on a house of paid ads cards (if they even got those to work).
So there’s this minefield of half-baked Shopify stores out there that either never got off the ground or did get off the ground but never went on to sell, because they weren’t built to sell.
So, without doing something about this problem…your only option is that your Shopify store will eventually sell at a cheap price due, get banned from ad account shenanigans or just DIE completely when you’re done using it like the empty rag doll that it was…
…almost as if it had never existed in the first place.
It won’t carry on after you.
No life in perpetuity.
No brand legacy.
And more importantly…
No successful exit for you with a fat check in hand.
SADS.
Why would you go through all of the trouble to build a store, just to have something that is very difficult to sell in the end? Don’t do that.
$707,766.61 in Sales (without ads)
Now, why should you give a shit about what I say?
Let’s talk about what I did… I generated over $707,000 in total sales with my Shopify store without spending a single penny on paid ads. I ended up selling my store to my #1 direct competitor and getting bought out in CASH. I saved $18K by not paying a 15% broker and doing the deal myself.
- I built my store to be highly transferable.
- I built my store to be conversions-focused.
- I built my store to have good margins.
- I built my store to have consistent free traffic.
- I kept growing it until it was producing 50K months with FREE TRAFFIC.
This is what you want!
You want to build your dropshipping store with the mentality that one day you will sell it because unless you’re going to take your French merkin store to the grave, you’ll need to do something with it at some point.
Intrinsic value is created through various means:
- SEO value
- Brand identity
- Recurring customers
- Uniqueness and moat
- Stability, predictability
When you consolidate all these things you find that what you are actually doing is building a brand.
Are You a Business or Meme Stock?
What separates successful dropshippers from the fly-by-night tadpoles, is that the successful dropshippers focus on building a BRAND, while the fly-by-nighters roll the dice by building a single-product store, while crossing their fingers that the customer DARE NOT navigate away to realize that the rest of store is EMPTY.
That might have its place if you’re treating dropshipping like a pump and dump meme stock.
But I like to build actual businesses. This is another reason why it’s important to have a dropshipping coach who understands how to do this.
The only thing separating you from all the other dropshippers and AMAZON, is your BRAND.
But that’s long term right? That’s hard and mysterious right?
Yes and not exactly.
You don’t have to take 20 years to build a brand. I built my brand for my last store in about 6-12 months.
That is only possible to do if you understand WHO you are branding for.
You only create a brand for a single audience that you define. Once you understand who that audience is, then branding is EASY.
My Unique Branding
Promoting my store at an event…
When I decided to move on, I was able to find a buyer and sell my store, because I built to sell!
Could I have taken it even higher?
Yes, of course… But part of the game is knowing when to cash out, where you are in life, what other goals you have, and if you need capital for other things… I was able to sell it because I built it correctly from the beginning.
Here are some screenshots showing how I had multiple buyers actually fighting over my store.
Buyers Competing for My Store…
I then went on to sell my store to one of these HUNGRY BUYERS and walked away with a nice check when I was ready to move on from my Shopify store.
Here’s the final email from the buyer to sign the purchase agreement to finalize our deal…
Email From the Buyer…
and the contract we both signed to consummate the deal.
Signed Contract…
It is now run and operated by the proud new owner, who has made it even better than before and is making a LOT of money from it, without him spending anything on paid ads.
He got a LOT of value from our deal and we both got something we wanted. He got a great deal on a new brand, and I moved on with a nice check for all my hard work.
By the way, this deal was done completely WITHOUT a broker.
I saved 15% on expensive broker fees by doing the deal directly with the buyer myself.
In the end, I was able to sell an online business directly to a buyer for CASH, all because I built my store to sell from the beginning.
If you needed to move on from your store RIGHT NOW, would anyone buy it? If no, then you have work to do. Working with a dropshipping coach will shave A TON of time off the learning curve to get you to your goals.
