Business Story

Why this business was started

Although I've done quite a bit with online marketing, website building, blogging, affiliate marketing etc., I'd never built an online store. This was the chance for me to do it. I asked my 3 kids if any of them wanted to start an online store. (aged 12, 13, 14 at the time). I only had one taker. I let her pick the niche and this is what she picked.

The reason of selling this business

I am going to start another online store that won't cause the friction this one has with my wife. When I work on the site, she thinks "i'm just staring at women in bathing suits" which is silly, but it is what it is. Plus, it was supposed to be a 50 / 50 venture with my daughter. It kind of is, but it kind of isn't. I worked on the site and SEO. She handled social media, but just doesn't spend the time I'd like her to. I now feel a regular job would be a better way for her to make money. We got a great start for you, but it's just time for someone with passion to take it to the next level.

What's involved in running this business

Sourcing products, writing product descriptions, adding photos to the site, adding alt text to photos etc.

    Seller‘s Advice

    How to grow this business

    SEO for sure. However, this has massive potential based on the traction I've already gotten. I'd move to paid advertising, but there is a conversion issue that I feel others might be better suited to fix first. We're using a dropship model from China. I'd try to source more items that ship from USA.

    Shawn V.Current store owner
    I started this store with my 14 year old daughter in 2019. I've done alot of work on the SEO & building the site, etc. No paid marketing at this point and YTD (today is July 21, 2020) we've had 8905 store sessions from search & social media. I'm selling b/c I have quite a few other sites for other niches. When I work on this site, it creates a bit of friction with my wife plus I intend to start another store in a niche that is REALLY exciting to me and won't have the friction and it will enable me to focus on the new store without friction.
