I started the business with a mate, because we're both involved into our religion.
We have different believs/religions, but our vision was the same.
We had a vision of using the margins to organise big Christian festivals and support schools in developing countries. Even start schools on our own if time would let us.
The reason of selling this business
It's difficult to combine my full time study with trying to keep the site up.
We've had countless instances where we lost a couple hundred dollars on advertising, because none of us could check up on the ads. The next person should be able to check up on the ads regularly or have a VA take care of it.
What's involved in running this business
Without VA, it would take about 4 hours per day to get everything done: fulfillment, ordering, research, SEO texts, check up on ad campaigns.
This business was founded:over 1 year ago
Time to run this business:approximately 15 hours per week

Seller‘s Advice
How to grow this business
This store can grow with a minimal budget to a revenue of about $1000 per week. I've broken the budget down into tiers. (Minimum budget is $75 for apps and shopify subscriptions) This is how I would grow the store over the next five years broken down into monthly budgets.
$75-150/month:
Instagram bot that helps with organic follower growth (You can message after the sale me for a good option)
Same Instagram bot that messages your followers with new deals and gifts.
Weekly or maybe daily deals on your socials and e-mail list
Social media post planning
Good e-mail marketing campaign setup
2.$150-500/month:
- hire a VA to do the above for you
- focus on new product development and adding new products
- moving succesful products to your local fulfillment center
3.$500-1500/month
-fb ads for both cold audience and retargeting
-google shopping ads for warm audience and retargeting
-google brand awareness
-google retargeting
-VA to oversee your marketing campaigns.
-VA to process orders
- Sponsored posts on Instagram and Youtube.
Extra: create a more general brand name and focus on brand reach.
Skills to have
-Social media Marketing
-Hiring and managing VA's
-Google Ads
-Product research
All the above can be done by a VA, but it's important that you have a basic knowledge to be able to follow what your VA's are doing.

Elisee k.Current store owner
I'm a medical student with a passion for entrepreneurship.
My last store made a revenue of $5000 within one month of launching.
When I start something, I have the tendency to persist until it is succesful, which is both a blessing and curse.

The revenue and traffic data that you see on each listing is pulled directly from its Shopify account. This means that the data has been verified. Exchange reviews and monitors listings for thorough and accurate information.
