What's going on guys?!

Over the past few weeks, I have been getting things organized so that this summer I'm able to launch 5 to 10 more brands. I am at the point where I need to focus on what I do best which is building stores, brands, and advertising. So I either need to partner with someone or outsource the whole product research side of it to someone else.

Hiring makes the most sense, but maybe, just maybe I'll find some knowledgeable people looking for a JV.

The situation:
I work full time as a Real Estate Agent and full time as a Server at a restaurant. I've also got a few SMMA/branding clients. The thing is that whenever I am not working, I am staying up to 3AM to build these ecom stores and as of right now it's a bitch to handle it all.

My ideal partner and what you'd do:
It's a requirement that my future partner(s) have experience with drop shipping. And not the type of experience where you tried and failed. I'm looking for those guys that we able to see a pretty nice profit of $2-10K/month but for whatever reason had trouble scaling from then on. Maybe you didn't have the right skills or knowledge of how the store should be set up, or of how to bring back customers via messenger. Maybe you didn't know how to spy on your competitors and break down exactly what apps they were using and how. Maybe you didn't understand pricing strategy and left a lot of money on the table. Maybe you got stuck in the store mindset and not the brand mindset. Whatever it was, I would like to work with you and fix those problems.

All I need from you is your ability to pick out great niches and even better products.

End Goal:
By the end of this summer if I am personally not making over $50,000/month, then I will be extremely disappointed. I don't plan to get it all done from one store or one partner so I can't guarantee your income. I just know that I will hit my goal so you probably want to be apart of whatever I am doing ;)


Questions you might ask...

Do you just churn and burn stores?

Hell no! I'm trying to build real brands. As soon as we can, I will order all the products we sell myself and take professional pictures. If we need models, I live in the largest college city in the world and there is no shortage of beautiful people.

I'm a beginner, but I read all these guides and watched so many youtube videos. Can I work with you?
Nope! But take that momentum and start on your own. Maybe you can prove yourself useful, and who knows, you might not need me.

Why would anyone work with you when they can do it on their own?
Because 50% of something huge is better than 100% of something small. I am not afraid of sharing success, why are you?

Wow, you really think you can make $50,000/month by the end of summer? What a joke...
I guess we'll see who has the last laugh in a few months.

What if you don't find someone?
That's fine, I'll give it a few days and then probably hire some college kids for $20/hour

Remember, use your head, don't expect everything to be perfect and plan on working to be successful as almost no business opportunity just pours cash into your hands without some elbow grease.
 
I am potentially interested in a jv with you on this but there are a couple of obvious questions.

If you have been so succesful why do you need to hold down 2 fulltime jobs?

Could you elaborate when you say all you need from a partner is niche identification? Are you going to cover everything else including advertising/marketing costs?

It’s easy to elaborate on why I keep my jobs...

1. As a server in the summertime, I make a minimum of $300 a shift and sometimes as high as $700. I only work 4 shifts a week max so I’m able to have a pretty great income to invest in other things.

2. As a real estate agent I make anywhere between $2K and $20K a month with extremely minimal effort. And by minimal effort I mean just talking to people everyday out in the real world. I actually started working at the restaurant as a form of lead gen.

3. Because I’m in my 20s and I want nothing more than to grind it all out now so that I can enjoy life later. Because the truth is, I actually enjoy the 18 hour workdays.

Before working at the restaurant I had never had a boss my whole life. The whole point was to show me how much I hate working for other people and how much I hate taking people’s shit. That’s my fire and my motivation.



As for finances... Im totally fine paying for it all, but the split will reflect that. For an even split there needs to be even contribution.
 
Hey, I have experience with the Shopify platform (currently running a store that I built up to $666 in monthly recurring revenue in just 30 days with $0 in marketing costs. Yes, you read that right, $0 in marketing. I swear that's 100% true.

I've done a lot of advertising on FB Ad manager, Instagram, Twitter, Adwords, Traffic Junky, etc.

Finally, I'm in my 20's too loving the grind. The only reason I committed messaging you is that I think have similar character traits/personalities.

PM if you are interested in chatting more about this opportunity.

Yeah, My father did this his late 20's in 1995-1999, Working 2 jobs raising 3 kids and all on the side paving the road for SEO back in the day as one of the original dudes, who were doing shit like ghosting domain ownership and making millions off of PP (porn and pills) after perfecting seo, then traveling the country getting paid 50k to consult for a weekend to entire company teams because they wanted to know how to get traffic like my pops. But he didn't get there by sitting on his ass only trying to do one job. He was out there doing 2 full times (just like you) had 2 kids and a house to pay for and a crazy wife who made him lose his fortune. But still came out on top like a king after it all.
I bet you can do it man, It takes a shit ton of tedious work. But you got this easy.
 
Hmm I might be interested in this, shoot me a pm.

If you read my dropshipping thread you already know I possess some knowledge and I'm very good in building brands.
 
I m no one infront of those big guys who replied before me.

I love doing shopify and have great skill in drop shopping but every time i need to stop bcz of financial crisis
 
Hello! I would be very interested in joining you on this adventure. If you read my journey thread you can see that I learned a lot this past year. Especially about Ecomm and brand building.
The store I'm running now isn't going great that's why my revenue is dropping and I'm exploring options. (The niche is drying up)

My good points: Passionate asf, too much time on my hands, hard working if needed, problem solving, and a good understanding of dropshipping+product research

Bad points: I know how to use Facebook ads but never made more than 100 bucks/adset

What is it that you bring to the table? If you want someone that already makes 10k a month, he/she might as well just venture on his own. Im really curious what it is that you will do in this JV. Once thats clear maybe id be interested
