Starting a custom sock store in 5 days

In this 19-minute video, a successful ecomm entrepreneur challenges himself to create a new product – 🧦 with your 🐶’s face on them – and start selling it within 5 days…

Great insights into what it takes to build and market an online store in a saturated market.

My notes:

• Did it all from home.
• Started with research, most important step IMO, but don’t get too caught up in it.
• He utilized a whole bunch of different skills – market analysis, business planning and strategy, graphic design, web design, FB ads, email marketing, etc.
• He invested over $1000 in the store and only made about $60 by the end of the video. Actually not bad.

Those last two points help explain why I recommend starting with freelancing or remote work: less skills and capital required.
