From Military to E-Commerce: A Kibo Code Student’s Journey by Making $34,318 in Sales

After serving in the military and working various jobs, a married father of two decided to pursue his dream of starting an online sales business. He opened an eBay store in March of 2020 but found the competition too fierce to make significant profits. He then came across the Kibo Code, which provided him with a free store and showed him how to select winning products, set up his store, and drive traffic. Although time management was a roadblock, hiring a VA and following the program exactly as taught helped him succeed. His advice for building an e-commerce business includes figuring out your “why,” following the program, getting a VA, finding your own path to success, and working on one business model until you nail it. His goals for 2022 include hiring another VA, growing his Shopify store, launching products under his own brand name, and eventually quitting his day job to live the life he wants.
