Are you dreaming of financial independence for you and for your family? Many people do. And some, like Michael, decide to take action. Let’s meet this 32-year-old father of two and see what he did differently.

He’s a 32-year-old father of two who juggled life as a devoted husband and a hardworking electronics salesman. When his growing family’s needs started outpacing his steady but limited income, he began exploring new ways to earn extra cash without sacrificing precious time at home.

That’s how he discovered ecommerce with Sellvia. Drawn to the idea of selling tech gadgets online, Michael dove in. He quickly found himself with a fully stocked, turnkey online store, ready to fuel his family’s dreams. How so? Easier than ever before!

– Hi, Michael! Thanks for joining us today. Could you introduce yourself? What’s your daily life like?

Absolutely! I’m Michael, 32 years old. I live with my wife, Emily, and our two daughters, Lily and Ella. I’ve been working at an electronics store for the past five years. My responsibility is to help customers find the right gadgets.

When I’m not at work, I’m usually hanging out with my family. We love simple stuff like cooking together or going on little trips. I also make time for fitness because it helps me stay healthy and clears my head after a busy day.

– What made you want to find other sources of income?

Honestly, I just wanted more for my family, especially my two girls. My paycheck at the electronics store covered the basics, but it wasn’t enough for all the extras we wanted, like fun activities and family trips. I realized I couldn’t just rely on one income stream if I wanted a brighter future for us.

The lifestyle I wanted for my kids motivated me to explore new ways of making money. I started looking into things that would be easy to start. That’s when I found out about dropshipping. Everything just sort of fell into place after that.

– Why did dropshipping appeal to you over other business models?

I never heard about it before, but when I did, I got intrigued. I didn’t need any investments, and it was sort of like selling gadgets at my job.

Briefly, dropshipping is a business model allowing you not to keep the products you sell in stock. Instead, when you get an order, you redirect the customer information to the supplier (that can be done automatically), who ships it out on your behalf. The product practically bypasses your hands and goes straight to the final consumer. And you get the profit right away!

– How did you discover Sellvia? Are you happy with your partnership with Sellvia?

I stumbled upon Sellvia while researching “dropshipping with no investment” on Google. You were offering a turnkey online store packed with products. I signed up, and within a minute, everything was ready to go. I was blown away by how fast and easy it was.

Best part? I didn’t spend a dime. I have zero web development skills, but that didn’t matter because you handled it all. I never knew it could be that easy! I am really glad I found out about you guys.

– What were the first steps you took after signing up with Sellvia?

First, I poked around my new store to see how it looked. I changed a few colors and images to give it a tech vibe; nothing huge. Then I just shared the store link on social media and sent it to friends for fun. They trusted me enough to check it out, so those first sales came pretty fast.

My wife, Emily, also spread the word in her online mom groups. The store was already loaded with popular tech products, so people started buying right away.

– How were the products? What turned out to be your best-seller?

I got my store with a pre-installed product package from Sellvia. All the products were cherry-picked by your team, and are actually great (talking from professional experience). My top-seller so far is a wireless vacuum cleaner.

It’s got a great brush for pet hair, making it a must-have for houses with pets. I shot a couple of short videos showing how I used it to clean out my car and tackle some tricky spots around the house.

Customers loved seeing the product in action rather than just in a simple photo. Maybe that’s why they ended up buying from me. Before I knew it, orders started coming in, and last month alone I made around $12,000 in sales, which is a lot more than I ever expected!

– How do you manage your time? Have there been any difficulties?

Honestly, not really. I come home, have dinner, do my usual family stuff, then spend maybe an hour on my store. I check messages, track orders, and schedule social media posts. It’s not stressful at all, and on weekends I have even more free time.

– How do you feel now that you’re a businessman?

I’ve shipped products to people all over the country, and it still surprises me how I didn’t need any special skills or upfront investment to make it happen. It’s mind-blowing how easy it is nowadays to start a business.

– Did you ever feel like giving up? 

Not really. Sure, I had those moments when I got home after a long shift and saw a ton of customer questions waiting. But why quit? I got a fully set up business without spending anything. Being frustrated sometimes is normal, but it’s not a good enough reason to stop.

– Can you share a memorable experience or feedback that motivated you?

Good reviews keep me going as much as my family does. I love receiving good reviews of my products. Those are simple items, but they make other people’s lives much simpler. That’s what makes me excited. For me, it’s not just about profits. It’s also about making people happier.

– How has your life changed since launching your online store?

In so many positive ways. My paycheck at the electronics store used to be our only safety net. Now, my side hustle gives us that extra cushion. We can afford dance lessons for Lily and art classes for Ella without stress. We’re also saving up to buy a bigger house next year. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

– What’s your daily routine like as a business owner?

I still do my 9-to-5. During breaks, I check my phone for new orders or messages. Nothing major. After work, I spend about an hour on my store, answering customer questions or tweaking the site if needed. Meanwhile, Sellvia handles the tough stuff like shipping and fulfillment. I’m just here to keep an eye on everything.

– What advice would you give to someone who’s considering starting an online business?

Two things. First, just start. Don’t overthink it, or you’ll stay stuck. Second, partner up with a platform like Sellvia that makes everything easy. It’s quick and free. So why not give it a try?
