Meet Alex Bennett
If you’ve ever wanted to start your own online business but felt like you had no time, no experience, and no idea where to begin… you’re not alone.
That’s exactly how Alex, a 20-year-old college student from Ohio, felt just a few months ago. Today, Alex makes between $1,000 and $1,500 a week.
The best part? It didn’t take over his life. He works on his store just a few hours a week and still has time to study, relax, and hang out with friends.
Alex’s life was already packed.
Classes, assignments, exams – plus a part-time job on weekends just to help pay for tuition, rent, and groceries.
One day, while scrolling social media, Alex saw other students running online stores. They were making extra money – some even more than part-time jobs paid. At first, it felt impossible.
Still, curiosity got the better of him. He started reading articles, watching videos, and learning more about how online stores actually work.
The biggest obstacle for beginners in ecommerce is often the setup – building a store, finding products, arranging shipping, and figuring out marketing can feel overwhelming.
That’s when he discovered Sellvia.
Alex learned about one of Sellvia’s most powerful features – a tool that lets you instantly launch your store on both TikTok and Instagram.
It’s basically a ready-made shop, fully set up for two of the biggest social media platforms in the world.
Here’s what Alex got with it:
- Pre-built Instagram & TikTok store – already designed, connected, and ready to sell
- Viral products – items that are already popular and creating a buzz online
- Professional promo videos & captions – so he could post instantly without making his own from scratch
This structure is made for social shopping – the kind of buying we all do when we see something cool in our feed and click “Buy Now” without overthinking.

From day one, Alex’s store started bringing in sales.
One of the most appealing parts of Alex’s story is how little time his store takes to manage.

That’s it. No warehouse, no packaging boxes, no long hours.
When Alex launched his store, he wasn’t sure what to expect. The first week brought in a handful of sales.
By the end of the first month, he was already making enough to cover groceries and bills.
Now, he averages $1,000-$1,500 a week.
Alex’s success isn’t a matter of luck – it’s the result of following a system designed to remove the biggest roadblocks beginners usually face. Instead of spending months figuring out products, building a website, or learning complicated logistics, he was able to jump straight into selling.
He also emphasizes that while starting young can be an advantage – simply because you often have fewer financial responsibilities and less to lose – age really doesn’t matter here. The process is so straightforward that even a complete beginner, with zero prior experience (just like him), can understand it and start making progress right away.

Alex’s story shows that you don’t need to wait for the perfect moment to start an online business. With the right platform and guidance, it’s possible to build a profitable dropshipping store even with a busy schedule.
All you need is the willingness to take that first step – just like Alex did.
