070: The Story Behind Two Successful (But Very Different) Online Businesses with Steve Chou from MyWifeQuitHerJob.com - a podcast by Bjork Ostrom

:: ::

Welcome to episode 70 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week, Bjork chats with Steve Chou from MyWifeQuitHerJob.com about building two eCommerce businesses - one that sells physical products, and the other that sells digital products.

--

 

Steve’s wife Jennifer decided to quit her job in 2007, and within one year replaced her six-figure income with an eCommerce business selling physical products. Steve started blogging about how she did it and later quit his job - fully replacing his salary - with an eCommerce business selling digital products.

These two businesses had one thing in common: they were eCommerce businesses. Everything else, from the customer acquisition to the time it took to generate a decent income, varied widely. However, Steve and his wife have learned a lot over the last few years running their two eCommerce businesses, and today Steve is here to share some of his knowledge with us.

In this episode, Steve shares:

  • What two businesses he and his wife run
  • Why one business wasn’t as profitable as the other in the beginning
  • How to find what products to sell
  • What it’s like working with vendors in foreign countries
  • Whether he would recommend selling physical or digital products
  • What the best way is to sell your first physical product
  • What FBA is and why you might use it
  • Why they stopped selling on eBay
  • How he markets their digital and physical products
