$0 to $100K a day in 5 days: how he scaled his ecom store
About this episode
Anthony, known online as Ant, runs Rippy Club, one of the biggest dropshipping Discords, plus a supplement brand with subscriptions. He is 23 and puts his lifetime ecom revenue somewhere between 7 and 8 million dollars. His best day was $100,000, on the fifth day of running the store.
Sam and Ant cover how he spots products on TikTok before anyone else is dropshipping them, how he runs TikTok ads compared with Meta, the offers and price points that convert, the supplier and chargeback lessons from his first winner, and why he keeps one store template and only swaps the product.
Key takeaways
- Search the product on TikTok. If the search grid is flooded with recent videos that get good engagement and nobody is dropshipping it yet, he treats it as close to a guaranteed winner.
- Run TikTok wide and tall. He launches 3 to 5 campaigns at $50 each on day one, launches fresh ones every day and bumps budgets through the day, while on Meta he starts one $100 CBO and leaves it alone.
- Keep the front-end price low. Most of his fast-scaling products sell at $30 or less with $9 to $17 shipping, plus a bundle discount or free shipping when they buy two or more.
- Get photos and videos before you ship. His first winner, a shapewear swimsuit, arrived see-through and two sizes too big, so now he never ships until the supplier sends images and video of the real product.
- Build the store once. He duplicates one product page template and fills it with a ChatGPT prompt, building a full page in about eight minutes so testing stays a volume game.
