070: The Story Behind Two Successful (But Very Different) Online Businesses with Steve Chou from MyWifeQuitHerJob.com

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
