From Corporate Job To $1M In Twelve Months
- Jayden started high-ticket dropshipping while keeping a stable corporate job and built the site and suppliers in ~60 days.
- Within 12 months he reached about $1M revenue and 15% net margin, then went full-time.
Exit To A Fund For Operational Scale
- Jayden sold the business to a private wealth fund for about a 3.7x multiple, receiving roughly $700K.
- He stayed on in a consultancy role to hand over marketing while the buyer provided operations teams.
Three-Tier Paid Ads Funnel
- Use a three-tier paid ads funnel: be uncompetitive top-funnel, moderate mid-funnel, and hyper-competitive bottom-funnel.
- Push long-tail, high-intent queries into bottom campaigns with negative keyword lists to protect ROAS.
