6 Ecommerce Reselling Business Success Stories [2023]
An eCommerce reseller purchases services or goods for resale rather than consumption. Becoming an eCommerce reseller is a great way to launch an online business without worrying about production costs.
To start an eCommerce reseller business, you do not need a website immediately! You can focus on a social media-based reseller business and create a website later as your business grows.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a ecommerce reselling business:
1. Dropout SRL ($1.68M/year)
Kola Tytler (from Milano, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy) started Dropout SRL over 4 years ago.
In the second part of the year, we will increase our focus in providing our vast traffic (over 500 thousand unique visitors have landed to dropoutmilano.com between December 2021 and February 2022) with dropout branded products to suit the taste of streetwear wearers.
2. BitsForDigits ($72K/year)
Laurits Just & Jan-Philipp Peters (from Berlin, Germany) started BitsForDigits over 1 year ago.
Hey guys! We are Laurits Just and Jan-Philipp Peters, the founders of BitsForDigits, an acquisition marketplace for internet startups and online businesses with $100K+ annual revenue. Our platform makes it anonymous and free for owners to exit their business fully or partially.
So far, we have completely bootstrapped the venture and currently make $6,000 / month with steady growth in the number of new signups. Our biggest initial driver of growth was our launch on Product Hunt, adding more than 300 users to our platform which we could later monetize.
