Hey guys, my name is Craig. I'm 23 years old and from North London in the UK.
I have been a full time e-commerce entrepreneur for over 6 years. I currently am based in Manchester, UK but travel frequently to my second home Dubai.
At the age of 18 I decided to leave my 9-5 and go full time into entrepreneurship. Working a typical job never gave me the freedom or money to live life the way I wanted to. Ever since I did I have been able to help family and friends and travel all over the world.
How did I get into Ecom? I originally started with Shopify dropshipping and focused on selling home decor and giftable products using Facebook and Instagram ads for promotion.
I did very well in this niche and then decided to use my skills to focus on creating longer term brands, many of which I still run to this day. These brands are using a hybrid shipping model (dropshipping & bulk stock). One of these brands is called My Liquorice which has done over £1,500,000 to date.
For the past 3 years I have been focusing on Etsy dropshipping. I currently run over 15 multi 6 and 7 figure Etsy dropshipping stores. These vary in niche but the main focus is on home decor, womens clothing, varied gifting products and jewellery.
From starting with Shopify dropshipping I was able to learn the ins and outs of the ecommerce world. 3 years ago when I was dropshipping home goods I decided to list a few products on Etsy.
These products instantly took off and I generated over £56,000 in my first 90 days (this was with no paid advertising and only 5 products listed)
From this point onwards I decided to put more effort into Etsy dropshipping and I have since generated over £4,000,000 on the platform.
I have built out a large team to manage my Etsy stores including roles for listings, product research and customer service. This has enabled me to create a largley passive income stream using Etsy dropshipping.
I have tried every other dropshipping and ecommerce platform. This includes Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Tiktok Shop and a few others.
There are pros and cons to every platform but by far the easiest platform & strategy to actually get working is Etsy dropshipping.
This is due to the competiton on the platform. On average an Etsy seller only spends 2 hours per month on their store. The far majoirty of Etsy sellers lack the motivation and knowledge to create a profitable store. This mentality of current sellers mixed with the ease of use of the platform makes it a winner for anyone even if they have 0 past experiance selling things online.
With the systems I have created inside of Etsy Kings its truly possible for ANYONE to make money with Etsy dropshipping.
Although Etsy Kings was only started 2 years ago I have been teaching others ecommerce and dropshipping for over 5 years. Ever since I first saw success I have wanted to tell people my knowledge so they can escape from the corrupt & draining system most people call a job.
I take my role as a teacher incredibly serious and I genuinely enjoy it. Many of my students have ended up partnering with myself or working directly for me.
