About me

From $20 to building e‑commerce businesses

March 12, 2023. Two friends and I put in about $20 and started dropshipping. None of us knew what we were doing.

ResellingfailedTradingfailedBook clubfailed

Before that, I'd tried all of those and none of them worked. So I made myself a deal: give dropshipping a real shot, and if this failed too, I was done with business.

There were no AI tools to lean on back then. We researched products by hand, built everything by hand and made the content by hand. Looking back, it was slow, and it taught me how every piece actually works.

$34.76First sale, May 19, 2023 at 12:00 AM. A pet product.

It wasn't much money. It was proof that the thing could work. From there the stores grew. I hit $10K while I was still in college, and I graduated while the business kept going. Today that adds up to over $8M in cumulative revenue across 3 stores and a brand.

I started DaviEcom in August 2025 because I've always wanted to teach. I know how hard it is to start with little knowledge, and I'd like to save you a few of the mistakes I made.

Since then I've mentored 100+ students globally. Some went for the course, and most went straight into the mentorship.

How DaviEcom works

Six steps. One framework.

Every decision in a store sits somewhere in this loop. We work through it together, and we keep going around it.

RESEARCH → BUILD → LAUNCH → ANALYZE → OPTIMIZE → SCALE
01

Research

  • Product research
  • Market research
  • Competition
  • Margins
  • Demand
  • Validation
02

Build

  • Shopify store
  • Product page
  • Offer
  • Positioning
  • Conversion structure
03

Launch

  • Creative
  • Testing
  • Audience
  • Campaign structure
04

Analyze

  • CTR
  • CPM
  • CPC
  • ATC
  • CPA
  • ROAS
  • Conversion rate

The point isn't collecting numbers. It's understanding what they're telling you.

05

Optimize

  • Creative
  • Offer
  • Landing page
  • Product page
  • Campaign structure
  • Messaging
06

Scale

Scale what the data supports, and keep testing. Scaling is never guaranteed, and I won't pretend otherwise.

What makes it different

You're not buying another video library.

You're not handed a pile of videos and left alone. You have someone who can look at your situation and help you figure out what to do next.

Private 1-on-1 mentorship

Depending on your plan, you get private coaching calls with me.

Direct communication

Standard and Premium students get direct WhatsApp and Telegram access to me.

Real feedback

Store reviews, product guidance, advertising analysis and support with the decisions in front of you.

Accountability

Clarity on what to focus on next, so you're not guessing what matters this week.

Blueprints & resources

PDF resources and Shopify store-building tutorials you can come back to.

Human connection

We take the business seriously, but it doesn't have to feel robotic. Expect conversation, jokes and the occasional game.

How I think

A few things I want you to unlearn

These aren't laws. They're patterns I've seen play out, and they shape how I mentor.

Myth

"Every product is a winner."

Reality

A product can look promising and still fail because of positioning, creative, offer, audience, competition, economics or execution.

Myth

"If you run ads, you'll automatically make sales."

Reality

Traffic doesn't fix a weak product, offer, store or creative.

Myth

"You don't need capital to start dropshipping."

Reality

Organic approaches can reduce the need for advertising capital, but paid advertising requires a realistic testing budget.

What I teach is how to think about money in a store, not just where to click.

  • What to invest in
  • When to invest
  • Where to invest
  • Why you're investing
Expert network

Some problems need a specialist.

Behind DaviEcom is a wider network of people who do specific jobs for a living. When a store needs deeper expertise, it can be drawn on.

This isn't unlimited access for every student. It's the broader expertise that sits behind DaviEcom, including the existing done-for-you side.

One thing you should know

There's no guaranteed revenue number in e-commerce. What I can give you is guidance, feedback, analysis and a clearer framework for making better decisions.

All of these shape the result, and some of them are outside anyone's control. You still have to do the work. My job is to help you do it with more clarity and fewer expensive guesses.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee sales in e-commerce. Results depend on execution, product, market, budget, creative, offer, store, advertising, consistency and decisions, and some of that is outside anyone's control. What you get is guidance, feedback, analysis and a clearer framework for making decisions.

No. DaviEcom is built for complete beginners as well as people who have already started. Every plan includes Shopify store-building tutorials, and you can ask for feedback as you go.

Organic approaches can reduce the need for advertising capital, but paid advertising needs a realistic testing budget. How much depends on your product, market and plan, and we talk about it based on your situation.

No. DaviEcom is mentorship: you build your store, with tutorials, reviews and feedback from me. If you'd rather have specialists do the work, there's a separate done-for-you side at dfy.daviecom.pro.

No. You run your own ads. On the 6-Month Standard and Premium plans I give ad and campaign analysis guidance, so you understand what the numbers are telling you and what to change.

3-Month plans: Basic $450, Standard $650, Premium $950. 6-Month plans: Basic $1,050, Standard $1,550, Premium $2,050. The pricing page shows exactly what each plan includes.

Standard and Premium plans include direct WhatsApp and Telegram support. The Basic plans don't.

Private 1-on-1 calls are part of the 6-month plans: Basic has 2 per week (about 30 minutes each), Standard has 3 per week (about 45 minutes) and Premium has 3 per week (60+ minutes). The 3-month plans don't include scheduled calls. We'll work out call times together.

Let me know as early as you can. The exact rescheduling terms are confirmed directly with me before you join, so you're not left guessing.

Live time with me. The 3-month plans are guidance-led, with resources, tutorials, accountability and support that grows by plan, but no scheduled calls. The 6-month plans add private 1-on-1 calls every week.

Your plan runs for the length you chose, 3 or 6 months. If you want to keep going or change level, talk to me and we'll work out what makes sense.

Ask me. Upgrades are something we can discuss directly, and I'd rather match you to the right level than have you stay on one that isn't working.

Complete beginners, people who started and struggled, store owners already testing, and entrepreneurs who want direct feedback, as long as you're willing to learn and execute. It isn't for people looking for guaranteed money or a magic winning product.

No. You can pick a plan on the pricing page and message me on WhatsApp or Telegram. If you're not sure which one fits, apply first and we'll figure it out together.
