“It’s Not That Easy”? Sam Launched Overnight to Prove It Is | Ep. #175
Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.com.
I sat down with Sam Thompson for part 2 of our two-part episode, if you haven’t listened to the first one yet, go check out Ep. #172.
In this one, Sam breaks down how a Twitter reply turned into a real hummingbird nectar business doing over $5K in its first 21 days. We talked through his process from idea to Shopify store, how he branded literal sugar, used AI tools to create ads, and scaled it with Meta campaigns. He built everything using tools like ChatGPT, a $20 heat sealer, and SoloDrop, which let him launch the store overnight. We also riffed on smart seasonal products, digital upsells, and brainstormed low-lift business ideas anyone could start using Supliful, Canva, and other very simple tools. If you’re still waiting to “start,” this one proves you really don’t need much.
