#147 Steve Appleton From Really Good E-Bikes: How To Start A High Ticket Dropshipping Business

28 minutes

Hey Budai Nation,

Welcome back to The Ecom Show! Our guest for today is Steve Appleton, the founder of Really Good E-Bikes. Steve is a living example of how great business ideas can come at any age. Steve left his full-time job in real estate development, and ventured into entrepreneurship in his mid 50’s by starting his very own dropshipping business selling e-bikes!

Most of our guests on The Ecom Show sell daily consumer products. However, Steve’s business is unique. Steve is in the high-ticket product niche of the e-commerce world as his average order value is over $1500! His business model and approach to e-commerce is very different as his focus is not on volume but rather the value of each sale. Watch this episode to learn more about the nuances of running a high-ticket dropshipping business.

Before we get started, here’s a quick introduction of us for all the new listeners!
