Congratulations! You’ve decided to join the thrilling world of ecommerce, where your dreams of passive income collide spectacularly with the reality of customer service emails at 2 AM asking why their package of artisanal dog bandanas hasn’t arrived yet.
But here’s the thing: you’re going to need help. Lots of it. The kind of help that explains why your Facebook ads are burning through cash faster than a teenager with their first credit card, and why your conversion rate is lower than your motivation on a Monday morning.
The good news? The ecommerce podcast space is packed with people who’ve actually figured this stuff out, folks who’ve scaled from zero to seven figures, survived the great iOS 14 ad apocalypse, and lived to tell the tale. They’ve made every mistake in the book (and then written that book, and sold it on Amazon, naturally), and now they’re here to save you from doing the same.
So whether you’re dropshipping fidget spinners from your parents’ basement, building the next Shopify empire, or just trying to figure out what the heck “LTV:CAC ratio” means, these podcasts will keep you company on your journey from “I have a great idea!” to “Why is inventory management so complicated?” to, hopefully, “Wait, this is actually working?”
Ok, let’s have a look at the podcasts that might just keep you from becoming another ecommerce cautionary tale:
