Trevor Chapman turned $200 into $1 million in 92 days by selling random things from China online. From inflatable hangout bags to Kevlar pants to iPhone lenses, Chapman would sell things through Alibaba using Shopify and a process known as dropshipping.
"There came a point in time when I had to say, 'I'm in my mid-thirties, am I willing to wait until some of my kids are out of the house ... [to enjoy] my life to the extent I imagined I would?'" Chapman recalls.
His answer became the impetus to start his site LDSman.com. Within three months, Chapman went from putting in 12-hour days at his solar company to spending just an hour and a half each week on his site by the time he hit his first $1 million in sales.
He later sold the site and his other e-commerce ventures as part of a $10 million acquisition.
