From therapy rooms to doggy playdates: Emma’s journey

So, let’s chat about Emma. Picture a life filled with textbooks, exams, and, honestly, a whole lot of pressure. Emma’s heart was all in, studying psychology, hoping to unravel the mysteries of our minds.

But even as she buried her head in heavy reads like Freud and Jung, a part of her always wandered off to her three furry BFFs – yep, her Golden Retrievers.

Being a student? Not so wallet-friendly. Emma found herself with a whopping $75K debt. Plus, she quickly figured out that kickstarting a career in psychology wasn’t a walk in the park.

Between the walls of my clinic, I yearned for open fields and a break. Not just from my profession but also from this daunting debt,” Emma says. 

And while she loved helping people with their feelings and all, there was this little voice inside, urging her to dream bigger, to chase something different.

When a messy car seat sparks a brilliant idea

Ever wondered how some people land on that one magic product to sell?

Often, it’s something that solves a real problem they’re facing.

Emma had a lightbulb moment that came from, well, muddy paw prints and fur everywhere. Every car ride with her lively retrievers turned her back seats into a messy canvas. She tried hunting down the perfect seat cover — popped into every store, scrolled through endless online sites. But nada. Everything was either too small or just couldn’t stand up to the antics of her big, playful goldens.

She thought, “Hey, if I’m struggling with this, there’s gotta be others out there feeling the same!”

And voila, she spotted a gap in the market: a sturdy car seat cover, perfect for bigger dog breeds, that’s both practical and long-lasting.

When it came to kickstarting her idea, Emma stumbled upon AliDropship.

What made it stand out?

It was super beginner-friendly. Everything about setting up an ecommerce business felt like a breeze. And that’s where she found Sellvia, with it’s product offering — the ideal dog car seat cover.

Big enough for larger dogs and made from solid materials, it was just what she (and probably loads of others) needed.

“Thanks to Sellvia, my little idea didn’t just stay a dream. I had my own online store up and running quicker than I ever thought possible,” Emma says, clearly stoked about the whole adventure.

The secret to clearing student debt

Emma’s secret sauce? Knowing her audience. And for her, it was all about the Golden Retrievers.

“For many of us, these dogs aren’t just four-legged buddies. They’re family. So, making sure they’re cozy during car rides (without turning the car into a fur festival) is a big deal,” she points out.

Wondering how goldens helped her wipe out that debt? Here’s the lowdown

Emma’s game plan was pretty straightforward. Every car seat cover she sold pocketed her a cool $200 in profit. The design? Well, it was a one-size-fits-most kinda deal, fitting perfectly into the majority of cars folks in the U.S. drive. And considering how much folks love their Golden Retrievers (especially in places like Tennessee), it wasn’t long before the orders started rolling in.

Trading muddy paws for money moves: Emma’s shining moment

Every business has that golden time of year. For Emma? It’s when the Tennessee skies pour down in May. As the rain danced and dogs dashed, the demand for her covers hit the roof.

You know the drill – muddy paws and soggy fur aren’t exactly a car’s best friends. Enter Emma’s rockstar seat covers, a godsend for every dog parent.

“That May was kinda wild with orders coming in non-stop,” Emma recalls, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Just in that month, Emma’s bank account swelled by a cool $8K. But here’s the kicker: with each month, the business just kept growing.

Fast forward 13 months, and there’s Emma, flipping through her records with a grin that could light up a room. $81K in sales, something she once daydreamed about, had become her day-to-day.
