How it works

Three answers. One clear path forward.

No fluff, no generic advice. The plan is built around your specific situation so you always know what to do this week.

01

Pick your model

Tell us if you're doing dropshipping, print on demand, digital products, or wholesale. Each path gets its own plan.

02

Set your budget and time

Choose what you can invest and how many hours you have per week. The plan adjusts costs and pace to match.

03

Get your roadmap

Receive an 8 week plan with detailed actions, recommended tools, and weekly time and cost estimates.

Built for every model

A different plan for every kind of store.

We don't hand you a generic checklist. Each business model has its own 8 week sequence with the right tools, the right tasks, and the right order to do them in.

Choose your path

Dropshipping

Sell products without holding inventory. Perfect for testing markets fast.

Print on Demand

Sell custom designs printed per order. Great for creative founders.

Digital Products

Sell ebooks, templates, or courses. High margin, infinite inventory.

Wholesale or Private Label

Source or manufacture your own products with real brand equity.

A peek inside

Real tasks. Real timelines. Real costs.

No vague advice like "build your brand." You'll get specific tasks like "import 15 products with optimized titles" and "run a $10/day Meta test campaign."

Questions

Everything you might want to know.

Is this really free?+

Yes. The planner is completely free to use. We may earn a small affiliate commission if you start a Shopify trial through our link, at no cost to you.

Do I need to sign up?+

No account required. Your plan and progress save in your browser, so you can close the tab and come back later.

What if I have less than 5 hours a week?+

The plan automatically stretches. We'll add a note that your 8 week plan may take 12 to 14 weeks, which is completely normal for side projects.

Can I print or save a PDF?+

Yes. There's a print button on the plan that produces a clean, distraction free PDF without the configuration panel or marketing.

What if my budget is under $300?+

The plan emphasizes free tools, free themes, and minimal ad spend so you can launch on a true bootstrapper budget.
