Sell one tested product you never handle yourself
A single-product store where the supplier ships direct and paid traffic is the test. No stock, no warehouse — the money goes out through the ad account instead, days or weeks before any of it comes back. The slowest-paying start on the list once payout delays and the refund window are counted.
$300-1,500
$1,000-4,000/mo before ad spend
Top of range — not a guarantee
Holding no stock is not the profit — it is permission to test one product with money instead of inventory.
Not buying inventory does not remove the risk, it moves it: the cash still leaves first, through advertising rather than a pallet. That is why cost per order is the number that decides whether a store continues, and why every refund and chargeback lands on the seller — the supplier is not in that conversation.
