When COVID-19 made everyone stay home, I started using my phone a lot more. After getting bored of scrolling my Instagram feed, I decided to download and use only productivity apps, and this is how I built a business with my iPhone.

Shopify app to build the online store

I began by getting the Shopify app on my phone. It was really easy to use, and in just two days, my shop was open for business.

Canva app for content

I started creating my brand with the Canva app. Canva made it easy to bring my visual content to life. I used Canva to create Logo, Banners, Social Media Posts and to edit Product Images.

Instagram and Facebook apps for advertising

I started posting product images taken from the suppliers and edited using Canva on Instagram and Facebook. I used «boost post» to run ads.

Oberlo app for product suppliers

Choosing the best suppliers was very important. I used the Oberlo app to find suppliers dropshipping electric scooters in Europe and connected it to my Shopify store.

The Result

My first ten sales happened just using apps on my iPhone. Lushtech’s story even made it onto the Italian national news!

This experience taught me that with the right vision, anyone can turn screen time into a business!

Lessons Learned

Dropshipping is hard. Especially during covid 19 shipping products from China took months. Our customers were not happy about it and we had to shut down operations. Nevertheless, it was a really fun journey!

I hope you enjoyed reading this article!
