You Made $100K... But Stan Store Made Millions

“I’m just getting started.”

“It’s only $29.”

“$99/month isn’t that bad.”

“At least they don’t take a percentage like Amazon.”

Yeah… you told yourself that.

But guess what?

Stan Store was just getting started too.

They launched in 2020 with zero followers, zero sales, and zero brand trust — just like you.

But here’s the difference:

📈 Stan in 3–5 Years:

• 2022: $1.7 million revenue

• 2023: $14.7 million revenue

• 2024: $28–30 million revenue

• 2025: $30M+ annual recurring revenue (ARR) and growing fast

You in 3 Years:

• Still chasing $5K–$10K/month

• Still calling $99/month a “small investment”

• Still selling under someone else’s name and domain

Let that sink in.

🤯 “Yeah but they’re a bigger company…”

Really?

Stan Store started from zero too.

They didn’t go viral magically — they

got YOU to do the work.

You posted your success.

You promoted your sales.

You celebrated your wins publicly.

And Stan turned all of that into marketing content.

You became their best salesperson… for free.

🧠 The Trap Was Set With One Line:

“It’s just $29–$99 a month.”

And right there, they got you.

While you were chasing your next $10K month, they were chasing monthly subscribers at scale.

You're trying to get $20K/month.

They're trying to get 100,000 people to pay $99/month.

That’s $9.9 million/month.

Over $118 million/year — with no inventory, no fulfillment, and no customer service team.

🛑 STOP. Let’s Read That Again.

They make over $118 million a year... with no inventory, no fulfillment, and no customer service team.

Meanwhile, you are:

• Creating the product

• Doing the marketing

• Answering the DMs

• Delivering the service

• Handling refunds

• Managing clients

• Working 10x harder

All while telling yourself:

“Well, it only costs me $99/month…”

Let that sink in.

You’re doing all the work — and they’re collecting all the value.That’s not partnership. That’s leverage.

Because the truth is:

They’re leveraging YOU… instead of YOU leveraging your own business.

You're the engine. You're the driver. But they own the road.

🧾 Let’s Break Down the Numbers

Stan Store Plan	Monthly Cost	Annual Cost	3-Year Cost
Basic	$29	$348	$1,044
Pro	$99	$1,188	$3,564

What are you actually getting?

• You're selling on their domain

• Promoting their brand

• Relying on their platform

• Owning none of the backend

• Building no real marketing equity

Every time someone wants to buy from you, they type:

stan.store/yourname

Not your website.

Not your brand.

Not your legacy.

🔒 “But I Can Export My Customer Contacts…”

Sure. But let’s be real:

You have a spreadsheet.

They have:

• Purchase history

• Click tracking

• Behavior data

• Retargeting capability

• Funnel logic

• Platform dependency

Even your receipts have Stan’s metadata on them.

You’re not in control — they are.

🏦 Example: Why Customer Data = Money

(And Why Stan’s Business Is Worth More Than Yours)

Let’s break it down.

When a business is being valued, no one asks:

• “How many TikToks did you post?”

• “How many plaques do you have?”

• “How many products are in your Stan Store?”

They ask one thing:

“How many customers do you have?”

Because customer data = company value.

💰 Real-World Example:

Two businesses each make $100K/year:

• Business A has 500 customers, but only receipts and a CSV export.

• Business B has the same 500 customers with purchase behavior, email flows, retargeting data, and a proprietary funnel.

Business B will sell for 5–10x more.

Because they own the data, and the data holds the value.

Stan knows this.

That’s why they don’t give it away.

You?

You think your spreadsheet is ownership.

It’s not. It’s an illusion.

🎯 Hit $100K in Sales? You’re a Billboard Now.

You hit $100K in sales — and Stan sent you a plaque.

Great job.

But let’s talk about what really happened:

• You posted it

• You promoted it

• You tagged Stan

• You shouted, “I hit $100K with Stan!”

And now?

Your business is more associated with Stan Store than your own name.

You’re a walking advertisement — and nobody knows your company name.

Ask yourself:

• Can anyone Google your business and find you?

• Or do they only see a Stan link in your bio?

📉 What You’ve Really Lost

• 3 years of SEO

• 3 years of brand building

• 3 years of email growth under your domain

• 3 years of traffic and analytics

• 3 years of business ownership

You’re not building a business — you’re renting one.

🛑 So… Who’s Really Winning?

Stan isn’t trying to help you get rich.

They’re helping themselves become recurring revenue royalty.

You’re chasing $20K months.

They’re chasing 100,000 creators paying $99/month.

You’re celebrating a $100K milestone once.

They’re collecting $100K every single day.

So Dewayne, What’s the Solution?

YOU NEED YOUR OWN BRAND.

Your own website.

Your own platform.

Your own identity — one that you control from start to finish.

Look, I know I’ve mentioned this before…

But I wouldn’t be honest with myself — or with you — if I stood on the sidelines, watched you win, and didn’t encourage you to see the bigger picture.

I’m genuinely so proud of your success.

Hitting $100K is HUGE.

But I’d hate to see you stop at $100K…

when you were capable of hitting $1 million —

all because you didn’t own the structure behind your success.

Let’s fix that.

Because your brand deserves more than rented space.

It deserves a legacy.
