Beyond Selling: Transforming Shopify Stores Into Passive Income Streams With Seijin Jung Of OpenStore

Show Notes

On today's episode of the Shopify Ecommerce Podcast, I enjoyed chatting with Seijin Jung from OpenStore.

Seijin is responsible for marketing more than 40 DTC Shopify brands. He shares critical insights gained over a decade in tech and consumer marketing from Udemy, Facebook, and AngelList.

OpenStore aims to create new opportunities for Shopify founders by providing the fastest and easiest way to sell their businesses. The company recently launched an offering called OpenStore Drive - a service that lets Shopify store owners turn their stores into passive income. OpenStore Drive provides a flexible alternative for founders who may want to step back from running their store but aren’t quite ready to sell it yet.

Tune in to discover how Seijin and his team of e-commerce experts successfully run the largest number of Shopify brands in the world.
