How much cash do you need to get started with MRR?
Probably more than you think:
- $200 for an LLC
- $2kmin balance in the business bank account (so you are more likely to get approved for MIDs)
- Or $3k - $5k for an llc in someone else’s name, to which you also wire in atleast 2k ideally
That’s $2.2k or $5 -$7k already and you’ve barely started.
Now you need MID, so you need to make an MRR website to submit to the payment processor for a MID.
If you do it yourself you need to figure out how to make the website, what it needs, don’t fuck it up, or you can pay someone to do it but good luck with that because it’s quite niche.
Now you need to find a payment processor who will take you, and unless you’ve got good connections already you’re just spam submitting payment processors you find on the internet, most will prob reject you because you have no processing history.
After you get a MID, you need a CRM, whether it’s checkout champs, sticky, phx, paysight, or your own integration.
Once your MID is integrated, now you can run traffic to it.
But unless your winning offer hit rate is insane, you’re going to burn through some money before you find a winning offer
You’ll need maybe $5-$10k for that, ideally more, a lot more tbh.
Everything beyond that is a black box, you’ve got subs coming in, but you probably don’t have alerts set up properly, probably horrible customer support, bad fraud filters, a non-optimized set up.
You also have to take that learning into account, on your own you’ll probably blow everything up a few times making a bunch of mistakes.
Then say you find your feet and you’re doing ok on 1 LLC.
Getting to a few million permonth requires a proper operation that you don’t know how to build.
So, how much cash do you need?
It’s not just about cash, it’s also about prior experience.
You should have $1m in normal dropshipping experienxe, or info, or aff at the VERY LEAST.
You should know how to media buy, build out landing pages, upsells, cro, creatives, some good back end technical skills
And atleast $20k cash, ATLEAST, lol.
If you don’t have $20k and $1m in normal offer experience, you shouldn’t bother with MRR because you’ll just get eaten alive.
Things can get expensive fast, and if you don’t have the bank to pay the dues, your whole operation will die very quickly.
It’s really not for everyone tbh, you gotta weigh up whether it’s worth it to you
