CREATE YOUR DREAM LIFE.
Gretta’s been living the dream. She can literally work from anywhere in the world, and enjoys mixing leisure with sourcing new products.
SIMPLE, ACTIONABLE, & PROVEN STRATEGIES FOR CREATING A PROFITABLE ONLINE STORE
- FIND YOUR PERFECT PRODUCT IDEA FROM THE START.
- BUILD A REAL BRAND THAT YOU COULD SELL IN THE FUTURE.
- SCALE QUICKLY FROM YOUR FIRST SALE TO YOUR FIRST SIX-FIGURES
- SIMPLIFY THE ECOMMERCE PROCESS WITH A STEP-BY-STEP BLUEPRINT.
- ESCAPE THE 9-5 AND LIVE A LIFE OF FREEDOM, CONTROL, & ABUNDANCE.
- Watches, teas, bottles, face masks, etc. Gretta’s “P.S.S.P. Framework” is a repeatable framework for all kinds of product ideas no matter how crowded or competitive the niche is. It even landed her on Oprah’s favorite things! (Module 1 Lesson 2)
- Why you don’t need any marketing experience whatsoever and can instead follow Gretta’s easy-to-use “Marketing Stack” with all her checklists, recommended apps, and step-by-step instructions for selling online. (Module 7 Lesson 6)
- The fastest way Gretta has discovered to get your first sale. It’s how she went from first-time entrepreneur to making $600k/mo in six months. (Module 1 Lesson 9)
- No audience? No problem. This is Gretta’s most powerful tool for quickly creating an audience from scratch who actually buy what you sell. It’s how she did $100k in sales on her very first day of launch with 5th Watches! (Module 5 Lesson 11)
- Avoid all the most common and costly mistakes! Just one of these cost Gretta $1.3 million to learn the hard way. So she’s already “paid the price” so you don’t have to. (Module 4 Lesson 3)
- Already have a product and want to scale faster? Use Gretta’s #1 scaling strategy which quickly added tens of thousands in “extra sales” per month with almost zero extra work. (Module 8 Lesson 3)
- Use Gretta’s “Minimum Viable Brand” method for standing out and intentionally creating “top of mind” positioning for your brand. It’s why her first company SkinnyMe Tea owned the phrase “teatox” instead of detox. (Module 2 Lesson 2)

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SELL…
UTILIZING AI TO BRING YOUR ECOMMERCE DREAMS TO LIFE…
1. START & SCALE 3.0 EMPOWERS YOU WITH THE POWER OF AI TO UNCOVER A PRODUCT IDEA THAT SELLS LIKE CRAZY!
Watches, teas, bottles, face masks, etc. Gretta’s “P.S.S.P. Framework” is a repeatable framework for all kinds of product ideas no matter how crowded or competitive the niche is.
Dog Shampoo
Icelandic Fish Leather
Australian SPF Sunscreen
Adjustable Baby Rompers
Sea Cucumber Collagen
A Sustainable Nut Milk Machine
These are all wildly different and wildly successful products which used Gretta’s framework. It works with all kinds of products, industries, and niches.
2. YOU DON’T NEED ANY MARKETING EXPERIENCE TO SUCCEED!
This isn’t about dropshipping and you don’t need to use Facebook ads. Gretta walks you through the entire ecommerce process from start-to-finish. While you don’t need to know a thing about online marketing, you do need to take action.
IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING PRODUCT OR STORE ALREADY…
Not only will Gretta’s advice in the course help you leverage influencers, sell more product, and scale your store faster than going at it on your own…
But in today’s competitive landscape…
Every brand needs to be constantly creating new and innovative product ideas!
In Gretta’s words “Brands cannot stop at a single product. It’s one of the easiest ways to grow an existing store.”
HOW MUCH TIME WILL THIS TAKE?
We’ve seen people working full time jobs who use Start & Scale to build new brands from scratch and make thousands on their very first day of launch in 12 weeks or less…
1 HOUR A DAY
By investing just 1 hour a day.
That’s Gretta’s advice as well. If you’re working full time, schedule just one hour a day to building your new business. Make this your own “Start & Scale Power Hour”.
In one hour you can watch a couple lessons and take action. Then day after day, your business takes shape. You come up with your idea. The branding. Logo. Instagram. And even get your first sale!
This is more than enough to get you to launch. Then once you’re making sales, you can decide to go full-time or hire help. But start with just an hour a day.

Frequently asked questions
What is Start & Scale 3.0?
Start & Scale 3.0 is a comprehensive e-commerce training program developed by Gretta Van Riel, designed to help entrepreneurs transform any idea into a successful 7-figure brand. This latest version is enhanced with AI tools, including ChatGPT and Midjourney, to facilitate faster, more cost-effective, and easier e-commerce success.
Who is Gretta Van Riel?
Gretta Van Riel is a renowned entrepreneur and e-commerce expert, recognized for creating multiple successful online businesses. She has developed the Start & Scale framework, which has already helped over 25,000 students achieve e-commerce success.
How much time do I need to dedicate to Start & Scale 3.0?
You can progress by dedicating just one hour a day. This is sufficient to watch lessons, take action, and shape your business progressively.
How does AI integration benefit the Start & Scale 3.0 program?
AI integration in Start & Scale 3.0 utilizes advanced tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney to streamline various e-commerce processes. This includes market analysis, customer service automation, personalized marketing strategies, and product development insights, making the journey to e-commerce success more efficient and data-driven.
Is Start & Scale 3.0 suitable for beginners in e-commerce?
Absolutely! The program is designed to be accessible for beginners, providing step-by-step guidance on turning an idea into a profitable e-commerce brand. It covers fundamental aspects of online business, ensuring that even those new to e-commerce can follow along and find success.
What topics does Start & Scale 3.0 cover?
The program covers a wide range of topics including idea validation, market research, brand building, leveraging social media, effective online marketing strategies, utilizing AI tools for business growth, and scaling an e-commerce business to reach 7-figure sales.
Aren’t there problems with supply chain because of the pandemic?
While the supply chain has certainly been impacted, it’s actually created a massive opportunity for startups or smaller brands. That’s because big brands are struggling to get their huge orders fulfilled, but it’s much easier for smaller brands who don’t need as much product in one go.
So right now, more than ever before, as a startup or “smaller brand”, you can swoop in and actually steal market share from other larger competitors who are out of stock and can’t move as fast as you can!
Do I need to quit my job?
No, you don’t need to leave your job. In fact, we highly suggest you don’t until you get enough income from your online store so you can make the switch smoothly without putting your family and lifestyle at risk. You can get started with as little as 1 hour a week, and scale up from there as you build confidence.
Note: Gretta worked full time when she was launching her first business. You can, too. There’s no need to take unnecessary risks.
What exactly is included in the course?
The entire course curriculum is outlined here.
This explains exactly what’s in each section of the program.
What makes your training better than the others?
There’s no other program that walks you through exactly what you need to know to start an online store fast, written by someone who has built several 7-figure ecommerce businesses from scratch. What’s more, everything has been broken down in step-by-step detail with real action plans including finding your niche, getting customers fast, the mindset required, getting ideas for content, dealing with cashflow in the early stages and how to scale fast
What if I’m not very technical?
Let’s face it, creating your own physical product business from scratch can be extremely intimidating. Start & Scale Your Online store walks you through the necessary steps to develop your idea, validate your idea, produce and manufacture your product and make sure it sells to an audience of hungry buyers. Then, it shows you how to scale up your company.
Will there be plenty of examples to illustrate the points?
Yes, this is a no-fluff program. You’ll get “the how,” together with real specifics that explain everything in step-by-step detail. What’s more, there are real action plans so you know exactly what to do. Nothing has been left to chance.
Is it applicable to anywhere in the world?
YES! YES! YES! That’s the beauty of an online store. We have people all of the world from America, to Asia, to Europe to Africa and everywhere in between. If you have an internet connection and a smart device… you are in business!
What if I have no store or ideas? Just a passion to get going.
Then you are in THE RIGHT PLACE! That’s why we called this “Start” and Scale. We have a master mentor who will show you how to tap into hot and trending ideas, even if you have NO IDEA. You just bring the attitude, we will bring the skill. If this is you, then it’s time to join.
How does the 2-for-1 bonus work?
You just join up, and let us know their details. And we will give them full access. Simple. This is an insane offer. Right now you can get two licenses for $997 (about $497 each) – that’s just nuts for what you will get.
Sounds good, does gretta go over any instagram and influencer tips? I want to get just the “start and scale” course.
Yes! Gretta covers off her tips and process for social media and also using Influencers. This has been a key to seeing success in her businesses, so we have made sure that it is thoroughly covered off in the course. We’re really excited you will be joining us for the next intake of the Start and Scale Course
Do I need to use Shopify like gretta? What if I already have a store?
In the Start and Scale course we recommend and cover how to set-up an online store using Shopify – this is because it is the platform that Gretta van Riel uses for all her businesses. We think it’s powerful, cheap and easy-to-use. If you would like to use another platform, then that is completely OK! It’s not about the tool, it’s about the process and the strategy.
The main thing is about how you can SCALE your sales. Doesn’t matter what platform you do it on.
Is it just a course, or does it offer additional support and encouragement?
We understand accountability, encouragement, guidance and validation are all part of the “secret sauce” that help you follow through on the course.
So as soon as you register, you’ll be given BONUS access to a special closed-door Facebook group where you’ll find your tribe who can help you along the journey from where you are now to building a profitable online store. This collaboration is priceless.
