The 60-second version

What it costs
$15K–$60K

One launch fee, four packages (1 to 10 stores) — the only money you pay us up front. Our second half only ever comes from profit, after you've been paid back. Advertising and normal store running costs are funded separately. Financing the launch fee is optional, from 2.5% down.

The guarantee
Day 120

Profitable on your ads by day 120 — or your call: a full refund of the launch fee, or the next 120 days on us. Single written trigger; conditions apply and are linked below.

What clients average
$24,473/mo per store

Gross sales for clients who launched, ran ads and tested 10+ products (2020–2026 dataset). Across all 730 client entries — including those who never launched — $6,084/mo. Gross, not profit. Some earn nothing or lose money.

Your other costs
~$1,540/mo per store

$50/day minimum ad budget plus ~$39/mo Shopify and apps. Ad spend is at risk whether or not it sells. Or start on the organic track: no ad budget, two A.I.-made posts a day that you publish.

The deal

Five moves. That's the whole thing.

One launch fee

$25,000 on Portfolio. You separately fund advertising and normal store running costs.

You get paid back first

100% of net profit is yours until you've recovered every dollar of it.

Then we share

30% on Portfolio, capped at a second $25,000. No profit, no fee, ever.

Then it's your call

Keep us on at half the rate with no minimum, or run the stores yourself at 0%.

Or your money back

Not profitable by day 120? Full refund of the launch fee, or 120 more days free.

Success fee accrues only after cumulative net profit equals the launch fee, is collected monthly from profit only, and stops once it has paid a second launch fee. Long-term rate has no monthly minimum; if a store's share falls under $1,000/month for three months we hand it back rather than charge a retainer. Every package includes a lifetime licence, seven A.I. employees per store, white-glove setup, stores in your name, 100% done-for-you operations, coaching and course library, and your choice of track.

The guarantee, in one sentence.

Up to 30 days to build and launch, then 90 days live. If your stores aren't profitable on their ads by day 120 — after a test you funded and let run — it's your call, and the full conditions are published at aiministores.com/money-back-guarantee-terms.

Option A
Refund
the launch fee back in full
Option B
120 days
more of our work, free

Financing is optional, not required: the launch fee can be financed from 2.5% of the total package down through an independent lender, subject to credit approval. Half our fee comes from profit either way.

Two ways to run the 120 days

Paid ads or organic content — same stores, same team, same guarantee.

Every package runs on either track, and you can switch whenever you like. The difference is what you put in and how fast it compounds.

Track A · Paid adsFastest · most scalable

We run the ads. You fund them.

Our team writes, launches and optimises across up to 10 product tests, cuts the losers and scales the winners. You never touch an ad account.

Your part
$50/day per store for the 90-day test — about $4,500, paid to the ad platforms, never to us.
Day 120 target
At least one ad profitable on its own spend, sustained over a ten-day stretch.
Pace
Live inside 30 days. This is where the averages on this page come from.
Track B · Organic contentNo ad budget

Your A.I. employees make it. You post it.

Two pieces of content a day, generated for you. You review, post, and log two quick action items — about twenty minutes a day.

Your part
Post the daily pieces and submit the two action items on at least 80% of days.
Day 120 target
Profitable sales from the content — revenue beyond what the content cost to make.
Pace
Slower to compound. Most content-first clients switch to ads once profit can fund them.

What we don't promise

A due-diligence page that only lists upside isn't due diligence. These are the limits, in plain language — the agreement says the same thing in longer words.

  • No income is guaranteed. The averages above are gross sales, self-reported in part, and a significant number of clients earn less — some nothing.
  • Ad spend is at risk. The $50/day you fund is spent whether or not it produces sales. It is never refunded.
  • The guarantee has one trigger. At least one ad returning 1.7× its spend over any 10 consecutive days by day 120 (content track: profitable sales from your content). It is tied to that ad — not to your overall profit, cash flow or return on the launch fee.
  • It's refund or extension — never both. A refund is of the launch fee, less the processing fee stated in the agreement, and is unavailable where your gross sales have already exceeded the launch fee.
  • You have to hold up your end. $50/day per store in testing (or 80% of the two daily content actions), up to 10 products tested as scheduled, accounts and payments in good standing.
  • "A.I. employees" are software. Configured, supervised and directed by humans. They don't run a business autonomously.
  • Margins vary. 25–35% net is typical at small scale once a winner is found; testing months can be negative. 1.7× ROAS is the level at which sales typically cover ad spend, product, shipping, software and other essentials — not a margin promise.
  • Credits are third-party. Software and A.I. credits come from start-up perk programs that decide eligibility themselves. Highly likely, not guaranteed.
  • Financing is a real loan. If you finance the launch fee, you owe the lender regardless of how the store performs.
  • Full ROI takes time. Being paid back first typically happens within months; a full return on the launch fee is typically 6–18 months. No timeline is guaranteed.
Is this you?

Who this works for — and who it doesn't.

A good fit if…

  • You have capital that is genuinely investable — not rent, not an emergency fund.
  • You want an asset that earns without you running it day to day.
  • You can fund $50/day per store in ads, or commit twenty minutes a day to the content track.
  • You'll reply to your consultant inside two business days and let the team do the work.
  • You're judging this over 12 months, not 30 days.

Not a fit if…

  • The money is borrowed against income you can't service, or you need it back next quarter.
  • You want a guaranteed income figure — nobody honest can give you one.
  • You want to run the ads and the store yourself and override the strategy.
  • You can't fund the ad budget and won't do the content track either.
  • You expect $10K/month in 30 days. Most stores take longer than that to find a winner.
Straight answers

The eight we're asked most.

What exactly is pay-as-you-profit now?

Every package is split in two. The launch fee — 50% of the package — is paid up front (wire, card, or financed from 2.5% down). The other half is a success fee that only ever comes from your stores' net profit, only after you've recovered the launch fee, and only until it has paid a second launch fee. If the stores never profit, we never see it. It isn't a loan and there's no interest.

Do you have a guarantee? What are the terms?

Yes, one written trigger: by the end of the 120-day Guarantee Period (up to 30 days setup + 90 active campaign days), at least one of your ads has averaged 1.7× return on ad spend over any 10 consecutive days — or, on the content track, profitable sales from your content. If not, you elect either a full refund of the launch fee (less the processing fee in the agreement) or another 120 days of managed services free. Never both. Conditions: $50/day per store in testing (or 80% of the daily content actions), up to 10 products tested as scheduled, accounts in good standing. Exact terms →

What's the success fee, and when does it stop?

A share of net profit — 40 / 30 / 20 / 15% by package — that starts only after cumulative net profit equals your launch fee and stops once it has paid a second launch fee. Net profit is defined in the agreement: sales minus product, shipping, fees, ad spend and software. At the qualified average on Portfolio, you're typically paid back within the first two or three months and our share is finished before the end of the first year — the scenarios above show the range.

What happens after the cap?

Your call. Keep us running the stores day-to-day at half the success-fee rate (15% on Portfolio) with no monthly minimum, locked for life — or take them in-house with your own team or A.I. agents at 0%. If you keep us on and a store's share drops under $1,000 a month for three months, we hand it back fully documented rather than charge a retainer.

What other expenses will I have besides your fee?

Shopify (~$39/month), the ad budget on the ads track ($50/day per store ≈ $1,500/month), and product cost, which comes out of each sale. Some apps are optional; free alternatives exist for most. Start-up perks from third-party providers can cover $10K–$100K+ in software and A.I. credits, subject to their approval.

What if I only have a small ad budget — or none?

The minimum on the ads track is $50/day per store. If that's a stretch, start on the organic track: two A.I.-made content pieces a day that you publish, no ad spend, and switch to ads once the first profits can fund them. Syndicate testing also pools product tests across clients so your budget goes further.

How does financing work, and what if I get declined?

Financing is optional and covers the launch fee only, through independent lenders (Affirm, Klarna, Elective and others; US & Canada; 0–36% APR by credit profile) from 5% of the launch fee down. You're responsible for repayments regardless of store performance. If you're declined, nothing changes about the deal — pay the launch fee by wire or card and the success fee still only comes from profit.

What are the risks?

Real ones. You can lose time, and the money spent on ads and software — ad spend is at risk whether or not it produces sales. Margins can be negative during testing. Our commitment reduces the risk on the launch fee — it doesn't eliminate it, and no profit is guaranteed. If any of this would cause hardship, don't enrol.

Before building her own brands, Elle spent over six years in marketing with global names including ALO and Charlotte Tilbury — helping Charlotte Tilbury become the #2 beauty brand in the Middle East and scaling ALO across four markets. Today she runs multiple online businesses that generate seven figures in client revenue, combining A.I., e-commerce, content and digital businesses.

Elle graduated in Economics & Mathematics in 2018 and followed the "safe" path into corporate marketing — growing to $80K a year before the long hours made her question what success was really for. She started investing early (a finance-background father taught her markets and risk from childhood) and eventually traded the corporate ladder for solo travel, courses, A.I. and digital marketing. Her focus now: practical ways to turn emerging technology into real businesses — so people without a big team, a technical background or years of experience can build in the new A.I. economy.
