PROJECT TWO
When Project One is settled and profitable, its income will be used to pay for development and launch of a new and separate ecom brand in a different niche, also using Shopify + Klaviyo + other online selling sites. What proved to be very successful in Project One will be applied to Project Two to speed up its development time prior to launch and to achieve systematic rapid business growth.

PROJECT THREE
After Project Two is settled, there is a new online SAAS business to build. It may or may not use Shopify as the platform. It will be an innovate, scalable, challenging global business to build and promote that will test out everyone involved during its development, testing and marketing.

This job may start part time, say 20 hours a week and evolve into full time at 40 hours a week. Please advise your hourly rate.

My time zone is Melbourne, Australia.
