Summary
In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, I interview a successful Proven Amazon Course student who recently achieved his first $10,000 sales month!
Dylan has a background in woodworking and cabinetry and is brand new to all things Amazon. His journey of getting started in selling on Amazon and the strategies he used to overcome challenges, including navigating the ungating process and avoiding high-risk private label branding, are all discussed today. You're sure to grab an action step or two.
Hearing Dylan's story is a reminder to keep at it and is especially helpful for beginners interested in building their e-commerce businesses.
