This Amazon selling superstar has been the inspiration for hundreds of sellers out there.

Now, it's been a year since we last spoke to her, so she's joined us to catch us up on all she's been doing,

from diversifying her income to traveling around the world and even building schools in Africa.

How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.

Thank you. in Africa. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast by Helium-10.

I am your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that's a completely BS-free, unscripted, and unrehearsed, organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world.

And I'm very happy to invite back to the show, a serious seller we had on, it's been about a year and a half ago almost. Tatiana James, Tatiana, how's it going? It's doing really well. Thank you, Bradley, so much for having me on. I'm excited. I always love chatting with you, but it's been a while since we've had a talk, so this will be really fun. Yes, it's going to be great to catch up. And speaking of

Yeah, so I first started with publishing books on Amazon.

And so I published like a bunch of dog training books because I had a little puppy at the time.

And it was a subject that really interested me. And so I learned how to kind of navigate the Amazon platform a little bit.

And then from there, I kind of upgraded to selling products on Amazon.

Yes, yes. And that we talk a lot about that strategy because, you know, you eventually got
