on today's episode we've got two sellers who are going to talk about the strategies that help one of them go from selling used books on amazon to millions of dollars of sales and the other one now has surpassed the eight figure mark since he was on the show last how cool is that pretty cool i think Hello, everybody and welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast by Helium 10.
