0:00.0 | Launch on Amazon, get it going for two or three months, get some sales, |
0:03.9 | test some headlines, test pricing, and then once you've got some momentum, |
0:07.9 | launch your own e-commerce store on a site like Shopify and then start trying to drive |
0:12.9 | organic traffic or paid traffic there. |
0:23.5 | Practical selling. Where do you recommend people sell? Do they do Shopify? Do they do Amazon? |
0:28.6 | You have an interesting approach. Well, we started on Amazon and then after about |
0:33.5 | eight months we launched on Shopify and the reason we did that was because Amazon has an existing |
0:39.3 | marketplace, existing buyers. People are going to Amazon to buy. Not to mention that you can |
0:46.2 | have fulfillment by Amazon, which means you never have to take possession of the product that |
0:51.1 | you're selling. You might just order it from a manufacturer, send it to Amazon and then when |

1:32.8 | selling on Amazon because with the Shopify account, we're able to capture someone's email address, |
1:38.4 | which means we're able to then sell them other products. Whereas if you're only selling on Amazon, |
1:44.0 | Amazon actually controls the customer. It's a lot harder for you to be able to communicate with |
1:51.0 | your customer ongoing just on Amazon. So I would say if you are looking to launch a physical |
1:58.0 | products business, I would say launch on Amazon, get it going for two or three months, get some |
2:04.5 | sales, test some headlines, test pricing. And then once you've got some momentum, launch your own |
