Summary
Today's podcast episode is an open discussion session sort of like a coaching session with a new student. Because I've been in Ecommerce for 20 years as the only source of income for my family (selling on Amazon, eBay, doing training, events etc.), I typically have some pretty solid advice for new sellers who are eagerly ramping up with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.
Recently I asked for a few volunteers who were were also willing to capture an open conversations with me about their Amazon selling business. They needed to be facing down challenging circumstances and willing to share their story with us. The guest on this episode is an excellent example!
Today I talk to my guest about' "Where do I start?", "Which business model makes sense for me?", "What can I sell?", "What if any tools do I need?", "How fast can I/should I scale?" as well as other general advice about his biz and goals. As a new or experienced seller I think you'll find this info practical and challenging!
