EP39: How To Build Your Own E-commerce Brand Using Amazon, with Scott Voelker
Would you like to learn the secrets for picking the right products in the right market and generating your first online sales within the next 90 days using Amazon?
Scott Voelker is one of the leading educators in the world on FBA [Fulfilment by Amazon] and private labelling to sell physical products.
Scott’s first foray into selling physical products online started when he made $100,000 in 18 months using ebay to sell video transfer devices which he used in his existing bricks and mortar business. That success opened his eyes to the opportunity in ecommerce, and also led to Scott creating some of his own digital training products and generating sales income that way as well.
In 2014 Scott Launched ‘The Amazing Seller’ podcast to share everything he was learning about FBA whilst he was building his own online ecommerce business. He couldn’t find any other reliable resource, and so launched his own weekly show which has now grown into THE number one resource for anyone wanting to learn and grow their FBA business, with a whopping 9 million downloads to date!
In this interview, Scott and I discuss why Amazon is such a great place to get started selling products online, but how you should always be thinking about your own brand and focusing on building your own asset that you could potentially sell one day in the future. You’ll also hear Scott share The Five Step Process that can help you create a brand from scratch, and start generating your first online sales within the next 90 days.
