  3. 413 : Jeff Cohen – Decide whether to pivot or persevere based on risk tolerance to be successfully selling on Amazon

    Jeff’s point needs to be taken to heart. Challenges to your business will come whether you like it or not.

  6. 409 : Elizabeth Thompson – Accept that good enough is going you to push forward. You might end up being surprised by how much better they are than you.

    Real talk from a real seller. How true is this for you: “I can do it better myself!” or “No one can do it as well as I can!” Well I know I can relate and have said those things only to be humbled when someone picks it up faster and improves on what I was doing. Humble indeed. But Elizabeth had a...

  7. 408 : Bob Steele – Don’t just chase inventory if you can not get it through your process

    Bob speaks from experience. Inventory buying is a thrill. Finding great deals is what we do. But if it sits in your warehouse and doesn’t get processed then it is wasted economic value. Value you might not get back. See if it forces you to borrow money or put off hiring key labor that would…

  12. 403 : Mark Berkowitz – Dealing with common eCommerce Intellectual Property issues

    It’s funny in today’s fast changing world where a young guy (relative to me) is the absolute expert at his Law firm.

  13. 402 : Jon MacDonald – How do you convert more of your traffic into sales

  20. 395 : Allen Walker – You must remember you are a buyer first to have success selling on Amazon

    Wise words from a young guy. You must be a buyer first. Regardless if you are an RA, OA, Wholesale or Private Label seller it all starts with the buy.
