    Ep. 70 How He Collected Over 100K and Stopped Chinese Knockoffs on Amazon

    Copycats are stealing your sales, but what if IP enforcement could become a hidden growth channel for your ecommerce brand?In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Alan Li, Co-founder of CopyCatch.AI, to talk about how eCommerce brands can fight back against copycats, counterfeiters, and marketplace infringers on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Temu, and more.Alan shares how copycats helped crush one of his brands from $7M in annual revenue down to $1.5M, why basic DMCA takedowns often fail, and how he later used contingency-based Schedule A lawsuits to collect over $100K+ in settlements while doubling his Amazon revenue after removing copycats.They also cover why IP protection is more than legal defense, it can become a serious growth lever for brands losing revenue to knockoffs.

    Ep. 68 The Truth About eCommerce Financing: What Founders Need to Know

    Most eCommerce founders don’t struggle with growth, they struggle with money.In this episode of The eCom Growth Show, Danan Coleman sits down with Emily Reeves, VP of Capital Solutions at Bridge Marketplace, to break down the truth about eCommerce financing, what options actually exist, how lenders think, and where founders go wrong.If you’ve ever considered taking a loan to scale inventory, fund ads, or grow faster… this episode is for you.Emily walks through the real financing landscape for eCommerce brands: from revenue-based lending and inventory financing to traditional bank loans and explains why not all capital is created equal.They also unpack how lenders evaluate your business, including how your revenue, inventory, and cash flow determine how much you can actually borrow and at what cost.One of the biggest takeaways? The “easy money” that shows up fast is often the most dangerous. Many founders fall into the trap of high-interest loans that drain their cash flow daily or weekly, making it nearly impossible to scale sustainably.Emily also shares a powerful rule: you can’t have money that is good, cheap, and fast all at once. The faster the funding, the more expensive and risky it becomes for your business.Beyond financing options, this episode dives deep into financial literacy for founders. From understanding margins to actually knowing your numbers, Emily explains why relying on your accountant isn’t enough and how not knowing your financials can cost you opportunities (or worse).They also explore what’s changing in today’s lending market, including stricter bank requirements, shifts in SBA loans, and why alternative lenders are becoming more common often at a much higher cost.If you’re thinking about raising capital, funding inventory, or scaling your eCommerce brand, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic decisions with your money.🔗 Connect with Emily Reeves LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyelizabethreeves⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:24 What Emily Does at Bridge Marketplace00:59 Financing Options for eCommerce Brands02:10 How Much You Can Borrow03:11 Understanding Loan Costs & APR04:23 Emily’s Path Into Finance05:15 From Factoring to CPG Lending06:00 What Are Slotting Fees?06:25 Amazon Pricing & Buy Box Risks08:31 Biggest Financing Mistakes Founders Make09:37 The “Good, Cheap, Fast” Rule10:02 Why Founders Must Know Their Numbers11:31 The Reality of eCommerce Margins13:09 Using Data & AI for Financial Insights14:54 What’s Happening in the Lending Market15:49 What is the Prime Rate?16:41 SBA Loan Changes You Need to Know17:37 Why Bank Lending Is Getting Harder18:29 The Rise of Predatory Lending19:05 Why “Cheap Money” Isn’t Actually Cheap20:36 When to Take on Debt21:41 How Bridge Marketplace Helps Founders#TheeComGrowthShow #eCommerceFinance #BusinessLoansKEEP IN TOUCH:🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danancoleman📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecomgrowthshow👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheeComGrowthShow 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/eComGrowthShowYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@eComGrowthShowDanan Coleman is an expert in the Amazon field.
