Fyi for anyone wondering, I am verified on /r/FulfillmentByAmazon
Happy Friday. Well if you're an entrepreneur, tomorrow isn't really the weekend anyway. Kind of bored today so I thought I would do this!
A little about me: Got started in internet marketing doing Affiliate marketing, making commissions on affiliate offers from various companies. Got really good at understanding how to market products and services from doing this.
I realized that I was only making part of the profits simply sending traffic to affiliate offers (2009), so decided to make a product and sell it on amazon (2014). It was fairly successful and after creating many more, I realized I needed to "level up" and make a true brand that is much more than just a product on Amazon. (2016) This had to have all the pieces (graphics, content, product line, some kind of cohesive story/reason etc).
That "level up" allowed me to pitch to walmart, target, walgreens, cvs, riteaid, kroger, etc, with success in many of the above retailers & more.
As you can see from the above dates, while I was very successful early on (I pulled 6 figs my first year as an "entrepreneur" in 2009), there was definitely a process. I think I hit 1M/yr sales in 2014, and passed 10M/yr sales in 2017 or so.
I'll try to answer as many questions as possible. I'd prefer to help you on your business questions than answer questions about mine that may or may not even apply to you.
Don't follow my youtube channel because I don't have one, and sorry I can't direct you to where you can buy my course because fuck you if you sell courses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
