March 24, 2020
Have you ever thought about selling products on Amazon, but aren't sure if the opportunity is real? Are you curious as to how to get started and how much revenue can be produced? Today's episode is a little different than the norm in that yours truly is actually the guest on the show, and my "guest" Ian Paterson, is actually the host and the one interviewing me! Ian is the founder of a SaaS company called Plurilock and when Ian and I were introduced, the original goal was to have me interview him. All that changed however, once Ian learned about my story of how selling supplements on Amazon ultimately led to my founding a software company called Flowster that Ian now uses. Questions Ian asked on the show: [01:46] When did you get started on Amazon? [02:42] How did you find profitable products? [03:02] How did creating SOPs and hiring virtual assistants affect your results? [04:03] What happened after you spoke on stage at the industry conference about your success? [04:51] How did you start Flowster? [06:22] What did it cost you to develop the software to the point where you could launch? [10:19] What problems does Flowster solve and how big is the market for this? [18:52] How did you attract your first 1,000 users? [30:59] What are your plans for the future of Flowster?
