Ecommerce Momentum Podcast

What a great leap John took a few years ago. What makes someone see the forest through the trees? What allows what John would call a “regular guy” to be able to create a real marketplace in what most would see as a crowded marketplace? Great discussion from a humble guy, the Cincinatti Picker.   Mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1e7o39iNBeLke6tDaykN2A (Cincinatti Picker Youtube Channel) https://lookwhatifound.bid/ (LookwhatIfound.bid) https://lookwhatifound.bid/contact/ (John Yarberry’s Contact) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Scope from Sellerlabs) http://trygodaddy.com/click.track?CID=344983&AFID=419630&godaddy.com=momentum (GoDaddy) http://trygrasshopper.com/click.track?CID=336231&AFID=419630&grasshopper.com=momentum (Grasshopper) Transcript: (note- this is a new

Mike is very inspiring. His story will emphasize that you can overcome adversity with the right attitude. Success is hard, but a life well lived is even harder. On the other side of both Mike will tell you the well lived life is the much better path. What better way to learn the real in’s and out’s of Ecommerce than working for someone else. Take risks, learn faster and remember to go back and apply what you learn in your employers business. That’s a true quid-pro-quo! That’s how Mike rolls.   Mentioned: Mike’s email http://www.thepictaram.club/instagram/mikeolsen_me (Mike’s Instragram) https://www.facebook.com/MikeOlsen.me (Mike’s Facebook contact) https://www.facebook.com/blindcenternv/?timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=1109445994&pnref=lhc (Blind Center of Nevada) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/

Peter aka “Craigslist Hunter” has figured a lot out. He has found a way to have it all: strong family commitments, strong friendships, strong employee relationships and great customer experiences. How, you might wonder? He has processes, he is consistent, he is intentional. That’s really it. Hard work consistently applied over time equals success!   Mentioned: https://ecommercemomentum.com/063-peter-kozysa-aka-craigslist-hunter-figured-out-how-to-create-a-large-in-house-sourcing-system-where-people-bring-the-products-to-you/ (Peter’s first interview # 63) https://www.facebook.com/peter.kozysa (Peter’s Facebook contact) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuuH6JPI65tzx2sO87UjpGg (Peter’s You Tube Channel) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Scope from Sellerlabs) http://trygodaddy.com/c

Yes, you read it correctly…   5,000 + sku’s from 140 + vendors and guess what…he manages it all himself. Oh, and he has a full time job. Let that sink in for a moment. All by himself. Who doesn’t have time now? Todd’s strategy is pretty straight forward: head down and do the work. Reach out to 10 wholesalers a day for a few months and you have a real wholesale business. Mentioned: https://ecommercemomentum.com/041-todd-lammi-wholesale-intel-for-100k-a-month-wholesale-business-plan-that-can-be-replicated/ (Todd’s first interview #41) https://www.facebook.com/todd.lammi.3 (Todd’s Facebook contact) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Scope from Sellerlabs) http://trygodaddy.com/click.track?CID=344983&AFID=419630&godaddy.com=momentum (GoDaddy) http://trygrasshopper.com/clic

So that’s a lot of title words. But while it is a mouthful, it is accurate. Raun has figured out a way to identify market opportunities, do product research and get feedback all from micro-interest Facebook groups. Imagine finding out what horse lovers think of a new shampoo? Or what chicken raisers need to address the shortcomings of current watering systems? You get it now. Let the real market determine what you need to bring or improve to get your business to higher levels.   Mentioned:  https://www.facebook.com/raun.lauterbach (Facebook contact) https://www.48days.com/ (Dan Miller’s 48 Days Groups) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Scope from Sellerlabs) http://trygodaddy.com/click.track?CID=344983&AFID=419630&godaddy.com=momentum (GoDaddy) http://trygrasshopper.com/click.track?CID=336231&

Paul is going to introduce you to the fast expanding world of licensing and what it can do for your private label product(s). Imagine taking your products to a much bigger market, riding the coat tails of some of the largest companies out there. It allows you to expand onto other channels, and let’s larger brands help protect your brand. Paul share generously with you (and me) his secrets to growing beyond Amazon.

James is back and man is he on a mission. His mission is to continue with the education YOU (WE, ME) need in this fast-pace, ever-changing continuously-evolving world we have chosen.

What a great story. Walk away from an incredibly promising certain future to level up your family commitments. This lady has it straight! Look out into your future, do you see what you are doing right now being the thing you want to do in the future? (Oh and are you happy in that image in the future?) That’s a clue then of where you need to steer your commitments.

Get ready to listen to what Nathan has accomplished and then listen again to what his age is. Yes he is one of those guys: an Outlier, an adventurer. Great story of stepping out and how that can lead you to a business with amazing growth and an even better future. Would you be willing to head to where the entrepreneurs are to launch a business?

Jen is such a great person. A real tough-as-nails business person but a soul as kind as they come. Jen has been through some tough times but has the optimism and enthusiasm of a 5 year old on candy. (She might disagree and say it is just a strong front) My wife and I have been fortunate to spend time with Jen (and a few other friends) a few times at a local gift show and have been able to watch Jen’s transformation from a shy and quiet seller to a person with a zest for life. She knows time is precious and there is no chance she is going to waste it. Get ready to understand it can and does happen to YOU! (She was You this time) Life can and does go on sometimes not as you planned.

Anna speaks our language, she is a seller. She is also a CPA and really has figured out the right balance to good bookkeeping and the freedom you get from a self employed lifestyle. There is a line and finding the one that works for you is really the key to keeping up with the work. We both believe the prepared seller has the best chance of taking advantage of market and channel changes.   Mentioned: Anna’s previous interviews: # https://ecommercemomentum.com/098-anna-hill-starting-a-business-starts-with-a-separate-checkbook-and-other-sound-building-blocks/ (98) & #https://ecommercemomentum.com/157-anna-hill-great-accounting-tips-close-year-start-new-year-off-right-ecommerce-business/ (157) https://accountingwewillgo.com/ (Accounting we will go .com) https://www.facebook.com/anna.hill.12914 (Anna’s contact) Sponsors http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4eco

Yes our conversation continues. We like to talk! In this segment Barry gets into the nitty gritty, not so pleasant details of a business decline and its resurrection from the ashes. He shares a lot of details and absolute pearls of experienced wisdom that hopefully will help you stay on the straight and focused path of success. He also talks about evolving again even though it might be working. Be ready to have change as a big part of your model.   Mentioned: https://www.facebook.com/barry.treebeard (Barry’s Facebook contact) https://ecommercemomentum.com/267-barry-treebeard-mark-part-one-two-part-deep-dive-evolving-ecommerce-seller/barry@treebeardsbooks.com (Barry’s email) Sponsors: http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-join () Andy Slaman’s Amazing Freedom Course information click Here! http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum

Okay I do like to talk, I admit it. Good news is that so does Barry and we spend some real time (long time!) breaking down the evolution of Barry’s business and what went right and what went not so right. Barry let’s it all out there and his candid honesty will help you understand everyone makes mistakes, everyone has their challenges and life still goes on. This is part 1 of 2 with some real perspective from someone who had built up a large ecommerce business and lost it all. Then reinvented it again but smarter and more within his control this time.   Mentioned: https://www.facebook.com/barry.treebeard (Barry’s Facebook contact) Barry’s email Sponsors: http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-join ()Andy Slaman’s Amazing Freedom Course information click Here! http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Sco

Nathan has a real enthusiasm about him. You can’t help but get excited when you talk with him. I love how in this episode he talks about using his built up (not mature) business to offer services in his local community and how it offsets his costs. Again its not how much you sell that really matters, its how much you keep. Great example of walking the walk and then talking the talk.   Mentioned: https://ecommercemomentum.com/078-nathan-bailey-a-coachs-coach-mega-seller-living-a-life-helping-others-develop-themselves/ (Nathan’s first interview #78) https://manychat.com/ (Manychat.com) https://www.facebook.com/business/news/introducing-canvas (Facebook Canvas) https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808 (Book recommendation: Power of Now- Eckhart Tolle) https://www.pinatagrams.com/ (Pinatagrams) Integreship http://www.jimcockrumcoaching.com/ (Jim Cockrum Coaching) https://www.facebook.com/nathan.bailey.7 (Nathan’s Facebook contact) Sponsors: ht

Chris does a great job of breaking down his plan to earn x. (x is a pretty big number) Chris uses Internet Marketing to supplement his FBA business and honestly he loves the learning. I also like how his mentor is younger than him. Yes that is a sign of the times. You can and must learn from the marketplace users to understand the marketplace.

Chad aka “Golden Finger Picker” on You Tube knows a thing or two about a lot of stuff. Long term this knowledge has allowed him (and could allow you) to build out a long term business.
