If you've ever wanted to sell on Amazon, listen up, because I've got Scott Voelker (AKA The Amazing Seller) with me today. Scott got started with a little photography business and ended up on Amazon and Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon). He's going to teach us about physical products and about selling white label products on Amazon, and also branding. Whether you want to sell physical products or digital, doesn't matter, Scott's delivering a true masterclass for us today. What're you waiting for? Hit that play button!
Scott is known as the Amazing Seller over at TheAmazingSeller.com and The Amazing Seller Podcast, and he has that reputation for good reason. He's amazing because of where he's coming from—he's here to serve. Like me, he's a family man, and that serve-first philosophy comes through in his teaching style. That's really why he's successful, and that's why you can be successful too.
Scott has so much to offer on today's show: How to validate your product and stand out from the competition, how to evaluate the marketplace, plus how to create a brand and content around your products. This episode truly is a masterclass in both branding and selling on Amazon, so get ready to dive deep!
If you want to get even more from Scott in the form of a workshop, he'll break down the five steps to getting yourself launched on Amazon, which you can find at TheAmazingSeller.com/workshop.
I've been doing a bunch of live webinars and free trainings recently, and I'd love to see you at the next one!
