On today’s show we welcome Max, a 7 figure Amazon seller living quietly here in Melbourne Australia. Max used to be an ‘IT guy’, troubleshooting and fixing computers and networks, until he discovered Amazon. His dream was simple; ”I want to make money while I sleep” – but to paraphrase, he really wanted to stop trading his time for money.
He did a dodgy course, learned the ropes and luckily hit it out of the park with his first product in the kitchen category.
Today Max’s is turning over a million dollars in sales per year on Amazon, mainly in the USA, but he also sells in Europe and Australia.
We talk about how he scaled, about the Chinese work ethic, the recent round of Trump tariffs and strategies as well as sourcing from outside of China like India etc.
Speaking of India, you should join me there in October for a week’s sourcing trip at the Delhi Fair – the dates are between Oct 14th and 20th – 5 Star hotels, meals provided, 3,000 exhibitors…
