Today I interview Ben Webber, an Amazon legend, who started selling retail arbitrage on Amazon back in 2014. He was driving his truck all over the country, searching for liquidations and bargains so he could list those products on Amazon and make a tidy profit. With his buddies, they were able to scale to $3 Million per year!

They quickly realised that the retail arbitrage model wasn’t a sustainably scalable business, so they pivoted to Private label in 2016 and things took off after they were interviewed on a popular radio show in the USA. An interesting way to launch a product on Amazon, that’s for sure!

They now have 9 Brands, with hundreds of SKU’s selling both on Amazon and Walmart, last year selling over $50 million. 

Amongst lots of gold nuggets, Ben chats about his latest product research tactic, buying product patents from Patent owners to create defensible product lines.

So come join Ben at the Amazon Collective!

Today I interview Ash Rex, a veteran online video and Amazon expert who lives and works in Japan. He started his career in finance before moving from Sydney to Japan and working on all sorts of entrepreneurial ventures ever since.

His expertise in video has given him a huge edge selling on Amazon for both his own eCommerce brands, but also now for the clients he works with.

This is a must listen episode if you’re thinking of expanding to Japan.

This week I chat with Chris, who is a professional Australian photographer based up in Queensland. Chris & his wife Sonia’s extensive knowledge of photography helped them to develop their product line in the baby Category on Amazon USA.

In just a couple of years, they’ve gone from $60K in their first year, $320K in 2023 and they’re looking at $800K this year in 2024 with just one product and a handful of variations.

Their margins are sensational and they enjoy healthy profits in spite of all the new fees Amazon’s imposed on us sellers.

We talk about the methods they’ve employed to keep their fees as low as possible. We discuss variation strategies, and their plans for Marketplace expansion and growth for this year.

This week I have a conversation with Denise Billsborough, an HR Professional living in Queensland. In 2017, when Denise was on Maternity leave, she decided to start an ecommerce business selling on Amazon Australia just after it launched here. She’s now expanded to multiple marketplaces and runs a thriving Amazon business selling products in the baby category!
