My Introduction and what value I can bring to your business. - 2019
Hey there, ambitious reader.
My name is Tudor Tanase, I was born in Romania and still living in here. (Baia Mare is my home city)
I am 25 years old, been doing E-Commerce and Social Media marketing for 4 years now.
Jan 2017 - I first started with a weight loss supplements company here in Romania, after 1 year of struggle I decided to move on to another niche.
Nov 2017 - I started an Amazon brand with a friend and that didn’t work for multiple reasons: lack of cash, lack of knowledge, lack of work, lack of collaboration
May 2018 - I started a second brand on my own and got destroyed by Amazon Review Purge. (I was so damn stupid to buy those reviews from Facebook Groups!)
Sept 2018 - I started another brand on Amazon on my own, I found a home run product that was selling over 100k$/ month with over 30% net. After not so long, because lacking brand registry, transparency or project zero, I got hijacked, by professionals. After they finished with me, I gathered 30+ 1-Star reviews from Amazon, and I had to CLOSE THAT LISTING!
Jan 2019 - Thanks to Q4, I managed to somehow gathered some money and launch 4 new products. (including re-launching the one who got hijacked, I wasn’t able to scale it like last time, because of the competition) Right now July I sell around 30-40k $/ month with 20% net. (I started in January with 13k$)
I have few new products coming soon that I will boost the sales by a lot and prepare for Q4.
What I learned during this period:
1) How to do product research
2) How to negotiate and talk with suppliers/ forwarders
3) How to easily make a product listing that is optimized for A9 algorithm
4) How to launch & optimize a product for the long term profits
5) How to drive outside traffic to Amazon
6) How to create your own tribe of real buyers that will help you when launching new products
7) How to deal with hijackers and black hat stuff
8) How to run Facebook ads, Instagram profiles, Pinterest pages and your Business Blog
9) How to make a proper Shopify store that converts
And much much more.
