We have a fantastic guest today to talk about an interesting topic. It's very important for us crazed over busy Amazon sellers to help with Amazon outsourcing. Today we welcome Conner Giillvin who has been an Amazon Seller since 2009. He is also the co-founder of Freeeup which is an Outsourcing company specifically for Amazon.

Gillivan’s background with Amazon

He has been working with his business partner, Nathan Hirsch, since 2009 when they first started selling on Amazon and going to college together. Nathan was the first one to learn about Amazon and see if there was an opportunity. The way that they started working together was by purchasing textbooks back from students and then listing them up on Amazon and figure out how to use this whole new marketplace that was online.

Creating the FreeeUp platform

They started to come up with their own ideas of what worked fast and we just didn't love the process that Upwork’s freelancing platform was offering. They wanted there to be a pre-vetted system. One where you knew the person had the experience, was going to be a good fit for communication and could come into our business pretty quickly. That's the reason why they created Freeeup.

Valuing your time

You as a business owner really need to figure out how to value your time. So, if you're spending even an hour each day replying to emails... that's an hour that you could be spending on something else which could be more beneficial by outsourcing in order to grow your Amazon business.

That's something you always have to keep in the back your mind even if you're just getting started at a certain point. You're going to have to value your time at a different level because there's going to be a lot of things that are going on, and a lot of processes to maintain.

FreeeUp vs. Upwork

It’s specifically for Amazon sellers. Freeeup started very centered around the Amazon world and just the eCommerce world in general. That continues to be where they’re expanding and trying to pull more clients into the business. They have a lot of experience hiring people with Amazon backgrounds so they kind of know what they're looking for and can be good for business owners.

The second reason is they are a lot faster than using Upwork or a freelancer platform like Fiverr. So with us, you can create a free account. You come into your account very quickly. You just fill out a form with only about 10 questions. Submit that to them and they make that available to all the Freelancers that are within the network. Within 24 hours you're introduced to just one person that fits exactly who you're looking for give us.

Why use FreeeUp Outsourcing

Maybe their problem is product research and they are having trouble looking for those products that are going to sell well. They might even have a little bit of an idea of what processes they would like to use, but it's just not something they can have the time to do on a day-to-day basis. So they come to speak with us about what kind situation they are in. From there they just submit a ticket and they are introduced to a freelancer very quickly that fits their needs.

Outsourcing the right tasks

Amazon takes a good amount of knowledge of knowing how to create a listing on a detail page. If it's a new listing you're going to create it from scratch you want to have some knowledge of Amazon SEO. You'll also be creating effective titles,
