She grew a passion for ecommerce after she successfully profited $40,000 on eBay in just three months doing retail arbitrage. She knew at a very young age that she wanted to be her own boss and there was no better time than now.

After crossing paths with other successful Amazon FBA sellers, she decided to take on this business model full time. Tamara began coaching and mentoring other beginner sellers after she made close to $200,000 in sales in her first year selling on Amazon. As she grew her Amazon FBA business and brand, so did her product line. Tamara wanted to give back to the world and share her knowledge and experience by starting her own YouTube channel where it has grown to a large number of subscribers in a short period of time.
