Jenna has been selling on Amazon since November 2017. Like most of us, she started with retail and online arbitrage, then transitioned into wholesale mid-2018.

She's grown her business 3 times the size it was when I last interviewed her on the podcast. In this episode, Jenna shares her mental break throughs, new growth systems and how she consistently overcomes obstacles while growing her wholesale Amazon business.

Barbara is an active seller on Amazon and is constantly learning.

In the 1990s, a new form of communication called "emoticons" was making its debut. There were only a handful of symbols, and Barbara thought it would be a good idea to put an image of the most popular 12 on a mousepad, so people had a handy "cheatsheet" for creating a smiley face right in front of them.

Fast forward to 2015, when Barbara first ventured into the "World of Amazon." As you probably did, she started by sourcing using "retail arbitrage" and "online arbitrage." After her first Q4 of crazy profit, and equally crazy hours, she quickly realized that building a business based on these sourcing methods was unsustainable.

That was her final wakeup call. Now, she's has been buying from wholesale sources for years. She has local and other online sales channels, but didn't add Amazon as a sales channel until 2015. So she learned years ago how to identify fanatical niche markets, locate great products, and negotiate the best deal with suppliers.

Cameron is a self-employed Amazon Seller, currently living in Los Angeles, California. He's been selling on Amazon for more than four years, first selling via retail arbitrage then moving into private label. He's met, and helped, a large number of sellers through his time working with Viral Launch, and has since then started focusing on his own ventures, helping others fight against mental illness, anxiety and depression.

This week we share a behind the scenes of our Weekly Live Sourcing and Q&A session. Each week, we do this for our Facebook group members to help them move past barriers, overcome fears and land more profitable wholesale accounts.
