Seller Sessions Amazon FBA and Private Label

This week on Inspired with Bell... Shivali Patel comes from an incredibly versatile background. Though she had three degrees that were ready to drive her into medicine, she switched gears after falling in love with business in 2015. Whether you're thinking about network marketing, drop-shipping, launching a brand on Amazon, or writing and publishing several of her own books, she has probably tried her hand at it all. Shivali is passionate about industries centred around delivering authentic, helpful tools others can use to grow and succeed.

On Thursdays with Sharon Even, we welcome Anna Davidson, Long Time Amazon Seller and Digital Success Coach, to talk about Creating Niche Based Journals (and more) to Sell on Amazon through KDP. Creating and Publishing KDP no content and low content journals can be a great way to get started on Amazon or a great add-on to your current business with a low investment. In today's Episode, Anna will share how she finds niches within the journals category and launches different types of low-content journals to help create an almost passive income. We talk about what the process looks like, what tools are best used for this, how creative you may or may not need to be, PPC for books, and more!

Entrepreneurship and Non Profits This week on Inspired with Bell Armand King is a serial entrepreneur. He is the cofounder of the successful nonprofit 'Paving Great Futures'. With his lead, he was able to take his nonprofit from a budget of 0 to a multi-million dollar establishment. He is a published author and keynote speaker. King's guidance helps build the organisation's capacity through gaining substantial relationships and fund development. He has over 20 years of experience building startup businesses, learning from his first hand experiences on what should be done and not be done to have a successful business. Although this is him now, his past wasn't easy. He was born and raised in an impoverished community where he began his early years as a homeless youth, being involved in numerous toxic lifestyle activities. After losing several of his closest friends to the streets he turned his pain into passion to help others. He has spent the last half decade speaking and training many people, companies, and institutions about awareness and prevention of gangs, drugs, and domestic human sex trafficking as well as helping to design programs that help guide youth from falling into these toxic lifestyles.

Expanding To Different Amazon Marketplaces and The Local Leading Platforms... Jana Krekic joins me today to discuss some ideas around expansion to other marketplaces whilst expanding to Amazon alternatives to .com. Example, when you rollout it is worth looking at the leading player in the market to double down on your ROI. Rakuten, Zalando, Allegro, CDiscount and Wildberries are leading marketplaces in their own rights. Jana is a certified translator, international speaker, an e-commerce consultant and also the founder of 7-figure Amazon dedicated translations agency - YLT Translations. She has had over 5 years of experience working with various 7 to 9-figure Amazon sellers and is very passionate about her work. Jana was also a business development manager in one of the biggest North European online eCommerce platforms for 8 years where she had gained a lot of experience with online businesses. She doesn't only lead the team of 60 people, but also completely understands E-commerce and Amazon and has created an Amazon dedicated translation agency which helps sellers scale their businesses across different international marketplaces.

When Will The Next Wave Be For Amazon Brand Exits? In this episode I give my thoughts on a recent Marketplace Pulse "Gold Rush To Fund Amazon Aggregators Dries Up" I have had a pretty good view of the space over the last couple of years. I have a great relationship with many Aggregators and Brokers and seen dozens of sellers and personal friends walk away with great multiples. Plus at Databrill we are primed perfectly; seeing a lot of our clients exit, as they fit the remit for being acquired.

This week on Inspired with Bell... Alina Gordon was born and raised in Ukraine. At the age of 9, her family immigrated to Boston, where she learned what it meant to be unique and independent. Childhood wasn't easy but it helped Alina understand who she was and what she had to offer the world early on in her life. Starting Church of Music was really a culmination of all of her life's experiences combined into one. She brought over 10 years of supply chain logistics, recycling, and reverse logistics along with business development skills. Her experience in working in software IP, helping Flagship IP in software patent monetisation and enforcement, helped her with the legal side of CoM. Her extensive experience in starting and being part of startups for the past 6 years, contributed to helping her understand the process as well as the structure for building something from ground up. And of course her global MBA from Columbia University, London Business School, and Hong Kong university didn't get in the way either. Her classical piano training since the age of 5, helped her understand music on a deeper level and create a sound for CoM that truly resonates with people of all ages, colours, backgrounds, and religions. Alina truly believes music is one of the biggest forces on this planet that can unite people and raise their vibration through sound and movement, which ultimately leads to healing and love!
