Today's podcast episode is another great interview with a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is doing very well lately with Branded Bundles (as taught in the Proven Brand Building module inside the PAC) He has a full-time job, so he has to fit his online business into his spare time, but he's managed to launch several successful branded bundles (selling products that are not his brand, but are instead commonly known retail brands.) He shares his journey that starts with him doing the REPLENS model - the same model we use for nearly all new Amazon selling students. From there he grew organically into amazing bundle strategies that have flowed naturally from his initial success with REPLENS. He shares what he sells, how he finds ideas, and his tips for other sellers looking to do the same thing he's done.
