Episode description

On this episode of the 2X eCommerce Podcast, I interview Paul Miller. He is an eCommerce business expert, that helps eCommerce businesses exponentially scale their product offering and revenues through brand licensing. Paul’s story is quite interesting because he started off his ecommerce journey as an Amazon Private Label seller. He was able to build a thriving headphone brand on and off Amazon’s marketplace called CozyPhones. In a bid to take CozyPhones to the next level, he discovered brand licensing and has managed to secure licensing deals with Nickelodeon, Disney and Hasbro. This move exponentially increased CozyPhones’ revenue. He now teaches physical product entrepreneurs and direct of consumer brands how to successfully scale their revenue through licensing. He is offering a totally free mini-course called Next Level Licensing. Here is where to sign-up: https://www.nextlevellicensing.com/2xecommerce Cozy Phones brand.
