From Zero to 6-Figures: Meet the Amazon Influencer Who Did It in 12 Months


Howdy Reader!

I’m constantly amazed and encouraged by the creativity and resourcefulness of other creators.

Since I’m big into repurposing, I’ve dabbled in the Amazon Influencers program for several years. I like the idea of filming videos on things I already have purchased for the business to make a little extra cha-ching.

For me, it seemed a little like investing—not an immediate cash cow, but nickels and dimes that would stack up over time.

That led me to be trained up in the way of the Amazon Influencer by Jim and Chris, the Jedis over at Dealcasters. During this training, I got to meet some great creators who sell live on Amazon.

That’s where this week's guest comes in…

I’d seen Billy Thorpe around many of the same sellers' Facebook groups and some Zoom meetings, but what really impressed me was when we were able to hang out and chat a bit at Ecamm’s Creator Camp.

Billy has embraced what many sellers sneer at and has made that his bread and butter. His creative thinking has led to landing over 3,100 brand deals and working with 500+ e-commerce sellers.

I can’t wait for you to get a chance to ask him your questions.

So join us LIVE today at 10 am central.

See ya there,

-Jeff

Howdy Reader! I went back and listened to some of my early interviews recently, and oof. I was so busy thinking about my next question that I talked right over the best moments. Our guest this week has a fix for that, and it is simpler than you would think. Today, we're sitting down with Matt Stagliano, a portrait photographer, host of the Generator podcast, and the author of a new book called Speak Less, Get More. He has been interviewing people since 1999, and his whole method comes down to...

Howdy Reader! A little while back I wrote you about that squirrel study I'd been reading. The one where the squirrels kept climbing past the easy pumpkin seeds to reach the almonds at the top of the pole. But I left out the part of that study that's been rattling around in my head ever since. Not every squirrel climbed. The researchers noticed something. The less dominant squirrels, the ones lower in the pecking order, were way more likely to grab the easy snack instead of going for their...

Howdy Reader! Quick heads up before you go looking for us this Friday: the lights are off. No Creator News Live at 10 am. No Maker's Table at 1 pm. For this Friday, your usual lineup is taking the day off. Here's the skinny... I just wrapped up speaking at Digital Day Wichita (one of the first conferences I ever spoke at when I was a wee lad and also so cool to be back in the state I was born in!), and between that and a little scheduling snafu on our end, the timing just didn't line up for...
