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 P.S. Stay on top of your online meetings without breaking the bank! Ecamm’s new Zoom integration is a total game-changer, and with competitive pricing, top-tier support, and an incredible community, you get unbeatable value.

Howdy Reader! Selling stinks. When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services. I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust. So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services? Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!” Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging...
Howdy Reader! I read a great word in a book that I really identified with. The author was talking about how when they’re stressed about putting content out, they tend to “procrasti-tinker” with tools instead of finishing up the project. Man. I’ve been there… Creating content is HARD! And it feels like something in our lizard brain fights us every step of the way. That’s why learning from people who have fought off the dilly-dallying dinos and are content-creation machines is essential. That’s...
Howdy Reader! First of all, during this season of egg nog imbibing, Christmas cookie baking, last-minute present panicking, and fruitcake regifting, I want to pause and say thank you! Thank you for being a part of this newsletter community. One of the best gifts is opening my computer the day after an email goes out and getting a chance to respond to people who have replied to the newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to chat. It means a lot. Now, on to some cool new tools I had a chance...
