Amazon continues to bloom as a juggernaut in eCommerce. They are opening a $1.5 billion new air cargo hub in the Cincinnati market to help with same-day deliveries. Most people are consumers of Amazon, or maybe even stock investors, but few understand how to make money on the eCommerce side of the business.
To learn more about making passive income on Amazon, we connected with an eCommerce entrepreneur, Mike Begg. Mike started out in the commercial retail sector before seeing the opportunity with eCommerce. He started selling low-cost items like ebooks before creating a full-fledged business. Now, he helps others and runs a digital marketing agency dedicated to advertising on Amazon.
In this episode, he shares thoughts on retail and consumer behavior, how to get started making money on Amazon, and insights to grow an eCommerce business.
