#199 – Amazon Selling Mindset, Using Influencers, 3D Rendering, and Other Tips from Down Under

As Amazon continues to grow, it seems like there isn’t a part of the world where e-commerce strategies aren’t openly discussed on Facebook, Zoom calls, or other social media meetups. 

Selling on Amazon has become part of our vocabulary. 

The accents might be different, but in this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Helium 10’s Director of Training and Chief Brand Evangelist, Bradley Sutton welcomes two Australian Amazon sellers who have gone on to establish on of the biggest Amazon-focused Facebook groups on the continent.
