Entrepreneurs don't start an ecommerce business with accounting as their first priority. Unless they're an accountant, or if they're really into numbers, there's simply just more exciting things to look forward to in ecommerce, whether it's launching a new product or brainstorming launch strategies to get more and more sales. It's only human to go after the more exciting things in business. Howeve...

Welcome to the 317th episode of the Ecomcrew Podcast! We've got an exciting podcast lined up for you today. Almost a year ago today, we released our famous Ecomcrew Roadshow, a new segment where we help ecommerce entrepreneurs come up with a plan to take their businesses to the next level.

Welcome to the 316th episode of the Ecomcrew Podcast! Isn't it crazy how half the year has already gone by? Not to mention that we've been in quarantine for almost a quarter now, but things are starting to open up, so that must mean some good is finally going to come around.

Today's episode is an Under the Hood with our friend, Lori Howard from Skintech! Lori is a pharmacist and entrepreneur who decided to break into the Skin Care industry after she d...

Most ecommerce startups follow a similar startup story. We didn't do that great in school, so we didn't follow the traditional college degree path. We were hungry to survive so we jumped into the workforce right from a young age, which we were unhappy with and then discovered the opportunity to sell products online through Amazon or eBay.  You guys may or may not know it, but I'm actually speaking...

Most ecommerce entrepreneurs make their debut in the industry as start ups who ordered their products in China, had them shipped over and started selling them on Amazon.  But not for Jaryd.  Jaryd Krause's story and how he made his way into ecommerce was an interesting one. He started off his own online business as an entrepreneur, but realised that juggling so many things at one time maybe wasn't...

Last week I sat down with Andrew Youderian to talk about his new investment venture called ECF Capital . You might also recall me mentioning that I'm on the lookout for my next ecommerce business . If you own an ecommerce business, the Covid-19 crisis probably made you feel uneasy as many ecommerce entrepreneurs surely do. And hearing about these investment and buyout ventures might have led you t...

Happy Monday! I hope that you're doing well and staying safe in these crazy times.  Keeping an ecommerce business afloat while also going through a pandemic is quite the challenge. With the borders closed, Amazon FBA services delayed and most 3PLs either closed or working at low capacity, it's definitely a challenging start to the year for most, if not all of us entrepreneurs.  One thing that's go...

An online service business can be very different when compared to an ecommerce business. Each can offer some valuable selling experience, but they're not really 100% alike. With that being said, there's so much to learn about when first going into selling on Amazon.  Today's guest is just about to make that same transition. Gerard Noonan has been an online service entrepreneur for 8 years now, but...

The Coronavirus is probably one of the biggest topics that everyone's talking about right now, and for good reason. It's affecting everyone's mentality, health, and for us e-commerce sellers, it's attacking our own livelihood. Supply chains in China have been disrupted, Amazon has paused its fulfilment services, slowing down delivery times to a crawl for customers.  It's a frustrating time for all...

Today, we're joined by Lianna Patch of Punchline Copy and SNAP Copy . Lianna was one of the speakers during ECF Live this year, and even though I didn't really have an initial interest in the subject of copywriting, her presentation easily became one of my favourites because of how funny and entertaining it was. So, after hearing her talk, I knew I had to get her on the show.  In this episode, I s...

Welcome to the Ecomcrew Podcast, and greetings again from California!

We have Kelcey Lehrich from 365 Holdings on th...

Welcome to the Ecomcrew Podcast and greetings from Irvine, California! We're still here, establishing some roots and it's very different compared to last year where we were all over the place, doing our travelling but now that the new year's come, it feels really good to be able to stay in one spot for a while and leave the hectic travelling lifestyle behind us for a bit.  For today's episode, I w...
