In Celebration of my 75th Episode, I have three episodes on earning money and being happy while podcasting dropping this week. I will drop one episode every other day.
As a part of our “Start a Business. Make Money Online. Be Happy” creators series, on this episode of The Man Versus Brand podcast, we speak to Lesley Hensell, the co-founder and co-owner of Riverbend Consulting, where she oversees the firm's client services team. We discuss how you can take control of your life, lead your family and grow your business selling one product at a time. She has personally helped hundreds of third-party Amazon sellers get their accounts and ASINs back up and running. Lesley leverages two decades as a small business consultant to advise clients on profitability and operational performance. She has been an Amazon seller for more than a decade, thanks to her boys (20 and 14) who do most of the heavy lifting. Lesley is the perfect person to dive into the possibilities of how you can make money online, not only with your podcast but with merchandise and products. If you want to learn how you can go from your current life to producing revenue streams online, this is the episode for you.
“Your margins are anywhere from 15 to 30 percent. You are looking for something where you have repeated sales over time and then you launch a second product, a third product. You don’t have to sell 100 units a day to have a really nice income stream and some nice margin. You just need regular sales where you are ordering every three to four months.” - Lesley Hensell on starting a business with marketplaces, particularly Amazon.
