EP 69: Solopreneur Profitably Selling £1m+ a year on Amazon UK with Retail Arbitrage & Private Label w/ Saj Gilani [PART 1]

My third guest on this month’s Amazon Seller Success Series is Saj Gilani, our first UK-based expert Amazon seller to the show. Saj started selling on Amazon in 2011 with only £300 pounds and a 37.5% APR credit card. Fast-forward four years on and he's running a seven-figure Amazon business split between private label and retail arbitrage. He has also co-founded and is managing and consulting four other Amazon accounts for split-profits. He has a podcast and blog, Anybody Can Do It, and an academy where he trains and mentors students to sell on Amazon. This is part 1 of my interview with Saj, which went for over 2 hours and hence this episode is split into two parts. In this half being the first hour,  Saj shares his strategies with retail arbitrage initially, and then with regards to the creative and highly successful launch of his private label. We then touch upon different ways the Saj continues to evolve and expand in his business. We finish this half of the show on Saj’s outlook and tips for both retail arbitrage and private label on Amazon. The insights and advice Saj shares here are grounded in business fundamentals and hard-earned experience. Saj’s fascinating story of building an Amazon business from zero and constantly adapting and evolving with a positive outlook on an ever-changing landscape is inspiring, and not to be missed!   Read the show notes for this episode on http://2xecommerce.com/podcast/ep69/   Message from Our Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by Salsify.
