Today we have a roundtable Dr. Ellis Whitehead, Leo Limin, Ivelin Demirov and Brandon Young. Between us, we have seen 10s of millions of data points and thousands of accounts over the years. Today we look at some of the trends and ask… Does luck play its part? For instance, how many people nail it out the gate (on every product)? Why do we often hear about hero products mixed with the also rans? Have you noticed people can kill it in one category and then cannot recreate the magic in another? What about the 2015 effect vs what happens today? These are just a few of the questions we will be discussion today.

Brandon Young
Considered by many to be one of the leaders in current Amazon
Private Label strategies, Brandon Young began selling on Amazon in
2015, as most sellers do, with arbitrage. Seeking a more scalable
business model, he pivoted to wholesale and private label. In June
of 2016 he launched his first private label brand. Less than 3
years later, he is exclusively private label, has 4 brands, and is
on pace for 8 figures in revenue. Now he splits his time between
launching his own new products and teaching others how to
effectively choose, source, and launch private label products
through his 12 week guided course, Seller Systems.
