No one really knew what being an Amazon seller was. And back then there were no courses, there was no Amazon software. And so I started building this Amazon drop shipping business. But if I contacted US manufacturers that didn’t know e-commerce, they would keep my credit card on file and they would send the product wherever I needed it to go directly to the customer. What if I drop ship, essentially? Although I didn’t know it was actually called drop shipping until years later. So I started experimenting and I said, Hey, I don’t have money to buy inventory. It was just this big bookstore that was just getting into other products. But I had this Amazon account and back then, no one really knew what Amazon was. And I didn’t want to get kicked out of college, so I had to pivot. Well, my college catches on and they send me a cease and desist letter telling me to stop competing with their bookstore. And before I knew it, I had lines out the door of people trying to sell me their books. I created an affiliate program with my my college peers. I didn’t have a lot of money to buy textbooks up front, but I was hustling. And I, I didn’t really have a that much room to store textbooks. Speaker2: People’s textbooks, competing with the school bookstore. So, I mean, I started off as a broke college kid looking for extra money, and I started buying and selling.
