More than 1.1 million Americans make a full-time or part-time living selling stuff on Amazon. Over 18 million sell stuff on eBay and more than 2 million sell stuff on Shopify and Etsy. For small retail or wholesale businesses, having a website is no longer enough. 

If you're not selling on online retail platforms, you're not reaching millions of potential customers. The time to start is now!

In this fast-paced, entertaining presentation, you will learn:

  • The differences between eBay, Amazon, Shopify and Etsy and the differences between Amazon’s FBA and FBM programs;

  • The types of merchandise that sell best on each platform;

  • Other places you can sell online (where you will stand out more);

  • Where to find stuff to sell after the new U.S. tariffs on China;

  • How to get started as an online seller and the pros and cons of “retail arbitrage;”

  • Legal issues you will face when selling online; and

  • Dealing with income, sales and other taxes.
