In 2001, I left my job to go full-time with my online ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Over the last 20 years, I&#8217;ve created and marketed many digital e-learning products and worked extensively in blogging and affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I started selling on Amazon in the spring of 2013.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/theomcarthur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Theo-MC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theomcarthur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Theo-MC.jpg 398w, https:\/\/theomcarthur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Theo-MC-284x300.jpg 284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Before 2013, I&#8217;d never sold any physical products online. I&#8217;m still an affiliate marketer. However, I always wanted to sell my <em>own<\/em> products, too, and Amazon was the obvious place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Starting on Amazon without the guidance of an experienced seller can be tough, and the courses I took were incomplete and missing certain vital parts of the &#8216;puzzle.&#8217; I learned more through trial and error than anything else, which prompted me to create a step-by-step blueprint for success on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A year after starting on Amazon, I also set up my own independent e-commerce store (an asset that could be sold in the future).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teaching on Udemy is probably the most satisfying thing I do. Being able to help others learn life-changing techniques and business models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sometimes, I get asked how I manage to get so much done. It&#8217;s simply a case of organization and prioritizing (is that a word? Anyway, I&#8217;m sure you know what I mean!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Nowadays, I have full-time and part-time assistants. However, when I first started, it was just me and a young family to look after at the same time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>If you want something badly enough and are motivated enough, you will find a way to&nbsp;make it happen!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name&#8217;s Theo McArthur, and I&#8217;ve been working online since 1995.
