Martin Ronfort, the founder of DrTech, and Michael Waitze, the founder of Michael Waitze Media welcomed Florian Tep an eCommerce expert who is originally from Paris, France, and is currently living in Bali, Indonesia.
Some of the topics we discussed included:
- There is a large cohort of online shop owners that sell a lot but no one has ever heard of them
- eCommerce under the radar
- Florian’s original attempt to sell dance classes online
- How Florian promised his mother that if he could not grow his eCommerce business in 3 months, that he would look for a job
- How setting that 3-month deadline made him laser-focused and made his Mom happy
- Marketplaces can be great for a certain kind of seller, but Florian prefers to work off-platform
- How he determines which products and which markets work
- sometimes pivoting in 4 to 5 days
- Building an online community and teaching eCommerce to his community of 6,500 followers
