Amazon Podcast 'This is Small Business - S2' is a Hit
‘This is Small Business’, an official Amazon podcast produced and hosted by Andrea Marquez, is gaining tremendous popularity among listeners. The podcast guides small sellers to grow their businesses by sharing experiences of successful seller enterpreuners.
“We were blown away by listeners’ response to Season One of This is Small Business, and we’re excited to continue producing valuable content that helps current and future entrepreneurs take their business ideas to the next level,” said Andrea Marquez, host and producer of the podcast.
Key takeaways for small businesses from the Second season of the podcast:
Know your “why” to tell a better story:
Toyin Kolawole, a seller on Amazon (featured in the Episode Eleven of Season Two) says, ‘’Without having a clear ‘why’ that you can communicate to your team and customers, it’s like navigating a ship in the dark without a north star.’’ Knowing your ‘why’ and telling it to customers can help them connect with your brand.
Protect yourself and your ideas
Another important tip is that ‘everything’ must be in writing. If someone is running a partnership business, it is advisable to consult a lawyer and financial team to draft a solid contract. A solid contract can take you through the inevitable ups and downs of business partnerships, suggests the co-founders of SwiftPaws, who decided to part ways.
You can’t be everything to everyone
The third piece of advice given by Justin Forsett, CEO of Hustle Clean is that find your core customers and make them happy. Give first priority to understanding them and then consider what expanding your customer base could look like.
Avoid scaling before you’re ready
Christina Wallace from Harvard Business School says ‘You can’t aim for the moon without a rocket ship’. So before you start growing and pushing your business, think about what you need to make everything happen. And sometimes, growth isn’t the objective—and that’s OK. Christina Wallace is featured in the Second episode of Season Two of the Podcast.
Fund your business by bootstrapping:
Detara Williams from Darlyng & Co. started bootstrapping her business and then also pitched for grants and other ways to fund her business. She experienced that arranging funds is one of the most challenging obstacles entrepreneurs face in getting their business ideas off the ground. Her interview is featured in the podcast's third episode of season two.
Know your supply chain:
Knowing your supply chain is a very crucial part of online selling. Knowing fulfillment gaps and timely resolving the problems of the supply chain can make the process more efficient. The podcast featured Oliver Crane and Ash Heather (Season Two, Episode Eight), and Chevalo and Monique Wilsondebriano (Season Two, Episode Seven), who elaborate on this important part of fulfillment that can affect your business strategy and goals.
