Contrary to the expression “Money is no obstacle,” for many start-up entrepreneurs, it’s actually the biggest hump to overcome when getting started. So many great ideas and brands fail to come to fruition mainly because of one factor: funding, or the lack thereof.
In this episode, we have Asher Ismail of Uncapped to share with us what the company he co-founded does, how ecommerce entrepreneurs can get capital for their businesses and what important factors come into play during the process.

In a massive ecommerce platform like Amazon where there are literally thousands of results for every product search, getting your business clicked on (and added to cart) is a challenge.
For this episode, I am joined by Seller Rocket’s Eric Suddarth to talk about how editorial recommendations work on Amazon and how you can utilize the Onsite Associates Program.

Mike catches up with PostPilot’s Drew Sanocki to talk about spotting opportunities in business, the bullishness of SaaS, and the efficacy of real mail in today’s environment.
Ever since I attended eCommerceFuel Live five or six years ago, I’ve always admired Drew Sanocki for his knowledge and experience in the business.
Drew is the founder and executive chairman of PostPilot, a service that aims to help businesses grow through direct mail by creating personalized postcard campaigns.

With our businesses fortunately well and stable, we thought it was high time we worked on a new project – this time, as business partners!
Dave and I have always talked about working on a business together, but we never really came up with anything concrete.
That is until we stumbled upon this hidden gem of sorts: Knitting.com. Although we absolutely have zero expertise on the subject matter, we saw potential in it and the audience it has.
We weren’t on the same page initially, but after a trip to Palm Springs (and a shot or two), we eventually agreed that this was a good move and a worthy investment.
We’re starting – or should I say ‘stitching’ – a new chapter in our careers and we couldn’t be more excited. We hope you’ll join us along for the ride.

New year, new business venture. We hope you’re just as pumped as we are about this exciting project of ours. We can’t wait to officially launch the site and products later this year. For now, check out Dave's blog post on how we ended up choosing this domain name.

As the pandemic continues to drag on, running a successful ecommerce business is not without its challenges. 2021 may not have been the COVID-free year Dave and I wanted for our businesses, but that’s not to say it was all bad.
It wasn’t an easy year, but looking back, there were plenty of reasons to celebrate too, which we will talk about in this episode – and we may or may not discuss a little bit about our new but still secret new business.
Timestamps:
2021 was quite the year, huh? There were some moments of adversity there, but we persevered. Now that we’ve begun a new year, we’re looking forward to better days for business and an auspicious launch of our new brand, which will come very soon.
That’s a wrap for this week’s podcast. You guys know the drill: leave us a review over on iTunes if you enjoy our content. Make sure to tune in to next week’s episode as it will be quite a special one. Happy selling!
