Get Started! Launching and Selling Your Physical Products Online

Are you a maker trying to figure out how to get your product out to the world? Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of options? Amazon? Shopify? Is it easier just to wholesale it to other stores?

Come talk to people that have been through it! This panel discussion includes people who have succeeded at launching products through ecommerce, with a heavy focus on Q&A from the audience.

Learn how a CrossFit gym, a part time job, and a fortune cookie turned into a successful ecommerce store in a small Colorado town! Learn how someone who had zero product experience was able to successfully launch and succeed in a competitive category on Amazon! Learn how to leverage social media into a successful marketing strategy!

If you've ever wondered how to develop a product, target a niche, or market and sell your products online, we have the experience!

Ideal for New Makers or Solo-Entrepreneurs! We want to encourage new sellers to launch, delight people, and get sales!
