On this episodes of the Physical Product Business Podcast, I interview Kevin King –  a physical product Amazon entrepreneurs currently turning over over $1 million / year without any full-time employees. Kevin also runs the Illuminati Mastermind, a course that showcases advanced Amazon FBA strategies and tactics .
Kevin has 9 products, 5 brands in 5 categories with 5 separate brand registry in one Amazon account. He has been selling as an FBA Amazon seller since 2015 but has been selling on Amazon since 2006.
He is getting married next year so he is working now to get everything lined up.
He does all his hiring on Upwork. He usually looks for people who are motivated and like doing what they do.
