A Local community for Amazon Sellers

Athena Severi co-established Titan Community, an Amazon-seller neighborhood, in 2019 with Dan Ashburn, a U.K.-centered service provider. Before that, the pair launched China Magic for product sourcing.

Titan Network hosts in-person gatherings and gives workshops, mentoring, and collaboration.

Severi and I recently mentioned Titan, selling on Amazon, and more. The overall audio of our conversation is embedded below. The transcript is edited for duration and clarity.

Eric Bandholz: What do you do?

Athena Severi: I have the major mastermind in the earth for Amazon sellers called Titan Community. I commenced my journey on Amazon 9 decades back with my own model.

I’m into creating local community. When I received into Amazon, I begun putting on dinners, situations, and seminars, and then it turned into a cruise, and then it turned into a excursion to China. It’s been a truly exciting, adventurous, nuts journey.

Where by you are at in the ecommerce journey determines your emphasis. Anyone attempting to find their first product has unique desires than somebody performing a million a month in profits. Each has unique soreness details, strengths, and focus.

How it functions. We onboard you and get started with a a person-on-a person tactic call. You get assigned to a Titan mentor, someone who’s a few steps forward of you in the video game.

A lot of entrepreneurs keep all the things near to their chest, so we have developed a world the place persons can establish belief with each other, have a couple drinks, and enjoy the environment as they kind that romance. I appreciate looking at people’s eyes light-weight up and viewing how they join. Gatherings are my contacting, what I was intended to do.

We have workshops at our activities, 3 or 4 hours. They are quite fingers-on — conversion, pay out-for each-simply click, merchandise, tactic.

All told we have about 4 or 5 occasions a year.

Severi: The first time this occurred was in China. Two of our fellas have been marketing comparable items. I took them to a place and claimed, “You have two choices. You can possibly have friction, or you can collaborate. I counsel you collaborate.”

They went to their suppliers, leveraged the measurement of their orders with each other, merged containers, and became mates. I’m not expressing that’s going to come about all the time. Healthful opposition is a fantastic factor.

There’s a lot of place for absolutely everyone on Amazon.

We have been leveraging AI for investigation. What we can do in 5 minutes with AI is insane. It applied to price countless numbers and get months.

ChatGPT can build a manufacturer from scratch — start to end — the products, suppliers, everything. Midjourney can design and style a products. It’s crazy.
