Background:
Bill launched EcomLab, a video based e-commerce training site to help people launch their own e-commerce stores, and help increase store profits. They teach everything from how to find a profitable niche, sourcing from suppliers, how to buy and sell e-commerce stores, SEO, PPC, conversion optimization, email marketing, and more.
Billy started buying and starting e-commerce stores back in 2011. It was hard to figure out everything since he had no experience in that space yet. He spent hours and hours searching for the information he needed, but he couldn’t find it all in one place. Fast forward to August 2012, and he made a post on his blog: http://foreverjobless.com/how-to-get-lucky-in-e-commerce/.
Billy got about 100 emails from people asking the same questions he was asking when he got started. He still didn’t know where to send people for the answers, because what he thought they needed didn’t exist. He decided to look into solving the need by creating what eventually became EcomLab.
