In today’s episode, Jeff begins a series of shows exploring people who have created businesses based on their skills. In this show, Jeff interviews Andrey Kozlov.
Andrey and Jeff discuss:
- How Andrey started his career in Digital Marketing right out of college. Having to support a new family, he was not making enough money.
- Andrey decided to begin selling things on Facebook Marketplace which led him to look for opportunities in the Drop Shipping Industry.
- After some experimentation, Andrey was able to replace his job income with his own Freedom Engine and has never had to go back to a Job.
- Andrey has since gone on to expand his business beyond Facebook Marketplace on to Ebay, Amazon, and Etsy.
- Andrey has now gone on to create a program that teaches others to start profitable drop shipping businesses.
