Every entrepreneur wants to know the keys to launching a successful ecommerce startup. What about the challenge of starting from scratch and working up to eight-figure revenue? This process is difficult but not impossible, and few know this better than Nathan Hirsch.

Starting in his college dorm room, Nathan quickly built his side hustle into a full-blown business. Since then, he has started and successfully operated several other companies using the same winning principles. One of his more recent ventures is Outsource School, having scaled the business from zero to eight figures of income. Now he explains the process he uses that makes his companies thrive.

On this episode of the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast, Guillaume Le Tual talks with Nathan Hirsch, the Co-founder of Outsource School, the Co-founder and CEO of EcomBalance, and the Co-founder of FreeeUp, about his advice and strategies for launching his businesses from the ground up. They talk about Nathan’s entrepreneurial background, the internal structures his teams used, and how they got the word out about their brand. They also take time to break down Outsource School’s approach to hiring and freelancing.

Even before the time of the COVID-19 crisis, the practice of hiring VAs from all over the world had already become common practice, and the crisis only served to expand the practice in more fields. Hiring VAs can be a delicate process because you're entrusting so much to people you've never even met, but once you've established things properly, it should go off without a hitch. Domenic Rinaldi is joined by Nathan Hirsch, who is an entrepreneur, an expert in remote hiring and eCommerce, and the co-founder of the acclaimed platform, FreeeUp.com. Nathan speaks to Domenic about what to look for when you're hiring VAs to ensure a great partnership. Hiring VAs is a great practice to continue your business expansion, so why don't you give it a try?

This episode is the first in a two-part interview with Connor Gillivan of Freeeup.com.  We started out with a focus on what he has learned as an entrepreneur at a couple of businesses.  We discuss five ways to streamline your work that are easy to implement and highly cost-effective.  I had a great time talking to him and hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation.

Spoiler Alert

I am not going to spill the beans yet.  However, these steps have a cost associated with them.  We discuss the costs during the episode but I want to mention that the cost of not taking some of these steps is likely far more than the cost of doing so.  Before you reject any of these ideas as "too costly" I recommend you try them out.  You may find yourself wishing you had tried this years ago.  

Connor Gillivan

He is a 27-year-old serial entrepreneur that started out of his college dorm room.  He has sold over $25 million on Amazon and has grown FreeeUp.com over 500% in the past year.  Connor is a published author and runs his own blog (ConnorGillivan.com).  He lived and worked 2 summers in South Africa building social businesses in extremely impoverished communities before starting my first business.  If that is not enough, he has also been featured on over 30 podcasts in the past year.  These include:

Entrepreneurs are some of the most dedicated, driven, & passionate people. They struggle with finding the proper balance between running their daily business and serving their customers. Sell more and save valuable time and money.

Today I want to talk to you about something that stifles literally every brand out there, not having enough hours in the day. Seriously, who wouldn't appreciate having more time to do the things that we want to do? The things that we're passionate about, or the things that really help drive our business forward? That's what today's stories are about. This affects everyone, including me. I've noticed that with help, I'm able to get a lot more accomplished. I'm able to serve you, my community, much better as a result. I see this with brands that I work with as well. This includes those young entrepreneurs that are doing everything possible to pinch pennies, while growing their business. 

Now, certainly I'm not advocating spending money that you don't have. But the simple reality is this, if you can find a way to hire someone to take some of the mundane, routine tasks off your plate, that's going to give you more freedom to do the things that grow your business. Then the next step is to hire people that can take away or take over some of those projects that distract you from running your business, from being successful. At the end of the day, consumers buy your brand because they love what it stands for, what you stand for. Shoppers want what they want, I say that all the time. Shoppers want to know that they can go into the store and find your product. 

If you have something distracting you from getting your product into the hands of more consumers, well, that hurts both you and the consumers really trying to help support you. Think about it. In today's story, Connor reached out to me and shared with me some of the growing pains he had when he was starting a business. In his effort to solve those problems, he created a side business, which actually now is his full time business. But the point is this, he found a way to uncork that bottleneck. He found a way to help him drive sales, and make time for what was important, supporting his customers.

This is the focus of today’s podcast, being laser focused on giving your customer the extraordinary support they need and deserve while removing any distractions that could be handled by someone else.
