Hey there, I’m Mike McClary with Amazing.com. And while recording in Hawaii, I had the opportunity to sit down with Justin and Channing Dyson. A young couple from Nevada, Texas who have built an incredible half-million dollar a month business on Amazon. Check out the following interview where they share their journey toward building their business and offer some valuable advice for anyone looking to do the same.
So, I’ve kind of already given away that you guys have been pretty successful already. But what I want to talk about is what life was like before you actually had this business. So, what were you both doing before you had the business? Oh, my goodness, so, life before Amazing Selling Machine I was working about fifty hours a week just trying to pay all the bills. We were twenty-four.
Yup. We were ASM 4, so 2014, twenty-four living in a starter home that my grandma actually helped us buy ’cause we couldn’t even buy it on our own. And we had a four-year-old so really just trying to figure out how to make money, make the ends meet.
And get through the day to day. And what were you doing, Justin?
Yeah, I was, at the time I was going back to college. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I was working part-time for my dad I was in college and that’s pretty much when stumbled across ASM. So what was it about your life back then that made you look for something like this or were you looking or did it come across your plate? I think we knew like the type of lifestyle that we wanted, we just didn’t know how to get there.
So, we just weren’t really sure what to do or how to do it. So that day when I came home, he had watched the videos and he’s like beaming ear to ear sitting on our bed like “Please come over here you have to watch these videos!” So I came in and watched the videos and it really just sounded like that would give us the lifestyle that we really wanted. I was looking for something. I didn’t know what I was looking for.
She already had a career. She was like up and going. She knew what she wanted to do her whole life. And you know when you’re in high school and you’re eighteen and you’re seventeen whatever you know the not principal, but the counselor asks you “what do you want to do?” And it’s like “I have no idea.” So, I ended up going to like the fire academy and EMT school and doing that thing and that didn’t work out. And then went to work for her dad for a few years and that didn’t work out.
Worked for my dad, then I was in college just trying to figure things out so just the thought of having something else that was mine, something that I could grow with and be more than what I was, that’s what appealed to me. It’s the first time we did anything that we could actually scale. We’d pretty much taken over the salon she worked at so we kind of owned that at the time.
But it had already been started. This was the first thing we started from ground zero completely by ourselves. So, what was it like looking for this first product that was really successful for you guys? So, I was actually pregnant at the time with our second child. And I had told Justin there was this product I was really passionate about.
I really wanted one really bad, all my friends were buying them.
And so that was how it kind of started and I just told Justin “Hey, I really love this what do you think?” And he put it through ASM’s criteria and he said “Oh my gosh, babe, this is actually a really good one”. Basically, just looking, doing everything ASM teaches. Putting my product ideas through the, you know, my spreadsheet with my list of products and she’s like “Well why don’t you do these?
These are really popular” and they weren’t around when we had our first child.
So, I was like “Okay, I’ll look it up” and she was she was right, it was a good opportunity. And that’s pretty much how we found our first (mumbles). Awesome, so you figured out what your product was going to be. Did that also lead to building a brand with that product?
That was definitely one thing we wanted to do. We didn’t want to have a bunch of different products that we sold. Even though, yes, you could make a lot of money that way, I wanted to actually have a brand. Right.
Something that you know made it easier to grow (mumbles) Yeah so essentially, we liked the niche and decided we definitely wanted to start out with a brand that we were passionate about.
Or I’d say I’m passionate about ’cause I’m more our customer. But, yeah, we definitely went more brand focused. So you found this product and your excited about it. The next step then is finding a supplier.
What was that like for you guys?
So, it was interesting because I found some stuff on Alibaba and I found you know just three or four suppliers I found at the time. And I messaged them all and I think I only got one reply or two replies. And I ended up going with one of the guys and really weren’t that difficult you just kinda go back and forth. There’s a time zone difference so you’re talking to him in the morning, then at night. And then sometimes they’ll go, they’ll send you a message during your daytime which is going to be their night.
So just going back and forth getting everything situated. We got some samples, confirmed that we liked the quality and that everything was good. And placed an order shortly after. And for that order did you order a ton of products or how many did you start off with? No, we didn’t have a ton of money so I think in that first order was $800 if I’m remembering correctly, about that much.
So, you got your brand, you got your first product, you find your supplier. How soon did it take to start selling, was it a week, was it months? That was the exciting part…
