December 2020 kicks off the holiday shopping frenzy, and even during the pandemic people are still buying and spending hundreds of dollars on gifts online. And while most of us are spending all that cash, my guest is making THOUSANDS of dollars a day thanks to his side hustle: E-Commerce. 

He’s name is Cristian Trujillo and he’s a reservist in the US Air Force who is one of thousands of individual sellers who use e-commerce platforms like Amazon to sell stuff! 

In this episode, Cristian shares how he’s able to travel the world… make thousands of dollars per day while only working 4 hours a week. 

We also discuss all the different ways you can become a seller: Dropshipping or Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and how to make as much money than he’s making now. Cristian tells us his 3 pieces of advice for people looking to get started with e-commerce as a side hustle and he also shares his mistakes including one that cost him $20,000 and how you can avoid those pitfalls. He even shares how his 4 assistants are helping him maximize profits no matter what he sells … including fake rocks! 

Cristian came to the U.S. when he was 13 years old from Colombia and settled in Sacramento, CA. Hear how his new business is helping his family back in Colombia and how being in the military has made him a stronger entrepreneur mentality and emotionally! Take a listen and let me know what you think!
