# Bugged Into E-Commerce (Tragedy Scam Turned Millions) with Carlos Alvarez

* * *

This week’s show we have Carlos Alvarez with us, I was fortunate to have met him in Miami at one of his Wizards of Amazon meetups back in 2017. He is a true entrepreneur, doing a million and one things (sounds like me a bit, but he’s even bigger in scale!) and a pleasure to have on today’s show.

So much we can talk about, he has an amazing podcast of his own you should check out – and today we are covering being CREATIVE – and not following the cookie cutter way of doing business, but instead actually taking unique ways to launch your product, to get reviews, and why events are essential.

## Topics Covered in this Episode

*   

#### Intro Carlos!
    
    The Wizard of Amazon, and the go-to guy in Miami, how are you today? Can you introduce yourself to our listeners?
    
*   

#### Events, you are an events master
    
    You are doing events, like weekly in Miami now? And have brought tons of people to the Canton Fair each year.
    
*   

#### The state of Amazon FBA and e-commerce in general in 2020
    
    Is it “too late” to sell on Amazon? People have been saying that since 2014, lol.
    
*   

#### But we do need to be more creative, as discussed in today’s show.
    
    Back in the “good old days” you could launch a new product, do giveaways, get reviews, and sales will come. Now, we need to be creative, right?
    
*   

#### Product launching in 2020
    
    What are the strategies, and the THOUGHT process behind launching a new product in this new decade?
    
*   

#### And the game, the hustle - getting product reviews
    
    How can we get reviews nowadays? Seems like we are a bunch of beggars hunting for a review
    
*   

#### More of your journey
    
    How you went through it all.
    
*   

#### How can people find you online?
    
    Thank you for sharing!
