Listen to Yulia Blinova, how her foray into the world of Amazon FBA and FBM by chance eventually helped her pursue hers and her husband’s love for travel. Launching their first product: LED charging cables at modest sales of around $20,000 per month, the husband-wife duo centered their focus on their Amazon business more over time, diving into personal protection brands soon after, including RFID blocker cards, sleeves, wallets, car key fob pouches, and more.

But running a successful business isn't without its challenges, even if it's a husband and wife team. Yulia discusses the ups and downs of working together, finding joy in building businesses, and the importance of hobbies like motorcycle riding, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding. She also prioritizes taking time to relax and recharge, like treating their team to a trip to Bali as a reward for their hard work.

As an Amazon seller, Yulia's journey offers valuable insights into the world of e-commerce. From finding the right products and suppliers to balancing work and personal life, Yulia and Sebastian's story is one of resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
