How did you even get started in this?<br> Cynthia:<br><br> I was a business consultant for many years and over twenty five I … A long time and I actually started selling on Amazon in 2010 because I needed extra income which is why a lot of people do it. I had ten hours a week to do it. I had no time and this turned out to be the perfect business for somebody who had no time and I only needed about fifteen hundred a month, it wasn't like I was going to build an empire at the time; I just needed a little extra money. That's how I got started in 2010 and I had so many people say, “Well, how's that Amazon thing doing?” Also wanted me to talk about it that I wrote a book about it in 2011, came out early 2012 and that was my Make Thousands on Amazon in 10 Hours a Week. Because of that book, it all led one thing to another, I did a little of consulting. People would hire me and they'd say, “Hey, tell me why I'm not making money here?” Or, “Why isn't this product selling?” Stuff like that.<br> In 2014, what happened was I started to get people who were suspended saying, “Can you get me reinstated?” I thought, “Well, I definitely will try.” I had not done it before but I just dived into it as a business consultant , I do understand a lot of … I can read a contract for example … I understand a lot of these things. I know how businesses get in trouble and I know how they get out.
