About Oleg Zaidiner:

A few years ago, I wondered how so many people were living and working at exotic beaches all around the world.

And after speaking to a few of them, I found the answer – they sold products on Amazon.

So in 2015, after selling my business, Deal Angel, that helped people find great deals for hotel rooms using the power of big data, I decided to start my own Amazon business.

But it wasn’t long before I noticed a problem…

Before launching products, you need detailed and accurate market data – otherwise, you won’t know if you have any chance of success.

But when I looked at the existing tools for Amazon sellers, I felt underwhelmed. All of them seemed too simple.

Coming from a background of data science, I knew that while some of the tools looked pretty, none of them had the accuracy of data or depth of analysis you actually need if you want to launch a product with confidence.

That’s when I knew I’d need to make my own solution.

At first, I created a messy spreadsheet that crunched all the complex data for me. But soon it grew into an advanced tool that I used to analyze markets and launch my products on Amazon.

With my products each selling 100+ pieces/day, I began to travel and work around the world with my family. Thanks to selling on Amazon, we’ve lived in Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Ukraine, and Israel to name a few.

In 2016, I decided to help other people achieve this too so I shared my tool in a few Facebook groups and AmazeOwl was born!

Since then, we’ve steadily grown and now AmazeOwl helps over 4,000 people every month take the first steps in starting their own Amazon business.

He’s been immersed in the world of Amazon advertising ever since. Fast forward to the present and the agency he founded, AMZ Pathfinder, manages $250,000+ in ad spend every month across all North American and EU marketplaces while delivering results for happy clients.

Presenting: Product inserts that build an audience and help to launch products

Peter grew up in Germany and decided to move to his home country Romania at the age of 24. He quitted his jobs in Germany and worked in Romania instead for a $300 salary just to put himself in the hardest position in Europe, so he could demonstrate himself and others, that everything is possible. After 2 years of struggling with low income he started his Amazon journey (year 2015) with no prior knowledge in e-commerce or basic English, 2 little kids, no money and very little time because of his full time job. Despite these obstacles, he was very determined to succeed and to live a free life. He and his wife decided to borrow money from the bank to be able to buy the ASM course, started that course and then to fly to Las Vegas, so they could learn from the bests. After 7 months Peter quitted his job and reached 8k profit per month, which means 26 times more than his previous salary. One of his biggest desires is building a strong community of powerful entrepreneurs and creating a new world with a new system. Today Peter makes $2 million per year in sales with his Amazon business and created a program called “The Culture Of Achievement” which offers Breakthrough Amazon Mastermind Coaching and – once a year it unites sellers around the world for one of the top Amazon workshops worldwide.

Presenting: Winning by Being Local

Dainius Liulys is one of the founders of online store Pigu.lt and e-commerce leaders in Lithuania, recently announced about the launch of a local marketplace platform.

In 2007, D. Liulys established an e-shop in Lithuania, opened 220.lv in Latvia (2011) and Kaup24.ee in Estonia (2013). Under his leadership, the Pigu Group online stores are currently the most popular in the Baltic states, surpassing the world-famous e-commerce players. Early September this year, it was announced that e-shops become an open marketplace platform for other local sellers as well.

Over a decade gained working experience in e-commerce and good knowledge of the specifics of the Baltic markets are the key topics that D. Liulys has been presenting at various conferences, such as eTail. In his opinion, the Baltic markets have potential, and the experience and tools used by local players, which are currently difficult to access for the biggest players in global e-commerce, can help exploit this.

Her entrepreneurial journey will take us through her experience of brick & mortar retail, wholesale and online activity in both – Western & Eastern Europe, where she is originally from.

Her product line, like no other, is driven by local culture, customs, economics, social norms, and even religion. She strongly believes that Amazon is just a vehicle, a delivery channel to the end buyer, rather than one global marketplace where “one size fits all”.
