Our Story
When starting my first online business, I found myself sifting through mountains of blog posts only to find half baked answers on growing an eBay business.
In other words, the information was surface-level, and didn’t dive deep into the topic and explain the actual steps to get there… a.k.a the tactics.
After countless mistakes and spending far too much on postage my first few months, I eventually figured it out, and have now sold thousands on eBay alone.
I chalked up this learning experience as a 1 time thing.
But to my surprise, the same cycle kept happening whether learning about other side hustles, paying down debt, or career growth. It didn’t take long to realize I wasn’t the only one going on wild goose chases across the internet for answers… I knew there needed to be a better solution.
Trends and Tactics aims to demystify business and finance topics so you can be more successful and live the life you want.
