Beginning with his childhood Lego hobby and early online engagement, Miles recounts how a chance encounter at a Lego convention led him into reselling sneakers, initially through Facebook groups and later on platforms like StockX and GOAT. More significantly, his exposure to Amazon FBA through online ads and influencers like Gary Vee spurred a transition into online arbitrage, initially with books and then expanding into other product categories. For instance, his early success with books, despite the challenges of sourcing inventory during the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled his growth on social media, attracting a large following and collaborations with other prominent Amazon sellers. As the discussion pivoted to his strategies, Miles emphasizes the importance of consistent content creation, networking, and leveraging online communities to accelerate growth. Ultimately, his story highlights the power of consistent action, building a personal brand, and actively seeking out mentorship and collaboration within online communities to achieve entrepreneurial success in the competitive Amazon marketplace.
