Podcast appearances and mentions of robert weisberg

Robert and his brother, Tom, started a mail-order business in their basement while in high school. They sold baseball cards and advertised in trade publications in the 80's. Their business model shifted to Ecommerce in early 2012, where they started on eBay, and later moved to Amazon. In this interview, he talks about how to get your maximum ROI by focusing on Amazon. Key Takeaways In this interview you'll learn these from Robert: Ecommerce didn't reinvent something that wasn't there. The difference was taking something from the analog world over to the digital world. If something hasn't worked for you, it doesn't mean it won't work for someone else. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't warn others of it. Network with people who've gone ahead of you because you may not see the future , but they can. Invest in a passive way that's “safe.” Where you don't have to worry about the management , collection, or operational end of it. Don't think that since you were successful in Amazon, it must translate to every other business because e-commerce and Amazon are far different. Ecommerce allows you to see if you'll succeed in a business in a relatively quick period of time. Each business has to look at their model and what they're selling and be aware of everything around them as much as possible. When you own the customer, especially with selling online, you can do more down the line. It's extremely difficult and problematic to sell branded items on Walmart compared to Amazon because of the size and depth of their catalog. The flat file contains some obsolete items that might confuse the a new seller, but you can customize it carefully and make your templates.

What have we learned from the Congressional hearings into the January 6 storming of the Capitol and then-President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election? Join Stanford criminal law expert Professor Robert Weisberg for a discussion of the hearings—what we learned and who might face criminal charges.

The January 6th committee will continue its series of public hearings next week.  Has the committee made the case for a criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump, based on his possible liability for the insurrection at the Capital last year, and the attempt to subvert the 2020 election? Joining Tom now is Robert Weisberg.  He's a professor of criminal law at the Stanford Law School and a founder and faculty co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, which does research on criminal law and the criminal justice system. He joins us on Zoom from his office in Stanford, California.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an episode I wish we didn't have to record. Competition on Amazon is getting stiffer and stiffer and some sellers, in order to succeed, use the short cut and employ black-hat tactics--killing the business of other sellers mercilessly, if need be. In this episode we discuss in detail how these black-hat tactics work. I invited three Amazon sellers who actually went through the grueling experience of being victims to competitors who have no moral compass. We are doing this in the hopes that we spread awareness of what is happening, especially since Amazon doesn't seem to care much. Below is an overview what we discussed: How Kevin Chen, who sells items in the health and beauty market, fell victim to fake reviews and fake comments on nearly all of his reviews How Chris Nowak, founder of My PPC Pal, got accused of selling counterfeits of a product he developed and manufactured himself Robert Weisberg's baffling case against Amazon itself (or someone selling via Amazon Vendor Express) How they tried to resolve their cases and how Amazon responded (spoiler alert: they weren't of any help at all) Lately we noticed that these black hat practices are getting more and more prevalent. What's sad is Amazon mostly only cares about buyers and much less about sellers. It seems that they are okay with letting honest sellers lose, as long as they get their commissions. We want to spread as much awareness as possible about what's happening, and if we band together, we can make a big difference.
