AOA 141 | Tom Edwards | The HitchHiker’s Guide To Ecommerce

“We would go on google maps, find a green area, and set up a pirate camp”- Tom Edwards

Tom Edwards went from broke hitchhiking street musician to Ecommerce maganate in just a few short months. He is on the podcast to discuss his latest book, Two Bucks to Timbuktu.

Tom is full of hilarious stories – he has a habit of putting himself into situations where he has no choice but to succeed. There was the time when he was volunteering in a hostel in South America and had only $50 to his name and spent all of it on an Ecommerce course.

Tom is on the show to teach you a series of skills for your portable online businesses such as drop shipping, affiliate marketing, SEO, Pinterest, Shopify and lots more.

You will also hear some great stories form Tom about making money as a street musician throughout Europe, hosting rooftop concerts, hitchhiking with drug dealers, and sleeping under bridges.
