Larry Lubarsky is from Brooklyn, New York. He is an Amazon seller. He started his business back in 2014 utilizing Amazon FBA, a wholesale business model, and a lot of hard work. Over the last 3 and a half years he scaled his business from an initial $50,000 investment, into over $10,000,000 in sales. Annually.
In January of 2017 while watching a Gary Vee video, he was inspired to start documenting his journey on Instagram. The purpose was to inspire, help people, and just give them a behind the scenes look at a real 8-figure Amazon business. Now Larry is super excited for this next chapter, starting a Amazon wholesale based YouTube channel.

Notable Quote:
“The main thing when working with the brand or with the distributor is not even so much who the actual distributor is. It’s having the ability to negotiate discounts because without discounts you are going to find it extremely tough to find a good selection of profitable products that you want to carry.”
