I accessed 10,000 potential customers in a Facebook group and asked them directly what they wanted before ever launching the product.

Ksenia, e-commerce entrepreneur who scaled from zero to $1.7M in annual revenue, shares her journey from Russian immigrant working in hospitality to successful multi-platform seller. She details how she learned Amazon selling through the Project X training series, recovered from her first failed product (reusable paper towels), then achieved $80-90k monthly revenue from accessories by validating demand via Facebook community engagement. She transitioned to founding KSES Store (hosting/event accessories) with strategic distribution across Amazon (70%), Canada (10%), TikTok Shop (10%), Shopify/Walmart/B2B (10%). Key insights include using Helium 10 tools for research, testing product designs via AI image generation before samples, and building a lean team of 3 (VA, social media manager, content creator).
