#008 - Christian Winstanley - founder of Bare Bar - How To Actually Start An E-Commerce Brand

Welcome back to the podcast. Today I'm talking to an old college friend of mine and a former bandmate, Christian Winstanley. Christian is the founder of Bare Bar Soap. This is an episode full of tactical information for online brands and e-commerce. So if you have or are interested in starting an e -com business, then this is going to be a great resource for you.

We chat about how Christian manages his business from anywhere in the world, the importance of building relationships with suppliers, tips on choosing an e-commerce platform, including why Shopify might not be the best option to start with. We also talked about the nuts and bolts of trademarking a brand, something which I had not considered. Christian's thoughts on video advertising and the need to carve out a voice in a competitive market. I hope you enjoy this somewhat wide-ranging conversation centered around what it takes to build a business that you're proud of from someone who's actually doing it. I hope you take just as much from this as what I have.
