How to sell your products on Amazon with Vicki Weinberg
On today's episode of Visibility Talks, I am joined by Vicki Weinberg, entrepreneur, award winning podcast host and Amazon selling expert. We had a fantastic chat about selling on Amazon so product business owners listen up!
There's no denying that Amazon is a massive platform with an untapped audience where you can sell your gorgeous products, and a fantastic way to get visible! But where to start? Vicki shares it all here.
In her own words
Vicki Weinberg founded Tiny Chipmunk, a bamboo baby brand, when her second child was just 6 weeks old. After years working in corporate roles, she wanted to work around her family and do something where the money she earned didn’t necessarily have to equate to the hours she put in. Selling products seemed to be the answer.
Vicki offers product creation support and specialises in selling on Amazon. She is also the host of a weekly podcast for product based entrepreneurs - Bring Your Product Idea to Life.
Topics we cover in this conversation
Vicki shared more of her story that brought her here - I am always fascinated as to why women start their own businesses, aren't you?
We touched on which parts of the Visibility Buffet work for Vicki and her business. The Visibility Buffet is what I call the wide variety of ways to be visible. You can't eat everything at the buffet table, which ones do you dive into?
We talked about selling your products on Amazon + why it's a brilliant platform to get on
Vicki shared her 3 essentials to improve your Amazon listings as well as some myths about selling on Amazon and what she really wished everyone knew.
A massive thank you to Vicki for being such a brilliant guest! I learned so much and I hope you do too.

The value of storytelling + where to start with Jackie Wilson, storyteller and copywriter
Did you know that every single word you write says something about you? That includes your mission, your business, your project or your organisation? Every word is a part of your story.
On today's episode of Visibility Talks, I am joined by the very wise woman who wrote these words - Jackie Wilson from BrickHouse! Jackie is a storyteller and copywriter and my goodness, does she tell good stories. We had a really great conversation about the value of storytelling in our business journey and much more.
In her own words
Jackie is the founder-owner of BrickHouse, a small copy &content creation company that serves mainly SMEs, and a media professional of many years’ standing.
She has over 30 years as a freelance writer, broadcaster and media trainer under her belt, and is a scrupulously precise editor, utterly pedantic and very word-choosy. As a media trainer she worked in parts of Africa and Central Asia with young journalists and reporters––something she still sees as thoroughly rewarding and the most fun to be had while working.
Her content these days includes marketing copy, but she describes herself as a storyteller rather than a copywriter. A journalist to the bone, she does nothing without research, and the research object is her client’s story.
Topics we cover in this conversation
We talked a great deal about the value of storytelling in our businesses and how it ripples out to every single aspect of our marketing and promotional journey.
Speaking of journeys, Jackie shared wisdom about the difference of the customer journey, our business journey, and our personal journey.
Jackie walked us the history of storytelling and why it’s so valuable and of course we touched on the contributions of AI and the importance of being authentic.
We also talked about one of my favourite topics - why does our Why matter? You know the one, the Big Why of why we do all of this - and how each of the chapters in our life matter and contribute to our business every day.
A big thank you to Jackie for being such a brilliant guest! I learned so much and I hope you do too.

S4 E17: Making marketing decisions about what suits you with Laura from Worditude
On today's episode of Visibility Talks I am joined by the excellent Laura Robinson from Worditude! Laura is a marketing mentor and copywriter (I am proud to recommend her on my Sassy and Soft page). We had a really interesting conversation about making marketing and selling decisions about what suits YOU rather than an imaginary ideal client.
In her own words
Laura is a marketing mentor for people who sell their expertise online as 1-1 services, courses, memberships and group programs, helping them put themselves first (instead of an imaginary ideal client).
Topics we cover in this conversation
About how Laura started her business as a busy mum needing to earn extra money + what she learned in the early days that she wished others knew?
Examining your own needs and how to make your business work around them
What Laura's favourite part of being visible is (I like to call them your sausage rolls)?
What’s your cheese + pineapple sticks (least favourite) part of being visible?
The joys of Voxer and adapting your business
Our attitude to selling and the concept of the bombastic bully we fear we are, and the humble mumbler we really are, and how to get out of that cycle
Making decisions on what suits you - sounds like a dream, where do we start?
Making money hands-free - doesn’t that involve loads of tech?
Managing your business with a chronic illness, I know a lot of listeners will relate to this. How do you do it?
Managing your capacity
Sharing responsibility with your clients
Defining your own success
A big thank you to Laura for being such a brilliant guest! I learned so much and I hope you do too.

How to sell with a small audience with natalie koussa
Published 8 Apr 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It's like, it actually sparks a conversation, I suppose. And that's I love that. It's also the, the iteration as well. Absolutely. Yeah. So, so with messaging then, where, where would you say, when you work with your clients, where do you kind of start with helping people figure out their message? So fundamentally, everything that I'm about is helping people turn the message into a movement. So my background is working. I mean, way back in the day, I was a child protection social worker. I moved into nonprofits. I ended up as director of partnerships for a nonprofit. So my background is very much around moving people into action and helping to create, I mean, a movement is a group of people with shared values, shared vision for the world, that are moving in the same direction in some way.
