Hi, I’m Mark (also know as Merchant on the Mark)…
I’m a happily married Father of 3 boys, and I’ve been selling online for over 25 years.
Over the years, I’ve started, run, and sold many online businesses, in a variety of niche markets, selling lots to different products and services.
Currently, I actively sell over 7 figures per year online through marketplaces like Amazon FBA, Walmart, and my own Shopify stores.
I say all that, certainly not to impress you, but to just give you a background on my experience in building (and sustaining) long-term fun & profitable online businesses…
As a husband and Dad to 3 young boys, I can tell you, unequivocally, that starting my own business was the absolute best decision I ever made in my professional life.
My online businesses have provided me with the freedom & flexibility to be completely present for my kids, my wife, and for all the “truly” important life events that are important to me.
From taking care of my twins when they were very sick in the hospital for over a month when they were born, to coaching all my boys basketball and baseball teams, to being on every school trip, to being completely available throughout my wife’s cancer treatment.
NOTHING compares to that freedom and flexibility in my schedule that was made possible by building my own online businesses that could be run from anywhere… at any time.
Money, prestige, awards, etc. don’t matter. Family, health, relationships, and meaningful experiences are my only important gauges of “success” at this point in my life.
If you’re working at a job you don’t like and want to take control of your life by starting your own online business, I can help.
If you love your current job and just want to build a fun & profitable side hustle business selling products on Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, Ebay, Poshmark, Mercari, Shopify, etc., I can help with that too.
You see, I started Merchant on the Mark to share all the eCommerce tips, tricks, & techniques I’ve learned over the years, so that you don’t have to go through all of the issues, problems, and struggles that I’ve been through in my businesses.
On this website and Youtube channel, I will show you the skills you need to be successful, but your success… depends on you…
I can’t do it for you. You’ve got to REALLY want to build a real sustainable online business for yourself and to have a meaningful “why”.
You’ve got to be willing to work… hard. If you think eCommerce and selling online is all sunshine and rainbows, its not. Be ready to work hard. In the end, it will be worth it, as you’re building something for YOU and your family… Not someone else.
Don’t be lazy or use excuses. If you want to get ANYTHING done in this life, you can’t be lazy or give up when the going gets tough. Successful entrepreneurs encounter just as many obstacles as you do, they just find a way to push through and finish the task. You have to be stubborn and never stop trying until you get to where you want to be. Google is there for a reason… When in doubt, “google it”…
Finally, I want you to know that God loves you. You are good enough. You are smart enough. You can do this!
Never doubt yourself. Just work the system and you’ll get where you want to go.
I’m here to help you every step of the way..
I appreciate you being a part of the Merchant on the Mark family, and know that I’m always here to help…
Mark
