Helping Amazon Sellers Get Funded
I’ve always believed that solving a real problem is at the heart of every good business. But what they don’t tell you is how hard it is to actually reach the people you’re trying to help — especially in the beginning.
The Idea Spark
It all started with a simple observation: Amazon sellers have great potential, but many of them struggle with one thing — capital. On the other side, I noticed that more people around me were asking: “Where can I invest for passive income, but without dealing with crypto or stocks?”
It clicked.
What if I could build a bridge between those two groups?
That’s how Income Waves was born — a platform designed to connect Amazon sellers who need funding with investors who want real, product-backed returns. A simple idea, but as I learned, getting it off the ground was anything but.
The Harsh Reality of Getting Leads
I built the landing page, crafted the message, and even started some small ad campaigns. I posted on Reddit, reached out on Instagram, ran a few tests on Upwork and TikTok — and still, progress felt slow. I wasn’t just chasing metrics — I wanted to see if this idea truly resonated with real people.
Some days, I’d get one new investor sign-up. Other days? Nothing. And when you’re bootstrapping, every click, form, and DM feels personal.
But slowly, patterns started to emerge.
• Facebook groups worked better than expected — when done authentically.
• Reddit hated anything that sounded remotely like a pitch — but loved honest stories.
• Some sellers weren’t just interested — they were desperate for a funding solution that didn’t involve high-interest loans or complex partnerships.
That kept me going.
What I’m Building Now
I’m still in the early stages — just being transparent here. But Income Waves is shaping up into something real. We’ve got our early waitlist growing (slowly but steadily), and the vision is clearer than ever:
Helping Amazon sellers grow faster, and helping investors earn passive income from real-world businesses.
I’m focusing now on learning, listening, and validating. If you’re an Amazon seller or an investor reading this — I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
What I’ve Learned (So Far)
1. The best ideas still need distribution. No matter how helpful your product is, if no one hears about it, it won’t matter.
2. Being human works better than being “marketing.” I’ve had more meaningful conversations from casual Reddit posts than polished ad copy.
3. Progress feels slow — until it doesn’t. Every few days, someone surprises me with a message that reminds me why I started.

If you’re building something yourself, or thinking about a different kind of investment — I encourage you to share your story too. You never know who might relate, support, or help shape it.
