About Us
Our Amazon selling journeys began separately in 2021. Surprisingly, our stories are pretty similar except we’re on opposite sides of the coast!
We both started selling on Amazon as a side hustle, while also working a full-time job. This was a way for us to supplement our current income in hopes that it would give us the freedom to do more of what we ENJOY.
Now, insert the power of networking and social media!
We virtually met in 2022 while sharing our Amazon selling journeys on Instagram, YouTube, and our personal blogs. Long story short, we slid into each other’s DMs! 😂
We always talked about hanging out and joked about taking our friendship to the next level by working together. Then we realized -
Why should living on opposite sides of the coast stop us?!
Fast forward to today, we’re both full-time Amazon Sellers and business partners!
Three things we’ve learned since we started selling on Amazon:
Selling on Amazon is hard & can be extremely isolating.
Networking is key.
Amazon sellers are located from coast to coast.
Coast to Coast was created as a way to help Amazon sellers like you. From establishing friendships and networking with other sellers, to getting help with sourcing and becoming ungated, we have all the bases covered!
We want to help, but we also want to have FUN. So, come hangout with us!
❤, Erica & Jeanette
Erica Morgan - OHIO
I’m a twenty-something year-old nurse turned online entrepreneur. Up until recently, I was working two jobs: full-time nurse AND part-time Amazon Seller.
Now, that may sound confusing if you’re new to my blog, so let me start at the beginning…
In 2018, my husband was working countless hours when he came across the concept of “financial independence.” If you’re anything like I was back then, this concept may seem a bit foreign. But essentially, it means improving your relationship with money so that you no longer HAVE to work.
To be clear, this blog doesn’t revolve around our FI journey; but discovering FI was a life-changing moment for us and also the reason why I became an entrepreneur, so I didn’t feel right leaving this part out.
Shortly after discovering FI, I got the urge to start a side hustle. I wanted it to be enjoyable, profitable, and scalable. This is when I came across flipping thrift store finds and selling them online for a profit (shoutout Ralli Roots!). While this was enjoyable and somewhat profitable, it wasn’t scalable so I quit in 2019.
Our journey to FI continued and it wasn’t until 2020 that I came across Nikki Kirk’s YouTube channel. I then became obsessed with selling on Amazon and knew that this is what I wanted to pursue. I mean, who wouldn’t love to make money shopping?
I began my Amazon Selling journey in March 2021 and the rest is history. Fast-forward to today, I’m now a full-time, six-figure Amazon Seller and blogger!

Jeanette Steele - CALIFORNIA
In October of 2020 my hubby and I decided to do something a little crazy. We packed up our lives we had been living in Florida for over 20 years, moved 2,267 miles west, and landed in California. He was offered his dream job and I was able to keep my remote 9-5 job. We quickly realized that we weren’t in Florida anymore, Mickey!
Although we have been enjoying the beauty of California, and the excitement of new adventures. California was starting to take a toll on our budget. Our rent nearly tripled, gas prices are reaching $5 a gallon and don’t get me started on purchasing bags and bottle deposits.
I knew my income wasn’t enough to cover my share of the living expenses, so I was in search of another income source. I tried selling on Etsy, selling on Poshmark, I started a blog 3 times ( all which failed ), and dabbled in Podcasting. Although fun, none of these adventures produced a significant source of income for me.
One day in May 2021 I came across some YouTube videos by Nikki Kirk. She was out sourcing and making great money working 1-2 days a week and I thought, “this is something I could do!” That is when I decided to commit 100% into selling on Amazon. I purchased her Beginner Selling Course followed by her ungating guides.
With the right tools, I was able to achieved over $25,000.00 in sales on Amazon in 7 months. My life had completely changed in the matter of a few short months!
I also started sharing my Amazon sourcing trips on YouTube back in October of 2021 and to my surprise, it has been growing steadily ever since. It’s been so rewarding being apart of such an awesome community and i’m looking forward to sharing my journey and resources with you!
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME - My talents include being super awkward, owl noises and ventriloquist. My favorite things are my boys, traveling, food and good mail.
