For many people, social media is a great source of communication and entertainment, but the past few years have seen it evolve into a platform that allows businesses to thrive. For young entrepreneur Ramin Popal, the opportunity couldn’t be missed, especially for companies thriving in the e-commerce industry.

Growing up in Australia, Ramin watched his father buy and sell products, laying the foundations for his future endeavors. At the time, he would follow a similar system, scouring through eBay to find things he could buy for $5 to $10 and later selling them at $50, giving him a side hustle. The profits Ramin made opened his eyes to the world of e-commerce, and he realized the power the online space held.

Being a Gen Z, Ramin was no stranger to social media, and he came up with the idea of incorporating the two parts together. Utilizing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, among other platforms, he was able to create a brand that would only continue to flourish. By 16, the young entrepreneur was able to build an Instagram page with over 22,000 followers. The continued success of his brand led Ramin to grow a reputation in the e-commerce scene. Brands were reaching out to him to ask for promotions of their products or pages. 

Over time, the brand continued to grow, and eventually, Ramin was able to generate more than $1 million in sales, earning more than his peers, their parents, and even their teachers. The success led others to seek his knowledge. The young entrepreneur decided that if he were going to teach, he would have to build a company that could share his knowledge and experience under one banner, giving birth to EComm Sharks.

EComm Sharks is an education company that provides the information aspiring and seasoned e-commerce business owners need to thrive in the industry. Regardless of what they know, the program takes its students back to square one, so by the time they finish, they will be leaving the programs as experts of the field. EComm Sharks extends its program to thousands of students from all corners of the world and from all walks of life.

With all the success he’s accumulated, one would presume that Ramin Popal has had his formal training in an esteemed university, but the young entrepreneur’s highest educational achievement to date is high school. He believes that high school and college are not as necessary as most people deem, having dived into the industry and learning the ropes along the way. Ramin’s decision was met with doubt, even from his closest friends. But the young entrepreneur persevered to come out on top.

As his brand continues to grow, Ramin hopes that he can take his career even further as he seeks to establish his legacy as one of the largest in the world. Having inspired thousands, he also hopes to continue growing EComm Sharks, playing a hand in educating the next wave of e-commerce business owners.
