Young Swiss Nigerian and fast-rising online entrepreneur, Yomi Denzel, breaks the norm to record enviable achievements in the e-commerce industry

Yomi Denzel started his YouTube channel at the age of 14 and has continued to position himself as a major figure in the e-commerce industry across the globe. The young yet successful e-commerce entrepreneur has carved a niche for himself for his somewhat unconventional yet effective approach to online marketing, with his major breakthrough coming in May 2019, when he generated more than $1.2 million in a day, using one promotion. Over the years, Yomi has developed a unique business model that has helped his rapid yet steady rise as an online entrepreneur.

The e-commerce industry has grown over the years, and experts have predicted the continuous growth of the industry in years to come. According to a report that was published by eMarketer, one of the leading providers of data and research on digital for business professionals, retail e-commerce sales will increase to more than $4.058 trillion in 2020. This represents more than 14% of total retail spending. If there is any individual that is seemingly profiting from the increasing popularity and growth of e-commerce, it is Yomi Denzel, a 23-year-old businessman that is disrupting the online business environment.

Yomi’s success story is fascinating, dropping his dream of playing football professionally due to a major injury and starting his entrepreneurial journey after he thought he had failed an exam in school. This turned out to be a blessing as he bought Tai Lopez SMMA (social media marketing agency) course and closed 3 different businesses, charging them $1,500 to manage their social media accounts, all within a month.

Yomi jumped on the e-commerce train in 2017, launching his first store in September using a dropshipping model. He subsequently developed a special marketing strategy using Influencers and story posts to generate quick massive revenues. His strategy hit the first big “Coup” in February 2018, generating $25,000 with an influencer he paid only $200.

Combining being a student, a teaching assistant in his university, the owner of
several E-Commerce stores and a YouTuber, Yomi designed a structure that included Cédric and Theodore to help manage his business effectively.

Yomi’s businesses have skyrocketed ever since, including the generation of over $1.2 million in a day, using one promotion. He has also taught hundreds of aspiring online entrepreneurs over the years, providing them with the tips to become successful in their respective fields.
