What is ESS?
HOWARD THAI’S EXCLUSIVE HUB FOR 7/8/9 FIGURE ENTREPRENEURS!
ESS, or Elite Seller Society, is an exclusive gathering for Amazon and e-commerce warriors generating over $2 million per year in revenue, dedicated to scaling their brands to new heights.
Founded in 2020 by Howard Thai, known as "The Professor," ESS was born out of Howard's own journey from building a multimillion-dollar e-commerce empire on Amazon. Despite his success, Howard faced challenges scaling beyond conventional levels of achievement. Recognizing a gap in available resources for entrepreneurs surpassing seven figures, Howard began sharing his insights and strategies at major industry events like Affiliate World.
The demand for Howard's expertise grew rapidly, evidenced by persistent inquiries from fellow entrepreneurs like Mary S., Tom W., and Jason and Lilly G., all seeking his guidance at all hours. These interactions highlighted a crucial need for more comprehensive education, networking opportunities, and tactical knowledge transfer in the industry. Thus, the concept of ESS evolved from informal meetups into a structured, recurring event, empowering sellers with proven strategies to amplify their sales and navigate the complexities of e-commerce successfully.

Testimonials
Heartwarming words from our previous participants who not only acquired extensive knowledge but also achieved their financial goals. A must-attend event for serious sellers looking to scale and stay ahead in the industry.
Here from Miami, we just finished Howard's Mastermind, it was pretty good. Crazy, crazy good sellers, a lot of good information, a lot of strategies that I haven't used yet on my brand and which will help grow our brand and very cool stuff, they really explain everything well and yeah, pretty happy. I recommend it, it's good for connections as well because we've all friends in the Amazon world, you can't really do anything so that's one thing I recommend and yeah, just come open -minded and enjoy it.

Hi, I'm Craig Brockie. I have been selling on Amazon since 2015. We sell eight figures per year around the world and I belong to several masterminds. And the content here at Howard's event has definitely been the best of any group that I've been involved with to date. So definitely a lot of value happening here. I found out about Howard a few years ago, I think, through a Facebook group that I belong to. I reached out and learned about all the details and it was a definite yes to come and see what's going on. And the content's been over the top good. Right, well I didn't know that I'd get the value that I wanted to get out of this event, but when you're selling at the level that my company is, it only takes one or two good ideas to create an extra hundred or two hundred or more thousand dollars of income. everybody wants to help each other get to the next level. So when you have a small group like this of really, really successful people, that's when the magic happens. It comes down to the quality of the people in the room and I think that Howard has a talent for attracting the best of the best.Craig Brockie
Hey, I'm George Marissa. I'm the founder of Clear Ads, I am in France at the moment in this lavish castle and we are at an Elite mastermind run by Howard here this week. So, it's a small group of sellers, all high-end, 8, 9-figure sellers. We're just networking, learning from each other and having a lot of fun. So, over the years I've been to a handful of events of different sizes. I think the one amazing thing about this event is the calibre of people that are here. So extremely successful sellers and also the intimacy. So, it's a concentrated group of sellers. So, there's only about 45 sellers here, but yeah, to combine the two, there's also an element of trust. So, a lot more is shared here than you would find in the bigger events.
And what's really nice is, like we had a speaker this morning really challenged me on some of the things that he does. I was unable to follow it up. So, I asked him earlier and I said, look, I just, I can't get my head around how you do this. We've scheduled a time tomorrow just to sit down here in this wonderful place and just go through some of that. So, in the bigger events, you just can't do that. You can't find the time, especially those who are like doing nine figures on Amazon to sit down with them and actually have this kind of conversation.
George Marissa, Co-founder – Clear Ads
My name is Paul Barron and I've been an Amazon seller since 2015. I am in the middle of a castle courtyard. Like how crazy is this? To attend Elite Seller Society Mastermind. So, there's so many. They're all like I'm an 8-figure seller. I'm a 9-figure seller. And I'm like I'm only a 7-figure seller. I'm not a seller but I'm here. People that want to grow their business because there's so much bullshit. Can I say that? There's a lot of bullshit in the event space. It seems like everybody, every Tom, Dick and Harry has an event. And a lot of it's just bullshit. It's like the same recycled speakers from every event. You hear the same thing 55 times. And this one was just packed full. I saw so many people taking notes, taking pictures. And these are all people that are like they know what they're doing. They're not small level sellers. So, the people that need to be here are the people that want to grow their businesses. They want to be around other people that are in the same level as them. And if you want to up level your game you have to come. So, the value here is so far day one. This is the end of day one. Has been insane.Paul Baron
My name is Shawn Hart from Post Purchase Pro I'm hanging out over here with Jimmy Ho and all the other folks in Paris, France. And we're having a great time at the Elite Seller Society Summit here in this beautiful castle. So if you get the opportunity to join Howard I'll probably see you there because I know I'll be there you're not going to be able to keep me away from here you know I was thinking when I came into this that it would only be for those high-level sellers who are trying to find their next easy win but after I look at some of the strategies I've noticed that no matter where you're at in your business, you know, if you already have a reasonably successful business, meaning producing consistent sales profitably every day, it doesn't matter how big it is, consistent daily sales, then you have to get yourself to this event because what you're going to find here is going to be a multiplier to your business.Shawn Hart, Co-founder – Post Purchase PRO
Hi, my name's Gerald, I'm from the UK and I've been an Amazon seller for nearly 12 years. I am in a castle in Paris. We're at Howard Thai’s event. It's mega, some mega speakers here. We've got some serious nuggets. I believe that within the first speaker, pretty much paid back the admission fee with the nuggets that we got even from the first speaker, so the rest of it was just gravy. So, yeah, amazing. If you get a chance to go to Howard Thai’s event, make sure you go. It puts on a great party, a great spread. So when you get to a certain level, you need to start learning off people who are doing serious money. Mingling with people on the same level with you isn't going to get you up the ladder. I think you need to get to these events, put yourself out there. Even if you come on your own, everyone's very welcoming.Gerald Harvey Orme
My name is Destaney Wishon. I am co-founder and CEO of Better AMS. The biggest thing I was really intrigued with is just being surrounded by absolutely amazing people in their respective industries. It's so much to learn and know in e -commerce that if you can find a few thought leaders who actually know what they're doing, it makes a world of difference. What makes it elite is the quality of people. You know, the content's been absolutely amazing. When you do a live webinar or watch something on YouTube, you're seeing a very templated presentation of the content. When you are here, you get to grab that speaker and tell them, hey, this is what I'm dealing with in my business. What is the best way to tackle the problem? And you get a customized solution. So, if you're able to come to somewhere like this and find someone and connect with them, you can one have them actually manage that aspect for you. Or you know how to reach out and connect with who can take your brand to the next level through their thought leadership. You have to be in the space and meet people in person to really open up those doors.Destaney Wishon, Co-founder – Better AMS
Hey guys, my name is Angelo Rosado. I've been selling on Amazon since early 2016. I met Howard a few years ago now, in China I believe. First event I went to, met a bunch of cool people that knew a lot right away from the first day. Already learned a lot of new tricks, new tips that helped me scale my business even higher. Everyone that you see speaking here is a high-level seller, you know. The things they talk about, are not things you'll easily find online. Whenever you see stuff online, you might find some great info, but the stuff that you're finding is probably stuff that people don't use anymore. Old stuff, recycled stuff. The stuff that's shared here is stuff that's working currently. Once people find out about it, it stops working. So you got to be the first to know what's working in the business in order to be able to apply it before anyone else, in order to stand out, in order to scale your business to new levels. You know, if you rely only on what you find online, then you're late to the game. Angelo Rosado
My name is Ace Hemani and I've been selling on Amazon for the last 10 years. It's been half a day right I think in the half day that we've learned a lot and I think we are already at a pace to get way more value than we asked for. if you're going to make investments in your business you should be making investments in yourself to make sure you're as knowledgeable as you possibly can be in the industry and I think continuing education is like the key to staying up with Amazon trends and what works and what doesn't work. I mean it's the more than 50 % of transactions online happen on Amazon so it's kind of if you're not doing it you're losing out on half the potential sales that are out there.Ace Hemani
