Our 2023 Recipe Book: Selling Products Online

Heavy Chef’s 2023 national bestseller, Selling Products Online, provides essential advice for entrepreneurs, featuring insights from successful South African entrepreneurs. Developed with Pan Macmillan, the guide simplifies E-commerce into 10 digestible steps, covering everything from online payments to marketing and logistics.

Recognizing the challenges many entrepreneurs face in E-commerce, Heavy Chef addresses the lack of training and exposure by offering practical guidance from industry experts. The book answers key questions about selling products online, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to succeed in modern commerce.

Heavy Chef aims to continue this initiative with more entrepreneur-focused books, building on the foundation laid by Selling Products Online to equip South African entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge they need.
