00:01:10 | 00:01:15 | process and whatever it takes to build a |

00:01:15 | 00:01:18 | know coming into the business you might |
00:01:17 | 00:01:21 | have a different mindset maybe you're |
00:01:18 | 00:01:23 | just looking for some extra income maybe |
00:01:21 | 00:01:25 | looking for some more passive income or |

00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | wants or desires that you have but the |
00:01:33 | 00:01:36 | only way you're gonna reach that end |
00:01:34 | 00:01:38 | goal is you have to take action you're |
00:01:36 | 00:01:40 | gonna have to invest you time and money |
00:01:38 | 00:01:43 | in the business and keep growing so that |
00:01:40 | 00:01:45 | is tip one so the second tip is to |
00:01:43 | 00:01:47 | understand the process and what I mean |
00:01:45 | 00:01:50 | by that is understand how exactly the |
00:01:47 | 00:01:53 | Amazon FBA cycle works from purchasing |
00:01:50 | 00:01:55 | the product to the listing process to |
00:01:53 | 00:01:58 | the shipping process to then the process |
00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | of actually selling it on Amazon and |
00:01:58 | 00:02:02 | remember once you sell your product on |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | Amazon Amazon will then do all the |
00:02:02 | 00:02:06 | fulfillment for you so it's extremely |
00:02:03 | 00:02:08 | convenient efficient when wanting to |
00:02:06 | 00:02:10 | scale your business now just a brief |
00:02:08 | 00:02:12 | breakdown you're wanting to purchase a |
00:02:10 | 00:02:13 | product obviously at a lower price with |
00:02:12 | 00:02:15 | the |
00:02:13 | 00:02:17 | tenshun to sell it back on Amazon FBA |
00:02:15 | 00:02:18 | for a higher price |
00:02:17 | 00:02:20 | for example let's just say you go to a |
00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | garage sale or you're looking online or |
00:02:20 | 00:02:23 | at a thrift store and you find an item |
00:02:22 | 00:02:25 | that you can obviously purchase for a |
00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | lower price for instance let's just say |
00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | a book you made this book for a dollar |
00:02:27 | 00:02:32 | and it's selling for twenty dollars on |
00:02:29 | 00:02:33 | Amazon with a really low sales rank and |
00:02:32 | 00:02:35 | for those of you that aren't familiar |
00:02:33 | 00:02:36 | with what it's sales rank is it's |
00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | basically Amazon's way of letting you |
00:02:36 | 00:02:41 | know how often and how well that product |
00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | is selling so the lower the sales rank |
00:02:41 | 00:02:47 | the more often that product is selling |
00:02:43 | 00:02:48 | so if it's a thousand ranking books it's |
00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | probably gonna sell that same day or the |
00:02:48 | 00:02:52 | same week that it checks in although if |
00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | it's a two or three million rank in |
00:02:52 | 00:02:56 | books it might take a couple months to |
00:02:54 | 00:02:59 | sell but I mean if you're buying it for |
00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | a dollar and you can solder $50 you can |
00:02:59 | 00:03:02 | possibly sit on that book for a couple |
00:03:00 | 00:03:05 | months and then once you sell it's just |
00:03:02 | 00:03:07 | gonna be a nice big paycheck for you so |
00:03:05 | 00:03:09 | the process is to then collect a good |
00:03:07 | 00:03:11 | amount of items I'd say at least 30 or |
00:03:09 | 00:03:13 | 40 for your first shipment and it |
00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | doesn't have to be just books um once |
00:03:13 | 00:03:17 | again it all depends on like the |
00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | business model that you choose and once |
00:03:17 | 00:03:19 | you've actually purchased the products |
00:03:18 | 00:03:22 | they're not the get into the listing |
00:03:19 | 00:03:24 | process you got to add that product to |
00:03:22 | 00:03:27 | your shipment you don't gonna have to |
00:03:24 | 00:03:28 | print labels for that product and then |
00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | label the product and then put it in a |
00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | big box and ship it to an Amazon |
00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | warehouse or wherever they want you to |
00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | ship it and once they receive the |
00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | product at the warehouse they'll then |
00:03:36 | 00:03:41 | put them on Amazon to where you can then |
00:03:38 | 00:03:43 | sell them and once they sell Amazon will |
00:03:41 | 00:03:45 | then fulfill all the items for you from |
00:03:43 | 00:03:46 | the pick that packed the ship straight |
00:03:45 | 00:03:49 | to the customer and you just receive a |
00:03:46 | 00:03:51 | bi-weekly check so the process is |
00:03:49 | 00:03:53 | extremely efficient and convenient but |
00:03:51 | 00:03:55 | number three is actually to choose a |
00:03:53 | 00:03:57 | business model and once you kind of |
00:03:55 | 00:04:00 | understand the process of how exactly |
00:03:57 | 00:04:02 | Amazon FBA works you then have to choose |
00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | a business model and a lot of people |
00:04:02 | 00:04:07 | think that it's a live or die basically |
00:04:05 | 00:04:09 | decision when picking your business |
00:04:07 | 00:04:10 | model but honestly it's not although |
00:04:09 | 00:04:13 | it's gonna set you back a lot if you |
00:04:10 | 00:04:14 | pick up business model and you do it for |
00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | six months and let's say you just don't |
00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | like it you want to switch obviously you |
00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | just lost six months of time they could |
00:04:18 | 00:04:22 | be putting into that one business model |
00:04:20 | 00:04:25 | you're trying to pursue but it's not a |
00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | huge deal anyways there's a fun |
00:04:25 | 00:04:29 | a different business models that you can |
00:04:26 | 00:04:32 | choose from from private label to |
00:04:29 | 00:04:35 | wholesale to drop shipping reach |
00:04:32 | 00:04:37 | arbitrage online arbitrage or just |
00:04:35 | 00:04:40 | reselling random items in general and |
00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | the reason that last one I kind of put |
00:04:40 | 00:04:44 | as a business model is because it's the |
00:04:41 | 00:04:46 | easiest way to start with private label |
00:04:44 | 00:04:49 | orth wholesale you have to order a large |
00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | quantity of the same similar item and |
00:04:49 | 00:04:53 | usually it's a lot of money especially |
00:04:50 | 00:04:55 | if you're like starting or you're new to |
00:04:53 | 00:04:56 | the Amazon FBA business model you know |
00:04:55 | 00:04:58 | how that's as much experience when it |
00:04:56 | 00:05:00 | comes to selling online or maybe just |
00:04:58 | 00:05:04 | don't have enough capital reselling |
00:05:00 | 00:05:06 | random items like books CDs video games |
00:05:04 | 00:05:08 | electronics it's a lot easier for you to |
00:05:06 | 00:05:11 | start and scale especially with a low |
00:05:08 | 00:05:13 | budget in it so that's one of the best |
00:05:11 | 00:05:16 | ways to start to have a low budget is |
00:05:13 | 00:05:18 | just to just fine random item so books |
00:05:16 | 00:05:19 | electronics and you can purse them at a |
00:05:18 | 00:05:21 | really little prices I usually spend |
00:05:19 | 00:05:24 | anywhere from $1 to $5 on those items |
00:05:21 | 00:05:26 | and this so anywhere from 50 to 150 |
00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | dollars so I recommend if you're kind of |
00:05:26 | 00:05:30 | new to the process start with just |
00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | reselling stuff around your house garage |
00:05:30 | 00:05:35 | sales thrift stores and once you kind of |
00:05:33 | 00:05:37 | go through that after a couple weeks you |
00:05:35 | 00:05:39 | can understand the process and hopefully |
00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | build up some extra income as well and |
00:05:39 | 00:05:42 | maybe pursue in a more scalable and |
00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | efficient business model like private |
00:05:42 | 00:05:46 | label which is what I do wholesale or |
00:05:44 | 00:05:49 | any of the other business models so tip |
00:05:46 | 00:05:51 | number four it's actually make goals or |
00:05:49 | 00:05:53 | make plans for your Amazon business and |
00:05:51 | 00:05:55 | this just comes in general and life |
00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | anything that you want success with you |
00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | can have to plan it out you're gonna |
00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | define it what exactly you need to do |
00:05:58 | 00:06:03 | what exactly they need to complete to |
00:06:00 | 00:06:05 | reach that goal and maybe it can be you |
00:06:03 | 00:06:08 | want to make your first 1,000 dollars on |
00:06:05 | 00:06:10 | Amazon FBA in your first month how many |
00:06:08 | 00:06:11 | products you're gonna have to have what |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | you can have to be your average sales |
00:06:11 | 00:06:15 | price I got are you gonna want to send a |
00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | shipment out every week every two weeks |
00:06:15 | 00:06:18 | are you're only gonna source on Monday |
00:06:17 | 00:06:20 | Wednesday Friday are you gonna source |
00:06:18 | 00:06:22 | every single day you need to make a plan |
00:06:20 | 00:06:24 | make a game plan so you can reach |
00:06:22 | 00:06:27 | whatever that goal or desire that you |
00:06:24 | 00:06:29 | want in maybe that means on Friday and |
00:06:27 | 00:06:31 | Saturday mornings waking up at 7:00 a.m. |
00:06:29 | 00:06:33 | going garage saleing or maybe that means |
00:06:31 | 00:06:34 | just pulling some late-night errs up to |
00:06:33 | 00:06:36 | 1:00 a.m. 2:00 a.m. |
00:06:34 | 00:06:38 | toking with manufacturers overseas |
00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | trying to communicate |
00:06:38 | 00:06:41 | trying to find the best deal for that |
00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | product that you're gonna sell an Amazon |
00:06:41 | 00:06:45 | either way you need to decide and figure |
00:06:43 | 00:06:46 | out what exactly want from me Amazon |
00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | business and what exactly you're gonna |
00:06:46 | 00:06:52 | have to give up to succeed and reach |
00:06:49 | 00:06:54 | that in term goal so tip number five is |
00:06:52 | 00:06:56 | to diversify your sourcing methods now |
00:06:54 | 00:06:59 | this kind of fluctuates depending on |
00:06:56 | 00:07:01 | what business model that you decided to |
00:06:59 | 00:07:03 | pursue but for instance let's just say |
00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | you're just reselling random items in |
00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | general and you only go to this one |
00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | thrift store a source and you go there |
00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | every single day well what if something |
00:07:09 | 00:07:13 | happens what if you don't find anything |
00:07:10 | 00:07:15 | one day what if another resale comes |
00:07:13 | 00:07:17 | before you and gets all the good product |
00:07:15 | 00:07:20 | need to diversify your sourcing methods |
00:07:17 | 00:07:22 | so maybe one weekend try garage saling |
00:07:20 | 00:07:25 | maybe the next weekend and go to a book |
00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | so maybe later that we try some online |
00:07:25 | 00:07:29 | sourcing from eBay Halliday Baba |
00:07:26 | 00:07:32 | Aliexpress just diversify so that you |
00:07:29 | 00:07:35 | don't go all in on one location or one |
00:07:32 | 00:07:36 | sourcing method and it just flattens and |
00:07:35 | 00:07:38 | you can no longer purchase profitable |
00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | products from it in Utah diversify and |
00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | have multiple places that you can |
00:07:40 | 00:07:44 | purchase products from so those are my |
