Amazon FBA vs Shopify Dropshipping in 2022 - Which One Is Better For You?

amazon and shopify are two of the most,popular ways to start generating income,online and for most new sellers choosing,between selling products on amazon or,shopify is one of the earliest decisions,you'll need to make as an online,entrepreneur there are some important,differences between both platforms that,may make one option better for you so in,this video i'll be going over the pros,and the cons of selling on each amazon,and shopify and what platform i'd,recommend for most sellers for those of,you new to the channel my name is,michael and it's my passion to help make,starting your first online business as,straightforward as possible so first off,i'll start by doing a quick overview of,each platform then i'll get into the,pros and cons of each amazon fba and,shopify drop shipping so first up is,amazon fba using amazon's fulfilled by,amazon program,you'll be selling on amazon's website,and you'll need to create a listing,using amazon's listing format so this,basically means that you'll need to,follow all of amazon's listing rules in,order to list products for sale when,selling products on amazon,chances are most of your customers will,come from the amazon site itself as,opposed to from a different website and,when shopping on amazon products show up,based on search terms that customers,search as opposed to needing to place,ads on google instagram facebook and,other platforms to generate awareness,when selling through the fba program,you'll also ship your products to the,amazon warehouse before you make any,sales,and amazon will manage your fulfillment,your shipping and things like returns,for you this means less work over time,but it also means that you'll need to,purchase your inventory up front which,could mean higher startup costs so next,up we have shopify drop shipping when,selling on shopify you have your own,website and you're in charge of shipping,your own orders so generally speaking,you'll have more customization options,on shopify and basically that means,having more control over what your,product page branding and marketing look,like,however since you'll be selling products,from your own website on shopify you can,expect to put in more effort to attract,customers to your own website versus,finding them already ready to purchase,on amazon so while you can save on,certain seller fees by operating your,own website you'll need to set up more,processes that amazon streamlines for,you as part of that seller central,program shopify is also a great way to,have more control over all aspects of,your business,but this does come at a cost,namely the time and effort it takes to,create your own website and to fill your,orders among other things so now that we,have a quick overview of what it means,to get started on each platform,let's double click on the pros and cons,of each,so first the pros of selling on amazon,first off amazon has a larger audience,that already trusts amazon's platform so,if you think about it if you're a brand,new customer and you stumble upon a new,shopify page chances are you're going to,be a little skeptikal before making your,first purchase second amazon customers,are warmer leads and they're on amazon,for a reason to make a purchase so,versus just browsing on google or,facebook and coming across your shopify,ad amazon customers are generally,speaking a little bit closer to making,their final purchasing decision third,amazon handles shipping and returns for,you now this can be a really big benefit,for a lot of new sellers because,fulfillment and returns and managing all,those processes can be quite time,consuming next amazon also has very,reliable fast shipping so if you're,aware of the amazon prime program you'll,know that a lot of items are available,for one to two day shipping and this is,really helpful in helping push customers,to make that purchasing decision that,kind of quicker gratification of fast,shipping next the potential to scale is,quite huge on amazon especially if you,find the right products with enough,demand because amazon has so many,customers and because so many people are,going to amazon for a lot of their,purchases if you find the right product,and put it on amazon and scale it the,chances are you can actually reach a lot,of customers quite quickly and lastly,amazon prime members spend more on,average than regular customers so,another thing that people don't think,about too often is the buyer psychology,behind buying and having a prime,membership so as a prime member you want,to make sure that your amazon prime,membership is worth it it's over a,hundred dollars per year and the more,purchases you make on amazon the more,you get out of that prime membership in,the first place so prime members on,amazon will generally spend more than,their regular member counterparts next,up we have the pros of shopify drop,shipping the first pro of shopify drop,shipping is that there's very low,startup cost so with amazon what you'd,have to do most of the time is,purchase all of your inventory up front,or a big chunk of it send it all to the,amazon warehouse before you can even,start selling your products but on,shopify especially shopify drop shipping,what you can do is actually receive,certain orders and fulfill them once,you've received them and a lot of this,will depend on the connections that you,have with third parties or manufacturers,in order to make that happen but,generally speaking the startup costs on,shopify are a lot cheaper than on amazon,next when you're on shopify you,basically own your customer base and all,of that customer data and their,preferences are yours to analyze and if,you compare that to amazon where amazon,is giving you certain metrics that you,can use to help improve your listing on,shopify because you have total control,over your website and what your listing,looks like,and the ads that you're running there's,a little bit more control and a little,bit more creativity that you can add to,the process lastly a benefit of shopify,drop shipping is that seller fees can be,a lot lower so if you think about being,on amazon because you're using their,website you're putting your listing on,their website you're using their,warehouse and their fulfillment methods,they can afford to charge you a little,bit more for their services because,you're creating those processes yourself,on shopify generally speaking those fees,will be a lot lower now let's get into,the cons of amazon so the first count of,amazon is that you don't really own your,customer relationships so it's harder to,contact your customers tell them about a,new product it's harder to understand,specifically why someone did not choose,to purchase your product and you're kind,of using the tools that amazon gives you,in order to help make your product as,good as possible second amazon can,change their fees at any time meaning,big changes can impact your,profitability so let's just say that the,seller fees increase tomorrow and,suddenly your profits decrease those are,things that can actually happen on,amazon so just being completely up to,date with amazon's terms of service is,going to help you a lot in terms of,planning your business and understanding,how much profit you're actually,generating over time so let's get into,the cons of shopify so shopify generally,speaking you're going to be working with,a pretty cold audience so the leads,aren't quite as warm meaning that people,aren't as ready or willing to purchase,as they are on amazon also on shopify,especially when drop shipping you could,experience longer shipping times so,because with drop shipping you're making,these connections and partnerships with,people overseas and manufacturers you,can ultimately fulfill your order,because a lot of these partners are,overseas or farther from your customer,sometimes that shipping period can be a,little bit longer and some customers can,be a little annoyed by that also on,shopify targeting customers is a little,bit more difficult meaning that you'll,

Dropshipping VS. Amazon FBA | Which One Is Better? | Amazon FBA Tips

if you want to know why Amazon FBA is so,much better than Drop Shipping keep,watching,what is up you guys welcome back to a,new video and today we are going to tok,about why Amazon FBA is so much better,than Drop Shipping what makes them,different what makes them the same,because I get so many comments on my,videos of people saying well isn't this,the same thing as Drop Shipping and Drop,Shipping is dead and this is a scam and,don't go for it so I am here to tell you,that they are not the same thing so,let's tok about what makes them,different alright so if you are new here,first let's discuss what Amazon FBA is,so Amazon FBA stands for fulfillment by,Amazon which basically means that you,purchase products from Alibaba or from,any manufacturer it doesn't actually,have to be Alibaba and you are basically,making the product better than it,already is you're tweaking it you're,making a difference you are putting your,branding on it so the great thing is,you're not Reinventing the wheel you're,buying an already made product and,you're putting your branding on it then,you're sending it off straight to the,Amazon warehouse for for you to sell on,Amazon.com or amazon.ca or Amazon UK or,whatever country you're in so this is,what Amazon FBA is and whenever you see,products that have the Prime logo on,them that means these products are being,sold through the Amazon FBA program now,Drop Shipping on the other hand means,that you are finding a manufacturer,again whether it's in China or in the US,or whatever country you're in you can,find a manufacturer in and you are,finding a product that they have that,you really like and you want to sell you,are not going to put your branding on,this product because what's going to,happen is you will create a website,usually on Shopify you're going to list,this product on your website and then,run Facebook ads to drive traffic to,your website and when people purchase,this product your supplier will then,ship each order in plain packaging,because they're not going to print out,your branding just yet when they're,shipping order by order so they're going,to ship fit in plain packaging and they,ship it usually takes around two weeks,to get to the customer all right now,this is the overview of Amazon FBA and,Drop Shipping now let's get into why I,think Amazon FBA is way better alright,so I have seen countless videos on Drop,Shipping to be honest of you know very,very young entrepreneurs making millions,and millions of dollars off of this,business module but for me it just,doesn't make sense because number one I,don't think customers have the patience,anymore to wait two weeks to get their,order especially for me as a customer,and I always put myself in the customers,shoes and try to see how the customer is,going to think and I don't think I would,want to wait two weeks to get my product,and this is a huge hurdle when it comes,to drop shipping because the whole idea,of Drop Shipping is that you are,shipping from your manufacturer and,usually those are in China so they don't,have the same day or next day delivery,options now my second problem with Drop,Shipping is that to be be honest now it,has terrible reputation it's actually,very hard to trust independent websites,these days they have to have a really,good brand going they have to have a lot,of reviews it's very hard for me to just,go on a completely new Brand's website,on Shopify and purchase off of them,without having to think and have a,million questions about this brand so,usually questions that I would have is,what is the refund policy how long is,the shipping gonna take I mean are they,even going to ship my product or are,they just gonna take my money and not,ship me anything so these are all,questions that come up on every,consumer's mind when they come to a new,and independent website now another,problem with Drop Shipping because,usually this business module doesn't,require a lot of effort on your side is,that you're usually not using your own,images or using your own content to,promote it and for me if I am seeing,repeated images on different independent,websites of the same product then I,won't really know what the product looks,like and what the quality is like which,is a huge problem so let's say for,example you find a product like these,hair ties over here and you decide that,you want to sell them on your own,independent website your process is,going to look like this first you're,going to go on alibaba.com and you're,gonna find a manufacturer or a supplier,that has this product then you're gonna,tell them hey I want to drop ship this,product are you able to ship it unit by,unit I don't want to purchase inventory,I want you to ship it unit by unit and,if they agree then you're going to,create your own website and you're going,to take the images that are from the,supplier and you're going to put it on,your own website now keep in mind that,these products there's usually hundreds,of Sellers and hundreds of websites that,are selling the same product and that,have the same exact images and then,you're going to take videos from your,supplier and you're going to push these,videos through Facebook ads now,obviously Facebook does not like Drop,Shipping advertisements because it's,usually not your own footage so you,might get flagged and you might might,get that ad account taken down so to be,honest it's just a very messy process,and then for somebody to then purchase,these hair ties from you they're going,to have to wait two weeks until they get,the product and if they don't like the,quality then they will return it which,is a huge loss for you so on the other,hand when you list something like this,on Amazon FBA this is what the process,looks like so listing this on Amazon FBA,means that you're gonna do the same,thing where you're gonna go on Alibaba,and try to find a supplier but now,instead of asking the supplier to ship,each individual unit you're gonna,purchase bulk inventory let's say 300,units now I actually looked this product,up and I believe you can get hair ties,like this for around one cent a hair tie,so if this is 70 I believe heritized,then it's going to cost you 70 cents for,this entire bundle so let's say you,purchase a bundle of 70 hair ties each,and you purchase 300 bundles for 70,cents then you're going to then tell,them I want my branding on it so as you,can see these hair ties over here have a,brand called goody so you're going to,maybe send them a picture of this and,say I want the same thing but I want my,branding on it let's say my brand is on,the trend you're going to tell them to,put own the trend right here let's say,your branding colors are gold and black,you then you're gonna ask them to do,this whole packaging in gold and black,that way your product is now branded,towards your branding and your,guidelines now this product is ready to,ship what they're going to do is then,put it in a box or put it in a poly bag,or however you choose to ship it and,keep in mind you need to keep your,shipping cost very minimal because,you're shipping bulk of this inventory,to the us so you want to keep your cost,very low so let's say you put this in a,nice black poly bag or a nice gold poly,bag and then you're going to send it,straight to the Amazon warehouse once it,gets to the Amazon warehouse it will,then be available on Amazon after you,create your listing of course through,Amazon Prime so now you're going to have,an actual sample of the product for you,to take pictures and take real videos of,so people can see the actual real,product when you run Facebook ads with,these videos people are then going to be,redirected to Amazon and what happens is,when they're redirected to the Amazon,website and they see wow this product is,a really affordable price it's available,on Amazon Prime which means I'm going to,get it the next day I already have my,payment information saved on amazon.com,and I'm protected by their 30-day refund,policy it is literally a no-brainer and

force on our entire economy,and it has changed the lives of millions,of people especially with the world,situation going on,that has you know that started in 2020,and continues,as i make this video

states,happen on amazon with amazon processing,14,of all ecommerce sales worldwide right,so 50,over 50 just in the united states and 14,of all e-commerce sales worldwide happen,on amazon every month,over two and a half billion people log,on to amazon that's literally one in,every three people alive today on earth,if we look at the number of amazon prime,accounts in the world that's amazon's,two to three day monthly subscription,for two to three day or same day,shipping there are currently over 150,million amazon prime accounts,that's people who are logging onto,amazon every single day with their,credit cards plugged in,and ready to buy and in the united,states alone over half of all households,in the us,currently have an active amazon prime,membership and that number is rising,exponentially,and by the way this video that you're,about to watch here this complete,tutorial i'm,really going to put my all into this,like i'm really going to share,the absolute best strategy

completely,transform the rest of your life,and will allow you to achieve financial,freedom will allow you to start a real,business,where you're selling a real product and,you're building up something that,actually has intrinsic value,as opposed to other businesses out there,as opposed to stoks and crypto and,things like that where you really just,don't have control,if we tok in terms of business,e-commerce is the absolute best business,that you can start today simply because,of the fact that you have total control,you can start off with a small amount of,money and grow it into a six and seven,figure income for yourself,just as i've done for myself in the past,few years and all you have to do to make,this happen,is to watch this video now if we look at,amazon stok it has literally doubled in,the last 12 months,amazon it's obvious it's not going,anywhere and even though there are lots,of people out there that are toking,about the fact that it's too competitive,and it's oversaturated,is it even worth it if you look at the,number of new amazon prime memberships,compared to the number of new amazon,sellers which are third party sellers,people like you and me,you can see that the number of new,signups for amazon prime,just vastly vastly outpaces the number,of new sellers so in fact,selling on amazon actually becomes,easier every single day,because there are more customers every,single day that join,the website for every new seller meaning,that right now,as you're watching this video there has,never been a better time to start and it,gets really confusing because,there are so many gurus online there are,so many people online that tok about,how it's too late or too competitive or,you know money lost if you literally,type in amazon fba on youtube you can,see all these,videos that try to scare you when in,fact if i was starting an online,business fresh today from xero from,scratch,you know not having a lot of money,having no experience i would start,amazon fba because there's just no other,business there's no other,way of making money online that even,compares and the fact that there are so,many people online,toking about amazon fba you know,toking about passive income online,business e-commerce,everybody wants you to buy their course,but how do you make out the truth from,the noise,right it's a big problem nowadays you,don't know who's legit and who's not,legit you don't know,who to trust and who not to trust and it,seems that all the videos that you watch,about amazon either try to scare you,or are trying to show you how much money,that guru made and they're posing next,to the lamborghini near their supercar,so that's why it's so easy to get,overwhelmed with not knowing who to,follow,who's actually giving the right no obs,information about how to start a,successful profitable amazon fba,business now a little bit about me if,you're brand new to my channel welcome,super happy to have you here,my name is dan vass and if we look at my,journey i literally tried everything,okay so if we just go back several years,now when i was about 20 or 21 years old,i wanted to start an online business i,was you know the typical college kid,story where i was just hating my life in,college,i was studying business i was actually,working at the bank and i just,absolutely hated my life i didn't see,any kind of future where i would work,nine to five the rest of my life,i would barely barely get by paycheck to,paycheck i would maybe get some kind of,a house in the suburbs where i'd have,like a million dollar mortgage because,that's how much houses are where i'm,from,i grew up in canada right and uh you,know crazy real estate bubble and so i,just said you know what this is not for,me i don't want to live a life of,scarcity i want to,live a life just like i'm seeing all,these people online living and at the,time i was seeing,all these influencers online they were,traveling the world you know they were,making money online,they were posing next to supercars and i,just couldn't help but wonder,how are these people doing it and so,that's what led me onto this journey of,trying everything i tried affiliate,marketing i tried stoks i tried,cryptokurrency i tried,social media marketing and none of it,worked until i actually found out about,amazon fba,and when i found out about amazon fba,that's when i,completely committed to amazon i saw the,potential i started watching non-stop,videos like eight hours a day this was,in 2017.,in the span of the following three,months i went from zero literally just,making no money i was 40 000 in college,debt i went from,that to making 32 000 in a single month,in revenue,and i had made more money in a single,month than anyone has ever made in my,entire family up until that day,and i know that so many people tok,about how much money they make and all,of this,but the truth is is that i am no,different than you if you look at my,channel,there are no supercars there are no you,know luxurious luxurious mansions or,you know anything super flashy you know,i might maybe show off my traveling and,stuff like that because i love that,right and you know you want to show off,the freedom lifestyle a little bit,because it inspires people,but the truth is that i am no different,than you my mission in life is to become,one of the greatest e-commerce,entrepreneurs,and through that part of my mission is,to share the absolute best ecommerce,content,online on youtube here on my channel

Dropshipping vs Amazon FBA - Was ist besser? | 2022

amazon fps oder dropshipping zwei super,bekannte geschäftsmodelle die einen,schwören darauf dropshipping ist der,heilige gral du musst dropshipping,anfangen wenn du ein eigenes business,starten willst wenn du schnell viel geld,verdienen willst die anderen sagen hör,mir auch mit dropshipping das ist alles,nur scam kein mensch glaubt produkte aus,asien,ihr müsst amazon espey machen ja und,dann sagen die drop shock weil wir ja,aber du brauchst du viel kapital für,andere zb und das ist ein viel höheres,risiko und es gibt zu viel konkurrenz,und dann sagen die wieder ja aber du,musst teure werbung bezahlen und so,weiter und so fort das heißt es ist ein,ewiger clinch in diesem video werde ich,dir ganz genau erklären was die vorteile,der beiden geschäftsmodelle sind für wen,das richtige geschäftsmodell,dropshipping ist für jeden das richtige,geschäftsmodell aber zb ist ich habe,heute nicht nur meine persönlichen,erfahrungen meinungen mitgebracht,sondern auch zahlen also ganz klare,zahlen an dem du einfach auch mal die,chancen abwerten kann es zwischen den,beiden denn da gibt es eine riesengroße,überraschung die ich selbst so nicht,erwartet habe und,genau darüber werden in diesem video,sprechen bevor wir los gehen bevor wir,loslegen kurz zu mir mein name ist das,spiel ja ich mache hier auf youtube seit,über drei jahren videos zum thema,onlinehandel ich habe selbst vor über,fünf jahren angefangen und dann nämlich,selbstständig gemacht neben dem,hauptberuf damals hat bei mercedes,gearbeitet habe gestartet viele sachen,falsch gemacht ja so nicht so diese,heroes story sofort durch die decke,gegangen sondern erst mal viele sachen,auch falsch gemacht aber ist geschafft,wirklich finanziell unabhängig und frei,damit zu werden und ja teile meine,erfahrung ich habe einblick in über 1300,produkte die ich selbst oder gemeinsam,mit meinen teilnehmern und kunden auf,den markt gebracht habe das heißt ich,habe auch super viele daten die sonst so,eigentlich fast niemand sieht und davon,werde ich heute auch viel berichten,damit du einfach eine bessere,entscheidungen treffen kannst und ich,auf keinen fall eben für das falsche,geschäftsmodell entscheidest denn,das ist mir ganz wichtig am anfang zu,sagen ich kenne leute die mit,dropshipping sehr viel geld verdienen,ich kenne leute die mir damals dfb sehr,viel geld verdienen beide,geschäftsmodelle können funktionieren,und in der beiden geschäftsmodellen,steckt eine vollkommen andere strategie,und herangehensweise und das ist,eigentlich das was du verstehen muss um,dann zu wählen welches für dich sinnvoll,als wenn es kann sein das dropshipping,für dich die beste wahl ist und damit,viel viel viel schneller und viel mehr,folge haben wirst als dass jemand aber,zb hättest und andersrum ganz genauso,also starten wir mit dem thema nummer,eins und das ist immer eine große frage,wo man sich selbstständig macht und zwar,wie viel geld brauche ich um das,business zu starten und auf der einen,seite und wie aufwändig ist das also was,muss ich alles lernen also wie komplex,ist jetzt endlich so ein business ja,weil ich sag jetzt mal grundsätzlich,wenn jetzt jemand um die ecke kommt und,sagt hey man kann gerade gut geld,verdienen mit raketentiknologie dann,wird das für dich relativ irrelevant,sein weil es zu komplex ist das heißt,das spielt auch eine große rolle wo,finde ich drüber nachdenken denn auch,das ist ein großer unterschied schauen,wir uns erst einmal thema kosten an so,das klischee in diesem markt ist wie,drop shipping kann ich mit null euro,theoretisch staaten bei amazon.de,brauche ich ein paar tausend euro ware,einzukaufen,tatsächlich ist es,teilweise richtig fangen wir mit,dropshipping an der job sharing kaufst,du ja keine eigenen waren ein sondern du,erstellst einfach einen online-shop und,wenn deutschland mit dem shop eines,seiner produkte bestellen dann wird es,nicht bei dir bestellt sondern diese,bestellung wird direkt an den hersteller,und lieferanten weitergeleitet der,sendet das produkt dann zum kunden und,du erhältst als provision sozusagen die,differenz zwischen verkaufspreis und dem,einkaufspreis inklusive versand und so,weiter und so fort so jetzt ist halt,wichtig zu sehen ok in dieser rechnung,bedeutet das ja das jetzt außer dass so,ein shop bauen musste vielleicht,monatlich irgendwie 30 40 euro die,software kostet und ich hoffe das was,eigentlich ja gar kein geld investieren,muss das stimmt auch soweit das problem,ist aber es muss ja einen weg und eine,möglichkeit geben erst mal überhaupt,diese verkäufe zu generieren denn von,alleine kommt niemand auf deinen online,shop wenn du jetzt irgendein neues,produkt auf marco ist ganz egal was du,machst es wird nicht auf einmal zig,tausend leute in deutschland geben die,da über irgendeine facebook gruppe wind,von bekommen haben und jetzt allen ein,brot kaufen wollen das heißt du musst,social media werbung schalten das kann,zb facebook sein das kann auch in,fenster marketing sein,kann youtube werbung sein das kann,theoretisch google wenn man seinen und,zweitens fordert gibt mehrere,möglichkeiten und diese werbung kostet,geld und wenn du jetzt den ablauf siehst,ist muss erst werbung geschaltet werden,bevor ein kunde gewonnen werden kann das,heißt du musst erst geld investieren um,kunden zu gewinnen und hier liegt ein,riesengroßes missverständnis vor manche,leute denken ich kann mal 20 euro,investieren in solche anzeigen und dann,mache ich ja schon die ersten umsätze,und das ist leider einfach das kann mal,sein mit glück ja aber das ist bei 99,prozent von allen projekten nicht der,fall und ich ärgere mich immer ein,bisschen ruhe weil es halt so verkauft,wird wie das business mit dem kein,startkapital brauchst du musst sie hat,vorstellen oder muss verstehen wie,facebook werbung oder instagram werden,funktioniert damit du weißt wie viel,geld wirklich brauchst,facebook zum beispiel hat ja ganz viele,kundendaten ja die haben ihre ganzen,nutzer das sind glaube ich schon 40,millionen und jetzt verkaufst du dein,produkt und letztendlich zeigt facebook,hat werbung aus und facebook kann ja,nicht an alle 45 millionen leute deine,werbung ausspielen so viel budget hast,du ja nicht,sondern die fang vielleicht an und,wollen das erst mal nur 1000 leuten,zeigen und jetzt stell dir vor an diesem,ozean in dem es sicherlich viele leute,gibt die das produkt interessant finden,würden und das will das kochen würden ja,schaltet amazon ich aber erstmal nur auf,1000 leute weil sie da ein paar mal den,das zeigen können weil die wenigsten,leute kaufen denken produkt wenn sie das,erste mal sehen wir müssen es mehrmals,angezeigt bekommen,und du musst jetzt vorstellen die,wahrscheinlichkeit dass unter diesen,1000 direkt leute sind jetzt jetzt,gerade in diesem moment dein produkt,kaufen wollen ist super gering also,wirklich super super super geringen wenn,du jetzt denkt okay wie viele sind das,von tausend vielleicht fünf oder sechs,es wird in den meisten fällen niemand,sein es wird auch unter den ersten,10.000 den meisten fällen niemand sein,und das verstehen die leute nicht du,musst dir vorstellen die leute auf,facebook so lange unterwegs sind selbst,wenn dein produkt für die interessant,ist ist die wahrscheinlichkeit dass sie,es jetzt direkt bei den kaufen würden,super super super super super gering,weil die gerade irgendwie katzen videos,schauen gar nicht an das produkt denken,weil die das produkt vielleicht schon,haben offensichtlich teil der zielgruppe,sind zum beispiel verkaufs ein hundebett,und target ist auf facebook,hundebesitzer ja dann sagst ja gut dann,sind wir schon mal alle irgendwie,grundsätzlich interessiert ja aber 90,wer hat denn kein ende die leute haben,ja alle schon drin so und selbst wenn,sie jetzt sagen ich bin gerade auf der,suche nach dem hundebett selbst wenn sie,dann auf dein ding draufklicken wie hoch,ist die wahrscheinlichkeit dass sie dann,deines kaufen und nicht noch woanders im,internet andere hundebetten sich,anschauen,und das ist super super super super,wichtig zu beachten ich s

Why I quit Amazon FBA After 30 Days - Retail Arbitrage

Let me tell you how I was able to open a successful Amazon FBA store as a 15-year old that generated,over $4,000 in revenue in the first 30 days while only using my bike and let me show you,how you can do the same thing.,I'm not lying and will break down all of the numbers later, but let me tell you why I think,you shouldn't do this.,This all started a little more than a month ago, I was watching YouTube and came across,a video where a person toked about how they drop-shipped from Walmart to amazon successfully.,If you don’t know what dropshipping is, it’s where you find an item on a website,like Walmart, that for example costs $2.98, then you find that same item on a website,like amazon, and sell that item that you can get on Walmart for $2.98 for $14.99.,Then when someone buys that item on Amazon, you go to Walmart and buy that item directly,to the buyer’s address.,You effectively don’t have to keep an inventory of your products, and all you do is find the,products, and keep the difference when someone buys.,This immediately intrigued me, but after doing more research I discovered that dropshipping,is against amazon's terms of service, so that ruled out any chance of me trying it.,I was still intrigued by the idea and found out that if I bought the item from Walmart,and sent it to myself, then sent it to the customer, that was perfectly “LEGAL” based,off of amazon's terms of service.,Knowing if I found one or two good products that I could make thousands of, I spent a,few hours searching for products manually, with no luck.,I then remembered that I can code in python.,I spent the next 2 or so weeks every day writing software that would compare amazon and Walmart,prices to find products.,Long story short, the software worked, but I never ended up using it.,Somewhere along the way of my coding, I came across a video from the channel “Reezy Resells”.,His videos introduced the concept of Retail Arbitrage to me.,This is when you go into physical retail stores and go to clearance isles and find products,that are marked down enough for you to make a profit selling on amazon.,I was actually on vacation in Florida when I found out about this concept, so I spent,the next multiple days watching videos about retail arbitrage on youtube from other creators.,I also spent this time figuring out what I needed to start, like software such as Inventory,Labs and Keepa.,When I got home, the fun begun, I went into Target and started scanning, but with no luck.,I found things that had profit, but none that I was allowed to sell.,I called it a day and went home.,The next day I tried Marshalls and struck gold, or so I thought, I found these Hydrapak,water bottles that were selling at marshalls for $12.99 and amazon for $39.99.,I bought every single one they had on the shelf.,I continued to find a few more products throughout the following days.,On amazon, you are restricted in selling a lot of categories when you start off as a,new seller, and this was a big problem I was facing.,I was constantly finding things to sell that had a good return on investment, but I wasn't,allowed to sell them due to amazon restricting me.,I watched youtube tutorials on how to remove these restrictions and came across the website,,“The Funnel Guru”, that claimed to un resttrict any seller in any category and brand.,I chose the “Topicals, Toys, Grocery” category and I paid the website “$997”,in bitcoin.,I also paid an extra 200$ for them to unrestrict me in a day.,Little did I know this would be the worst decision I could have made.,A few days passed by and they sent a request to amazon for me to get ungated, thankfully,it was denied, and the website refunded me my money.,I will explain later why this was the best thing that could have happened.,While watching these videos on how to get un restricted I also saw that you can get,un restricted by buying from a wholesaler and submitting an invoice to amazon.,I applied to multiple wholesale websites and got accepted to one called “Frontier Coop”.,I placed an order for some Burt's bees chapstik and tea, to get ungated in “Burt's Bees”,,“Topicals”, and “Grocery”.,The total order cost was $119.00.,The order came in a week later and I submitted the invoices to amazon and crossed my fingers.,To my surprise I was ungated.,I now was able to sell things in the grocery and makeup section, this opened up a huge,world of opportunities for me.,This is also about the time my first amazon shipment reached amazon and was processed,by Amazon.,I was starting to see sales and most importantly profits.,I was now coming to my local marshalls every day that I had free time after school.,I also upgraded my in-store product scouting methods by buying a barcode scanner and an,iPad.,I was scanning hundreds of items per hour and finding alot of products at this point.,This is also about the time I found my best selling item which was this, a microfiber,hair towel.,I bought it for $6.99 and sold it for $22.00.,I found 23 of them and bought them all.,Keep in mind I was doing all of this on an electric bike and the distance from the marshalls,to my house was 2 miles.,The towels were all sold within the same day I listed them, that day alone I was able to,hit 500$ in sales.,This was huge for me, I realized that if I was able to find a few products like this,from stores like Target that I can restok, I could be selling hundreds of dollar a day.,Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything else like this.,After this happened, I decided I would focus on products that I could replenish, which,means products that I can continually buy over and over for the same price.,I decided to pay $69 a month to join a group chat that shares different finds like this,with each other.,This was also my second biggest mistake.,Most of the things shared in this group are not helpful at all.,Whenever someone would share an item they found, the other people in the group would,start to sell it and because of supply and demand, the price would end up tanking and,you in turn would end up loosing money.,It's possible that I didn't try enough but I would say not to join any of these groups,for the first couple of months of selling.,This also leads to the first replenishable product I found that I am still selling, so,I can show you what it is, but I can tell you what I make from them.,I buy the product for$ 6.99 flat, I then sell it for $22.99.,I make around an 8$ profit and sell multiple a day.,That’s without listing optimization and I expect this to rise to 10 per day within,the next few months.,Thats $2,400 a month from one product.,This leads me to why I'm stopping, this issue for me with Retail arbitrage is that it's,not scalable.,You have to put time into going out and sourcing to make money.,It's not a get rich quick scheme, or even a get rich scheme.,This is because the amount of profit you make is proportional to the amount of time you,put in.,I prefer something that I can put time into once and simply maintain for an hour once,a week.,If you are thinking of starting a retail arbitrage store, you need to know that this business,strategy does require real dedication of time and it's just something that I can’t commit,to with school.,Now to the part you have all been waiting for, how much money I made.,The simplest way possible to break it down would be, Revenue, Cost of goods, FBA fees,and selling fees.,And if we do the math like this we can see that in a month we have sold $3,912 in products,,and after all fees, we have profited over a thousand.,This puts us at 75% return on investment.,This is where most youtubers would stop, but this does not take alot of expenses into account,,the biggest one being subscriptions.,They will completely kill your profit.,t,Now if we look at the chart that accounts for expenses , we can see that the numbers,are alot less appealing.,I had $330 dollars in expenses and that took our return from investment from 75% down to,53%.,Let's break down the hourly pay becau

Amazon FBA vs Dropshipping - Which One Is Better?

hi there my name is ariana and i'm a,full-time amazon seller today i'm gonna,go over the pros and cons of both amazon,and drop shipping as an amazon seller,i'm a little partial to creating your,own unique product to sell on amazon,however there are massive pros and cons,to both amazon and drop shipping so i,want to go over that for you guys so,that you can make a decision that works,best for you in the ecommerce space,there are typically four business models,that you can follow one is retail,arbitrage this is where you buy items on,sale and then flip it on amazon for a,profit the second model is wholesale and,this is where you go directly to a,wholesaler buy a product at wholesale,price and then sell it on amazon for,full price the third model is private,label this is where you find and buy a,product that already sells on amazon but,maybe you want to change it a little bit,make it better and then put your own,private label on an already existing,product and the fourth model is to,create your own product and this is what,i did for my product vino carts this is,where you create a unique product that,does not yet exist or a product that you,can improve and make better to sell on,amazon each model has its advantages and,it can also fulfill that passive income,lifestyle but i'm sure you've come,across some e-commerce youtubers that,tok about drop shipping so let's dive,into what drop shipping is and compare,it to amazon fba drop shipping is where,you have a storefront either on shopify,or another website and a customer will,go to that website buy your product and,that product will link to a manufacturer,where they have that product in china,and it's usually from aliexpress that,supplier will ship out that order as,soon as a customer makes that purchase,on the website and there's a software,that will link the two so that process,is really seamless for the customer and,the supplier now there are a couple of,cons with this type of setup the first,being the shipping time so a customer,will likely have to wait about two weeks,to even receive the product and as you,know customers can grow impatient with,that kind of time frame and especially,because we're so used to getting quick,shipping especially with amazon fba the,second con is that there's a lot of,advertisement needed in order to push,your storefront so you might have to get,influencers in order to push your,product forward or you'll have to run,ads on both facebook and instagram the,cost for advertisement can get pretty,high and overall you'll need to kind of,convince the customers to go to a site,that they might likely have never heard,of usually customers tend to prefer,sites that they do know of that are,well-known brands or with amazon where,if they know they get free shipping and,easy returns however there are some pros,to drop shipping the first being that,you don't need to buy product since your,product is going to be linked to a,manufacturer in china they're going to,be able to fulfill the orders that come,in so you don't need to handle any of,the actual physical product the second,pro is that you'll of course save in,storage since the inventory is in china,you don't have to have a physical,product at hand the supplier will take,care of that inventory for you so that,you don't have to pay for extra storage,in your home or if you want to rent out,a storage unit or whatever it is also,with amazon fba you have to pay for,storage fees when you send in inventory,to their warehouses so you'll be able to,save with these costs now let's dive,into the pros and cons for amazon amazon,fba is where amazon enables third-party,sellers to sell new and used products on,a fixed price online marketplace,alongside amazon's regular offerings the,first pro for amazon is that amazon fba,handles the pick and pack with fba,you'll buy your product send it into the,amazon warehouse and when you get an,order amazon handles all of the orders,for you so they'll handle all of the,shipping for your product any returns,that the customers may have and they'll,pack your orders as well so it's all,taken care of for you you don't need to,do anything on your own the second pro,is that you can have your own brand on,amazon and this is important because if,you're able to brand your product you'll,have more ability to add descriptions,and images to your listing making it,really appealing to customers i branded,my product vino cards on amazon and it,allowed me to add more description and,images and become amazon's choice in my,product category the third pro is that,amazon has billions of visitors per,month so this is a lot of eyes on your,product a lot of product visibility,which helps you increase your sales,amazon is seeing upwards to 2.5 billion,views per month so again that's a lot of,visibility for your product and,hopefully helps increase your sales,amazon also accounts for 41,of the total e-commerce market in the,u.s so that's a huge leadership for them,and one of the number one marketplaces,for online shopping now let's explore,some of the cons for amazon fba the,first being that you have to have bulk,inventory ready one of the biggest,things to note with amazon is that,running out of inventory is a big no for,your listing amazon tends to really not,favor the listings that are running out,of inventory that are constantly having,to replenish um really quickly and if a,customer isn't able to get your product,then you know usually that customer,either leaves the site or goes to a,different product but amazon wants you,to stay so it's really a big deal to,always have inventory in amazon,warehouses having a lot of inventory in,the amazon warehouses though can be very,costly and that leads me into the next,con which is very high selling fees for,selling on amazon fba you have to pay a,fee just to be selling on amazon that's,a monthly cost and then on top of that,you have to pay for storage and that,usually depends on the size of your,product so that price can vary and,there's also a few miscellaneous fees,that you'll have to take note of plus,they also take a percentage of your,product sales so i really break down all,of these amazon fees for you i'll link a,video up above for you guys to check out,so that you can really see how much,amazon is taking from you each month,however they do take care of everything,so they're also providing a service for,you where it's really hands-off and like,i mentioned earlier they take care of,all of the shipping and the customer,returns and packing all of your orders,so it's a really so it really depends on,how you want to spend your time and,money they do take care of a lot so it's,up to you to make the decision on,whether you want to spend that cost or,not overall i believe amazon fba to be,the best option in terms of stability,consistency and growth if you're looking,for a long-term business strategy then i,would suggest going with amazon fba if,you're looking for a low-cost option and,just testing out the e-commerce market,then drop shipping is a good option for,you whether you're a beginner or not,both amazon and drop shipping have their,advantages but my expertise lies with,amazon fba and i break down my yearly,earnings and costs with my amazon fba,product vino cards on this video here,and by clicking the video here you'll,also learn some of my biggest amazon fba,mistakes so click the video here and i,will catch you in that one
