My First Amazon FBA Private Label Product - The Honest Results
| startTime | durationTime | text |
| 00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | this is my first private-label product |
| 00:00:01 | 00:00:05 | and it's been on Amazon for about three |
| 00:00:03 | 00:00:08 | months now and I want to show you how |
| 00:00:05 | 00:00:10 | I'm doing a quick side note I don't |
| 00:00:08 | 00:00:13 | consider what Arianna did as hyper |
| 00:00:10 | 00:00:14 | lately what she created was way cooler |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | than any private label product out there |
| 00:00:14 | 00:00:19 | the last two months have been a bit of a |
| 00:00:17 | 00:00:21 | struggle especially after the holidays |
| 00:00:19 | 00:00:22 | to catch you up to speed I sell on |
| 00:00:21 | 00:00:25 | Amazon I have one product that does |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:27 | about forty fifty thousand dollars worth |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:28 | of sales Arianna came to me and she said |
| 00:00:27 | 00:00:31 | that she wanted to learn how to make |
| 00:00:28 | 00:00:33 | passive income online I think a lot of |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | us do and so I taught her the method |
| 00:00:33 | 00:00:37 | that I use to launch my product which I |
| 00:00:35 | 00:00:39 | call the passion product formula |
| 00:00:37 | 00:00:40 | basically what she did is she had an |
| 00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | idea for this company called |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:44 | Dino cards which is a wine course and |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | flash card form so we made a mock up we |
| 00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | tested it with friends it was a really |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:51 | cool idea from there she started |
| 00:00:48 | 00:00:53 | advertising on Instagram getting some |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:55 | people interested in the product created |
| 00:00:53 | 00:00:57 | what I call a product launch group which |
| 00:00:55 | 00:00:59 | is the number one tip I have for anybody |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | that's gonna be selling on Amazon start |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:02 | a product launch group I did a video |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:05 | about that that you can check out more |
| 00:01:02 | 00:01:07 | information up here the product launch |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | group it allows you to get a bunch of |
| 00:01:07 | 00:01:10 | people into a Facebook group who help |
| 00:01:09 | 00:01:13 | you develop a product and then when you |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:15 | go to sell it on Amazon ultimately |
| 00:01:13 | 00:01:17 | you'll get a lot of reviews and a lot of |
| 00:01:15 | 00:01:19 | sales quickly but one thing that Arianna |
| 00:01:17 | 00:01:20 | did that was really cool and I did with |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:23 | performance nut butter my products as |
| 00:01:20 | 00:01:26 | well would sell it on Kickstarter first |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:28 | so she Arianna raised the money on |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:31 | Kickstarter for her first production run |
| 00:01:28 | 00:01:33 | from there we bought about two thousand |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | units worth lovino cards which was a |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | mistake we toked about that in the the |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | first month video the other mistake we |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:41 | made is we did airship we ship the |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:43 | product from China but for the first 500 |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:46 | or so we did air shipping and a lot of |
| 00:01:43 | 00:01:48 | them got damaged so if you're gonna do |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | air shipping first off its air shipping |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | is way more expensive I don't recommend |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:54 | doing it but if you are gonna do air |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:56 | shipping make sure that they double box |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | them so that brings us up to speed more |
| 00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | or less and in the first month re on |
| 00:01:58 | 00:02:01 | this one about a hundred fifty units and |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:03 | get about a thousand three thousand |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | dollars revenue a thousand dollar profit |
| 00:02:03 | 00:02:07 | so here tell us about the numbers for |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:10 | the last two months |
| 00:02:07 | 00:02:12 | the last two months it's been around |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | $1,500 it's not too bad consider |
| 00:02:12 | 00:02:16 | that I haven't been putting that much |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | work into it so it's been solving on its |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:21 | own but kind of reflecting on it it |
| 00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | could do so much better may be honest |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | that's been a bit of a struggle for me |
| 00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | watching Arianna with Fino cards because |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:29 | I'm extremely proud of her she made this |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | product a reality which most people |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:34 | never do I do my online business |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | full-time so to see our town only |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:37 | spending a few hours a week which is |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:39 | still a ton for her considering she has |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:41 | a full-time job it's been a struggle for |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | me because I'm constantly thinking hey I |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:45 | put more energy more time into this and |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:47 | it's gonna blow up but she does a much |
| 00:02:45 | 00:02:49 | better job at balancing life than I do |
| 00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | she has does a much better job at |
| 00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | enjoying life so let's tok about it why |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:56 | do you think that sales have been down a |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | little bit in the last few months yeah I |
| 00:02:56 | 00:03:01 | I've been thinking about this and they |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:03 | think it's one I just haven't been |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | putting that much effort into it and so |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | naturally if I spend a lot more time |
| 00:03:05 | 00:03:10 | trying to reach out to people get |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:12 | influencers and really kind of hype it |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | up and create events around the product |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | I'm assuming that it would bring sales |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:19 | up and more awareness of the product |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:21 | overall but I just haven't been doing |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:24 | that and I and it's a lot of reasons I |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | think I'm just unmotivated after the |
| 00:03:24 | 00:03:28 | holidays and kind of caught up in the |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:31 | whole like new year taking care of a ton |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:33 | of stuff and to be fair you know cards |
| 00:03:31 | 00:03:35 | did really well during the Christmas |
| 00:03:33 | 00:03:38 | rush because a lot of people bought it |
| 00:03:35 | 00:03:41 | as presents as Christmas gifts |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:43 | you know white elephants it was a lot |
| 00:03:41 | 00:03:44 | easier to sell I felt like like it |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:46 | almost sold itself because people are |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | searching for gifts unique gifts and |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:51 | this product really just hits all of |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:53 | those but still I mean to be 760 units a |
| 00:03:51 | 00:03:56 | month you know I think January February |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:57 | is about sixty units each month people |
| 00:03:56 | 00:03:59 | are still looking for this product so |
| 00:03:57 | 00:04:02 | yeah it's somewhat of a seasonal product |
| 00:03:59 | 00:04:03 | but at the same time it's not fully so I |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:04 | think the number one thing when you're |
| 00:04:03 | 00:04:08 | selling a new product is about getting |
| 00:04:04 | 00:04:10 | reviews and and when we first launched |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | Arianna got eight reviews like right out |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:15 | of the gate one mistake I think we made |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | is not sending enough messages right out |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:17 | of the gate |
| 00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | is as soon as you launch it you want to |
| 00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | send messages to everybody you know and |
| 00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | tiknically you're not just asked |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | friends and family for review but people |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | in the product launch group you can ask |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:28 | for review yeah I've reviews in that was |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | one of my I don't want to say critikisms |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:31 | because that's a too strong of a word |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:33 | one thing that I thought could have been |
| 00:04:31 | 00:04:35 | improved is sending out more messages |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:36 | but I do want to get more data credit |
| 00:04:35 | 00:04:38 | because what we started doing was a |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:40 | weekly meeting so once a week I asked |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | her alright how many reviews do you have |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:44 | and how many people did you reach out to |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:47 | for reviews and within a few weeks it |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:49 | went from 8 reviews to 20 reviews and I |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:51 | think the way you got that actually how |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:54 | did you get those it was mainly people I |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:56 | knew like just sent follow-up like hey |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:58 | can you please leave a review here's a |
| 00:04:56 | 00:05:00 | link like really kind of make it as easy |
| 00:04:58 | 00:05:02 | problem it's not friends people from the |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | product launch crew Amazon's watching |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:07 | people that supported it on Kickstarter |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:09 | just letting them know hey reviews mean |
| 00:05:07 | 00:05:10 | a lot like we'd really appreciate it but |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:13 | we didn't do any kind of incentivization |
| 00:05:10 | 00:05:14 | we didn't do any kind of coupons the one |
| 00:05:13 | 00:05:16 | thing we did do for the first month is |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:18 | have it at a discount and we let people |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | know that it was gonna be at a slight |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | discount yeah and that's appealing off |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | the bat so it helps so in the coming |
| 00:05:22 | 00:05:27 | months what are you gonna do to grow the |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:30 | sales I'm to grow it I did see a big |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:32 | difference just directly communicating |
| 00:05:30 | 00:05:34 | with people like actually having a |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:36 | conversation seeing what they want from |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:39 | the product and kind of have them be |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:40 | engaged that was a huge thing from our |
| 00:05:39 | 00:05:43 | launch group on Facebook that that |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:45 | interaction meant a lot to people and if |
| 00:05:43 | 00:05:47 | I continue that on Instagram for example |
| 00:05:45 | 00:05:50 | was like a major platform to to really |
| 00:05:47 | 00:05:52 | kind of have influencers be on board and |
| 00:05:50 | 00:05:54 | get feedback from people I want to |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:56 | continue that and I think that'll just |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:58 | help with spreading the word like people |
| 00:05:56 | 00:06:00 | will tell other people about the product |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:01 | and that's huge like word of mouth is |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | huge what has held you back like what |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:07 | keeps you struggling from putting more |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:09 | time into I'm also curious for myself |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:11 | I mean is it yeah what's the struggle |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:13 | with |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:15 | I mean honestly like after work like I |
| 00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | just don't feel like doing that like I'm |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:20 | tired or I'd rather do something else |
| 00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | like of course there are little tasks of |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:24 | like whatever else that I have to take |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:26 | care of it so I mean she cooks me dinner |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | she could and that that's one thing I |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:31 | sort to give her a hard time a lot of |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:33 | times because I'm like I really want you |
| 00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | know cards to be successful for a number |
| 00:06:33 | 00:06:38 | of different reasons for me when I had a |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:40 | corporate job I was depressed I hated it |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:43 | I quit and I've put all my energy and |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:45 | effort into trying to create my own you |
| 00:06:43 | 00:06:46 | know trying to take freedom and so now I |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:48 | feel like I've created this like perfect |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:50 | formula that worked so well for me with |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:52 | performance not butter and I want to |
| 00:06:50 | 00:06:55 | give it to you so you can quit your job |
| 00:06:52 | 00:06:57 | but I think I need one thing I really |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:59 | struggle with is remembering that you |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:02 | don't hit your job yeah you actually |
| 00:06:59 | 00:07:04 | enjoy life and on top of that not only |
| 00:07:02 | 00:07:06 | do you go to your job then you come home |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:08 | and you cook me dinner and like you know |
| 00:07:06 | 00:07:11 | you spend time cleaning up the place and |
| 00:07:08 | 00:07:13 | then I try to meet up with people like I |
| 00:07:11 | 00:07:15 | try to balance personal life more though |
| 00:07:13 | 00:07:17 | with business and I think the main |
| 00:07:15 | 00:07:19 | difference too is that I went into it |
| 00:07:17 | 00:07:21 | already with the job that I wanted to |
| 00:07:19 | 00:07:24 | keep in order to keep me a flow and to |
| 00:07:21 | 00:07:28 | pay for the side business so my focus is |
| 00:07:24 | 00:07:30 | is not all on be no cards and it's not |
| 00:07:28 | 00:07:33 | all on my full-time job like it's it's |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:35 | trying to balance it and so right now I |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:38 | just have to learn to prioritize like my |
| 00:07:35 | 00:07:40 | full-time job is gonna still be part of |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | my day-to-day because I want to make |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:45 | sure that I have enough to support |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:47 | financially Vino cards but at the same |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | time like I do want me no cards to be |
| 00:07:47 | 00:07:52 | successful and to be success |
| 00:07:49 | 00:07:53 | ya know how long it took me to get to be |
| 00:07:52 | 00:07:56 | making so I think middle cards right now |
| 00:07:53 | 00:07:59 | is doing about maybe $1,500 a month in |
| 00:07:56 | 00:08:01 | sales yeah and it's probably about $500 |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | profit do you know how long it took me |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:06 | to make $500 profit online a lot longer |
| 00:08:03 | 00:08:08 | than it took you like I have no doubt |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:10 | that if Arianna puts all her energy |
| 00:08:08 | 00:08:12 | into this company and she quit and then |
| 00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | this whole time they did wouldn't be |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:16 | able to support it yeah but I mean it's |
| 00:08:14 | 00:08:19 | still like for me the struggle is |
| 00:08:16 | 00:08:22 | knowing what a great product it is like |
| 00:08:19 | 00:08:26 | I love vino carts I love the uniqueness |
| 00:08:22 | 00:08:28 | of it it's so fun to like learn and read |
| 00:08:26 | 00:08:30 | Vino cards like I use it myself like |
| 00:08:28 | 00:08:32 | that's it's such a great product but |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:34 | it's knowing that it's so it has all |
| 00:08:32 | 00:08:36 | this potential but I I can't or I |
| 00:08:34 | 00:08:39 | haven't put enough time into it so it's |
| 00:08:36 | 00:08:40 | it's wanting to grow it and have it |
| 00:08:39 | 00:08:43 | because you've been more successful than |
| 00:08:40 | 00:08:45 | what it is now but finding the time to |
| 00:08:43 | 00:08:47 | do that and so for me it's it's really |
| 00:08:45 | 00:08:49 | just the price like prioritizing that |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:51 | and finding the balance so here's the |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:54 | big thing I want to point out is like I |
| 00:08:51 | 00:08:56 | mentioned earlier Ariana so I really |
| 00:08:54 | 00:08:58 | want to teach more people the passion |
| 00:08:56 | 00:08:59 | product formula to create something and |
| 00:08:58 | 00:09:01 | for those that don't know a passion |
| 00:08:59 | 00:09:02 | product is basically instead of just |
| 00:09:01 | 00:09:04 | private labeling something to create |
| 00:09:02 | 00:09:05 | something unique something different |
| 00:09:04 | 00:09:07 | that doesn't already exist something |
