Amazon Private Label Podcast For Fba Sellers - Sell More On Amazon Fba, E-commerce Podcast - Amzsecrets

It’s been a crazy ride so far, and it’s just the beginning. Christmas, Black Friday, Halloween, Cyber Monday, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, New Years they’re all coming. War is here. But in all honesty, think about it. As a kid we grew up wondering how Santa Clause delivered gifts to everyone’s chimney on Christmas Day. How he had his elves working non-stop over at the North Pole. In reality, it’s businesses preparing as soon as January, maybe May, for the big 4th quarter that is coming. For the non-american’s listening to this podcast, you probably think us Americans are absolutely crazy, with our 6+ holidays sequenced in a row, not including birthdays, and seasonal changes. Some sellers absolutely just focus on Halloween, the one holiday that most sellers don’t target, and some sellers hit extremes and target it with thousands of variations of costumes, masks, fake blood, you name it, they sell it. My fourth quarter preparation began in May. I started doing projections based on a previous years numbers, whic

AS 56: My Simple Rules for Winning These are rules I hold and learned thus far in business - and which I use when making decisions. Rapid iterations while staying focused. If you don’t reiterate on your product, you allow your competitors to build better products than you Stay focused (yes mentioned twice) – By staying focusd, it means you are not working on too many things. It means you are here to build the brand, and not just sell products. It means you have set goals both long term and short term and tracking metrics along the way Work with only top notch talent. The talent you work with dictates the outcome. Many people today have the same ideas, but all different executions. Different ideas Good product + good marketing. Having a solid product means less customer service. It means more word by mouth. Good marketing allows the world the ability to buy that product. Both equate to the brands you know of today. Customer feedback into implementations. This isn’t emphasized enough. In fact, many peop

Today’s podcast, episode 54: Selling on your e-commerce site hurts your Amazon sales – Website Strategy I’ve been meaning to bring this discussion on because I haven’t seen anyone talking about it. IT’s crazy! In fact, I remember around 4 months ago, I briefly brought it up with someone, and they knew exactly what I’m talking about, and it was like they didn’t want anyone to know about it.

Its’ been about 1 year of full onslaught selling. A lot has happened. If you’ve followed the journey, you’ll understand that it’s been easily 16-18 hour days. There is no such thing as the 4 hour work week. I loved the book, but its not the reality of the true lean startup. This is a long grind. It’s a 16-18 hour day is awesome. I don’t see this as work. I find building businesses fun, equivalent to playing competitive soccer. Some days you lose soccer games. But the victories are awesome. If you’ve ever scored a soccer goal, you know the adrenaline rush that comes with it. A fast, riveting increase burst of energy, warm pricks of sunshine on your face, and a release of dopamine in the brain. Entrepreneurship is just the same. I find that it’s not the amount of money that your pulling in per day, or per month, but actually the decisions you make in your business, is what creates that same adrenaline rush that you get in soccer. It’s when, after months of hard work, the decision to launch a certain product, o

There is a massive grey-hat strategy I discovered today. I don’t know anyone talking about it. I have heard of a few people saying someone is selling their product at a more expensive price, but no one truly has talked about the ridiculousness and extreme nature about it.
