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

I for one, am okay, with competition among Amazon marketplaces. Although this is in India, perhaps SnapDeal can come to America one day. I believe, that because Amazon is the only dominant player in the U.S. it potentially puts a lot of sellers at risk, if they mainly sell on Amazon. The risk of suspension is always looming above our heads, and nobody likes that feeling. We sellers are trying to not only sell and be merchants, we are trying be kings. Todays’ podcast, episode 17 - is titled: Someone stole my Amazon brand name and logo. Aaron Dick posted: ok so big problem, it looks like someone stole my brand name and logo. They emailed me on Instagram saying that I needed to change my name and logo or they would take legal action… my designer had posted a mockup of the logo before on his Instagram (friend who did the work) and they stole my whole concept. I checked the trademark and there isn’t even one that exists. They don't sell on amazon and they don't even sell the same exact stuff but logo/concept is l

I believe within the next 3 years; we will have Amazon Fulfillment Prime 1-day shipping or less. If amazon is able to pick and pack our FBA products with robots, which is their end goal with Amazon, then their savings would be huge. Currently they employ 222,400 employees. I’m guessing at least 200,000 of those employees are FBA Fulfillment related workers, opening pallet shipments, stocking shelves, picking and packing, at their distribution systems. Now if each of those employees are payed $40,000 dollars a year, x 200,000, that’s 8 billion dollars in savings every year. A FULLY autonomous warehouse means zero mistakes in distribution, means faster distribution, means zero competition is fulfilling products. And as for FBA sellers, means our pick and pack fees will go down drastically, I think. This is: The Secret to Getting Five Star Reviews, and Less 1 Star Reviews on Amazon. This is not the same as podcast 4, where I explain in detail, what I do when you get a 1-star review. Episode 16, is full of gold

Amazon is doing what it always does. It dominates anything it wants to. From ecommerce, to IT Cloud storage, services, from Smart electronics and now to Home Made. For Amazon sellers, this is only good news, especially if you’re in homemade items. A lot of mom and pop shops who create their items with their hands will see explosive growth with Amazon’s advantage in easy check out, distribution and traffic volume. Etsy is here to stay for now, but I think it will be another ebay, second player in the fight of homemade goods over time. Today’s episode is: Quadruple Your Amazon FBA Seller Revenue with This Secret Amazon is a battleground, and in order to defeat the other warriors, especially when some of them have bigger wallets or “the most muscle”. No matter where you are at in your journey, this episode applies to you. The key is, you need to be strategic. With less money the big timers -and the big timers have million-dollar bank rolls, every single decision you make moving forward leads to a different pa

Chinese New Years is a pin-droppingly, slow time of the year for Amazon & manufacturers. On December 1st, my manufacturer let me know well in advance that Chinese New Years comes in February, and according to Wikipedia – it last from Feb 8th -13th. Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. It was created on honor deities as well as ancestors. Cool fact: It’s celebrated by not just China, but Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. That fact is important because, if your sourcing outside of China, you too could be affected by if your manufacturer belongs to one of those countries. When my manufacturer notified me, I immediately placed an order of 4000 units. 8 days later I watched my units moving fairly fast and placed another 4000 units. My manufacturer assured me that my order will be ready before the big holidays. As February came closer, I told my my manufactuer I would be okay if they shipped my units after the holiday. In episode 11-13, I mentioned

Today is a very, very important podcast, The Amazon Million Dollar Question – Strategic Positioning of Brand. Do you position it as a highly premium brand and sell for higher perceived prices, or do you position it as a low cost brand, affordable to your users? No matter where you are at in your private label this question applies to you, whether you’re making a 10k a month, or 500k a month, the ability to reposition a brand is fairly easy on Amazon, so listen up! But before we start, your amazon news flash - because I believe knowledge is power, we all build our decisions based on the knowledge we know, we weigh and measure subconsciously and consciously our decisions. Today’s podcast is: The Amazon Million Dollar Question I recently had this interesting debate over skype with a fellow Amazon Seller, Dale, on this subject matter. He positioned his product as a high premium product, whereas, I positioned my product, as an affordable product. So how do I position my brand? My current strategy is as follo

Today’s podcast is the big Amazon Dilemma, and a cool trick, that could get you in a hotspot, or ahead of your competition. Today’s podcast is called The Amazon inventory Gamble, and I’ll abbreviate it as “AIG”. If your starting to see some sales, and I mean good sales, you’ll be presented with the Amazon inventory gamble. This is a high stakes game folks, and for some of you listening out there, I’m sure you probably have done what I’m about to say, so hold onto your chair tight, grab that coffee out, and let’s explain. I dub it the Amazon Inventory Gamble/AIG, because you will get to the point where you are selling well, around 50 units a day. With those 50 units a day, lets say you earn 16 dollars per unit per day.  That turns out to be revenue of $800/day going back into your bank account. Now in order to support your business, and also be a crazy, near death entrepreneur, you need to be willing to take calculated risks. At an average of  $600/day, that an average of $8400/two weeks, and $16,800 every m

So what’s the big secret that gets you ahead. How do you gain advantage over your competitors? This topic is about the big secret that gets you ahead…being the Amazon Seller Entrepreneur. What is the Amazon Seller Entrepreneur, you ask! It’s the entrepreneur that can do every step of his private label. EVERY fricken step. I’ll term the work Amazon Seller Entrepreneur, and call these folks ASE. An ASE can and will do all of the following: 1. Source his product 2. Communicate and build solid relationships with his manufacturers 3. Design his product after teaching himself how to use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator 4. Go to the bank and setup his business bank account. Set his LLC up. Register using legal zoom for his trademarks to get things moving faster. 5. He will receive his product samples from his manufacturer and the before buying his full batch, make slight modifications after finding slight improvements and tweaks where necessary. 6. He will constant keep checking how he can improve his product

Everyone’s started to sell on Amazon, it’s the gold rush of ecommerce. But I believe, you shouldn’t purely rely on Amazon’s traffic and source of revenue. The real gold is building your off -site authority website that builds your brand. I mentioned this in the previous podcast, but today I’m going to go into in detail. Building your authority website is extremely important. Noticed how I emphasized Authority. This is the site that represents your business, yourself, and EVERYTHIGN YOU HAVE ON THE LINE. Make sure it’s very high quality, it says what it does, it delivers what it says, and helps build your business. I believe Amazon is the main ecommerce platform. I’ve built my authority website to redirect users to amazon’s platform as that keeps my prices uniform across sales channels even when I change prices, run low on inventory etc… my prices are all the same across the board, and it makes things simple. What’s the whole point of creating your off-site authority brand website you ask? Ahhhh where to st

Protecting your Brand on Amazon Amazon is a jungle out there and there are poachers. The ones who kill animals, and rare species. Except on Amazon, these are your busiensses. It’s important that you take as many steps as possible to protect your business and in this episode we go through it all. Hijackers, highjackers and highjackers. Highjacking is probably worth a discussion in itself, for another episode, but basically highjackers are typically from China, see your product, source it, and sell it on your listing as well. There are ways to protect against highjackers of all sorts. To protect from this case, you first want to register your brand in Amazon’s brand registry. This does a few things: This means you will have exclusive ownership of the buy box, as well as the product description, product images, and bullets. No one can change that without your permission! This means if someone tries to counterfeit your product, you can have them removed This means no one else can use your brand name – on

This podcast will give you the advantage to sell better than your competittors and ultimately and potentially make you earn more money passively every month through secrets, tips, and advice on selling on Amazon. Today’s topic is on Amazon PPC. The ever evolving, competitive, and most-always expensive platform for advertising your amazon product(s). I’m going to explain the most common strategy, but then also give you a very effective strategy that is barely talked about, and almost kept secret among amazon pros. First off, The reason why Amazon PPC is so effective, is because you can test a product, have no reviews, and still see if it sells. Usually, if it sells without any reviews aka social proof, that means it’s a very good seller. So therefore, A product with reviews, and with PPC, and good sales copy, creates a beautiful income stream, on that can dive you hundreds of thousands, and ultimately millions as a business. So knowing this, it is all in our best interests to become master of Amazon PPC.

Podcast 5: Private Label on Amazon Success Pointers That Every Seller Should Know As always before we talk strategy your daily amazon news: Amazon founders reused rocket successful launches and lands   Now back to the podcast: One of the major factors in my private label success was taking an existing product and making it better. I search used Alibaba and was looking for my product, but a variation of it that did not yet exist on Amazon. I find it absolutely pointless to take a product that is already on Amazon and sell it as well. Why? Have a unique product, where your take on it is not currently selling on Amazon Because your’re not only splitting your sales with another existing seller, but your also do yourself a disfavor by not being a unique product. Being unique is the name of the game. If you can differentiate yourself from the rest of the competitors it means the difference between 1-5 sales a day and 40-50 sales per day. Your brand name is a major factor to success. I believe branding is e

What up Guys, its’ David Aladdin and this is the 4th Amz Secrets .com Podcast, where we gain the advantage over other sellers and ultimately become KINGS in life. Today’s topic is “What I did when I got a 1-star review” But before we start - As always, your morning amazon news DE-briefing: According to Quartz - http://qz.com/601084/amazons-strategy-for-europe-expansion-includes-armchair-grocery-shopping/ So you’re wondering, how do you overcome the outlier reviewers. Those rouge reviews, that no matter how good your product is, they find something bad, and then give you a 1-star review. Well today that happened to one of my products. To get more specific without giving my actual product away, because I believe in absolute transparency in facts, and details, my product is a pretty good performer. It has 295 mainly 5 star reviews. 3% 4 star reviews, 0% 2 star reviews, and 1% 1 star reviews. I hate 1 star reviews, as should you. I went about my private label business in the belief that I would be the best p

Podcast 3: 1st quarter madness analysis on Amazon and Sea Shipping Woes It’s 1st quarter baby and its January 22nd, and you guys are listening to AmzSecrets. Forget intros, because WE’RE here to get to the point. Down and gritty. Analytical and sciency. News segment on - bad Private Labeling practices. Now time for 1st quarter analysis. 5 Things That have been going on in my mind: I must be ready for 4th quarter come next year. It feels like 4th quarter is tomorrow. That when I calculate production & sea shipping into my equations I only have 2-3 cycles of that before 4th Basically it plays out like this. I order product. This takes 3 months. I know that Is a weird long amount of time, but my manufacturer is busy. 3 months is average, at least that’s the time it took on my last order. They said 1.5 months. But it turned out to be 3 months. Thankfully I accounted for delays in production. What does that mean for my business. I was airshipping in the past, but I NEED TO sea ship to decrease costs. My a

The number one goal is to understand profit vs revenue. Profit is the amount you make after it *costs to make product *costs to ship product from manufacture to your house or to amazon *costs of inspection *costs of labeling, boxing *costs of keeping it on amazon,keeping it The perfect product must be perfect. Let me say that again. The perfect product must be perfect. Get 10-15 different samples of your product from different manufacturers. If you are truly serious about building a solid business, you must have the best product. I’m serious. Don’t waste time on a mediocre product because you will get stomped on by not only the competition, but your customers who will be posting bad reviews. I can’t stress how important this is.   Ask your friends if this product is something you like. Do you believe in your product. You must through the highs and lows of business and entrepreneurship. Does the product fit you. I tend to only get into product labels that fit me. I’m an outdoors guy. I love sports. I

I would go to wake up at 6am, get to work
