QA Selling Online at Amazon
35 Years ago I was shopping at Walmart and stole a Dinky car! When I got home, my mom reported me to the store by phone, and they said I could keep it... But instead my mom put in on a shelf and made me look at it for the rest of my life without ever touching it...

Top 5 Tools For Amazon Sellers To Use Outside of Amazon FBA

These are 5 tools (plus a bonus one) that I use daily in my eCommerce businesses to help me save time or achieve goals... I'm going to talk to you about the top 5 tools that I use as a seller but outside of Amazon. Basically outside of any e-commerce. So these apply to an E-commerce that you're doing. If you're doing Shopify, if you have WordPress blogs if you have WooCommerce, Amazon FBA. It doesn’t matter if you're selling on Etsy or if you’re selling at the flea market. Maybe not the flea market but these will apply to the majority of e-commerce. So these are tools that don't belong to one platform. And I'm gonna start... let me give them to you in no particular order because one may be more important than others depending on what you are doing and depending on what am I doing at that time. And we'll start with Canva. Canva.com. Canva is what I use almost daily. I use this for in my podcast. I create my banner ads for the podcast. I create images that I get from another tool which is Pixabay. Pixabay.com. This is where I get my images. And if I want images and I want to edit these images, I'm going to take them over to Canva. I'm still talking about Canva. I just brought up the second tool just because it fit in there. Now, I'm gonna edit these pictures in Canva. I can add text. I can crop them. I can do a ton of stuff. If you want to, you can even include sound in a picture, but that is a premium version, all right. Now another tool that I use, like I said I'm gonna grab the pictures from Pixabay. So pixabay.com is where I can grab a ton of pictures, thousands and thousands of pictures that basically you can use without attribution rights. Without having them infringing on somebody's copyright. Those pictures are there for you to use freely. Now you have the option to buy a coffee to the owner of that picture or not. It is up to you. Nothing is mandatory. They’re free for you to grab. Now, what I always do is remove backgrounds from a lot of sceneries from even my own product pictures. And I remove the background even if it is pure white. I can remove it and have only a PNG file, which is a transparent file, of only my product. When you have a transparent file of only your product, you can drag and drop your product on top of any image and it feels like it fits there. It belongs in the picture because there's no background. There's no white background, there's no black, gray, nothing. Now to do this in seconds, you wouldn't believe this. This may be the number one tool just because how cool it is. And let me tell you, none of these tools, not one of them I'm affiliated with none. All of these have a free version. I use the free version for most of these and you can too. This one I do pay like $7 a month and it is called Clipping Magic. Clipping Magic, if you are for example up until not too long ago months ago, I was going on Fiverr to get backgrounds removed for every picture. And every picture that I got background removal cost me let’s say $5 on Fiverr, right? And they would do a great job. I can't complain. Great job done there. Now the thing is, in 10 seconds, literally 10 seconds, I can remove... and if it is a product on a white background, I would say it takes me 3 seconds to remove the background. There's a green button where you're gonna click over what you want to stay in the picture and then you click outside, basically on if it's a blue sky, you click with the red button on the blue sky and it disappears instantly. So it would remove your product and leave your product alone. You can try it for free I'm pretty sure. Basically, just go to clippingmagic.com. That’s it. clippingmagic.com. And so that is Canva, Pixabay, Clipping Magic, that is three. Number four is WordPress. WordPress where you can create free blogs. Basically, you would have to pay for hosting, if you don't have a server. I do have my own server just because for many years I've had to...
