My Amazon FBA Fees Are Wrong | Ep. #107

Amazon FBA Fees Age, is shipping his new product to Amazon FBA, but he noticed in his inventory that the Amazon FBA fees are over $18. The product is the size of a book and only weighs 3.4 ounces. The sale price is $21 and he believes the fees are too much. Well Age, the fees are ridiculous. This tells me that the problem may be an easy one to fix. Amazon FBA has the wrong dimensions of your product's package. I say the product package because the product most times could be bigger than the package. If it requires assembly, if it's inflatable or if it extends. My recommendation is to check your packaging dimensions on the listing, and if it looks correct contact Amazon seller support to fix the problem. I believe that as soon as your product arrives they may find the error and fix it on their own. To contact support, open seller support and on the top right of the page, click help, then when the window opens scroll down and press "contact us" Hope this helps Check out the last episode here: Amazon FBA, Can My Friends or Family Buy My Products | Ep. #106 Thanks Quin

Amazon FBA, Can My Friends or Family Buy My Products | Ep. #106

I often see people asking if their co-worker, mother sister or their dog can buy their Private label product on Amazon FBA... Of course, they can buy your product on Amazon FBA Everyone can, and should buy your product! Someone mentioned on a Facebook group that anyone that is friends with you on Facebook is not allowed to buy your product! What??? So, you honestly think Amazon can see who my friends are, and even if they could, they would even go through the trouble of checking my friend's lists and comparing reviews per IP or per friends name and address? If you believe that would happen, you live in a world of paranoia! Let everyone that you know buy you private label product or even your retail arbitrage products. Actually, you should convince them to buy bigger quantities, lol To be quite honest I share my products links with friends and family all the time. what I don't do is ask them to give me a review. This is an Amazon FBA episode, but you can also hear or read: what should I do to supplement my degree to be successful in marketing field

How To Reach 7 Figures Selling On Amazon (1 Million USD) #108

Is it possible to reach 1 Million dollars in sales the first year selling on Amazon FBA? Today we have a question from Miguel about selling on Amazon "Hey, Quin Thanks for all the free content on the podcast. I have a question about Amazon. I just started selling a couple months ago, but I'm not even close to the numbers I see other people share on Facebook groups. My question to you is: Do you really believe it is possible to reach One million dollars in sales the first year selling on Amazon?" That is a great question, Miguel. I have 2 things to tell you about this question 1 - I will start with the least important. I want you to know something about the Facebook screenshots. Every single time you see a screenshot of a seller account that has numbers on it, they are trying to sell you something. It doesn't matter if the numbers are small, medium or huge. And, it doesn't matter if there is no sales pitch attached or not! You are being sold to! That's it! Most times when the screenshot shows big numbers, the seller has a course to sell or is trying to sell someone else's course for a commission. But sometimes they may just be trying to sell themselves! what does this mean, you may ask? Well, it means that this Amazon seller is trying to get attention to his profile, so you can snoop around and see he is a business growth coach, has developed some software, or has a new FB group and are looking for people to join. Others are expecting a bunch of PMs from users (and they will get them, trust me) But no matter what, every single time, there is something being sold! banknotes-bills-cash-million- bucks-dollars-selling on Amazon 2 - This is the most important point of the 2, and I want you to listen very carefully to this! Making 1 million dollars in gross sales, selling on Amazon is possible and happens more often than in non-Amazon businesses, BUT... That doesn't mean anything! Making a million bucks in sales is not a stat to be proud of. Don't get me wrong, a million bucks is lots of money, but selling a million doesn't mean you get to keep anything. A good goal would be to net $200k or $250k. Now those are real numbers that matter. Actually, I know many sellers making over a million and some making several million per year, but they are very very tight financially because there is no cash flow. They are running high sales numbers but tinny margins, so it's more of a volume game, and those are pretty risky! So, to answer your question, yes it is possible, but that is not the most important number you should look at. By the way, Always define your goals, or else they will not mean anything if you achieve them. Set your goals and write them down! That's it for today. I hope this helps and make sure to listen to our last episode: My Amazon FBA Fees Are Wrong Thanks QA
