Today we have the 10 top tips to successfully launch a product on Amazon!

1 - DO NOT SEND ALL OF YOUR STOCK INTO AMAZON"S WAREHOUSE STRAIGHT AWAY.

If you do this, you are most likely going to face costs from Amazon for storing your product.

Now, storage is a necessary business expense but you want to avoid Amazon's Long Term storage costs as these are very expensive and will cut into your profit margins.

Instead, send Amazon approximately 4 weeks worth of stock, then when you need to top up, you can always send in more. This way you are going to avoid encountering any long term storage costs as your products are selling out in smaller batches.

You will still need a place to store your products before you ship them to Amazon's warehouse, you can send them to your home but this isn't the most practical.

You can use a freight forwarder, but from our experience with them, they don't understand how the Amazon business model works and it makes working efficiently difficult.

We recommend joining us at Superhero Freight. We help to process and manage your stock in one of our warehouses after assisting you with shipping. This way we can provide you with our level our service as we process your orders.

2 - SELL IN AS MANY COUNTRIES AS POSSIBLE.

The more places you sell, the faster you are going to sell out. The faster you sell out, the sooner you will need to reorder so that you can sell out again!

By shipping to as many countries as possible, you will be able to identify which country generates the most sales for you and then focus more attention on those areas, again increasing your sales rate.

3 - NEVER LAUNCH WITHOUT A PPC CAMPAIGN.

Amazon has millions of customers, you don't.

Amazon is allowing you to tap into their customer base and offer your products. The most efficient way to tap into as many customers as possible is with a 'Pay Per Click' advertising campaign.

This allows you to bid on certain keywords or phrases that people are searching into Amazon, the higher your bid, the higher your product will rank on Amazon when a customer searches for the keyword you have bid on.

These may all sound like expenses to you, but form our years of experience, we have found this to be the most cost-effective way to do things while at the same time maximising your reach and returns as an Amazon seller.

There are 7 more top tips to successfully launching your product on Amazon in today's episode so be sure to stick around to the end to make sure you get them all!

Just by listening to this podcast, you are doing something to move yourself and your business forward.

You're in the right place, now it's time to succeed.

It's great that you do, but you don't just want to be cheering people on all the time, we want to be cheering you on as well.

I'm sure you've heard of 'the secret' before. A book based on the Law of Attraction.

Now there is some truth to this, but the way the book was marketed was as a 'secret', a mysterious thing that no one has told you about before. The way to make things happen in your life.

It is a great book for its principal but it misses out on the other half of what you need to do to get what you want. Which is actually getting up, going out and doing the things that will help you get there!

You cannot just think a business into existence, you need to actually do the paperwork to make it legitimate.

I believe there are the same 'secrets' around money that are hidden. The majority of people think they understand money as they receive a routine paycheck, but they are also likely the people who have no money left at the end of the month.

But it's been hard for people to learn because it's been made that way. Didn't you grow up being fed the idea that it was rude to talk about money or to ask how much someone makes?

Well, have you ever wondered why that is?

For example, hundreds of years ago, wealthy families that lived in huge manor houses would have many servants working for them. The family and the servants rarely spoke. This meant that the information the wealthy knew about money was never shared around or passed on to help those with less, get more.

Instead, they kept to themselves. and it created the divide. Those with money were considered stuck up and snobby by those without it. In a nutshell, this would mean that the poor would never learn the 'secrets' about how to use money. While the rich stay rich and use money the way it is supposed to be used.

Education reflects this too. It was and is there to produce workers for the government that are happy to receive a paycheck. That is why entrepreneurship isn't taught in schools just like money management isn't either.

BREAK THE RULES!

In order to get where you want to go, you need to think differently than the average person.

You should consider yourself more than the average person if you aren't blindly following the path they have laid out for you and instead, you are making your own way.

We're not saying that you should start looking down on anyone or that you are better than anyone else but you must rise up if you wish to get ahead.

"What's the least I can do?" - If you're not prepared to take a mitigated risk, you are never going to get to where you want to be.

Many people are afraid to start a business because of risk. But isn't staying exactly where you are and doing nothing, the biggest risk you can ever take? Especially if your goal is to own your own business, you have to start somewhere!

If you can't be bothered to start a company, you don't deserve to receive the rewards of having a company.

People talk about things like they get it, they convince themselves that they understand things, even when they have never looked into a subject before. They cling to the smallest pieces of information they have heard on a topic and push these points to others.

But when you actually know what you are talking about because you are living through your business, that is how you know you are on the path to success and that it is right to consider yourself above average!

2021 is right around the corner and we wont to share what our plan is for the coming year.

We aren't trying to blow our own trumpet, but instead show you that if we can operate this many business projects at once, then you are certainly able to achieve your goals within your business too.

When you chunk it down and get it out of your head and onto paper, you can begin to connect the dots seeing the bigger picture and avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Make sure you are setting realistic goals and then be logical about how you execute them. You will need capital, so ensure that you have that first to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way.

We made our partner Ali's journey more public to show you what is achievable with your amazon business, as well as when you partner with us!

If you are just tinkering, stop. Take a step back and look at the landscape.

Take care in charting your course to ensure you make it to your destination goal with the best route possible.

Don't give yourself an excuse to back out...

In our freight community, those members that have been successful went in at the start and bought space in a shipping container that hey had no need for at that moment as they had no products. But, by owning this space, that held them accountable to take the next logical step of securing that first product to fill that space.

You can make progress quickly with a narrowly scoped business.

Isn't it great to come up with ideas that you want to execute? And knowing that with a necessary plan in place, you can expect it to happen.

It is key that years are anticipated to grow your business, not months.

Amazon FBA, is a low investment business with a very quick return. But people always want lower investments and quicker returns.

Business is not a lottery, it is planned.

When there's something fresh, its exciting! We can't wait to partner with you guys, connect and work together on growing your Amazon business and not just being a partner through shares.

In Marketplace SuperHeroes, we have resources available to us that you don't have, right?

But now we are in a position to able to share those resources with you so that you can leverage them to grow your business to the next level.

Happy Christmas! & Happy New Year!

We look forward to working with you in the New Year! Thanks!

Grinding through things?

Sometimes you have to go through an obstacle and not around it.

Sometimes it's going to be difficult, and you will want to put it down for the evening. But in order to really be successful, you need to put the boots on and get to work.

What are you prepared to do? Is your WHY strong enough?

My taekwondo instructor said to me the other day - "I have failed more gradings for the black belt than anyone else in the world probably. I couldn't do the moves for ages. But, because I stuck with it and I wanted to get better, I was able to achieve the black belt".

We give up too quickly when things go wrong.

Why should it be easy? There is work to be put in and the value you put in is equal to the value of the reward.

We need more sitting down actually doing the thing. Instead of sitting there thinking about why we haven't started yet.

What's something you've worked hard at in your life, that you persisted through difficulties, until the end?

How good did it feel getting that thing completed?

Harness what you did when you knew that you were capable of achieving that thing.

You still are capable, just don't give in so easy.

When you don't have someone looking over you, it can be difficult to stay persistent.

That's why your environment is so important, surround yourself with people who are also persistent and want to achieve, like our Facebook community Marketplace SuperHeroes!

The champions always go the extra mile. The extra 5 push-ups in the gym or the extra 30 minutes of research can define a true champion.

Where is the enjoyment in not challenging yourself?

Once you have moved up a difficulty, you don't want to start playing on a lower one.

How much grit do you have in your life?
