Dude thank you.. I’m a media seller and was wondering if I could do this with books but I see this is how. Thank you
Okay so my issue is that my brand is also the OEM manufacturer of the parts that we sell on Amazon. How would I go about putting anything there? I can't invoice my own company. Right?
That's a good question. I'm not sure what sort of documentation Amazon would require if you are the manufacturer and the brand.
I learned some things here I didn't know about negative keyword settings and bid settings; however, you can add more than one title to an ad group. We typically will include at least three related titles (or an entire series) in one group.
Thanks for this amazing to-the-point instruction
great video, appreciate, so how do u get new barcode/sku for 250 replenish product .
Do you mean the UPC barcode, or the Amazon shipping barcodes?
Great video, thank you, one question, the UPC is for the whole bundle right? and this should be on the box containing the bundled items? so first step as you mentioned is to get that UPC from GS1? anything i have to do for the individual products inside the box? each product inside the box is not branded, TIA
Yes, the UPC for the bundle goes on the packaging for the bundle. You don't have to do anything for the items inside the packaging. In my case some had separate UPCs or ISBNs for the individual item, but two items did not. It makes no difference, Amazon won't open the bundle.
Heh. This video popped up an ad that wanted to reach me about dropshipping on Amazon!
How much does Amazon charge you per item sent back?
When I convert pdf to epub my file is messed up. What can I do?
Convert from the original manuscript or the graphics file used for layout (usually InDesign), not the PDF.
You are so under rated bro. U have the best amazon seller videos
Thanks so much !
they deducted $110 as a placement fee instead of earning profit. Now we have to pay for this service. our account balance is negative because of this. is there any way to avoid this fee
You can lower the fee by sending inventory to more than one FC, if that is given as an option. If it's still not profitable, you need to raise prices for Amazon customers (which is what I did) or lower your costs, especially PPC if you are using Amazon Ads.

Helium 10 went down hill ever since it was sold off years ago.
You are the best !
So you can’t make money on audible?
If it's an audiobook for a best-selling author? Maybe. Otherwise the answer is no. I wouldn't touch Audible for my own books.
appreciate you for posting this
Great Video! Did you need to unpublish the 1st edition before reaching out to KDP?
I did not. But sometimes this method doesnt work.
So TH-cam cuts off if we say anything about a virus or a election but let's scammers pay for ads on their platform and screw people out of all kinds of cash.
Thanks for the detailed instructions Have a great day!
Why should I spend my time trying to get reinstated. When I did nothing wrong It BS avoid advertising with Microsoft Bing Ads
Thank you! This was hugely helpful!
What to do if you sell used books? I have no invoice's, that dosen't change the fact that there my books. In the last year or so one or two or several books are always missing. The books in question are more often than not the most valuable books in the shipment. I think there employees are stealing them, I dont know what else to think!
Appreciate this video. Very helpful
The screen does not look like this. The Settings tab is nowhere to be found.
Thank you for saving me so much trouble I've been seeing all the ebooks forever
Literally had a scam ad for passive audible content just before the video!!!
What i want to know is why is it that 90% of youtube ads are scams and WHY does TH-cam just allow it???
hilarious is the fact that this video is interrupted twice with advertising for exact theese Scams. seems no one is willing or able to stop that advertising itself.
"There's a *little known* way to make money called 'Audible passive income" Well if you're posting ads about it, wouldn't everyone know about this then?
HEY, TH-cam. WHY ARE YOU sponsoring scams on here? audio uploads? this is a scam.
Is it possible to turn off Freight Forwarding in Amazon? International buyer has it shipped to a US freight forwarding address.
I don't known the answer to that question.
I want to see the customer feedback that I had given few days back. How can I check it
Thank you
Hahaha! I know exactly who you are talking about! I've been resisting YT no ads forever. I was soooooooooooo sick of his face, I pulled the trigger and I am finally free of ads. Best thing ever.
Thank you so much! ;I never knew this!
thanks for the information.
Your video's are VERY helpful! Thanks.
You're awesome. Thank you!
Bro what is USPs on amazon review …
Nice video, thanks. Funny thing is that I get bombarded with those Audible scheme ads recently and even when I watched your video, I had an ad for those playing right before 🤔
What a click bait.. your title says "PRODUCT REVIEW"... but its not
Why other sellers uses cover images with some details on it and the background is not white, and their products shown on search results. While Amazon rules are only white background images
Thank you for doing this! It should be regulated/illegal to do these. :/
Thank you so much - I have been going round in circles, then realised it's because I'm watching videos about US ad campaigns! Cheers for making it so clear, much appreciated
Glad it helped!
Hi there! I appreciate that a lot of these masterclasses are overrated. But you haven't gone through this one. I signed up in 2022, (paid $2K and am just starting now. I will let you know how it goes. Try to keep an open mind and be positive! You may want to try it! (It is definitely not a scam in my opinion. (If I am wrong I will let you know) Either way, I will leave a comment here re: how much I make. Wish me luck! 😊
There are 3 options 1st class/parcel select/ground advantage..i think they are all with tracking
Update 6/25/2024 - no need for fiver any more, they use ai to write low quality books. Then use ai to do the narration. Of course ai for art. Be part of scam marketing and also publish shorts. Use ai to make you a fake Bank of America bank account with 5 million dollars in it. Social Media really is a joke and is imploding. So much crap content that real talent is leaving.
Ironic ads played both before and after this video. Literally played ads from the same group of scammers. Google/TH-cam really need to curate their ads better and stop censoring harmless content, while letting literal scam courses, air conditioners (literally just small, cheap swamp coolers made in China that break) and government subsidy scams, but heaven forbid an ad has attractive women in it. That's the ad they choose to censor.
More likely a transflective LCD and/or a good matte coating.
