    How Much TH-cam Paid Me in 2019 (with a million subscribers): • How Much TH-cam Paid ...
    I decided to make this video because I stumbled upon this world of Amazon selling, and it really changed how I view Amazon in general. I kept seeing videos about Amazon FBA, step by step how to get started, how people were making thousands or millions of dollars on it- and probably like you, watching, kept thinking okay... is this even real? This video breaks it down for people who have never heard of Amazon FBA before, from someone who isn't trying to sell you anything- I don't do Amazon FBA, I'm not selling a course on it, I really don't care if you start Amazon FBA or not I just think it's interesting and wanted to share it. Comment down below if you're still reading this far (about what you think of this whole thing), and I'll reply!

      My advice would also be to find an FBA Mentor, ideally one that has an Online (Video) Training Course that offers good value for money (incl. Email/Skype Support).... and before you ask, No! I don’t offer Training, but I have invested in a Course & it’s one of the best investments I’ve EVER made in my life!

      Yeah there's a MASSIVE amount of competition out there and you have to stand out one way or another, whether it means greasing the hinges by paying to get higher in search results, faking the reviews, or just having the superior products.
      As the method becomes more and more saturated, the harder it is to be seen, the harder it is to actually sell, eventually you're just pissing into a sea of piss. The real winners here are Amazon, Alibaba, and this guy who wants you to believe it works. It's not an MLM but it's comparable with the way the guy tells you it 'works'.

    • @shpakslife

      I actually know multiple people that have been very successful at, building a high rated, well reviewed, amazon account is key as this will keep you appearing higher in search results and more likely to get the sale. another basically no risk option that works is called dropship. You sell no branded items individualy from AliExpress they take care of the all shipping costs and you get to keep whatever mark up you placed on the product.

      @misstea-uu3nj 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Audrey Guiden You are correct but a lot of it has to do with sellers who don't have much experience selling on Amazon. From what I understand sellers who source their products and sell on Amazon are suppose to get independent inspectors to check the inventory for it leaves the manufacturing site.. They are also suppose to do their research to make sure their product meet the standards in the country they want to sell in or their inventory with be held at customs. Sellers who sell low quality products end up getting poor reviews from Amazon customers and get stuck with inventory they can't sell, therefore losing large amounts of money.

  • @teflonpan
    @teflonpan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +276

    I've been through this and sold on Amazon for a time. Yes you can make a lot of money, you must invest a ton of time up front before you see results, therefore this can be a big reason it's not right for everyone. Also not mentioned in this video are the Amazon FBA fee's, Amazon certainly takes a good chunk for themselves. If I remember right I was selling a product for 29.99 and amazon took $5-7, I could be a little off but not much.
    Don't let those video's fool you were you can start an Amazon business for 100-200 dollars, good luck with that! I'n my opinion I would have at least $5-10k in cash flow. If your product starts selling well you #1, want to make sure the inventory you have doesn't sell out in a couple days and have nothing left to sell and lose your ranking on Amazon, ranking is a huge factor trying to sell. Buyer's rarely buy from a low ranking seller, they wan't someone with good status and reviews.
    You also have to pay a fair bit in what they call "Pay Per Click", meaning you setup an algorythm of sorts targeting popular keywords related to your product paying a set amount you state, so when someone clicks on your ad searching one of your keywords Amazon charges you say 0.5-$2, depending how agressive you want to be. This can add up very quickly eating into any profits you may make.
    If anyone has interest I encourage you to try it, you may like it, or you can also very well lose your money due to a bad product, copyright infringement , trademark infringement etc. Yes you must make sure there are no patents on a product you are trying to sell, China doesn't care about patents so you must do your dudiligence to protect yourself.
    Don't forget the programs you will need to search for products that sell well on Amazon or have little to no sellers to compete with. There is a lot more to it than is stated in this short video, but Shelby is right, with enough effort you can succeed at this, just be patient and have the drive to keep pushing forward!
    Good luck.

      At the end of the day, it's a business model and one that works. You can sell on Amazon and fail if you don't know what you're doing and you can make enough to be comfortable if not more if you do. With that being said the only way to know how is to educate yourself and to fail. Only those who seek this risk-reward will actually take action and do it.

      Exactly right! I have realized after much research that all these "gurus" are actually making most of their money through their online courses, TH-cam videos, sponsorships, and their Facebook groups where they get a lot of students for their courses. This is definitely not for everyone and they are very manipulative in getting you to believe that you can do exactly what they've done by getting you to buy into them. It's the same as all these guys that talk about the stock market and how you can get rich just like they did. They all have online courses with promises that if you get through their course you can also do the same. It's also the same for these other gurus like Amy Portfield. They know how to advertise and get you your face pushing their courses that are very, very expensive. It's what social media is all about these days unfortunately.

    I recently created a seller's account on amazon. I decided to try what I called a test run, before I made a huge purchase from Alibaba and risked losing thousands of dollars. I ordered 30 pounds of Starbucks from a local wholesaler here in the USA, and I was unable to ship this product to amazon for sale since this item had what is called a listing limitation. I looked at other coffee items, and most of them as well had listing limitations. Also, I read on blogs that many successful amazon sellers had their accounts deleted by amazon for no reason. It is not a completely fair marketplace, and many people lose out in this game. I decided to try and flip this coffee on ebay, and in the meantime I am going to research e - commerce in general, just to understand in general what is going on and the safest way to approach it. Just beware of these go getter youtube personalities who flaunt their mansions and claim amazon is the golden ticket, did you smell that? yea its bullshit.

    We did $3M last year on Amazon, and I can tell you that every month is a bloody fight to the death. Sales don’t equal profit. We posted a profit in 2018, but a loss in 2019. Beware the “gurus” that brag about how much they “made”. A lot of sellers doing a million in sales per year in SALES are barely hanging on. Many don’t make it to the next year.

    I moved about $60,000 of products, mainly books, and CD's through Ebay, from 2007-2015, but found that it was unique and hard to find products that would really do well that in most cases already had a proven track record of selling. That was only hobby or part time $. When going onto Amazon, the same applied, but in my limited experience and time with that, I found it to be less profitable and less sales.

    You forgot the part where Amazon takes a 20% on every sale. Also they damage the products you ship them they tell you they are not in sellable condition, and charge a fee to destroy them. Oh and also, prime customers complain and return used items, amazon takes your money back for those too. Wow there goes a lot of the profit. Not so easy.

    This is the only FBA video I’ve watched. It was pretty clear, but I still have two questions:
    1. When you buy 100 jade rollers (for example) from Alibaba, do they stay at the factory in China until one of your customers buys them? Or do they get shipped to an Amazon fulfillment center in the US, to wait until someone buys them?
    2. How was David allowed to customize the map, if it was already listed for sale on Alibaba?

      It's extremely difficult, a massive grind. It's $500/year just to have the opportunity to sell stuff. That doesn't include purchasing inventory, covering shipping and fees, etc. You won't necessarily make a profit.

      On the other hand, if you were able to devise a way of creating an income online, regardless of what the main "niche" was, wouldn't you help/show your friends/family how to do it?
      Especially when you know that there's such a HUGE MARKET that it would be almost impossible for you alone to service all the possible "customers?" in that 'niche?'..
      If you answered "yes", then wouldn't it make sense that if there would be other people of a similar age/demographic, in the same situation (hate their job, need extra income, need to pay their bills, want to retire before X age, etc.,etc.) as your own friends/family that would actually *pay you* to show them how it's done?
      Short answer = *Hell Yes!*
      Thus, you then have created another *income stream* that is has literally UNLIMITED MARK-UP! Think "videos" - "PDF's" - Live Video Masterclass(es)...etc.,etc.
      Remember...there's two things that SELL in any economy...
