Not the greatest results considering you're a 90K subscriber influencer and promoted this on social media, but it's refreshing to hear someone tell the truth. Thank you for your honesty.
number of subscriber, unless u in the millions, means significantly less ever since the bell was introduced. Which is understandable cuz otherwise everyone would get spammed.
Best video I have seen in a long time. Very very honest!! So I am a couple weeks away from launching. It was not easy and I can so relate with supplier issues. Will be posting a video of my journey and will be name dropping you in my vids. You seem to have a way better grip on what’s going on than I ever will.
Really appreciated your open and honest take on business online through Amazon, but the most impressive thing to me is the fact that you have answered almost every comment. For that reason alone sub here. Great work man.
@@TravisMarziani Well I'm just an old guy, but the word that caused me to watch your video was the word honest. Perhaps there is a correlation between transparency, authenticity and value? So I'll bite, what is the smallest habit that you do almost daily that has the greatest return on investment in your life? And not necessarily monetary; I think sometimes getting over those personal hurdles is that which helps people most. Thanks for responding, keep lookin up.
Love your honesty, and clarity in explaining in details. I’m gathering information on fees and costs. Every word you said is new to me because I’m not an e-commerce oriented and I’m a very slow learner who is looking for any guidance. Thank you again.
Great video and I love your honesty! I have been a brand-registered FBA seller on Amazon for a couple years. The information that you are sharing is very valuable and realistic. It's refreshing to see content that gives good, practical advice and doesn't mislead people into thinking that it is "easy". Thank you!
Thanks for your honesty and not doing the smoke and mirrors. This really helps people. All the crazy cars and penthouses and buy my course now crap is going to actually deter people in my opinion. This seems much more attainable and actually makes me more excited because I have less fear about what I will be getting into.
@@TravisMarziani well thank you! We need more honesty from people like you. Definitely subscribed! And I am not selling just yet but I cannot wait to start! Just saving my money for the initial course and start up.
Definitely agree with everything Jordan said. I watched 1 video ad and clicked on it... And then another came up... And another.. And another... Every video ad now is about e-commerce 😂 and "take my class" and i what I once was first excited about, started getting very unmotivated by it all. Especially after watching my first youtuber talk about it (cant remember his name) whom said he was able to buy likes and positive reviews 🤔🤦😰 Your my second youtuber I've watched, and talking about a "passion product" is getting me excited again. Its not the money or fancy cars or lifestyle Im going after. I cant do anything Im not passionate about. I cant sell or promote anything I wouldn't buy and use myself.
Hats off to you for really getting into the nitty gritty details and admitting to and more importantly explaining your mistakes. It is very unusual in these type of videos.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest about the whole picture. It shows us real life situations that can happen...as opposed to the videos that make it look easy peasy with nothing that we should be cautious of.
I like how you explain all your hardships. I hate all that TH-cam "entrepreneurs" which explain how easy it's to become rich. In fact I am a bit relieved after your personal story, all the stress, the sleepless nights, the manufacture complications and expenses, probably the design of the product and a lot more details a long the way. Probably it's worth the risk and the pain but I think that it's not for everybody and your transparency about this subject is gonna clear the way for the true merchant and/or drop-shippers.
@Scadster's World Unfortunately most of these so called entrepreneurs are making their real money from suck click-bait videos "how to make money" whithout much of a prove how they have succeeded in their "true " entrepreneurship career.
Finally someone whos honest and gets to the point , Ive seen about 100 videos about this. your video is the only one that was worth watching 👍 awsome bro thanks
I did retail arbitrage years ago. I made great profit selling used board games (yes, you can even sell used on Amazon). I used the money to fund my candle business which is now my full-time job. I use FBA to sell my candles on Amazon Handmade. BTW, I used your advice to hire a great VA!
Hello Tiana, I notice a lot people will get a product they get overseas or doing arbitrage by flipping.. I would love to do this and was a reseller at one point with auctions and selling in other platforms but Amazon has me wondering.. so tell me why you prefer this method vs getting bulk merchandise overseas.. I like something as a side hustle
Your videos are by far the most informative and relevant videos I can find. Love how you explain and break everything down. I have a product idea but struggle with knowing what to do next. Thanks for sharing!
You spend nearly the first 2 minutes talking about how you're totally honest and transparent and not like all the other gurus...and yet you title the video as if you "tried" FBA for "2 weeks"...when in actuality you've already been doing FBA literally for years and have sunk hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars into building an Amazon presence. Not exactly honest, bro.
@@TravisMarziani Now you're going to lie about it? I appreciate that you finally got enough flack for ignoring the comment and realized you probably should respond, but you're not fooling anyone. Just admit you're engaging in clickbait with these titles, and maybe try to rationalize it. But lying about it to pretend you're not doing what everyone knows you're doing does not help your "I'm totally honest and transparent and not like the other guys" claim. If your honest intention is not clickbait, then change your titles to something more honest/accurate. We know you won't because you know clickbait titles get you more clicks. Seriously, just admit what you're doing, people would probably have more respect for you and some might actually believe your nonsense about not being like all the other gurus.

no,,, but i try to start a business like Alibaba to Amazon FBA but i have to idea. That's why i watched your videos. In my business purpuse, can you hlep me?? I am vary glad that you got my comment and reply. Thanks.
It has been difficult to start a new business on amazon for me too, but like you were saying at the end of the video over time amazon will rank you higher. As long as your getting reviews/sales/traffic Good video Travis!
@@TravisMarziani hey Travis, I've been selling my own products on Amazon since the beginning of May. I'm actually going to be launching 2 new products soon and will be documenting the process for TH-cam!
Excellent, informative video. Sorry you went through so much stress & pain. Given me a lot more to think about before i before venturing into this line of business. Thankyou & kindest regards from Australia.
Hey Seke thats good news but when launching a new product in my opinion never do it alone always have someone with you who knows these stuff so i recommend hire a Virtual Assistant on monthly salaries they are very cheap and handle alot of your work for you and also help you where you get stuck. Good luck for your launch
Bro you’ve gotta try making it a variation of your original product. That plus PPC and your product could be killing it. Always appreciate the transparency!
This is a really well made video. Much appreciated. U should have more viewers! I am sitting on 50 pairs of name brand athletic cleats not sure what to do with em. Was considering having Amazon sell it for me since I would have otherwise sold each pair for $30. I'm talking brand new Nike, under armour, adidas. I see they are selling for 3x that on Amazon so I figured I'd look into it. I think I'll just sell it locally or on eBay. I just have to put the time into it which I have available to me since I work from home as a hair stylist. Anyway I hope u continue to do well and live a happy, healthy and prosperous life. You have helped many others.
@@TravisMarziani I was pleasantly surprised by your "case study" approach. Real cost numbers and not only the revenue. The "surprises" that arose along the way are especially interesting because you already had substantial experience. Thx.
Happy to see an honest video for once... I do FBA for 4 months now... i tried 7 products and kept the best 2...but still spend a lot on PPC...ACOS of 50%... i sell 200 units per month and make 2k profit... I will grow and still believe in it... From Spain
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your transparency. Countless people post how to be a millionaire overnight with Amazon FBA videos but you are legit and honest. Thank you for doing this video.
Thanks for your honesty and saving me money. We need more people like you in this space, not gurus selling pipe dreams, preaching to people how to make money, while they're making money themselves only by selling copied courses. Also felt you on the corporate job part and the lack of passion. I'm right there at the moment, trying to get unstuck from a rut. You got my sub here bro.
Travis thank you so much for being so honest as you show the real face of FBA while everyone talks about revenues and not real profits. I am looking to launch my own product soon but it will be intense research before i actually launch it. Once again thanks.
Hey Travis, thanks for your honesty and content. I'm just starting out. Product arriving next week. I stupidly didnt take my own advice and feel I rushed in too eager! I wanted to brand my first product and create something of my own but I kinda dived in head first! I did do my research and what I have sourced is not even on Amazon yet but sadly it's a product that will get kinda old on the market after sometime so I'll have to get my thinking brain back on to something that I know will be continuous income. I also got 9 different variations of the product and which I now learn will need 9 GSI barcodes (expensive!!) I guess we all need to make mistakes to learn from them so I'm just going with it and trying to stay positive. Ita good that you have an realistic goal. Mine £100 per day to start (I'm sure starting low wont cause huge dissatisfaction) I'll let you know how it goes !! 🤦♀️
@@TravisMarziani yes I too will look at the first hurdle as a learning curve. Mistakes absolutely make you grow. Just hope I don't make alot of them! I've learnt so much in my research already. It's just getting it right and sticking with the right way! 😁
I haven’t seen this much transparency in over 3 years since I’m into amazon fba. Great content, I will share with friends! I don’t know why I didn’t come across your account earlier 😑 keep it up 🔝
Travis Marziani I’m into private label, 5 products several variations under same label (1 niche of course). So far 95% UK market, slowly touching on other EU markets but now have to re-organise because of Brexit :) so I might also jump into US market this year 🚀
@@TravisMarziani yes, and that's great :), I've been a seller since 2 weeks, i had a problem with my products and had to send everything back and now I'm back since 2 weeks, but i am selling in Germany only at the moment
@@zeeshanashraf3658 the sales started pretty well, considering i am a new seller and have no reviews, so that really surprised me, my profit is at the moment 0, i am spending everything on Amazon's fees and campaign unfortunately.. very frustrated.. and do try to optimize my campaigns and negative keywords. I know there's still much to learn so I am trying to stay positive and keep learning
Excellent Video that explains many things to Amazon FBA newbies like me. I haven't launched any product yet - but I appreciate the honest assessment of "what to expect" when launching an FBA.
I appreciate you being transparent about your negative results thank you. Bbut for me anyone that sends multiple messages eg more than 2 regarding a new product indicates desperation. For me social media is so fake ; it wd drive me mad if someone sent me multiple emails I to be honest. I thought yu were a new seller but you have been selling for years
What's up Travis. I have a quick question. I spoke to you on Skype about two months ago and forgot to ask you a question. Hopefully you can answer this. I'm trying to create a shipping label to have 1,500 hats shipped from china. There's 3 different colors and 5 different sizes so there's 15 different variations being shipped out in 15 different cartons. Do I need to make a shipping label on each carton for each single variation? Or can I just make one shipping label and slap that same label on all of the cartons? Each carton has 100pcs of the 15 variations in each.
@@TravisMarziani yes man, I am selling and I know the challenges and opportunities in market now.. But honestly speaking there are many sellers or mentors who used to share wrong data or mislead newbie for small benefits.. I suggest to keep post and share us factual results.
Could you recommend a good small batch copacker? I have 5 products that I pack myself, but really want to go to the next level and am having the hardest time finding a good start to finish copacker
Hello Travis , I would like to find a manufacturer to print tarot cards I have made , where could I find a mentor that can guide me through the process ?
Always great video Travis. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate the honesty, a rare find in this day and age. I wish I had built my tribe before I set-up my amazon store:( Good luck on your new product.
btw i'm now getting into a new way of life as an entrepreneur and I'm doing research atm so glad to come across this channel, instant subscribe and notification bell clicked!!

Just wanted to say you're pretty captivating in the way you talk and the information you give is quality. I didn't feel like fast forwarding :) (I'm a faster forwarder)
@@TravisMarziani Hi! Haha didn’t expect you to reply! No, I am not. I got rejected last year because of suspected fraud I think 😂 Something to do with my ID (probably address mismatch since I had moved). I was considering trying again so just wanted to gather some info! Your video was very helpful! I was considering the drop shipping approach but after your video I’ve been thinking of a passion product and I think I’ve got it! So thank you so much!! :)
Great honest video sir. I really enjoyed this video (I don't usually enjoy long videos) and I found it very useful! I am looking to start as well, but from outside the US. I like your honesty and transparency, and not being like "I made $1 million so I have a Lamborghini" I would love to travel more with the money I make but unfortunately coronavirus happened
@@TravisMarziani no, not selling on Amazon... just some ebay but never really got into Amazon as I do have other active businesses and takes a lot of time to get it done...
Hey Travis, thanks for your video. What I don't understand however, is why don't you setup your own shipping instead of relying on FBA? Of course I do understand the advantages of the FBA. But if you take all the money spent into it, you can rather invest your money in PPC and grow your business much more faster. You can also employ somebody else (a friend, a relative) to pack and ship for you. Amazon charges high FBA fee, + sale %; and the fact that the products take time to show up in the search results, is forcing you to do one of two things: promoting your products manually on other plateforms and sm ( = you are promoting Amazon and helping them to have more traffic..for free ), or throwing even more money to Amazon. Amazon is always the only real winner here. But of course your product looks superb and you are a smart guy too. So why don't you expand your brand outside of Amazon? I don't think the branding and the launch of a good product should start and pass mainly through Amazon.
@@TravisMarziani No..but after I watched your video..I start thinking 'why don't i start do something to make some money'. Hope one day my thought comes true..
Hello tks for the video, well wondering what can someone do if seller central rejected their utility bills. is translate notarized and everything matches address and others, but still nothing. wrote many times to ask what is the problem, but never got a reply. do you have any advice? second, what can i do if i finally get banned ? can i then open a new one again or that it? tks
I have done a number of these type of projects (non FBA) - things are never as easy as people think. Reality is real and not always a good experience :) but we always learn from our mistakes, that is the real teacher.
Love this...I've started this brand and I like that you are showcasing the grit needed to keep moving forward. Grit mainly comes with something that a person is truly passionate about, if you weren't you would've given up already.
I’ve applied many different techniques that stated to help me make money on the web within hours but none of them really worked. The good news is, my buddy told me about this money-making approach known as *4 N e t J o b s . C o m* This strategy has allowed me to gain over a hundred bucks daily! You might like to try it as well!?
Haha rolling on the floor though... lol waking up in the middle of the night...you’re a funny guy Travis. Thanks for the honesty. This was extremely helpful! The comedy helped it shtick😎👍🏽
Travis Marziani Deciding if I want to launch on Amazon Or from my site . Amazon has a bigger platform but it seems that the profit margin‘s are so low that it may just be better for me to launch it from my own site
I'd like to try private labelling and there's one thing I'm not sure about. I will be incorporated. Does that mean the name of my brand has to be the same as my corporation name?
This may have already been asked, but what is your preferred method for tracking sales of your competitors? You mentioned looking at their top sellers, how do you find out that information? Thank you - great video.
Hi Travis!May i ask something realy realy stupid?Where do you keep the products?Where are the products dispached from when a customer buys from amazon?thank you
Hello mates please do not be deceived by this fake people out there.I got scam twice before now,as a beginner it’s not really easy to know the right broker,until I met this man in the store 🏬 when he was talking to a student I head him talking about forex which got my attention to him,I told him my story and he asked me if I’m still interested again which I told him yes. and he started helping me,now at least I am not the best but I am really making a huge profit as I invest,if you are interested please contact him now. he is very honest and trustworthy,contact him now at (elvishercules48@gmail.com)Stay safe all of you!
During this entire video and also when I searched for your product on amazon I thought you were charging $28 for one packet. I see that you get ten. What if you tested putting “10 Pack” on your main image? take it for what it’s worth, I dipped my toe in the FBA water 4 years ago with a private label product. Very low investment and I ended up breaking even, but never went any further. Great video. I’m inspired to revisit FBA now. Do you factor in the price of the tools you use when calculating profit? I used Jungle Scout and a few others that weren’t too expensive but they weren’t what I would call cheap either. Anyway, loved your video. I hit that subscribe button!
I have a passion product too and was about to sell it. However, when I checked the demand for the product using my software, there is very little demand for this. Should I still go on or trash the idea. Any thoughts from you is highly appreciated! Love your honesty btw!

I just wanted to express my appreciation for your transparency. Countless people post how to be a millionaire overnight with Amazon FBA videos but you are legit and honest. Thank you for doing this video.
Kudos for the honest information and all the effort behind that; not many do that. Keep it up!
@@TravisMarziani i want to learn this please teach me
Thanks for your honesty and saving me money. We need more people like you in this space, not gurus selling pipe dreams, preaching to people how to make money, while they're making money themselves only by selling copied courses. Also felt you on the corporate job part and the lack of passion. I'm right there at the moment, trying to get unstuck from a rut. You got my sub here bro.
@@TravisMarziani I'm on it right now, right as we speak. thanks bro
loving the way you telling the truth of amazon business work
@@TravisMarziani yes but in low sals in recent day
I like your honest experiences put up on videos. Thank you.
Travis thank you so much for being so honest as you show the real face of FBA while everyone talks about revenues and not real profits. I am looking to launch my own product soon but it will be intense research before i actually launch it. Once again thanks.
@@TravisMarziani you are the bestest ever!!!!
Hey Travis, thanks for your honesty and content. I'm just starting out. Product arriving next week. I stupidly didnt take my own advice and feel I rushed in too eager!
I wanted to brand my first product and create something of my own but I kinda dived in head first! I did do my research and what I have sourced is not even on Amazon yet but sadly it's a product that will get kinda old on the market after sometime so I'll have to get my thinking brain back on to something that I know will be continuous income.
I also got 9 different variations of the product and which I now learn will need 9 GSI barcodes (expensive!!)
I guess we all need to make mistakes to learn from them so I'm just going with it and trying to stay positive.
Ita good that you have an realistic goal. Mine £100 per day to start (I'm sure starting low wont cause huge dissatisfaction)
I'll let you know how it goes !! 🤦♀️
you'd be lucky not to lose money with how little prep you've apparently done honey
@@baigpigpig oh no! have I done that bad 🤦♀️
What would you advise as not little prep?
@@TravisMarziani yes I too will look at the first hurdle as a learning curve. Mistakes absolutely make you grow. Just hope I don't make alot of them! I've learnt so much in my research already. It's just getting it right and sticking with the right way! 😁
I haven’t seen this much transparency in over 3 years since I’m into amazon fba. Great content, I will share with friends! I don’t know why I didn’t come across your account earlier 😑 keep it up 🔝
Travis Marziani I’m into private label, 5 products several variations under same label (1 niche of course). So far 95% UK market, slowly touching on other EU markets but now have to re-organise because of Brexit :) so I might also jump into US market this year 🚀
God bless you Travis and your business, ypu spoke about a lot of the hurdles we go through as sellers in a very clear honest way
@@TravisMarziani yes, and that's great :), I've been a seller since 2 weeks, i had a problem with my products and had to send everything back and now I'm back since 2 weeks, but i am selling in Germany only at the moment
Are you selling your private label kim wold?
@@zeeshanashraf3658 yes I am
What about yor sales velocity and reviews? Are you selling in top 10 competitor?
@@zeeshanashraf3658 the sales started pretty well, considering i am a new seller and have no reviews, so that really surprised me, my profit is at the moment 0, i am spending everything on Amazon's fees and campaign unfortunately.. very frustrated.. and do try to optimize my campaigns and negative keywords. I know there's still much to learn so I am trying to stay positive and keep learning
Excellent Video that explains many things to Amazon FBA newbies like me. I haven't launched any product yet - but I appreciate the honest assessment of "what to expect" when launching an FBA.
@@TravisMarziani - just conceptual phase right now. Analyzing what areas I could get into without being eclipsed by competition
Great videos Travis. What are good ways to find manufacturers? (BTW I am not looking for anything similar to your product).
@@TravisMarziani Awesome! I'll watch the video. It's so great you taking the time to respond to your subscribers!
I appreciate you being transparent about your negative results thank you. Bbut for me anyone that sends multiple messages eg more than 2 regarding a new product indicates desperation. For me social media is so fake ; it wd drive me mad if someone sent me multiple emails I to be honest. I thought yu were a new seller but you have been selling for years
@@TravisMarziani ok good luck to all!
The thing is - no matter what... it takes money to get money. Not sure how far I can go on $132.00??
What's up Travis. I have a quick question. I spoke to you on Skype about two months ago and forgot to ask you a question. Hopefully you can answer this. I'm trying to create a shipping label to have 1,500 hats shipped from china. There's 3 different colors and 5 different sizes so there's 15 different variations being shipped out in 15 different cartons. Do I need to make a shipping label on each carton for each single variation? Or can I just make one shipping label and slap that same label on all of the cartons? Each carton has 100pcs of the 15 variations in each.
Do you have video talking about how did you find the manufacturer?
Thanks for sharing honest stats and results.
@@TravisMarziani yes man, I am selling and I know the challenges and opportunities in market now.. But honestly speaking there are many sellers or mentors who used to share wrong data or mislead newbie for small benefits.. I suggest to keep post and share us factual results.
Could you recommend a good small batch copacker? I have 5 products that I pack myself, but really want to go to the next level and am having the hardest time finding a good start to finish copacker
I relate to your launching process story so much that it's scary. Congrats for your success!
Great Video Travis 👍
great info. I will work on starting my own thing. you seem sincere / honest
Hello Travis , I would like to find a manufacturer to print tarot cards I have made , where could I find a mentor that can guide me through the process ?
@@TravisMarziani Thank you
How do you handle insurance with a food product? In case you get sued if someone gets sick
The big question is: how did you go about finding a manufacturer? I'd love any guidance here.
Always great video Travis. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate the honesty, a rare find in this day and age. I wish I had built my tribe before I set-up my amazon store:( Good luck on your new product.
btw i'm now getting into a new way of life as an entrepreneur and I'm doing research atm so glad to come across this channel, instant subscribe and notification bell clicked!!
@@TravisMarziani currently doing market and customer research and started filming some free content to upload. This brand is aimed towards being a human performance optimization company. Based in the humble island of Trinidad and Tobago :) btw thanks for the engagement. - Im Josh nice to meet you :)
Just wanted to say you're pretty captivating in the way you talk and the information you give is quality. I didn't feel like fast forwarding :) (I'm a faster forwarder)
@@TravisMarziani Hi! Haha didn’t expect you to reply! No, I am not. I got rejected last year because of suspected fraud I think 😂 Something to do with my ID (probably address mismatch since I had moved). I was considering trying again so just wanted to gather some info! Your video was very helpful! I was considering the drop shipping approach but after your video I’ve been thinking of a passion product and I think I’ve got it! So thank you so much!! :)
I just run out of your cacao nut butter, and I'm craving for another box. I use it on my pancakes with a small drop of maple syrup and wow delicious.
The cuts in this video are extremely smooth. Almost seems like you filmed it in one take!
Great honest video sir. I really enjoyed this video (I don't usually enjoy long videos) and I found it very useful! I am looking to start as well, but from outside the US. I like your honesty and transparency, and not being like "I made $1 million so I have a Lamborghini"
I would love to travel more with the money I make but unfortunately coronavirus happened
cool vid! New sub here! just for you being an honest man! keep it that way! Hi from Utah
@@TravisMarziani no, not selling on Amazon... just some ebay but never really got into Amazon as I do have other active businesses and takes a lot of time to get it done...
What marketing strategies did you employe for your new product? Did you solely rely on the existing customer base from your first product?
Thanks for being honest.
I really appreciate your transparency and advise.
It is good.
Great video thanks for being Honest you would make a great mentor.
Hey Travis, thanks for your video.
What I don't understand however, is why don't you setup your own shipping instead of relying on FBA?
Of course I do understand the advantages of the FBA.
But if you take all the money spent into it, you can rather invest your money in PPC and grow your business much more faster.
You can also employ somebody else (a friend, a relative) to pack and ship for you.
Amazon charges high FBA fee, + sale %; and the fact that the products take time to show up in the search results, is forcing you to do one of two things: promoting your products manually on other plateforms and sm ( = you are promoting Amazon and helping them to have more traffic..for free ), or throwing even more money to Amazon.
Amazon is always the only real winner here.
But of course your product looks superb and you are a smart guy too.
So why don't you expand your brand outside of Amazon?
I don't think the branding and the launch of a good product should start and pass mainly through Amazon.
Very informative! Thanks
Very nice, awesome.thanks for video 👍
Mistakes make us stronger.. Mistakes make us to learn more, Mistakes make us to remember, mistakes are secret of success if we are not give up.
@@TravisMarziani No..but after I watched your video..I start thinking 'why don't i start do something to make some money'. Hope one day my thought comes true..
Hello tks for the video, well wondering what can someone do if seller central rejected their utility bills. is translate notarized and everything matches address and others, but still nothing. wrote many times to ask what is the problem, but never got a reply. do you have any advice? second, what can i do if i finally get banned ? can i then open a new one again or that it? tks
Great education! Thanks for sharing.
@@TravisMarziani Honesty. Also very thorough in details. Very helpful.
I have done a number of these type of projects (non FBA) - things are never as easy as people think. Reality is real and not always a good experience :) but we always learn from our mistakes, that is the real teacher.
Great video and good honest advise
Your videos are very genuine in providing helpful pieces of information.
@@TravisMarziani yes 🙂
Love this...I've started this brand and I like that you are showcasing the grit needed to keep moving forward. Grit mainly comes with something that a person is truly passionate about, if you weren't you would've given up already.
I’ve applied many different techniques that stated to help me make money on the web within hours but none of them really worked. The good news is, my buddy told me about this money-making approach known as *4 N e t J o b s . C o m* This strategy has allowed me to gain over a hundred bucks daily! You might like to try it as well!?
Atleast you weren’t in loss any of the day! So good job!
Hi,
Thank you for your video. Can you give advice on selling food product and how to find manufacturers for it. Thank you
good work man,i dont want to miss a single video of you on amazon,keep it up.
Thank you for your transparency 🙏
Not yet, I am considering I am considering to do it though.
Thanks for the honesty. Really great information!
Insightful - thanks for sharing.
I like your passion for business you are doing and enthusiasm. Thank you for nuances in selling on Amazon. It was very helpful
Haha rolling on the floor though... lol waking up in the middle of the night...you’re a funny guy Travis. Thanks for the honesty. This was extremely helpful! The comedy helped it shtick😎👍🏽
Thank you for this!! I feel so much better because of your honesty
Travis Marziani Deciding if I want to launch on Amazon Or from my site . Amazon has a bigger platform but it seems that the profit margin‘s are so low that it may just be better for me to launch it from my own site
Thanks for sharing, this was really insightful!
Finally someone who gives an honest prospective!
Agreed hard to find channels like this
@@TravisMarziani Just focusing on drop-shipping eservices at the moment but considered ASM at one stage
I can feel you on the mistake on choosing and reading papers from manufacturer. i lost $10k .
Hi Travis… are you putting your profit back into the product to buy more and scale up, pocketing it, or half and half ?
@@TravisMarziani I am getting started! Negotiating with suppliers for my first product
I'd like to try private labelling and there's one thing I'm not sure about. I will be incorporated. Does that mean the name of my brand has to be the same as my corporation name?
Good presentation, how long does it take to get amazon to index your product after release ?
This may have already been asked, but what is your preferred method for tracking sales of your competitors? You mentioned looking at their top sellers, how do you find out that information? Thank you - great video.
Finally someone genuine and not someone trying to bullshit me with half truths and lie
Hi travis great video thanksgiving
Hi Travis!May i ask something realy realy stupid?Where do you keep the products?Where are the products dispached from when a customer buys from amazon?thank you
@@TravisMarziani Thank you very very much
Hello mates please do not be deceived by this fake people out there.I got scam twice before now,as a beginner it’s not really easy to know the right broker,until I met this man in the store 🏬 when he was talking to a student I head him talking about forex which got my attention to him,I told him my story and he asked me if I’m still interested again which I told him yes. and he started helping me,now at least I am not the best but I am really making a huge profit as I invest,if you are interested please contact him now. he is very honest and trustworthy,contact him now at (elvishercules48@gmail.com)Stay safe all of you!
After FBA delivered (tracking said delivered) how many days will take to show item in the inventory??? (ch to US)
During this entire video and also when I searched for your product on amazon I thought you were charging $28 for one packet. I see that you get ten. What if you tested putting “10 Pack” on your main image? take it for what it’s worth, I dipped my toe in the FBA water 4 years ago with a private label product. Very low investment and I ended up breaking even, but never went any further. Great video. I’m inspired to revisit FBA now. Do you factor in the price of the tools you use when calculating profit? I used Jungle Scout and a few others that weren’t too expensive but they weren’t what I would call cheap either. Anyway, loved your video. I hit that subscribe button!
I have a passion product too and was about to sell it. However, when I checked the demand for the product using my software, there is very little demand for this. Should I still go on or trash the idea. Any thoughts from you is highly appreciated! Love your honesty btw!
