    2nd month, he ran out of inventory. I assume he did in the middle of the month and he placed an order. You are subtracting the order which is for the future sell from the monthly revenue which does not make sense. If you run out of inventory you may lose the opportunity, amazon ranking, and etc but you do not directly lose money. I am not an accountant but well that did not sound good. One reason that he lost money is because of returns, so the first month he actually did not make that amount since the returns would hit the second month.

    I checked "Chef's Haven," the product this guy is selling. It says 200+ units sold last month. That means less than 300 sold per month. That is revenue of $15000 or less. So why is discrepancy?

  • @TWENTY6ENTERPRISE

    When doing these videos can you ask how much time and effort each interviewee did per month/week.
    Some people work 40 hrs a week trying this and give up when really the *magic* number is 60 hrs 2 make $40k per month.
    Knowing how much time and effort needed will really demystify more of the Amazon selling process.
    Also, some people dont realize that you may make a profit of say 10K in a month but some of that will be used to buy inventory for the next month due to rolling inventory costs.
    Talking about rolling inventory costs will also be a big help.
    I alpreciate this video, very informative.

      You can use this method even if you're selling multiple products. However, I would recommend starting with one first and then adding more later on

      Ya, you can avoid that by starting your own online marketplace, growing it to 100s of millions of buyers, spending millions on advertising, investing in 100s of warehouses, 1000s of delivery trucks, and paying 1000s of employees.
      Just do all of that and you can skip paying Amazon a cut....

      It's just right don't you think since they are basically doing a lot to get your product to the customers. You also have to consider the amount of money, time and effort that Amazon spent to get where they are now

      same i feel like half his videos have made-up numbers. But speaking about your product, do you spend too much on PPC's? or is your product not priced very high, I could be wrong but you should at-least have a 10% profit margin at the very least, and comfortably around 22%.
