@@Ruralmomresale well worth the time, firsts shipments I got held back a lot in reserves but the biggest hurdle is looking for small items with that big margin, how about you?
Thank you so when making a listing that amazon supposedly doesn't have what did you use if ever to take pictures of the product it's such a common product I can believe they don't have it
Very helpful video. I have questions I mess up when I try opening account what I can do change the settings. Asked me for stor name but I want to do individual retail arbitrage
I've been hooked on your channel for about two weeks. Thank You! I am trying to start up on Amazon Retail Arbitrage right now. I live in Sioux Falls, SD. We have a New Amazon Fulfillment Center In Town. I'm not sure if it is fully operational yet, but I imagine it will be a real advantage here when it is? It's the first one in South Dakota.
Just wanted to drop a comment, we are doing the same exact things and are looking forward to Q4, we are Arbitraging December 2018 after we can to an end with our Private Label project. It would be nice to connect with other RVers selling on Amazon. We have been doing good, trying different methods. We go full time RVing in 3 weeks and looking forward to solely focusing on our Amazon business.
First thanks for all the information you share. I am looking for ways to subsidize my families income. So you talk a lot about the selling family boot camp. You now have your own beginners guide does it cover the same things as the boot camp ?
I notice you mention Facebook a lot. I am a soon to be new seller, I just made a bank account for my Amazon seller account Like you said and I am going to start ordering supplies off of your list your provided. Thanks by the way for sharing that helpful info to get me this far! But I always hear about Facebook and you can post questions and I don’t have a Facebook :/ but I would love to have a platform I can ask questions if I need to. Is there any other website I can use to be connected to a similar type of group? Thanks Nikki! Love your page :)
Hey Kristi! Congrats on getting started! I’m glad I could help! Unfortunately Facebook is where all my groups live I tried another platform and it didn’t workout. I do have people who join FB just for the groups and I am not exactly a fan of the platform either, I am only ever in my groups on it. Maybe you can make a Amazon only profile? I hear some people do that but don’t put your business name as the name.
Loved this! Thanks for posting an update. Your first video inspired me but I wasn't ready to do it yet. I'm totally starting in a few weeks and will be signing up for the bootcamp. It's nice to see that you are still doing well and making more profit with it.
Very helpful. I watched this first as a subscriber and then again in the Facebook Elite group lol. What would you say are the cons to selling on Amazon? I have always wanted to try, even downloaded the seller app, but never get started. I always default to selling on eBay instead.
Juan Camacho Thanks Juan! The cons would be it can be exhausting at times, shopping for longer periods especially during the busy seasons. Figuring out taxes isn’t hard but it can be frustrating because you are dealing with government websites.... once you’re set up though it’s really easy.
@@NikkiKirk Do you do your own taxes? Sometimes messing with taxes scares me lol. I do mine with one of those discs you buy at a store. The shopping wouldn't bother me to much. I enjoy window shopping so I would assume this would be fun at times.
Hi Nikki! Been obsessing over your videos lately. Ive been dying to try amazon on the road but was so intimidated by the idea of needing more space! Were a family of 4 plus a dog in a tt full time, almost 2 years! Thanks so much for being passionate about helping newbies! In not starting off w a terribly low budget, but am starting off at the bottom when it comes to everything......especially techy stuff. Just a galaxy s10 I know I'll be out for inventory, supplies, and tools to start up. Here's my question... Do I need to invest in the selling family if I plan to buy your guide package? Should I start off with just you or both......maybe start with the selling family bookcamp then sign-up for one of your groups? What do you recommend?
Hey Amber! I always tell people to get the training if you need lots of hand holding or want the videos all in one place. All the info is out there for free if you want to search for it. I also tell people if they’re in my bolo group they can probably get by because the members are very helpful. The ungating guides and groups are specific to each guide so they’re helpful for that! Everyone in all the groups are nice and friendly ;)
Travis Newsome I use Walmart boxes, that’s what I’ve been using forever since they’re cheap and Walmart is everywhere. I’ve never had any issues with them. I add in crumbled paper if needed or cut down to size
@@NikkiKirk Thanks for the response, Nikki! I'm getting back in to RA, after doing it back in 2016. I left to do Shopify because Amazon violated their own terms of service. A customer contacted me 5 months after buying a product and Amazon deducted the amount from my bank account. After I told them I was done, they sent back a pro-rated amount. Anyway, I can forgive them now and see how things are again. Incidentally, things have changed. I reactivated my account last weekend and scanned some toys at Walmart and they said I needed permission. back in 2016, I only needed permission for Marvel and Star Wars as far as toys. Thanks to you, i'll attempt to get ungated in everything this time around. I had a lot of success in the past but was not ungated in beauty, groceries, ect. I'll certainly be ordering your bundle. By the way, I did over $20k in a month with Shopify but the 18%-20% margins are not cutting it, compared to Amazon. You also mentioned how you don't spend over $10. I may need to learn a little from that, as I was buying things for $50 or more on occasion. I hit many big ones though but may need to be more careful. I did get 2 $35 items from Walmart that were discontinued and sold for $251.49 each!!
Hi Nikki, I have been watching your videos for a month or so now and really want to start an Amazon business next month. I noticed you mentioned in all your videos you took the selling family training. Do you think the training is still helpful? The cost of the training has gone up since you took the courses and starting at $500.
Once you apply to open a seller account, Amazon will make you sign a W9 form, and at the taxes season you will have to file your own taxes on your profits
You can be a sole P or have a business. If you are just doing it without a business, you are a sole proprietor. You don’t need a license of any kind to sell,
So I made a store woohoo! 😆 one problem, it won’t accept my card! (Emerald card,H&R Block) Do you have a recommendations or what kind of card I should get?
Hey Nikki! What did do to get ungated in what beginning categories? New to RA and OA and learning to source but my first couple days scanning for hours on end I was at a dead end with how many products I was gated in
Gadgetismic hey! Congrats on getting started!! To get ungated you need an invoice from a distributor which I share how to do it for new sellers, step by step in my ungating guides. I priced them affordably for new sellers specifically because I know it’s hard in the beginning. I would recommend going through the topical/grocery one if funds are tight. It’s very worth it.

Newbie question how do I know for an item I am gated ?
This is very helpful! I thought about selling my knitting projects on Amazon but wasnt sure if it would work out
Do you have anything that up to date for beginners
Such motivation girl keep it up
Rafael Lopez Thanks!
aHH it looks like that seller family's course went up almost $150 bucks do you have a discount code.
Love your vids

how do you get ungated or unrestricted??
Hi Nikki, would you recommend individual seller for newbies like me or the professional instead?
The outtakes were hilarious!

so no LLC or Resellers permit?
whats gonna happen to the products that you shipped to amazon that were not sold?
what happens if the item you sold is out of the store from Walmart and any other store do U delist the link ?
Nikki kirk, thank you so much.
Where do you get your boxes? UPS is very expensive, so I used UHaul. Walmart's boxes are pretty flimsy.

I use home depot boxes
Hi Nikki,
I have been watching your videos for a month or so now and really want to start an Amazon business next month. I noticed you mentioned in all your videos you took the selling family training. Do you think the training is still helpful? The cost of the training has gone up since you took the courses and starting at $500.
This video is incredibly informative. Do I need a desktop or can I use my MacBook Pro especially when using the scammer. Do I need any attachemenrs ?
Do you mean using the scanner?
Does it's matter what you name ur store
May I ask how much of a percent you pay yourself from your profits now that you are able to? Thank you 😊
J King I pay myself all my profits! After paying for various services and supplies like toner, tape, boxes etc.
How do you file your taxes with this? Do you have to file taxes on your profits? And does Amazon give you a W-2 or something like a W-2 for taxes?
Once you apply to open a seller account, Amazon will make you sign a W9 form, and at the taxes season you will have to file your own taxes on your profits
Curious what categories from Costco to look into?
I usually scan the whole store
this was a great video i appreciate you taking your time to make these videos so informative , thank you ! 😌
I thought you can't sell items that are branded. They can suspend your Amazon account for that?
You can sell anything you are approved and ungated to sell.
@@NikkiKirk By approved do you mean you apply for a listing and it lets you sell it as new or you have to ask the seller/brand?
Q1: Do you need to be a sole proprietor?
Q2: do you need a license to sell? What kind of license?
You can be a sole P or have a business. If you are just doing it without a business, you are a sole proprietor. You don’t need a license of any kind to sell,
Awesome! So all I have to do is make an account and start listing? :D
@@ggarcia6588 yep!
