    I wanted to second that I've met Nick in Chiang Mai. We've talked FBA and he's been very helpful and supportive. He's a genuine guy that is interested in seeing motivated hard working people being successful. People like Nick should be thanked as he's not gaining anything from giving away all this free information - it's actually costing him time from other projects so the fact that he's eager to help is a testament to his character. Good luck Nick! :)

    No joke, when I reached out to him, this guy was willing to meet with me in Toronto before he left to Chiang Mai. He validated all my product research process and that made me decide to go ahead with the product. Now I am waiting for my sample product to have arrived. I think there is more than enough free information out there. All you need is to do is to take an action

    I have to chime in and say that I messaged Nick when I discovered he was nearby. We met up same day for a beer in Toronto and my partner and I picked his brain... We'd already done a tonne of research and were finalizing our order with the supplier, but the real life experience was a big help. Thanks Nick!
    Nick told us about his plans for Thailand. I was already planning to head out of the country for the winter, so I decided to go to Thailand as well. Should be there right around the end of November.
    Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

    Hell, I've planned to reach out, but I haven't yet considered myself far enough along in the process to justify requesting your time, and I've done many of the things you describe to do first in this video.
    I've scoured the internet, and you are, by far, hands down, the best guide on the Internet. No cookie cutter responses, straightforward advice, no run-into-the-ground self help phrases everyone else uses, no bullshit - just solid, direct, useful information. Thank you for doing what you do.
    For my two weeks, I'll have made enough progress to feel comfortable presenting my progress and requesting your brain contents.

    I have found a product that looks very promising. Having a bit of trouble trying to find a way to differentiate my product as all the ones other people are selling are pretty similar (seems like that would make it easier haha). Need to order samples soon and try to find a way to swing it financially as only a 100 unit order would be pretty pricey (expensive product). Great advice as always, thank you Nick

    Nick~ I wish I watched your videos earlier. 121% agree with what you said.
    Your advice are so genuine, no filter, just like a friend trying to help. I love that.
    I live in Melbourne atm, English isn’t my first language, I believe I struggle more in the process than most people here. Your amazon account setup series is my main source of information. I did my first test order last week, it will be arrive FBA in 20 days from now. I’m doing listing atm following your advice about keywords research etc 😁I’m so excited everyday!! Learning and trying something new!!
    Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU! You really helped me out.
    And~please follow me up as well 🙊 haha keep me in check 😁

    Great advice man. Someone told me this week that I should find a mentor in tech space. But I was Like, how? They don't know me..why should they invest their time -- This advice pretty much cleared that up

    A mentor is not someone who gives you step by step instructions on how to do something. That sounds like a teacher. My mentors have always been people that really resonate with me. They never told me how to do something, rather they guided me by sharing stories about their experiences. If I was ready for the message, I could see how the story related to my life and benefit from their wisdom. Sure, at times they acted as a sounding board, but they were so much more than that.
    Nick, in my opinion, your videos are part of your mentoring process.

    Excellent video. I got as far as getting a quote for air shipping. The quote for shipping was over $1000 dollars and that stopped me in my tracks. Now felt it was too pricey for my first product. Im searching for another product.

    Product Research Done
    Tested same product via retail arbitrage - successful
    Looking for suppliers and getting branding/design work via fiverr/upwork
    Looking to get some sample delivered in next 10 days via air, then choose supplier in next 2 weeks for product to arrive by end of November.
    Your vids are really helpful. They are great because i feel like i now have someone who is ahead of me but not so far that i cant catch up. I only found out about amazons new terms yesterday and it kinda demotivated me, but thinking about it logically, the review system everyone has been using to boost rankings was never going to last. So i just moved on and will figure out a new way by the time my product arrives. Hope your business is going well. Thanks for the motivation!

      PPC is still a viable option, don't sweat it much. Will just take a little longer for it to start rolling

    • @karnpatel
      @karnpatel 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup, Since the news i have now adopted a new strategy which will work for the niche im going to operate in which involves using PPC. It wasn't part of my launch strategy before but it is now. Are you a new/experienced amazon seller?

    • @GarenPhillips
      @GarenPhillips 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      brand new but I've been studying it for about 8 months now and online marketing is nothing new to me. Planning on pulling the trigger for FBA in the next 2-3 months

    Hey Nick, what good homie...Well this video taught me so much.
    I found out about FBA about 2 months ago and just been researching what it is about. I got very basic understanding on FBA but this what i got so far . At the moment I made a Amazon Bussines Acount, and a alibaba Acount. I found 2 products which will sell considering the Criteria of what is already listed online and the criteria of the product itself weight, profit margin, branding, etc..
    i have contacted a few suppliers to get an idea of the cost and how to negotiate but thats all i have done at the moment. still in the process of learning how to get my product from China to FBA and to get it listed...Are you able to point me into the right direction of what steps to take next :D... Thanks buddy

    The same people asking you for help but won't take action will ask 10 other youtubers to mentor them too. At the end of the day, it's all about taking action. It's amazing how we attract the right people when we are working on a project. Great video Nick!

    Currently living paycheck to paycheck, I'm hoping that in two weeks my influencer for my shopify store will be bringing some traffic/money in, and I'll buy junglescout and start my product research!
    Funny ending to the video!

    Nick, what do you use when you crunch the numbers for a product to see if it's profitable?
