Amazon Product Research (The Passion Product Method)

Do you want to create a passive income but you’re not sure the best way to do it because you’ve never started a business before? I say create a product and sell it on Amazon!

If that sounds difficult and you’re still clueless on how to create your own product, then what I recommend is that you to start with product research to figure out what you’re going to sell.

In this video, I’ll teach you the real way to do product research so you can create and sell your own passion product on Amazon. This is how I found my 6 figure profit passive income product which is Performance Nut Butter.

My goal had always been to make $300 passive income a day since I quit my corporate job almost 6 years ago. But it wasn’t until I launched my passion product which is Performance Nut Butter that I started hitting that target. My goal now is to help as many people as possible to be able to quit their corporate job just like I did, to be able to make a full-time income passively by creating products they love. So let me start by teaching you the product research method no one is telling you about.

Product Research
1. A Good idea
a. Write down ideas
b. Make a list of interest
c. Check Amazon Activity – Check what you search for in Amazon. Anytime you search something on Amazon and you can’t find it, that is a great sign.
d. Tools in Success pack.

2. Validate your Idea
You want to make sure this product is something people would buy and you can validate it by using the following tools:
a. You can look up similar products on Amazon and see how well those products are doing.
b. You can also use the free (more…)

Amazon FBA Private Label vs. Creating Your Own Product

Should you private label on Amazon or should you create your own product from scratch to sell? In this video, I’ll share with you the Pros and Cons of both of these and I’ll also tell you what my personal favorite way of making money on Amazon.

Private Label
– Is the process of taking a product that already exists, putting your brand on it and selling it on Amazon.

Pros
1. Easy to get started – You don’t need a lot of creativity, you just have to do a better job than other people. The only difficult part is product research which I I have a video of.
2. Passive Income – It’s a great way to make passive income because Amazon handles all the logistics and a lot of the marketing strategy for you.
3. Live and work from anywhere – Everything that you’re doing is online so there’s no restriction.

Cons
1. Easy for someone to copy you – It can happen in three different forms: It can come from other Amazon FBA seller copying you, Manufacturers from China can copy you and undercut their product, and the last but maybe the scariest of all is Amazon itself. They can make a private label of your product and sell it through Amazon basics or their other Private label product.
2. Not worth as much if you sell your company.

Create your own product
– It is very similar to Private Label but you try to create something new. Something that maybe doesn’t exist in Amazon yet.

Pros
1. There’s no competition – When you create something unique and that’s different from anything in Amazon, you don’t have any competition! No one will steal your sales or you don’t have to go into price wars. You get sales as long as there’s demand for what you’re selling.
2. You (more…)

FBA vs FBM – Fulfilled by Amazon & Fulfilled by Merchant Pros and Cons

Should you let Amazon fulfill your product or should you fulfill it yourself? In this video, I will share with you the Pros and Cons of doing FBA and FBM and I will also help you decide which one is perfect for you.

Fulfilled by Amazon

Pros
1. You don’t have to ship it yourself.
2. You don’t need to handle returns.
3. More sales! This is the biggest Pro. When your product is an FBA Product, it becomes prime eligible. This means that people who pay for the prime membership can get your product within two days. Amazon also promotes products that are prime eligible more than it would products that are not prime eligible. Customers are also more likely to buy a Prime Eligible product because of the other benefits.

Cons
1. Higher Fee – This is well justified for me because you don’t have to do the work of shipping your products.
2. They may lose stuff – This is really not a problem too since Amazon will pay for the full price of your product when it gets damaged or lost.
3. Watch inventory – You have to make sure that you don’t run out or don’t have too many products in your inventory. Amazon may bring down your sales rank if you run out of stock for a long period of time.

Fulfilled by Merchants

Pro
1. You don’t have to pay the fee.
2. You can offer more options.
3. You can do made to order items.

Cons
1. You have to ship it yourself
2. You won’t get as many sales

How do you know which one is right for you?
If you are doing private labeling or a doing a passion product like Performance Nut Butter or Vino Cards, you can do FBA . You only have one SKU and it’s not difficult (more…)

Don’t Start a Company With Your Girlfriend Until You See This!

A lot of people tell you not to start a business with your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband and family members and I have to say, I really understand why. In this video, I’ll share with you the challenges of working with a loved one on a business.

My girlfriend and I recently started a business together called Vino Cards. She’s doing most of the work and I’m helping and guiding her along the way. Today, I got pretty upset with her because I asked her about a week ago to get a few different things done and she was not able to carry out those tasks after a week. Ariana and I have very different lifestyles and work styles. We’re like Yin and Yang. I’m all about doing and getting things done while she’s all about going with the flow. This kind of set up works very well in a romantic relationship but this can cause some problems in a working relationship.

What I realized with this is that the way that I talk to her is actually a reflection on how I talk to myself. I get extremely hard on myself when I don’t get a task done. My initial reaction is to get upset and angry and she gets sad. I can see she’s trying her best but sometimes her best isn’t good enough for me.

It has been extra tough for me too because I’m teaching her my method in creating a passion project. I mapped out this formula/course which I would want to share with everyone in the future. The problem is that she doesn’t follow it at times. There are certain things she forgets or she’s too busy to do it. I want her to be successful not just because it does her good but also (more…)

How to Setup Google Adwords Retargeting in 4 Minutes

ReTargeting using Adwords is easy to do and it is one of the cheapest ways to get more sales on your website. In this video, I’m going to show you how to do it in a few easy steps in just 4 minutes.

1. Set up G-Tag
Set up your G-Tag or the Google remarketing Ad by going to Tools, Audience Manager. Go down to Audience sources, click on details under Google Ads tag and you would see the tag set up instructions. Copy the code on the Global Site Tag.
Go to Shopify, select online store, click Customize, Actions and then Edit Code, Go to theme.liquid, paste the code at the bottom of the slash body. Click save. Do the same thing on another area by going to Setting, Check Out, scroll down below and paste the same code on the Additional Scripts box.

Go back to Google Ads then go to Campaign, click New Campaign, select Display Ads, select Sales, select Standard Display Campaign, put in your website URL then click continue. Assign a campaign name and select the appropriate options. I think $2 is enough for the budget while you can put in $0.5 for the group bid just because I don’t want to spend that much right now.

3. Define Audience
This is the important part. Under audiences while working on the display ads, select How they have interacted with your business, choose website visitors, and then Select All visitors system defined.

4. Upload Images
Click Upload Display Ads and Upload images. You can check out the dimensions to use by clicking on the supported sizes and format.

Setup Retargeting Ads on Facebook in 4 Minutes

Facebook Retargeting Ads is one of the cheapest and best way to get conversions on your website so

in this video, I will show three easy steps to set up your Facebook Retargeting Ads.

1. Install The Pixel

– Go to pixels, Click Add Data Source, Assign a Pixel name and put in the URL of your website. Click create then select “Use an Integration or Tag Manager”, choose a partner, in my case Shopify,

Just follow the instructions as it will walk you through on what to do. Copy your pixel ID then go to Shopify. In Shopify, Go to Online Store, select Preferences, and paste the Pixel ID to the Facebook Pixel ID area.

2. Create an Audience

Once your pixel is activated and correctly working, it will collect an Audience and to make sure that it does that accordingly, you need to customize it. To do that, go to Audience under Assets, click Create a Custom Audience. What I would suggest is that you create an Audience for everyone who visited your website in the past 30 days and assign a name to it. Then, create another audience for everyone who purchased from your website in the past 30 days.

3. Create the campaign

Go to Ads Manager, Click create and if it gives you a pop up, select Guided Creation so you can learn more about your options. Assign a name for your campaign, click continue then select the Custom Audiences you have created. What I recommend is that you select the Audience for everyone who visited your site in the past 30 days then Exclude the other custom audience that you have for everyone who purchased in the past 30 days. Upload an Image and make sure that your image does not have too much Text because Facebook may end up (more…)
