Step by step how to apply for Amazon Brand Registry. I go in-depth on everything you need to do to be able to apply and receive the brand registry in this video.

In this video, I will talk about something that has helped so many Amazon FBA sellers prevent their product from being changed and edited by others. It doesn’t guarantee that your product will not be sold by other Amazon sellers but it does give an extra level of protection. This is the Amazon Brand Registry. It used to be easier to apply but they’ve made it a little bit more complicated. With Brand Registry, you can also enroll multiple brands and it doesn’t have to be the same name.

Why you need Brand Registry?
This is going to prevent people from being able to change and merge your product listing. it’s going to give you a lot more control of the Amazon platform. A lot of different functions and features are not available unless you’re in Brand Registry. It also makes it so it’s less likely that your product is going to get suppressed.

One of the things you need to apply is a trademark. You are also going to need a website with contact details. I recommend ideally if it could be the same URL as the email that you used to log in. You should also make sure that your brand name appears on the packaging or on the product itself. It lets Amazon know that whatever brand name you are trying to register, it really is your product.

How to apply for Brand Registry?
Applying for Brand Registry is crucial if you’re going to be selling on Amazon. Aside from giving you protection, it gives you access to A+ brand content. If you don’t have Brand Registry, you’re just (more…)

This is the BIGGEST Mistake I have made on AMAZON, plus I talk about the top 5 mistakes I see other sellers making, and I share my income report.

There are a lot of people that sell on Amazon and most people make the same mistakes over and over again. In this video, I will share with you the top 5 mistakes that new sellers make and how to prevent them.

Niching Down
The first mistake I see that new sellers make is not niching down enough. Whatever product you have, you need to niche down the branding. You need to niche down who it’s for. It is wrong to think that your product is for everybody. Think about the most niche market you can and create a perfect product for them.

Creating a Tribe
The second mistake is not creating a tribe before they launch on Amazon. You want to create a group of people that absolutely love your product before you even create it. The idea is to get people that are going to help you develop your product.

Launch Strategy
By far, my most favorite way to launch a product on Amazon is to have a Product Launch Group. I like to get a bunch of people on Facebook. Aside from them helping me create my product, they will also be the first ones in line to buy the product when I launch it on Amazon. What happens is you get a spike of sales and reviews the day that you launch your product. Amazon will see this and most likely put it on top of search results, making it snowball into more and more sales.

Other ideas for your launch strategy is to build an email list, interact with people on Facebook Messenger, and send direct messages on Instagram. You should have a proper (more…)

There are some little dirty secrets about Shopify that you need to know before you buy, including the reasons why you don’t need it. In this video, I will share with why you don’t necessarily have to buy Shopify

Free Alternative
A free alternative to Shopify is WooCommerce. If you are tight on cash and want to start an online store, WooCommerce is a better suggestion for you. Basically, the way it works is you need to create a WordPress website and WooCommerce is a free plug-in for WordPress. However, to have a WordPress site, you need to pay a small amount for hosting.

If you’re looking for a 100% free alternative, there are other options but all of these have some major downsides. One option is selling on Amazon. One good thing about Amazon is usually you only pay a percentage fee of what you sell. However, if you use Fulfilled by Amazon, then you have to pay a monthly fee. Another option for you is Kickstarter. You can raise some money at the same time to validate your idea. You can use the money to pay for your monthly Shopify or WooCommerce site.

Gurus are Biased
A lot of people are selling specifically because they get an affiliate commission. If you use our links to sign up for Shopify, the guru gets a kickback. The way it works is that the person gets back the two months that they pay to Shopify. What happens to a lot of gurus is that they recommend Shopify only to get that affiliate commission even though they think WooCommerce might be a better option. However, the thing is most ecommerce platforms have affiliate programs and these gurus make as much money recommending other sites like Big Commerce or Volusion. You have to decide for yourself which is (more…)

This video is a complete guide on how to sell on Amazon. You will go from beginner to expert in this video. I will share everything that you need to know about selling on Amazon.

How does Amazon FBA work?
Basically, you send your product to Amazon Fulfillment Centers. They hold and store it. When a customer purchases your product, Amazon picks and packs your product. The fulfillment and shipping are all done by Amazon.

The Business Models
There are four business models that you commonly see on the Internet: Retail Arbitrage, Wholesale, Private Label, Create Your Own Product. These are four different ways that you can earn on Amazon. Out of these four, I recommend creating your own product.

Retail Arbitrage – Buy discount items and flip them on Amazon. The benefit of this is it is low risk. It also requires low amount of cash. The downside of this is it is not scalable and not very reliable.

Wholesale – Buy items at wholesale and sell on Amazon. It’s relatively easy. You only need to find reliable manufacturers to buy wholesale from. However, it’s pretty saturated and has high competition. It’s also not a long-term business model.

Private Label – Find a winning product, something that people are buying. Create your own private label and sell it on Amazon. However, it is hard to find a product to private label and it is expensive to start. It is also saturated and has high competition. It also does not work as well as it used to.

Creating Your Own Product – This is the next gold thing on Amazon. Find something that does not yet exist and sell it on Amazon and Shopify. You also need no/low cash to start because you can raise money through a crowdfunding campaign. There is also no competition and you own (more…)

I want to teach you how to create and sell a product on Amazon for free. I want to give you my Amazon course for free. What I do on Amazon is a little bit different from what everyone else is doing. What I recommend doing is create your own product, something that you wish existed in the world.

Below are the different steps and basic structure of the course:

Idea – I have a complete module on how you can come up with an idea of a product that you’re passionate about. I want to help you start a business that you really believe in. Amazon is not a get rich quick scheme. You will have to put in some work. You might as well put in work into something that you love.

How To Build Brand – Gone are the days when you can make money just by slapping some boring brand on whatever your product is. There’s a lot of science on how to properly brand a product. I have a bunch of videos that I will give you for free on how to do this.

Launch Group – Another key thing that a lot of people are missing is to create raving fans. Before you launch on Kickstarter and Amazon, you should create a Product Launch Group. Get a bunch of people that are really excited for your product to come out. The people in your launch group will also help you build an amazing product.

Kickstarter – Don’t just go straight to Amazon. Test out your idea and make some money off of it to pay for the production run. The beautiful thing about Kickstarter is you don’t need to produce anything up until you get the money.

Legal Stuff – This is a bonus module I’m throwing (more…)

There are 10 things I learned in the last year and a half of selling on Amazon. Some of these that I’m going to share are tactics that will increase your sales. However, some of them are things that I wish somebody told me when I was starting out.

Cash Flow
One of the things you have to remember is revenue is not profit. You have to understand your numbers and your cash flow. In my case, I have $746,114.67 in revenue. I paid $252,399.50 for the actual products. I spent $107,763.72 for the Amazon fees and another $110,078.10 for the Amazon FBA pick-and-pack fees. I also spent $40,464.97 for Amazon PPC, $10,166.15 and $13,000 for other expenses like paying the LLC. In total, I earned $212,242.23 in profit for the last year and a half. However, that does not go into my pocket. I reinvest it back into the business.

Don’t Compare
This is a toxic mentality. When you look at other YouTube gurus talking about how much money they are making online, remember lesson number 1. Also, if someone is making more money than you, see what you can learn from them. They could be doing something that you are not aware of. You also have to remember that as you get more success in life, there’s always someone who going to be more successful than you are. However, that is not a bad thing. There are lessons that you can get from them.

Document and Share
Document your journey and share your knowledge. However, I’m not doing this to brag. One of the reasons I do this is because people like watching what are the real raw numbers. I want to be 100% honest as possible and be truthful about what’s behind the entrepreneurship curtain. Also, I noticed that people tend to watch those (more…)
