Ever wonder what a day of an FBA Amazon Seller looks like?
In this video, I’ll take you with me so you can witness what my day looks like and to show you as well how selling in Amazon changed my life.

I didn’t always sell at Amazon. I started my E-Commerce website www.bdancewear.com 5 years ago when I quit my job. At first, we just sold on our own website but was eventually persuaded to sell on Amazon because of a few friends who convinced me on how much easier my life would be if I sell on Amazon and they were right.

As of now, I only work once a week for my Amazon Product, Performance Nut Butter. I only do this every Tuesday so I try get a lot of things done as much as possible. The day I filmed this video, I woke up at 3:00 AM but since I work for myself now, I was able to go back to sleep despite having a lot of anxiety about the things that I need to do.
I started my regular morning routine then spent majority of my morning working on my computer, had lunch with friends and spontaneously went to the beach and played spike ball. This is something that I don’t normally do when I work for Performance Nut Butter but again, this is one of the many benefits of being an Amazon FBA seller. You can always decide if you want to stop working and just go back to work when you’re ready. The rest of the night I spent with my girlfriend Ariana as we had dinner, happy hour and do some Salsa.
The BIG LESSON I’ve learned in the last five years of being an Entrepenuer?
It’s all about the relationships you have. It’s easy (more…)

Are you thinking of hiring a virtual assistant or a freelancer to outsource a job? Hiring my first freelancer and eventually, my first Virtual Assistant is a big turning point for my business. It made my life so much easier and helped me generate more money for my e-commerce business. In this video, I’ll be comparing three freelancing platforms: Upwork, Fiverr and Onlinejobs.ph. I’ll be discussing the Pros and Cons of each platform and help you determine which one is best for you.

Pros:
Upwork
– Great for finding Freelancers who can do just about anything.
Fiverr
– It is very cheap and you can also find someone who can do just about anything.
– It’s also a great place to get some small tasks done easily.
Online job’s.ph
– An amazing place for finding a virtual assistant at a very cheap rate.

Cons:
Upwork
– They charge a pretty sizable transaction fee and most freelancers charge higher rates as to compare to Freelancers on other platforms.
– The process of needing to go through all the resumes can also be annoying.
Fiverr
– You may end up getting a low-quality result unless you are willing to screen your applicants carefully.
Onlinejobs.ph
– You need to pay for a monthly subscription fee while you’re looking for someone to hire but this is still worth it because you’ll be able to hire people at a cheaper rate.

So which one should you use? The answer is it depends on what you’re doing.

CONS:
1. Biased YouTubers – The reason why you hear YouTubers tell you to get Jungle Scout is because they are an affiliate of this
2. Free Alternatives
3. Don’t White Label – Instead, think of a passion product. A product you wish existed in the world, and create it. More Unique = Less Likely To Be Ripped Off

PROS:
1. It Will Save You Time – If you do not want to the work I mentioned above, then try it out!

Why I Hate Private Labeling

Private Labeling

Pros:
– It’s easy to get started
– You don’t need to think hard about it
– More creative = higher profit

Cons:
– It’s easy for someone else to copy your products
– You get more competition with the SAME product
– Manufactures may do a better job than you

The Way To Sell In Amazon:
– Create a passion product: a product that does not exists and would solve a problem
– Add value to the world. Create something unique that you’re passionate about. That way, other people will be surely passionate about it as well.

Remember: Do something that excites you!

The most important product research technique that no body is talking about – it’s creating a product you are passionate about

1. Excited For The Product

Someone with more money will never be able to beat you towards the idea of the product if you’re excited and passionate about it.

2. You Are The Customer

You already know there is already one customer in the world, and that’s you. And there’s probably more people out there like you.

3. You Are The Niche

You don’t have to do a bunch of niche research since you are already the niche. You already know what you want and you’re making the product for yourself.

And think about it this way, if you are the niche, then your friends are probably a niche too, so utilize all the resources you have.

The truth is, if you’re using my method, you don’t have to use product research tools although they can be helpful.

Setting up your WordPress website? You might encounter Blue Host, Host Gator, and Site Grounds when purchasing your domain name because they are three big domain providers for WordPress.

In this video, I’ll be comparing all three so you’ll get to see the pros and cons of each. And hopefully help you decide which one you’ll choose by the end of the video!

Blue Host vs. Host Gator

Both of these websites are owned by the same company. Their goal is to make the prices cheaper. These two are very similar but Blue Host is what WordPress recommends.

Blue Host vs. Site Ground

-Both Approved by WordPress and Wocommerce
-Ease of Use – This is highly debatable but I do lean towards Blue Host
-Speed and Up Time – Site Ground is better at having your website up and the loading speed is much faster too
-Security – They both have great security but Site Ground wins this one because they do provide free SSL certificates even with their cheapest plans
-Price – Site Ground is a little cheaper than Blue Host so it wins for the price, too
-Wordpress and WooCommerce – It’s a tie for this since they both run wordpress and woocommerce well

Whichever service you choose, put your website out there, buy your domain name, and get hosting today. It’s one of the best choices I have ever made! :

How Do You Create A Passive Income? I don’t support dropshipping or white labeling because while you can make sales from it, you won’t be able to make as much profit as if it was your own product. So create a product that you wish existed in the world. You don’t want to copy someone else, that’s what everyone is teaching you. Call it a passion project and think of a product that is unique and would give value to the world.

Here was what I told Ariana to do in 5 weeks to make her product launch a success!

Week 1:

Create A Tribe

When people see something unique, they’re more likely to follow you, your brand, and your company. By creating a pre-launch group, you already have a bunch of interested people and by the time you have launched your product, you have a huge influx of sales.

To create a tribe, one thing you should do is create an Instagram for your page and follow, comment, and like on other people. Another is to build an email list then a facebook launch group. All these tools are free and they’re a great way of creating brand awareness for you product.

Create a Basic Mock Up Of Your Product

It doesn’t have to be perfect yet, just create a basic model of how you would want your product to look like
