Welcome To Episode #39 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode give you when and why you should consider taking your Amazon FBA business outside of Amazon.

Listen to the podcast and gain some Amazon FBA success!

 

When To Start Selling Outside Of Amazon - Amazon FBA Success [EP 39]

When is the right time to take your Amazon business outside of Amazon?

Certainly many sellers are tempted to explore the possibilities of selling outside of Amazon at a certain point.

For long term Amazon FBA success having a presence outside of Amazon could prove to be a smart play.

Here is my breakdown of thoughts on when you should consider moving outside of Amazon. 

  • If you are not having success on Amazon then don't worry about starting your own e-commerce site yet.
  • Once you start to have some Amazon FBA success with a few products then you might consider taking your brand outside of Amazon.
  • If you are just getting started then don't waste an ounce of effort on things like Facebook ads or any other social media marketing.
  • You don't ever have to take your business outside of Amazon if you don't want to as Amazon is still a great platform that converts.

Here are some benefits to having your own site:

  • You can enroll in Amazon brand registry
  • You can link your e-commerce and Shopify site to your Amazon FBA account
  • You can gain a few additional sales
  • You can link it to your social media accounts for your brand
  • You get the email addresses of your customers
  • You can control everything
  • Customers and easily contact you about issues

When To Start Selling Outside Of Amazon - Amazon FBA Success [EP 39]

Jun 22, 2016

Welcome To Episode #38 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I tell you a story about why Amazon had to give me $840.48 and why you should always pay attention to details in your business.

Listen to the show to gain some valuable Amazon FBA tips!

 

Why Amazon Gave Me $840.48 - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show [EP38]

As a business owner it's important to pay attention to details in your business. If you fail to pay attention to the details in your Amazon FBA business then you might be losing out on money and inventory. Amazon is great but even they screw things up from time to time.

If you listen to the podcast I explain how Amazon lost about 50 units of my product and how I noticed the discrepancy. Although it took nearly 3 weeks to get a resolution I managed to get paid $840.48 by Amazon for the error. Had I not noticed the issue I might have just been out on a bunch of inventory and of course...money.

AMAZON FBA TIPS:

  • Bring any issues concerning missing product to Amazon's attention right away
  • Communicate specifics and facts only
  • Don't assume Amazon is perfect
  • Watch your inventory levels closely
  • Check your FBA Shipments screen closely
  • Keep track of your tracking numbers and shipping records

Why Amazon Gave Me $840.48 - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show [EP38]

Jun 17, 2016

Welcome To Episode #37 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I walk you through 5 things that will get your Amazon FBA account suspended.

Listen to the show to get educated on what you need to know as an Amazon seller and to protect your Amazon FBA account.

5 Ways To Get Your Amazon FBA Account Suspended - Amazon FBA Tips [EP 37]

Selling on Amazon is a privilege and not a right. As an Amazon seller it is important that you know the rules of the game so you can steer clear of trouble.

In this episode I will uncover 5 different ways that you can get your Amazon FBA account suspended.

5 WAYS TO GET ACCOUNT SUSPENDED:

  1. HAVING POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
    • Ensure you take care of customer issues right away as Amazon tracks how quick you respond to customer issues.
    • Always go above and beyond when taking care of a customer. Return and refund purchases as needed.
    • Don't argue with the customer or accuse them of anything. Let the customer win.
    • Ensure you have an email sequence set up using SalesBacker. This will ensure quality customer service and allow the customer to reach you with any issues directly.
  2. HAVING MORE THAN ONE AMAZON SELLERS ACCOUNT
    • You need permission from Amazon to have a second account.
    • Be careful of family members in your household that also have Amazon sellers accounts.
  3. MANIPULATION REVIEWS
    • Giveaways and product launches are ok but you must keep them to a reasonable level.
    • Ongoing and excessive giveaways are a bad idea.
    • Paying someone directly to leave a review is a bad idea.
    • If someone uses a promo code and wants to leave a review they must leave a review disclaimer
    • Organic reviews are the best and can be easily obtained from using SalesBacker.
  4. POOR QUALITY PRODUCTS
    • High return rates on your products can be a cause for concern
    • Check the returns report weekly and address any issues
    • Don't deceive buyers on your product listing
    • Have high quality products
  5. VIOLATING COPYRIGHTS/TRADEMARKS AND SELLING COUNTERFIT ITEMS
    • You are responsible for following copyright and trademark laws
    • Just because an item is on Alibaba doesn't mean it's safe to sell
    • http://www.uspto.gov/

If you happen to get your account suspended by Amazon then make sure you follow all of their directions to get your account reinstated. Don't argue or complain. Seek the services of an expert in Amazon account suspensions if you are unable to clear up the matters with Amazon on your own.

3 Simple Listing Tweaks For Big Profits - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show EP

Jun 3, 2016

Welcome To Episode #33 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I break down how you can deal with those pesky listing high jackers and remove them from your listing.

 

How To Deal With High Jackers - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show Podcast EP 33

In this podcast episode I discuss listing high jackers...

Yes they suck and just about every Amazon seller I know will have to deal with them at one time or another.

More often then not you can get them off your listing fairly easily without issue. However a small percentage of them take some extra effort.

 

WHAT IS LISTING HIGH JACKING?

It's essentially when someone else uses your listing you created to sell a similar or counterfeit product. (Yes Amazon allows others to jump on your listing and sell from it)

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING?

You will see on your listing under the pricing information or off to the right of the page that it says "Also Sold By" or "Other Sellers" It will usually be shown in red and then list the sellers next to it. 

WHAT IS THE BUY BOX?

If you are the only seller of the item on your listing then by default you own the "Buy Box." If you have other sellers on your listing then by default you will still get the sale unless the customer clicks on another seller to buy from them. It can occur where you get bumped from the "Buy Box" on your own listing and someone else take control of it. In order for you to make a sale they would have to click on you as the seller and buy from you.

HOW TO DETER HIGH JACKERS?

  • Make sure you are private labeling your products and putting your logos on the product and packaging if you can. Then make sure your logo clearly shown on your product in your listing images.
  • Make sure you are checking your listings daily to monitor.
  • Register your brand with Amazon Brand Registry. (This will require a website.)(Wordpress, Shopify)

HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THEM?

  • Start by sending them a nice message that is polite but kindly tells them to stop selling on your listing. Wait 24 hours for them to respond.
  • Send them a slightly stronger worded message if they fail to comply after 24 hours.
  • Send them a cease and desist letter.
  • Buy the product from their listing and wait until it arrives. Document it and take pictures of what they actually sent you.
  • File a complaint with Amazon directly and let them deal with it. (Click Here To Do That)
  • Seek legal advice from a lawyer if desired.

FIRST MESSAGE TO HIGH JACKER:

Hey,

I just wanted to kindly inform you that we noticed you are selling on our listing we created. While we are certain you did this by mistake we just wanted to reach out and ask nicely that you please remove yourself from our listing. Here is the ASIN that we are referring to in this matter (XXXXXXXX)

Take care and have a great day

Company Name

 

SERIOUS TONED MESSAGE TO HIGH JACKER:

Hello (insert seller name here),

We have noticed that you are still continuing to sell our product on our listing. This is our brand that we created and we have never authorized any other sellers to sell.

If you are attempting to use our listing while selling a similar or counterfeit brand then that is something that we take very seriously. We also know that Amazon takes that very seriously and we are already in communication with them about this incident.

If you do not remove your product from our listing immediately then we will send Amazon a formal Cease And Desist letter. If you remove your product from our listing we will kindly inform Amazon not to pursue this matter any further at this point.

We appreciate your swift action and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

INSERT NAME

CEO

BRAND NAME

How To Deal With High Jackers - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show EP 33

Jun 1, 2016

Welcome To Episode #32 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I tell you why you should break all the rules and think outside the box when trying to find a product to sell on Amazon.

 

Find A Product To Sell On Amazon By Breaking The Rules And Thinking Different - Amazon Private Label Show Podcast EP 32

Looking to find a product to sell on Amazon right now?

Yes it can be downright brutal to find the perfect product that meets all of your criteria.

Some people spend weeks or even months in the product research phase and then fail to take action and make a decision.

One of the main problems is that most Amazon sellers are all following the same general criteria in the product research phase and looking in the same exact product categories as everyone else.

In this podcast episode I talk about thinking a little outside the box to find a product to sell on Amazon.

A lot of the hidden gems are discovered when you break some of the rules and are willing to take some risks.

Here is a basic criteria of what your product should be like:

  • Small and lightweight - fits in a shoebox and 1-2 pounds max
  • Simple and not complex
  • Sells for $20 or less on Amazon
  • Makes you $10 of profit per unit sold

Now I am here to explain that it's ok to break some of these general rules.

Consider the following ideas:

  • Larger or slightly oversized items
  • More expensive items that are $30 and above
  • Slightly more complex items
  • Unique or odd items
  • Avoid the popular and "sexy" items and categories
  • Item makes you $5-$10 profit

As long as your bottom line numbers work out then you should be willing to open your mind up in the product research phase.

After playing on Jungle Scout for about 30 minutes I quickly discovered some potential opportunities in the follow categories:

  • Arts, Crafts, sewing
  • Baby
  • Bathroom Accessories
  • Office Supplies
  • Items Made of Bamboo
  • Unique Travel Adapters

Also if you are looking to find a product to sell on Amazon without using any tools then you are essentially just wasting a lot of time. Using a tool like Jungle Scout allows me to quickly uncover cool things to sell within the matter of minutes.

There are certainly unique opportunities all around you so start to think about those odd or unique items. They may not be "sexy" but I am sure you wouldn't mind if they were making you an extra $2000 a month passive income.

So in conclusion... Think weird, break some rules and don't be afraid to go against the grain when in the product research phase.
