How to start selling on Amazon as a new seller simplified.

How to start selling on Amazon as a new seller simplified. (not sponsored by a guru) I'm gonna go over exactly how to start selling branded items on Amazon leading into 2026 if you're gonna do this do it right now because it's officially Q4 season and all that means is it's the last three months of the year and November December have some of the craziest volume on e commerce in general so if you can get started you can take that momentum leading into 2026 and get started. Now the first thing a lot of people DM me is why Amazon right why not shopify why not Etsy why not one of these other marketplaces it's because Amazon has 300 million active users 200 of which are prime members and the second reason is FBA right they have a program called fulfillment by Amazon and all that means is that we can ship all our products out to them and they can pick pack and ship all those orders for those prime members who are ready to buy who have active subscriptions and then Amazon will deliver our packages to them so it's absolutely beautiful that we can leverage this out to them and then just deal and let them deal with all of it. Now in order to get started you need to have an Amazon Seller Central account right this is not your buying account this is not a business prime account this is not any of those the Seller Central account right this is gonna allow you to start selling products on Amazon and what you gonna do is you gonna go to your marketplace so if you're in Canada for example you're gonna do sell dot Amazon dot CA and you're gonna sign up if you're from the US it's sell dot Amazon dot com for example and you're gonna go through everything you're gonna register and you're gonna sign up to have a active Seller Central account. But once your account is active you need a couple software tools in order to actually do the product research that we're gonna talk about and those are gonna be Keepa and SellerAmp right so Keepa and SellerAmp is all you need to start grow and pretty much scale your business. Now both of these tools will cost you like 50 bucks a month and they're both like 20 30 bucks each in order to get started with the business you need to spend a little bit of money so if you have absolutely no money then go get a job and start getting some income coming in because you're gonna need some money to get started with Amazon where you're gonna buy these products you need the subscription tools you're gonna pay the Amazon Seller Central fee which is like also 30 bucks a month so once you get these two tools Keepa we're gonna use as a product analysis tool so it pretty much has everything we need in terms of understanding how often does this product sell what price point does it sell for on average how many sellers are on this listing how many are getting off of the listing right so we need all this information in order to buy a product it's gonna help mitigate as much risk as possible so you definitely need to understand it. SellerAmp is gonna be a profit calculator so we're gonna be able to see our total profit after the cost price after the Amazon fees after everything right plus we're gonna use it as a product research tool which I'm gonna go over in the next step but these two tools are all you need to get start and with YouTube and ChatGPT nowadays you can easily find out exactly how to use both Keepa and SellerAmp I'm not gonna go over exactly in depth how to use them but trust me YouTube you'll find all the information that you need now obviously once you watch the videos you need to actually implement and use it every single day and you're gonna be able to master it but everything's on YouTube now. This is where MOST people quit. Don't be most people. Now this is where a lot of people get to and most people fail because they don't understand that as a brand new Amazon seller account you're not gonna be able to sell anything you want you're gonna be restricted in a lot of categories we're gonna not be able to sell a lot of brands and this is where most people get demotivated and then just quit but I'm gonna explain to you guys how you're gonna go through this actually be able to start selling products. Talked about this before in terms of the method that we use it's called reverse sourcing slash storefront stocking it's kind of a similar thing but basically we're gonna go into other people's storefronts using seller amp we're gonna see what products they're selling what brands they're selling what categories they're in and what you're gonna do this is the key probably the most important takeaway of this video is that you need to find storefronts who are similar to you right so you're a brand new seller you have no ratings nothing you need to find storefronts who have maybe 10 20 30 ratings right you don't wanna go for the storefronts who have hundreds of reviews hundreds of ratings because you're not gonna be able to find those products maybe even 10 and under maybe even 20 and under I would say a good number is like 50 and under right so stick with those smaller storefronts because you're gonna see that they have products they're obviously finding products as new sellers they're selling those products profitably right so you're gonna be able to do the exact same thing as them just utilizing this information is gonna be key plus you also need to realise that you will need to start getting invoices to get un gated for brands the way you're gonna do this is pretty much there are stores that give out invoices right for example dot c a for example a Home Depot it's these stores give and you can try G B T as well right so you try ChatGPT you'll start to realise that there's stores who will give you invoices that will work with Amazon you can order 10 of those products you're gonna send them in you're gonna get un gated right so as a new seller you have to understand that you're gonna have to continuously submit these invoices as well even for me actually I have a product right now that I'm trying to get un gated for so just to actually show you guys this is OGX right so I'm trying to get ungated for the brand so I just ordered 10 of these units that this is not a profitable product but I'm just using it as the invoice so I can get ungated into the entire brand and then I can sell whatever other products I want from that brand right but I'm gonna use well.ca invoice and I might have to submit it like 10 times before they actually approve me that's another thing you have to understand it's not gonna be the first time it's not gonna be the second time might take five it might take seven it might take 10 but you need to be consistent and you need to show them I have everything you guys are requiring from me so you have to ungate me right so you might have to open up a case with them and then all that but if you're consistent enough I promise you if you start doing this the next 6 months you're gonna see so much growth and you're gonna be able to get past that hurdle of being stuck as an absolute beginner seller and if this was useful follow my Instagram as I post a lot of my progress in there and if you have any questions to DM me there as well and I'll try to help
