I'm about to answer all of these questions that you've been wondering right now. And if you can't even watch this video, that means that your brain dopamine is just completely fried. So if you can't watch this video, you know you're not going to do good with the business, so just completely forget about it, okay? There's going to be three softwares that you need: SellerAmp, and Keepa, and Amazon Seller. Those are going to be the only softwares. Amazon Seller is going to cost you $40 a month, SellerAmp is going to cost you $20 a month, and then Keepa is going to cost you another $20 a month. That is going to put you at a total of $80 a month just to run the softwares and the website that you're selling on to be an Amazon seller. Now when it comes to your first test buy or your first product launch, you're probably be spending about $200 to $300 just because of the fact that you're probably not going to go all in because of the fact that you want proof of concept. So once you drop the $200, $300 on about 10 to 20 units, you're going to sell out of those, you're going to realize, holy crap, Amazon actually works. And then you're probably going to drop about 1, 2, 3K, whatever money you have in your bank account is probably what you're going to drop just because of the fact that you realize how easy Amazon is and you're able to dump that money in. Now how do you even find these products in the first place is that you're going to want to be looking at other sellers who are completely brand new who already found these products for you. So instead of you going on a website and going one by one looking for these products, you could just find a seller who is brand new who already went one by one on these websites and are now selling these products. The best way that you're going to do this is by going to vilacost.com. It's a website that is super beginner friendly for Amazon sellers. Once you look up vilacost.com and you pull up everything on the catalog, go one by one on that website until you find a product that you're actually allowed to sell because every single item on Amazon, you may be restricted for. But there's going to be this couple that you are allowed to sell without having to submit any proof or get approval from the brand. Since you're a brand new seller, a lot of these brands are just going to be restricted because of the fact that you're a brand new seller. But for other sellers who actually have a comp performance, they're allowed to sell these brands. So since you have absolutely zero sales, you're limited to the amount of brands that you can sell. So when you do find a product that the brand does actually allow you to sell, you want to look at the sellers of these products and you want to click their store and you want to see the products that they're selling. If you found another product that's restricted and you looked at the sellers on that listing and then you saw that every single product that they're selling is restricted, that's because you found them from a restricted product. But if you found a product that on your account you're unrestricted in and you're able to sell and you look at the sellers on that listing, then that obviously means that they're going to have more products that is unrestricted on their store. So once you went on VilaCost and you found a product that is unrestricted and you looked at the sellers who are selling their product, you go on their store and you go one by one until you find a product that meets the requirement that you're looking for. Set your FBM fee to a minimum of $6.50 per pound, or not per pound, just FBM fee and that's it. For FBA, you want to go to your SellerAmp settings and change that to about 80 cents per pound. That's on the higher end, but it's better to be on the higher end than the lower end when you're calculating profit. Once you put that in, plug in the cost price that it's going to cost you to buy the product that they're selling on their store and if you're profitable for that product, ship it to your house, then you could ship it out from your house or you could ship it to Amazon and Amazon will ship it out for you. The business overall is pretty simple. I summed it up in about three minutes because it is that simple. The only problem with it is that it just genuinely takes time. When you're going to the click these products and you're trying to see if you're actually able to sell it, you may not find products for a day, two weeks, three weeks. It took me two months to even found my own product. But the beautiful thing about Amazon is that it's a snowball effect. The more sales that you get on your account or the more products that open up for you to sell. Once you build up to about 200 units sold, more brands allow you to sell their products. Once you're at a thousand units sold, more brands allow you to sell their products and it just gets easier and easier and easier. So Amazon is mostly only hard at the start because you're at the trenches.
