Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

When it comes to online money-makers, it doesn’t get much bigger than Amazon. Luckily for any entrepreneur looking for a new way to generate income, Amazon is an easy way to get started. They offer a variety of ways for you to share the wealth using their platform. You may be surprised by how easy it is to be an Amazon best seller or otherwise generate significant income on Amazon.

There are many ways to make money on Amazon, whether you’re selling something or not. Whatever skills or resources you have at your disposal, here are some ways that Amazon can help you to generate income.

Let’s start off with my personal favorite way of make money on Amazon which is Fulfillment by Amazon or FBA.

An Amazon FBA business isn’t as well-known as an option when it comes to making money on Amazon. Still, it’s an excellent way to make money without worrying about shipping or customer support.

Your products are stored in an Amazon warehouse, where they can make you money on the Amazon marketplace without you having to do anything once the products are shipped. Amazon Prime takes advantage of this program to get products to customers faster.

Using the Amazon FBA program, you send your items to an Amazon fulfillment center and let them take care of delivery. Customers won’t even know the difference, which is why so many people haven’t heard of this program.

As the Amazon FBA seller, you will be charged by units, depending on weight and size. You also pay a storage fee monthly if your inventory does not sell. Depending on what you have to sell, an Amazon FBA business might be a much better option for you than direct selling on Amazon.

The second way is Amazon affiliate marketing. One of the most straightforward ways to make significant money on Amazon without selling anything yourself is as an Amazon affiliate. Amazon’s affiliate program is truly a giant in the Amazon money-making world.

If you have reach online, whether it’s through a website or Youtube channel, you have the capacity to make money as an Amazon affiliate. All you need to do is recommend products on Amazon in a product category that appeals to your audience.

If your audience follows the affiliate link and makes the purchase, you will earn a commission. Generally between 1 and 10% of the product’s purchase price goes to the Amazon affiliate. Being part of the Amazon affiliate program is incredibly easy, and it can be highly lucrative.

The next one up is called Amazon handmade. Now, if you thought Etsy was the only place to sell quality handmade goods, think again. On Amazon Handmade, you can sell clothing, jewelry, accessories, art, and other artisan goods.

Amazon handmade will give you a custom link, making it much easier for all of your customers to find your shop. Amazon makes things more convenient and affordable for handmade sellers than for other selling accounts.

You will have to pay $39.99 a month for a professional selling account, but this fee is waived for handmade sellers. Just pay a 15% referral fee on your total sales price.

If you consider yourself an artist or designer, Amazon merch might be right for you. Even if you are not an expert, you may be able to make great designs that make money on this platform, as long as you are up on cultural trends and have basic design software.

You can sell t-shirts, hoodies, and lots of other things carrying your designs. You won’t have to pay anything to sell your merchandise on Amazon. Amazon takes responsibility for printing, shipping, packaging, and supporting the customer.

All you have to do is create your account, upload your design and price, and write your description and color. You get a royalty on every design that you sell. What you make depends on how much the product sells for and how much it costs at Amazon to sell it.

Moving on to number 5 which is Kindle direct publishing. Are you a writer, or do you have access to a team of writers? Getting your work published no longer requires the attention of a publishing house. Kindle Direct Publishing lets you publish Kindle books on their platform.

70% of royalties on overall sales can go to you. You aren’t limited to just digital kindle book options on this platform. Hard copies can be printed as well. Prolific writing is key to making money in this area.

A couple of bestsellers will do wonders, but you really need to create a steady stream of content to succeed in Kindle publishing. Furthermore, your work will need to sell itself or you’ll have to handle all marketing since there’s no agent or publisher to help you get the word out.

Now, if you just want to make a little bit of extra money without having to start a big project, attract an audience, or sell anything, the Mechanical Turk project might be right for you. This is one of the easiest types of Amazon work to get involved in with few initial investments.

This program lets you become one of the remote workers in Amazon’s vast army. Your tasks can involve participating in surveys and moderating and validating content.

It’s not a way to get rich fast, but you might make as much as $15 an hour or more, and you can easily fit these tasks in around your other pursuits. For people looking for a simple way to earn a couple of extra bucks on the side, this might be just the right program for you.

Strategy number 8 is retail arbitrage. Have you ever seen a really great deal at your local Big Box store like Walmart and thought that the price of something was very good? Stocking up on discounted products can make you money if you utilize retail arbitrage.

Retail arbitrage allows you to take advantage of discounts offered by big box stores to make a profit by selling those products on Amazon. By taking advantage of clearance deals and coupons, you can make a significant percentage of income for many products.

Using the FBA Revenue calculator, you can use your smartphone to scan barcodes to determine whether any given item is worth selling on Amazon. It takes a lot of work to succeed in retail arbitrage.

If you think you can make it just by picking up clearance items when you happen to see them, you’ll probably find yourself disappointed. However, if shopping for bargains is a thrill for you, you may find that you can actually make money with this strategy.

Amazon product selling or advertising isn’t the only way to build an income on Amazon. If you have a service to offer, you can also make a good income in an Amazon store. Whether you tutor musical instruments or a school subject, Amazon can help you connect with clients.

You won’t have to pay for advertising or start-up fees, and there’s no monthly subscription. All you need is general liability insurance with a $1,000,000 occurrence cap and a cleared business background check.

Services provided to homeowners also need background screening. The share to Amazon depends on what service you provide and how much you make. If you don’t want to deal with advertising your services and making a website by yourself, Amazon can take some of the work of your plate.

Next one up is to build a brand. Choose a product you love, order it from the manufacturer, put your brand and logo on it, and you’ll be a brand seller. List your product on Amazon at whatever price seems competitive to you. As an Amazon seller of your own brand, you have total control over your products.

You can apply for brand registry with Amazon to protect your private label product from counterfeiters. It’s hard to compete on Amazon, but if you have a product that has unique value or you have an edge in the market, you can make a lot of money by selling branded products on Amazon.

You’ll likely find being a professional seller on Amazon to be very reasonable. The seller central makes it easy for you to manage your Amazon seller account. For anyone who has managed a retail store, the difference will be a delight.

If you know how to effectively write product descriptions to compel buyers, take great pictures, and offer a superb product, you may rapidly gain popularity on Amazon. Trying to find products to sell on Amazon requires a fair amount of research.

Number 10 is to be a wholesale seller. For the products that most people and businesses need, Amazon can often offer the most competitive prices, largely because of their network of wholesale sellers.

Wholesale sellers buy products at a discount because they are buying very large quantities. They can then afford to sell those products at the most affordable prices on Amazon.

This tends to be a competitive industry where wholesale sellers outcompete each other with the lowest possible bottom line prices. You may not be able to make a significant income unless you have your own warehouse space to store products so you won’t have to rely entirely on the FBA program and storing products in Amazon’s warehouse.

The last one up is online arbitrage. Online arbitrage works in the same way as physical arbitrage, except you’ll be purchasing things online instead of in person. If you love shopping for great deals, but you don’t want to run around to retail stores, this can be a great option for you.

Generally, eBay is the place to go when you are looking for the lowest priced goods. By staying on top of bidding, you can get products for much lower than their retail value.

You can then sell these products at a higher value on Amazon. You may be able to turn around inventory very quickly since you’ll be able to offer a very competitive rate on Amazon because you saved so much buying on eBay.

If you’ve been dreaming about how to make money on Amazon, you may be surprised by just how easy it can be. Whatever kind of Amazon business you want to run, you can establish a great profit margin with little more than an Amazon account as your initial investment.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In this video I would like to go over the best Amazon keyword tools for FBA sellers , so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

Your sales are only as strong as their searches, and most of it starts with having the right keywords. But instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, take a data-driven approach that fits with Amazon’s A10 search algorithm.

So let’s go over the eleven best Amazon keyword tools for FBA sellers. The first one up and my personal favorite is Jungle Scout. There are so many reasons why I love Jungle Scout, with their Keyword Scout tool being one of the main ones.

You can collect high-ranking keywords based on crucial data points showing both precise and broad search volumes. Plus, they have a reverse product search so you can see exactly what buyers are searching for.

You can analyze past keyword performance for up to two years and view monthly and quarterly trend data. Then you can use this information to generate a full picture of a product’s seasonality and popularity over time, adjust pay per click campaigns and optimize listings.

Plans are really affordable with the basic plan for $39 per month, the Suite plan for $69, and the Professional plan for $129 a month, you can save up to 55% on a yearly subscription with a 7-day money-back guarantee. I left a link for you in the description if you want to check it out.

The next Amazon keyword tool I want to mention is Helium 10. You might have noticed Helium 10 is frequently mentioned, and for good reason. It’s a turbo-powered Amazon tool that knocks keyword research out of the park. Start by entering in a keyword, then click around on the many features to get a really deep and involved look at the best keywords.

For those tight on money, stick to the free plan with limited features. Or you can splurge on the Platinum for $97 a month, the Diamond plan for $197 a month or go all in with the Elite plan for $397 a month, you also get 2 months free when subscribing annually.

Moving on to the third tool on my list which is the Google Keyword Planner. It’s tough to beat Google’s depth and simplicity, especially when it comes to their Keyword Planner.

All you have to do is type in a keyword and Google will respond with its rough average monthly searches, level of competition and top of page bid.

You can broaden your search with the related keywords it suggests, expand related keywords in the right sidebar, get historical metrics and forecasts, and use Google’s tips for more ideas. It’s a free tool, but watch that you’re matching keywords to Amazon’s A10 algorithm and not Google’s.

Now, if you prefer a native tool for your keyword research, give the Amazon Keyword Tool ago. Like Google, all you have to do is type in a keyword and press enter and you’ll get results for search volume, trend, cost per click and competition, as well as the same results for related keywords.

However, there’s a catch: it costs money to view the full results. Plans are $89 a month for Pro Basic, $99 per month for Pro Plus and $199 per month for Pro Business with a 30-day money-back guarantee on each plan, but you can save up to 20% with annual billing.

For roughly the same price as the previous keyword research tool, Ahrefs offers just as many features, if not more. They boast a database of 7 billion plus keywords that are refreshed monthly, with data for 171 countries. And if you want to dive in deeper, you can get into their advanced metrics or serp metrics.

The Lite plan is $99 a month, with plans going up to $999 per month for agency use. But if you sign up for annual billing, you get two months free. Give it a try free for 7 days and make sure to take advantage of their 24 7 customer support and private Facebook community for all the resources and help you’ll need.

SellerApp is number 6 on my list. If you’re looking for some accurate and updated keyword results, SellerApp is your go-to keyword tool.

Using its free keyword research tool, you can find relevant and high-converting keywords that are within the scope of Amazon SEO. Besides, you will get insights into keyword metrics such as search volume, cost per click and estimated orders.

If you want to use their data-backed tools with accurate results, you can sign up for their free trial. You will get an extra 25% off on the yearly subscriptions and will get to choose from a Pro-Lite plan at $89 a month and a Professional plan for $149 per month.

Next one up is Keyword Inspector. With more than 600 million keywords and the ability to perform reverse product searches, Keyword Inspector can assist you in cutting through all the fluff and getting only the profitable keywords that work for you.

They’ve also got databases and reports that are country-specific so you can use what works best in each country you sell in.

Pricing is quite affordable, with their usual $59.95 fee on a limited time offer for just $39.95 with a free 3-day trial. But once you’re in, you can access a plethora of great research tools. If you only want to dip your toes in before committing, check out their free suggestions tool or free search terms tool.

Number 8 is AMZ One. While you can use AMZ One for just about all of your Amazon needs, one of its crown jewels is everything involved with keyword research, from simple ranks to sophisticated rank tracking.

You can track, analyze and optimize keywords and then update your product listings, knowing you’re on your way to outmuscling your competitors.

The Basic Plan is only $20 a month and goes up to $180 per month for the Professional Plan, with savings if you subscribe annually. They also have a free trial, but it’s not time-based. Instead, you can test out one keyword, one sales tracking, one negative review tracking and one product for free.

For a well-rounded and highly affordable tool, Merchant Words should be near the top of your list. They’ve been building their database for the 7 years they’ve been around, and have expanded to include keywords for almost every Amazon marketplace.

Even better, they’ll give you suggestions for longtail keywords, which is something too many Amazon sellers ignore.

If you’re keeping things small and local, their Silver Plan at $29 a month should do you just fine, with Amazon data for one country. But if you need more, their Gold Plan at $79 or the Platinum Plan at $149 a month gets you more features and reach, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Now, if you’re an Amazon seller who’s just getting started and don’t have a ton of money to invest on tools, then bookmark Sonar. It’s completely free to use and will give you a great starting point for what keywords to use.

The main search returns your keyword and thousands of related keywords, with 0 to 3 bars indicating the search volume. There’s also a pool of frequent words on the right side you can use to expand your search.

The last one on my list and another free Amazon keyword research tool is WordTree. It lets you see what keywords your product does and doesn’t index for. Just enter in the product, site and keyword and you’ll get the results, and you can also do this for your competitors’ listings.

If you want to upgrade a bit, they offer reports at $20 each, which we recommend using about once a month or so.

Now, before we wrap this up. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Now, although most of these Amazon keyword research tools have priced plans, remember that you sometimes have to spend money to make money. Luckily, there’s an option out there that’s really affordable and powerful in its breadth and scope which is Jungle Scout.

It’ll help you set custom pricing rules so you never have to worry about a buyer skipping over to a competitor’s more attractive listing, staying on yours instead. And when you sign up now, your 7 day free trial gives you plenty of time to get the edge on other sellers.

Thanks for watching and please make sure to watch the next videos with more Amazon FBA tips that will show up right about now.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In this video I would like to go over how to find the best Amazon wholesale suppliers for your FBA business , so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

So, you’ve done your due diligence in researching potentially profitable products. You’ve researched keywords and struck the right balance between hits and cost. And you’ve even got a solid plan for marketing and advertising. But you still have to buy your inventory, so the next step is finding profitable and reliable Amazon FBA wholesale suppliers.

But before I show you how to find suppliers let’s go over a few characteristics of a good wholesale supplier first. The right wholesale supplier can help you conquer the Amazon marketplace and gain profit. Here are some qualities to look for when trying to find the best Amazon FBA wholesale distributor.

A good supplier admits their mistake and takes responsibility to solve problems. He is capable of producing a product consistently without sacrificing quality. He also maintains open and direct communication and welcomes third-party inspection. And of course the supplier is ethical and follows the rules and regulations.

Now, let me show you 5 ways to find the right suppliers for your business. And the first one is Amazon Bestsellers. Trying to sell top-ranking products on Amazon is a strategy doomed for failure. These items already have far too much competition for you to stand a chance so late in the game.

However, you can use the Amazon bestseller list to find products that are rising in popularity. It’s a good idea to pick a niche at this point to narrow down your options.

When searching for the right products within the best sellers use this criteria. The product ranking is between 1,000 and 10,000 in the main category. The item is selling for at least $30. Anything less than this and the profit margins will be too low to be worthwhile. Bear in mind that you’ll want to set your own price to within 2 percent of what you see in the Buy Box.

At least 10 sellers are offering the product, but neither Amazon nor the manufacturer is listed as a seller. There are at least 10 reviews for the product and the item sees at least 300 sales a month.

Once you’ve used these criteria to create a shortlist of options, you’ll need to check if the manufacturers sell their products wholesale. You should also find out if there are any distributors of the products.

The second way is to go through products themselves. Any product you come across will have the manufacturer’s name and contact details printed either on the product itself or on the packaging. If you come across a product you’re interested in selling, make a note of this information.

Selling products you find is a particularly good strategy for selling local items. You may have little or no competition on Amazon, which gives you the opportunity to introduce a local brand to a wider audience. Look out for items that are completely different to anything you’d find elsewhere such as food.

Strategy number 3 is to go shopping in China. China is one of the largest global markets, if not the largest, so you can find Amazon FBA wholesale suppliers there fairly easily. Finding quality ones, however, gets a bit trickier, as there are plenty of shady wholesalers running around.

Alibaba should be the first place to look. Not only is it the largest online retailer in the country, but you’d be most likely buying direct from the manufacturers, which tends to translate into the lowest prices.

One thing to keep in mind is manufacturers on Alibaba tend to deal in large volume orders, so scout them out carefully and ask plenty of questions. If your order doesn’t meet their minimum requirements, see if you can negotiate in other ways if everything else works for you.

Some other online marketplaces in China to check out include AliExpress. Owned by Alibaba, AliExpress tends to be comprised of small businesses, meaning you can negotiate smaller volume orders much more easily than with Alibaba. AliExpress is also aimed at foreign buyers, so if you’re located in mainland China and want to buy, you’ll be out of luck.

Another one which is also owned by Alibaba is Taobao, this one is similar to AliExpress, except they are geared towards mainland China consumers. When visiting their site, be warned that the content is in Chinese.

Now, if your wholesale tendencies lean toward drop shipping, check out Made-in-China. They’ve been around since 1998 and work with Chinese product suppliers across a variety of categories to sell to buyers around the world.

And If you’re just starting out or working with a tight budget, DHgate.com just might be your answer. They’re one of the cheapest wholesalers in China and have no minimum order, allowing you to fill your inventory exactly as your needs dictate.

I personally like Global Sources because they’re a B2B company, meaning you’ll likely have an easier time negotiating with suppliers based on your business needs. Plus, each company on their sets their own minimum orders, so with a bit of looking around you can find the size that fits.

Now, if your orders are on the larger side, check out Banggood for bulk discounts. They have tiered discounts depending on how much you purchase, with savings up to 20% on your order, depending on the category.

Moving onto the third way to find suppliers which is attending trade shows. Some of the most common types of trade shows are actually trade shows for wholesale suppliers. Large trade shows host suppliers from a variety of industries, which is useful for exploring your options if you’re new to Amazon wholesale sourcing.

If you already know what types of products you want to sell, it may be best to go to specialist trade shows where you can explore options within your niche.

In the case you are searching for a particular category of products, it’s a good idea to research trade shows in advance. By creating a calendar of the upcoming shows you’d like to attend, you can fit your schedule around these events.

It’s definitely worthwhile taking the time to attend trade shows. They give you the chance to see products in real life before you commit to an order and, more importantly, allow you to talk to suppliers to form a relationship.

If you’re unable to make it to a trade show, at least spend time browsing the event website. Sign up and you’ll be able to see who is attending along with their contact information.

Now, wouldn’t it be wonderful if wholesalers were listed in one place, saving you the time and effort of looking each one up? Well, it turns out that’s a reality with wholesale directories.

One of the biggest names out there is Worldwide Brands, which contains thousands of wholesalers and more than 16 million products. There is a one-time signup fee, but the cost is well worth it.

Worldwide Brands scouts out wholesalers at trade shows, then they visit the shortlisted vendors’ warehouses and do an inspection to verify their quality before adding them to the directory.

Two other good wholesale directories to check out are SaleHoo and Inventory Source. SaleHoo also vets suppliers before adding them to their directory, counting more than 8,000 suppliers on their ever-growing list. While there is a fee, it’s well worth it knowing you’ll find reputable brands like Adidas, Oakley, Lego, Disney, 3M, Sony and more.

Inventory Source is on the smaller and more local side with a few hundred suppliers mainly located in China and the US, but don’t let their smaller size fool you. There are dozens of categories and more than a million total products, making them a competitive and attractive option.

It’s free to browse the directory and check out suppliers and their products, but you’ll need to pay for their inventory automation services.

Now, before we move on. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Now, once you’ve located potential suppliers, you’ll need to reach out and ask them if they’d be interested in working with you. Before you contact anyone, it’s important to set up an Amazon wholesale account.

Suppliers will want to know that they can start working with you immediately. They may even ask for things like your sales tax ID number or resale certificate, employer identification number, and shipping account number.

Next, research the wholesaler. To win a contract, you’ll need to show suppliers why you’re a good fit to sell their products. How can your business help lead to an increase in sales?

Finally, you need to know who to ask for at the company. The person you want will be the representative for the brand, product line, or even just the product, it depends on the size of the company.

The best way to reach out is to meet in person, as this gives you the chance to converse with the Amazon FBA supplier and make the interaction more personal. However, in-person interactions are usually only possible at trade shows.

If you are unable to wait for a trade show to come around, your second best option is to call. This way, at least you’ll have a two-way conversation.

If neither of these options are possible, for instance, you’re never able to reach the right person through your calls, you’ll have to turn to email. This should be your last resort, as a phone call is always better than a written message.

As well as pitching your business to the supplier, ask questions that show you’re knowledgeable about Amazon FBA wholesale selling, even if you’ve only just started your business.

Use the answers you receive to explain how you can resolve any problems the manufacturer or distributor is having. For instance, you could demonstrate your expertise in marketing.

At the start, you’ll need to accept that many of the responses from suppliers may be rejections. Prepare yourself for this, and then move on. Learn from each experience to think about what you could do better.

Whenever possible, ask suppliers why they rejected you. This will be useful for figuring out if you should try again with the same wholesaler six to nine months later.

In some cases, you may receive no response at all. Rather than just leaving it at just a single phone call or email, keep pushing for an answer. Every few business days, send another message or call again.

If you do receive a positive answer, never feel like you’re committed to a partnership just because the supplier wants to go ahead. When a supplier who is too willing to work with you, such as without running a background check on your business, it could be a sign that the wholesaler partners with a huge number of Amazon sellers. In this case, competition could be too high for you to make a profit.

The quantity of products you purchase will partially be down to the requirements of the wholesaler. When you order directly from a manufacturer, you typically receive a better price per unit, as there’s no third party.

However, you will likely need to place a larger order. If you’re unsure about selling so many units, the higher price but lower order size that a distributor offers may be a better option.

In terms of total inventory, aim to have enough for six to eight weeks’ worth of sales throughout the first three quarters of the year. For the fourth quarter, increase to eight to 12 weeks’ worth of inventory, as you’ll likely have more sales during the holiday season.

You also need to calculate how much you can afford to hold. The amount you’ll pay in Amazon fulfillment fees will depend on factors like the product category, item size, weight, and time of year.

One of the most difficult, but also important, aspects running an FBA business is Amazon wholesale sourcing. It takes time to research suppliers and figure out which wholesalers would be suitable for your business.

You then need to go through the process of contacting suppliers, negotiating contracts, and calculating how many products you can afford to acquire.

Obtaining your very first suppliers is particularly challenging, as you have no history of sales on Amazon. Luckily, as your business grows, it does become easier.

You’ll be able to attract new suppliers by telling a story with your brand, showing demand for their products from your current customers, and demonstrating how a partnership would benefit you both mutually.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. Today I would like to go over how to automate your Amazon FBA business, so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

A lot of people dream about having their own business, but most simply don’t have the time to make it happen. Between their day job, family, and other responsibilities it’s often difficult to start a successful side hustle.

This is why so many people are creating businesses that can be automated, and one of those is Amazon FBA. While it takes some time and effort to set up, once it’s running there are a number of ways to automate a lot of the tasks. So keep watching to learn how to start your own automated FBA business.

For those of you who are new to my channel, let me first ecplain what is Amazon FBA? Fulfillment by Amazon  is a program to automate eCommerce businesses and allows you to send all your inventory to Amazon. They’ll store it for you and fulfill your orders every time you make a sale. In this way, it’s similar to dropshipping.

Signing up for FBA is the first step towards creating an Amazon automation business because you no longer have to worry about fulfilling orders. Packing products and mailing them to customers is one of the most time-consuming parts of running an eCommerce business, but with this program Amazon takes care of all that for you.

Using FBA also means you don’t have to worry about storing your own inventory, which is great for people with limited space.

Now, how does Amazon FBA work. Here’s a rundown of how selling products with FBA works. First you send your inventory to Amazon. Once you receive your inventory from your supplier simply ship it to Amazon. Or if you trust your wholesale supplier to pack your products correctly you can have them send it straight to Amazon so you don’t have to deal with it.

Next, Amazon Stores your inventory. Once Amazon receives your items they’ll store them in one or more of their warehouses. Then Amazon fulfills your orders. When someone buys one of your products Amazon will pick, pack, and ship them to the customer for you.

Amazon also handles returns, refunds and customer service. Amazon handles all returns and refunds for your items. They also deal with any inquiries and complaints regarding shipping.

Ofcourse you will pay Amazon a fee. In return for these services you pay Amazon both a storage fee and a fulfillment fee. These fees fluctuate based on the size and weight of your products.

With FBA it’s possible that you’ll never have to even see your inventory. While there are extra fees involved the time, effort, and resources you’ll save will almost certainly make up for it.

Now, why should you automate your FBA business as much as possible. As you can imagine, there are a number of advantages to automating Amazon FBA. Let me give you a few reasons why starting an automated business is a good idea.

First, it gives you the time to run a business. If you still have a day job it can be tough to also run a side business. When you add in family commitments and other responsibilities creating an automated business might be the only way you have time to actually start with Amazon FBA.

Automation also makes it easier to grow your business. Automation systems take care of the day-to-day tasks so you can focus on finding new products and growing your business.

You will also be able to make money while you’re not working.  Running an automated business means you have more time to spend with your family. Plus, with your business on autopilot you’ll make money when you’re visiting friends, enjoying your hobbies, and even sleeping.

Essentially, the more your business is automated the more time you have to research new products and spend time doing the things you love.

Now, let’s go over a few ways to automate your Amazon FBA Business. We already discussed how utilizing Amazon FBA is a great way to automate your business, but there are a number of other strategies you can use to increase your level of automation.

So here are some steps to automate your Amazon FBA business. You can hire photographers and copywriters to create listings for your products. You can use pay per click management software to adjust your bids for different keywords.

I also recommend using inventory management software to estimate how many units you should order and when. There is also the use of bookkeeping software to automate your finances and software to control your payouts.

Now, let’s go into greater detail about each of these automations so you can implement these tactics into your own business.

First we have listing optimization and creation. Creating optimized Amazon listings is extremely important for two reasons. Including the right keywords is the number one way to get your products ranked for important search terms. And your listing is where people decide whether or not they actually want to buy your item, so it needs to be convincing.

This is why many sellers reach out to freelancers to help them with this part of the business. Not only does it automate the listing process, but it also results in higher quality listings that rank higher in searches and convert better.

In order to produce high-quality listings, you’ll need excellent photography and compelling copy. So, you’ll want to hire a photographer to take photos of your product and a copywriter to craft your description. Look for professionals who have experience with Amazon listings. You might even find people who specialize in this niche.

There are a number of different places where you can find freelancers, but two of the best sites are the Jungle Scout marketplace and Fiverr. Post your job on one of these sites and interview a few candidates to find the best ones.

Second, we have pay per click management. Besides organic search traffic, the other source you’re most likely to get traffic from is Amazon ads. These are paid advertisements that appear in search results, Amazon listings, and other sites.

Amazon ads are a great way to boost your traffic. They’re also the perfect way to drive customers to new product listings that aren’t ranking in Amazon’s organic search results yet.

If you’d like to automate this part of your business, or you’re not comfortable managing ads yourself, consider using Amazon advertising software. These tools manage your bid amounts and optimize your spending to ensure your ads are seen as much as possible for the best price.

You can also take it one step further by hiring an Amazon ads management agency. These companies can provide you with tips for buying ads, or take care of everything for you, including ad creation, management and reporting. Jungle Scout also provides great tools for advertising on Amazon, so I left a link for you in the description if you want to check it out.

Number 3 on our list is inventory management. Managing your inventory is critical for your success. If you run out of products before your next inventory reorder, you’ll miss out on potential sales, your Amazon search rank will decrease and you won’t be eligible for the buy box.

Because of this, you need to keep an eye on your inventory and order more products before you run out. Of course, if you’re busy with life or other parts of your business this isn’t always easy. Luckily, there’s software available to automate this task for you.

These tools will alert you when your inventory is running low. Forecast how much inventory you’ll need based on past sales and the time of year. And help you optimize your pricing.

There are a number of inventory management solutions available such as Jungle Scout, so do your research and find one with the features and options that are right for your business. I recently made a whole video on Amazon inventory management so make sure to go and watch it after this video.

Now, if you’re running any kind of business you should always be keeping track of your finances. This is because you need to know your revenue and expenses to determine your profits, and you’ll need a record of all your finances to properly file your taxes.

Not many people enjoy plunking numbers into a spreadsheet. Plus, this task can be extremely tedious and time-consuming. Thankfully, there’s a great solution that will help you automate your bookkeeping and drastically reduce the amount of time you spend staring at a spreadsheet.

That’s why it’s best to use bookkeeping software such as Freshbooks, such software is essential for any Amazon seller.

First, you’ll need a Google account, which you’ll use to set up a Google Sheet to track all your invoices. Next, you’ll have to get the bookkeeping software Freshbooks. This is a good investment anyway as it has a number of awesome tools to help you effectively manage your finances.

Once you have both of these in place you can set it up where every time you get an email invoice from Amazon it will automatically be logged in your Google Sheet. And as your business grows and you start making more sales you might want to consider hiring an assistant to help you with your bookkeeping.

The last task I recommend you to automate is payouts. Getting paid is likely the primary reason for starting your business, so you want to make it as easy as possible.

Without any automation, it can take upwards of 19 business days before you have access to your money. And if you want to transfer your funds before your scheduled pay date you’ll have to manually log in and request a transfer.

Finally, a lot of your money will often be unavailable to you. This is what’s known as an unavailable balance and it’s caused by things like order delays, chargebacks, or poor feedback.

If you want to avoid all this and automate the entire payout process, I recommend using Payability. With this service, you can have access to up to 80% of the money from your sales the very next day. This means you’ll get paid automatically each day, ensuring your business always has ample cash flow.

Now, as you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

So, in the middle of every month, Amazon does a cleanup in their fulfillment centers. Any inventory that has been there for more than 365 days is charged additional fees.

If you’re an Amazon FBA seller, it’s vital that you understand long-term storage fees, including which of your products are due to be charged and when. Otherwise, it can come as a very unwelcome surprise, and cut in to your profit margins big-time.

This video is about finding out how much you will pay in long-term storage fees, and how to take proactive steps towards reducing your Amazon FBA long-term storage fees.

So, which items are charged long-term storage fees? If you have a product with multiple units in stock as Amazon won’t charge for 1 single unit that has been in FBA inventory for 1 year or longer, you will be charged a long-term storage fee.

Amazon emails sellers about a month before each charge date alerting you if they expect you’ll owe long-term storage fees.

You can also find out by checking your Amazon reports. The inventory age report and inventory health report both give you information on how long your inventory has been in Amazon fulfillment centers.

Additionally, the recommended removals report calculates for you the units that are expected to be charged with long-term storage fees, and how many will need to be removed in order to avoid extra fees.

Any items assessed with long-term storage fees will be charged $6.90 per cubic foot, or $0.15 per unit – whichever is larger. This means $0.15 is the minimum charge per unit. These charges aren’t multiplicative – you only get charged the space they take up, or a flat price per unit.

You can use the same reports I just mentioned to check how much your long-term storage fees will be. Here’s how to access that. Log in to Seller Central. Go to the Inventory tab and click on Manage Inventory.

Then click Inventory Dashboard, Scroll down below to the FBA Inventory Age Box and click View Details which will bring up the report you want to see.

This report will show you the Inventory Age for each product, how many units have been in storage for more than 12 months and the estimate long-term storage fee for each product.

To calculate your total estimated fees just download the report as an excel file, open the file in Excel or Google Sheets and create a sum formula to add up the estimated fees for each product.

Amazon recommends some ways to avoid paying these fees. This includes lowering your price, advertising the product on Amazon and by making a cancellation order.

But here are some other ways you can reduce your Amazon storage fees for next week and in the future. You can avoid paying additional storage fees by strategically timing your next restock and by offloading items.

Keep in mind that these dates are calculated from the 15th of each month. So if you can offload any lagging inventory before the 15th, you’ll avoid incurring these costs.

The first way to avoid extra charges is to create a removal order. If you have lagging inventory you don’t think you will be able to sell before the deadline, you can request Amazon to remove them and return them to you.

After receiving your stock back, you can think about what you want to do with it, keep it and fulfill orders yourself, sell it on another marketplace, or try to return them to your supplier without worrying about incurring fees from Amazon.

Another way is to lower prices. If your stock is lagging in fulfillment centers, there’s a reason for this. Chances are, you’ve ordered too much stock, or you’re trying to sell at too high a price.

Dropping your prices may be what you need to kick start your products’ sales, particularly if you’re getting a lot of impressions but not selling a lot.

Just be careful with dropping your prices very low with the intention of raising them back up later. This can hurt some of your metrics, including the chances of winning the buy box. So in the long-term, one-off promotions make more sense.

You could also run Amazon Sponsored Ads campaigns. Amazon ads are an extremely valuable advertising channel for Amazon sellers, capable of a big boost in sales if you put the money in.

Some well-managed Sponsored Ads or Display Ads campaigns could be what you need to clear out excess inventory before the deadline.

A flash sale is your best option to turn a potential negative into a positive. You can use on-Amazon promotions, such as coupons or lightning deals to do this. Or, you can run external traffic campaigns and generate a bit of excitement, while building an audience.

Everyone loves a sale. Take advantage of this by creating a promotion for your products with excess inventory, and promoting it in channels such as email, social media ads or Facebook groups.

Create a campaign for your promotion, and you can offer high-discount single-use promo codes to clear out your stock while collecting a really valuable asset in the form of customer email signups.

As for the discount amount, consider your specific situation before deciding on this. If you’re about to be charged a lot in long-term storage fees, for example, if your products are quite big, or you have a lot of excess product, it will make sense to run a large discount. Just consider that you won’t be able to ask for reviews from these purchases.

You can also take advantage of free removal promotions. Amazon will sometimes offer a promotion for FBA sellers to remove items from Fulfillment By Amazon warehouses for free.  This promotion waives removal order fees for items that are removed during the promotion period.

There’s no guarantee that this promotion will be offered, but when it is, I recommend using it to your advantage.

One thing to note is that when removing items to avoid Amazon long term storage fees there is a deadline that needs to expire before you can send the item back to FBA warehouses.  Typically this is 3 to 6 months in the future. 

For example if you remove an item prior to February to avoid long term storage fees, you cannot send the item back to FBA warehouses until July. The timelines may vary slightly, but make sure you are aware of them in advance.

Now, one of the best ways to avoid long term storage fees is to manage the amount of inventory that you send in to FBA warehouses in the first place.  If you only send in quantities that are likely to sell in 6 months or less then you should have minimal long term storage fees to worry about.

Over time you should be able to get better and better at this. Use your experience to guide you.

One thing I definitely recommend doing is for any items that do end up subject to storage fees, is to evaluate why. Take a look at if you should have bought the item in the first place, if there was an issue with the listing, if there was an issue with pricing, or anything else you can identify. Then use that information to improve the products you buy in the future.

Hidden costs like shipping and storage can eat away at your profits, if you don’t think ahead. Ideally, you’ll order enough stock so that you don’t run out, but not so much that you’ll have products sitting in fulfillment centers for more than a year.

However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Unforeseen circumstances can crop up, and you can be looking at unplanned fees. If this should happen, the important thing is knowing what to expect, and how to deal with the situation.

Now you know the basics of Amazon FBA long-term storage fees. Make sure to take the necessary action to minimize these costs.

Now, as you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In this video I would like to go over how an Amazon virtual assistant can help you grow your business, so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

Now, like any kind of business, an Amazon store can be a real headache if you try to juggle all of the tasks yourself. From customer service to social media traffic to product sourcing, all of these can take up a lot of your time, when you should be really focusing on the bigger things to grow your business.

Time is precious, time is money. So, hiring an Amazon virtual assistant can really benefit you and your business. Making the decision to hire an assistant to help in each area of business operations is one of the best and first steps to grow your Amazon store.

Now, keep watching as I am going to kick things of by sharing with you the top 10 tasks you can outsource to your Amazon assistant.

The first task you could outsource is handling customer service. Customer service is one of the most important parts of growing your business. While customer service is typically handled by Amazon, your customers may still reach out to you with specific questions such as questions about your product, shipping and return information.

If you want to have good customer service, it’s crucial to respond to any inquiries as soon as possible in the most helpful way. As a business owner, you should not have to worry about handling this task as it can be very time-consuming. Hire an assistant to handle this aspect to help free up your time.

Next up, You should consider hiring an Amazon freelancer for product sourcing. An assistant who is an expert at sourcing can really help you out big time. While you focus on the important things in your business, this product sourcing expert can find you suppliers of goods or services and help you get the right product at the right price.

Task number 3 is your store set up. Why waste time setting up your store when you can get it done quickly with the help of an Amazon assistant? Consider hiring an expert who can set up your store while also making sure it drives traffic.

The next task you could outsource is your product listings and search engine optimization. Posting and updating listings on Amazon can be very tedious. From picking the best image to writing the description, having that helpful hand can really be worth it. Especially if you are moving a lot of different products.

Now, search engine optimization is of course, an important part for your business. If you want to be seen at the top of the search results, then you must know how to optimize your listing content. S E O can take a while to understand and master; luckily there are professionals you can hire who can complete this for you effectively.

FBA management is the next task on my list. If you don’t want to run out of stock, hiring someone to manage your FBA inventory is recommended. Without any worry, they can help you track your shipments to Amazon and the current status of each shipment in the Shipping Queue.

Now, before we move on to the next task on my list. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Moving on to task number, Amazon advertising. This task can be very daunting and time-consuming. A Pay Per Click campaign is a popular way to attract targeted visitors to a website and convert them into buyers. Learning it yourself will require a lot of trial and error before you actually get it right.

But if you are looking to get it done right in a short amount of time so you can grow your business even further, hiring an Amazon virtual assistant with expertise in Amazon advertising is a good choice.

Metrics management is another task you can outsource. Your Amazon seller metrics are the backbone of your business. In order to be successful, an Amazon store owner needs to always monitor performance, logistics and sales metrics.

This part of the business can get really complicated, especially if you are not knowledgeable in the details. If you want to get the job done well, hiring an assistant with experience in this field is needed.

Now, bookkeeping can be very repetitive and not fun especially if you are not a fan of numbers. If this is you, why waste any more time when you can hire someone who truly knows what they are doing and can take care of all the tedious bookkeeping tasks. Find an Amazon assistant who specializes in bookkeeping. They can really save you a lot of time each week.

Inventory management is task number 9 on my list. Having the right amount of inventory is very crucial. For instance, having too little stock can result in ending up with a stock out and damaging your rankings while having too much stock can result in Amazon storage fees.

Consider hiring an Amazon freelancer to help you manage your inventory. They can take control of ensuring your stock levels are always on point.

The last task I want to mention is product photography. For any kind of business, having high-quality visual images of the product is essential. We are visual people, and having blurry photos is not going to cut it.

If you want to become successful selling your products, you will want to share high-quality product and lifestyle images with your customers. Consider hiring an assistant that has professional experience with product photography.

This will not only help your products shine but save you a big chunk of time trying to get everything right to create quality images. Now that you see how versatile virtual assistants can be, let’s go over the a few more advantages of using one.

We all know time is one of your most precious assets as a business owner. As such, it is imperative that you use it wisely. If you’re not careful, menial tasks can overwhelm you to the point where you lose sight of the big picture.

And therein lies one of the key benefits of using a virtual assistant: when you outsource the little stuff, you have more time and energy to devote to the things that truly matter.

Now), we’re all about finding cost-effective solutions to our problems. And in this case, a virtual assistant will cost you a fraction of what it would to hire an in-house employee.

Much of that is due to the fact that your virtual assistant works remotely, meaning you won’t have to pay for any of the overhead costs that you normally would with an in-house employee, such as utility and electricity bills.

Their remote status also affords you the opportunity to hire someone from overseas, where wages are significantly lower. Speaking of remote work, think of all the space you’ll save! An off-site employee means you don’t need to provide an office, chair, desk, or computer.

And since virtual assistants are classified as independent contractors, you don’t need to provide benefits, like paid time-off or medical coverage. This also means they are responsible for their own taxes, which is a huge weight off your shoulders. 

Now, managing a virtual assistant does come with its own set of challenges that are uniquely different than having an on-site employee. Here are some things you need to be aware of.

First, you’ll need to establish how often to pay your employees. Will they be paid once a week, bi-weekly, or monthly? After you figure that out, you’ll need to select a method of payment.

If you’re using a foreign assistant, you might consider using an international money exchange platform. They charge nominal fees for currency conversions. PayPal is a popular option and it works well for overseas payments.

If your virtual assistant is working abroad, make sure to familiarize yourself with their native holidays and customs. In the Philippines, for example, they have something called 13th-month pay, which is basically an end-of-year bonus. A simple Google search will provide you with this information.

Also make sure to communicate your expectations very early on to avoid any misunderstandings down the road. Things you may want to clarify include working hours, weekly check-ins, and deadlines.

Providing regular feedback for the purpose of continual improvement is absolutely essential. A good rule of thumb, particularly if you’re working with a team, is to praise in public and criticize in private. You should also make it a point to be readily accessible to answer any questions.

What about time tracking. There are multiple different software programs you can use for time tracking, and I don’t have any specific recommendations on this front. If you’re worried about your assistant slacking off, look for a program that takes regular screenshots. 

Choosing the right virtual assistant ultimately comes down to knowing what qualities to look for. I recommend you screen candidates based on language proficiency, knowledge, experience, friendliness and responsiveness to name a few.

Keep in mind that you may end up having to train this person in the specific processes you use, so make sure they are easy to understand and take directions well. You’ll also want to keep time zone differences in mind when scheduling trainings or check-ins.

If you are looking to use them for critical tasks like ad management, search engine optimization or listing optimization, make sure they have the experience and ability to do these jobs effectively.

If they can’t, or they are learning on your dime, they will end up costing you much more than any savings you may realize. Just as I don’t advocate using an inexperienced bookkeeper for your business, I don’t want you to try and save money on a task like this by using an untrained assistant in a role that directly impacts your business’ success.

So, don’t waste any more time on the tedious tasks of your Amazon business. There is only so much time in one day and only so much one business owner can do. Whether you are just starting out or reaching for an increase in sales, hiring an Amazon virtual assistant to take care of different tasks will only help you continue to grow as a business.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. Today I would like to go over 7 ways to improve your Amazon inventory management, so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

Now, according to Statista, half of Amazon’s sales were from third-party sellers. Selling on Amazon can be very rewarding, but it is not an easy task, especially once you start selling in volume. As your orders increase, so will your inventory needs. To be successful, you must have a solid inventory management strategy.

In this video, I will cover seven tips to improve your Amazon inventory management. But first, let me explain why good inventory management is so important for Amazon sellers.

First, you want to attract shoppers and make sales, so if you constantly run out of stock, your customers will shop with your competitors. Second you want to reduce inventory costs, having too much inventory ties up your money in unsold goods and added storage costs.

You also want to reduce inventory losses, if you constantly monitor your inventory levels, you can reduce losses from mismanaged storage, receiving errors, and employee theft.

Another reason is to reduce spoilage, because if you sell perishable items, inventory management helps you track sell-by dates and avoid losses due to spoiled or unsellable goods.

Now, nearly half of small businesses don’t have a good inventory management system in place, but it’s easy to get tighter control over your Amazon inventory, and here’s how.

So tip number 1 is to use Amazon inventory management software such as Jungle Scout. Now, what is Jungle Scout inventory Manager?

This inventory manager helps Amazon FBA sellers manage their inventory levels efficiently, allowing them to make informed decisions, and mitigate risks such as overordering, underordering, long-term storage fees, and high product costs.

It also calculates your inventory needs, predicts FBA sales and profits, helps you avoid storage fees, and prevents costly stockouts, all so sellers can focus on other crucial elements of their business.

Jungle Scout’s Inventory Manager uses advanced-demand forecasting technology to help you run the back end of your Amazon FBA business.

It marks each of your products as Reorder Now, Reorder Soon, Overstock, and In Stock, then calculates the date when you should place the order, as well as the quantity. It also estimates costs and profits.

Let’s go over some of the metrics the Inventory Manager displays. It shows the status of your current inventory levels.  How many units you currently have at Amazon. How many units you currently have on the way to Amazon. And the total value of your available inventory.

It also shows the potential profitability of your available inventory. The actual sales in dollars your current inventory could earn. And the average number of sales per day for each product.

How many days it takes for your product to be manufactured, shipped, and delivered to an Amazon fulfillment center is another metric it shows just as how many days remaining until you run out of stock and the latest date to reorder your products, in order to avoid a stockout.

As you can see, the inventory Manager has a ton of functions to help any and all sellers, from those just getting started to those on their thousand product.

Now, check out these benefits if you use inventory software. Know your stock status. Are you understocked, overstocked, out of stock, or just right? Based on your lead times and sales, Inventory Manager updates you on your stock’s status for each individual product.

You can plan your inventory. Inventory Manager predicts the date you’ll need to reorder your product, helping you to prepare and budget accordingly.

It will also prevent stockouts. Running out of stock can kill your Amazon FBA product’s status. You can lose your position in Amazon’s search results, and any products your customers had in their cart will vanish. An inventory Manager lets you know far in advance when it’s time to reorder, keeping your product right where it belongs!

It will also stop you from over ordering. Overordering can result in the loss of start capital that could be earmarked for other business needs. The software estimates exactly how many units you’ll need to stay in stock. With this knowledge, you can use your extra dollars to invest in new products.

You can also reduce your costs by avoiding storage fees. Too much stock could result in costly Amazon storage fees. With an inventory manager, you can predict how much inventory you’ll need, and exactly how much to carry within Amazon’s fulfillment network.

I love the fact that you can predict future costs. Once you know how many units of inventory you’ll need to purchase, the software also tells you what it will cost. That way, you can save and budget for the upcoming purchase.

While sales analytics shows you what you’ve made and are currently making with your products, this tool gives estimates on future profits thanks to the Reorder Profit, Inventory Level Revenue, and Profit columns.

Taking into account your daily sales average, it will show you how many days you have remaining until you’re out of inventory. This prevents you from stock shortages, protecting your product’s position on Amazon’s search engines.

As you can see, using inventory management software has many benefits so I left a link for you in the description if you want to find out more.

Now, let’s move on to tip number 2 which is to know your inventory turnover rate. How fast you sell through your Amazon inventory is commonly called your inventory turnover rate. To figure out your inventory turnover rate, you need to know, on average, how fast your products sell on Amazon.

With this information, you can estimate how much stock you need to order to maintain stock levels between inventory shipments. It also helps you avoid over-buying or under-buying when you reorder stock.

As a general rule, Amazon sellers who import goods target a 3-month inventory turnover rate, meaning you expect to sell through an order of stock in 3 months.

A better way to predict your inventory turnover rate and reorder needs is to use a forecasting tool that tracks your products daily sales trends as I already mentioned before.

Tip number 3 is to understand your supply chain lead times. Your supply chain refers to inventory movement from initial sourcing to arrival in your warehouse. Lead time is the time it takes for stock to arrive once ordered.

By understanding your supply chain and lead times, you can identify the who, what, where, and when involved in sourcing, receiving and storing your Amazon inventory.

To keep your supply chain running smoothly, stay on top of your suppliers’ manufacturing and delivery schedules and have contingencies in place for worst-case scenarios.

This is particularly important if you use overseas suppliers since shipping delays can take weeks to resolve. Make sure you hold some inventory in reserve to cover unexpected delays along your supply chain if sourcing goods overseas.

Plan for seasonal sales fluctuations is tip number 4. Seasonal demand and holiday shopping affect inventory because of peaks in customer demand and extended supplier turn-times. It’s crucial to know which items will be fast-moving when, and which products are slow movers during certain times of the year.

It’s important to forecast your inventory levels at least a couple of months in advance. You’ll want to increase ordered quantities of goods in high demand during peak sales cycles and decrease your orders on products that are out of season.

It’s also important to consider suppliers’ extended turnaround times for stock ordered during peak season. This helps you place orders with time allowed for delays due to seasonal demand and other factors such as weather. Maintaining open communication with your suppliers also helps you avoid unexpected delays and others late shipment issues.

Now, before we move on with tip number 5. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Now, let’s move on with tip number 5 which is to consider dropshipping as an alternative to stocking inventory. With dropshipping, your product manufacturer maintains the inventory and ships merchandise directly to customers on your behalf when you make a sale.

Dropshipping is less risky since you don’t have to purchase stock up-front that may or may not sell. Plus with drop shipping, you don’t need to pay for storage space.

It’s critical that you choose your dropshipping suppliers wisely so you can be profitable in the end. Many charge added fees which makes your cost of goods higher than a typical retail markup.

Also, be sure your dropshipping supplier is Amazon-compliant. They must ship as promised and report inventory levels, so you don’t sell items when they’re out of stock.

Now, since dropship orders are out of sellers’ direct control, Amazon maintains a strict drop shipping policy. If it’s not closely followed, you risk having your seller account suspended.

Moving on to tip number 6, be strategic with promotions and sales. Promotions like sale prices or free shipping offers are effective was to grow your Amazon business. But a sales spike due to a hot promotion can drain your stock before your next delivery and leave you with backorders, angry customers, and a lower Amazon ranking.

One way to prevent this is to set a threshold for a set number of promoted items in your inventory. Once that number is hit, you can remove the promotion and sell remaining stock at a higher price to avoid running out completely.

Or, if you plan to sell out completely, be sure to set a threshold amount that covers four hours of promotional sales. Four hours is the key here because Amazon takes up to four hours to remove a promotion once you stop it. This gives you enough stock to cover sales that come in once you stop the promotion.

Another way to hold a successful promotion is to order a reserve of the promoted products from your supplier with a future ship date. If your promotion is successful and you need the stock shipment fast, you can contact the supplier to move up the ship date. But if the promotion lags, you can cancel or extend the ship date of the restock order to avoid being overstocked.

The last tip I want to give you is to slow down demand for your inventory when needed; A good Amazon promotion can get your products flying out of the warehouse which is a great thing. But if you’re unable to meet buyer demands with adequate supply, you risk losing customers to competitors, plus face lower rankings on Amazon.

If you notice that you’re running low on stock during a promotion or anytime, consider increasing your prices and stopping any advertising campaigns to slow down demand. These measures may slow your sales in the short term, but that’s better than hitting zero stock levels for an extended period of time.

Now, it takes time to earn a good reputation as an Amazon seller, and you can’t afford to lose your reputation or hard-earned rankings because of poor inventory management. Use the 7 tips I gave you as a guideline to keep your stock at manageable levels and stay competitive on Amazon.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In this video I want to give you 10 ways to get more Amazon reviews on your product listings, so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

Now, reviews are one of the most important metrics for businesses selling on Amazon. While reviews are vital for any online business, they are 10 times as important and 10 times harder to get on Amazon.

On Amazon, reviews have a direct impact on conversion rate, rankings and sales, which means your ability to generate reviews will make the difference between your product’s success or failure.

So this question, how to get reviews on Amazon is the most important to answer for anyone looking to launch and rank a product.

So here are 10 proven and safe methods to get reviews from your Amazon customers. These are all legitimate methods, which do not go against Amazons terms, and which you can be confident will lead to reviews that don’t get removed.

The most important thing if you want to get more reviews, is your product. All the outreach strategies in the world won’t make a difference if your product is boring and unreviewable. So if your product is low-quality, any reviews you do get are unlikely to be five-star reviews.

You need to put the work in to create and sell a product that people naturally want to review. This will make it so much easier to get results when you ask for reviews. You’ll also get more organic verified reviews, without asking.

Before you launch your product, search competitors’ reviews and look for common complaints or negative issues. Fix these complaints with your product, and you’ll see a lot of positive reviews from customers who were looking for a solution you have now provided.

Combine this with high-quality and engaging product photos to create a positive feeling for your customers well before it’s time to ask for a review, which will greatly increase your chances of success.

The second way is to use product inserts. Product inserts are one of the easiest things you can do to get more reviews on Amazon. The best thing about product inserts is that you can reach every single customer with a request for a review.

A product insert is a little card you put in your product packaging. On the card, you write a small “thank you” message, and kindly ask if the customer will leave a review.

You might want to include a QR code on your product insert with a link to the product review page, or to a landing page that then goes on to ask for a review. Try to have something nice designed. A product insert that looks and feels nice works better than a flimsy piece of paper.

Be careful to follow Amazon’s rules in regards to product inserts. While it’s unlikely Amazon will open your package and check your insert, your competitors might buy your product and report you if you’re doing anything against the rules.

Don’t specifically ask for 5-star reviews or positive reviews and don’t offer an incentive for a review such as an Amazon gift card or cash back for example.

The third way to get more reviews is to follow up with email. The one online marketing channel that’s stood the test of time is email. Emails are cheap to send, take minimal effort to set up and automate, making them a great way to communicate with your customers.

For the same reason, they’re an effective way to ask for reviews. A well-written follow-up email, sent out after someone buys your product, is sure to generate a steady increase in reviews. The only difficult part is getting your customer’s email address.

Amazon doesn’t give you access to customer emails. So the only way to contact a customer via email is to get their email before they get to Amazon.

The best way to get emails from your customers is with Facebook or Google Ads. Send people to a landing page for your product, and ask them to give you their email in exchange for a small discount.

After they click through to your Amazon product, send them an email to say “thank you” and ask for a review. If you want to capture emails to get reviews, be careful not to offer too big a discount. Discounts of more than 30-50% make the purchase ineligible for verified reviews, while extremely high discounts may not be able to leave one at all.

Method number 4 is to follow up in Messenger or ManyChat. Facebook Messenger is a powerful communication and marketing channel, when used right, making it a good way to ask for reviews.

Compared to email, Messenger is a more personal form of communication, with higher average open rates and engagement rates. That means a higher percentage of people see your messages.

You’ll need to use the same methods as with email to be able to contact people through Messenger in the first place. A Facebook Ads funnel is a good way, as is a Messenger link on your product insert.

Once a customer engages with you in Messenger, you can get back to them manually to ask for a review, or set up an automated sequence of messages with Many Chat.

The issue with Messenger is that Facebook controls the platform, and has become increasingly strict with what you can message users. Currently, you can only message users within 24 hours of their last message to you, which makes it a little more difficult to ask for reviews.

You may want to experiment with other messaging channels such as WhatsApp. You can effectively use these channels the same way as you would with Messenger, just put in an incentive for the customer to give you their contact details, and take it from there.

The fifth way is to use Facebook retargeting. Facebook ads can be a way to directly ask for product reviews. If you have a list of previous buyers, and enough information to create a custom audience on Facebook, you can run ads asking for people to leave a product review.

It may end up being a little expensive, so this method is best if you really need reviews to compete in a competitive category.

The wording in your ad should be thanking your customer for buying, asking if everything is ok with the product, and then asking the customer to leave a review on Amazon. If you create a short video for this, which will make your ad more personal, you are likely to get better results.

Tip number 6 is to follow up on Amazon. You can use Buyer-Seller Messaging on Amazon to automatically ask each person who buys from you for a review, and seller feedback.

Using a software tool, you’ve got the ability to send personalized review requests, as well as other communications such as shipping updates and thank you messages that contribute to positive reviews.

If you do this, make sure you know what Amazon allows in Buyer-Seller messages. Make sure you only ask for a review once, and don’t do any things that violate terms like putting the word important in the subject line, or including marketing material of any kind.

Now, before we move on to tip number 7. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Now, way number 7 is to use the “Request a Review” button. While Amazon Buyer-Seller Messaging is less effective than it was a few years ago, there is a new way to reach out to customers within Amazon’s system.

When you view your orders in Seller Central, you’ll see a button that says “Request a Review”. Clicking this button will trigger a standardized email, sent by Amazon, asking the customer to review your product.

You won’t be able to personalize this email at all. The text is the same in every email, except for the product details and seller name.

The best part about this is that the customer doesn’t actually need to write a review. They can simply click the stars in the email to give a rating from 1-5 stars. This leads to a lot more ratings, since customers don’t have to actually go through the effort of writing something.

There’s little reason not to use this feature for every sale, as its 100% within Amazon’s terms, and is probably the easiest way for someone to rate your product.

Unless you have very low sales volume, it’s best to use a tool that automatically hits this button for every purchase, such as Feedback Whiz or Jungle Scout.

Method number 8 is to check your seller feedback. A lot of customers give feedback about products in the seller feedback section of your seller profile. You can ask these customers to leave their feedback on the product listing as well.

You’ll want to check your seller feedback regularly to look for any cases like this. It’s important to reach out soon after the customer leaves feedback, so the experience is fresh in their mind.

If you find anything that fits as a product review, reach out to the customer, thank them, and kindly ask if they can write the same thing as an Amazon product review.

The next way is to use the Amazon Vine program. Amazon offers the Vine Program to help connect sellers with reviewers. Vine is open to Brand Registered sellers and Vendors.

How Vine works: you provide 30 units of your product, and a selection of top reviewers known as “Vine Voices” will be offered these products for free to test and review.

To enroll an Amazon product in the Vine Program, the product must have fewer than 30 reviews. You’ll also need enough inventory on hand to provide to reviewers. You can expect honest reviews, so identify and fix any issues with your product first.

The last and best way to consistently get positive reviews is to build relationships with your customers, and create a brand persona that resonates with your target audience.

This is not a quick, push-button way to get reviews. That’s why it’s the best method, because it’s not easy for your competitors to copy.

If you build a brand that your customers love, they’ll reciprocate the love by helping you out. Your loyal fans will write reviews on their own accord. Even better, they’ll be quality reviews that help you get a higher conversion rate.

The best way to consistently get reviews is by selling a quality product, exceeding your customers’ expectations in terms of quality and customer service, and putting the work into building a brand with a following. Combine this with several touch points to ask for reviews, such as a product insert and the Request a Review button.

Reviews for Amazon products are so important. They help you get more conversions, as well as making your product rank higher and attract more clicks in Amazon search.

In the old days, getting reviews on Amazon was easy. Sign up for a review service, give away some free products, and watch the reviews come in.

With each new year it’s getting harder. The best strategy for 2021 is to have multiple touch points, a strong product, and nothing that breaks Amazon’s product review guidelines.

Even better, if you combine a great product, awesome customer experience and likable brand persona, you’ll get Amazon reviews without even trying.

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In this video I would like to go over how to win the Amazon buy box, so be sure to watch all the way through so you don't miss any of the important details as we do have a lot to cover.

Now, before I hop into this video, if you are new to this channel you're going to want to subscribe as I talk about the best ways to make a full time income with Amazon FBA and always get straight to the point.

So please consider subscribing and turning on your post notifications if you like channels that don’t waste your valuable time, with that said let's get right into this video.

Now, statistics show that the Amazon buy box counts for up to 90% of Amazon sales. So millions of Amazon sellers are scrambling to win the buy box. They are looking for all possible ways to be the Amazon Buy Box winner. In their eyes, if you have no Buy Box, it means you have no sales.

Now, what is the Amazon buy box? The Amazon Buy Box is the white box on the top right-hand side of the Amazon product page that includes the most important call-to-action message: Add to cart” or “Buy Now.”

This feature makes it very easy for shoppers to add the item to their cart. This buy box is a great way to get more sales for your business. As there is only one seller who can win the buy box. The Amazon algorithm determines the winner according to various factors such as pricing, availability, fulfillment, and customer service..

The buy box is also important for Amazon advertising campaigns and other promotions. Losing the buy box means that you are losing a powerful marketing channel as it offers great product visibility and exposure.

Now, let’s go over 9 tips to help you win the buy box. Tip number 1 is to become buy box eligible. To win the Amazon buy box, you have to create a professional seller account on the Amazon platform.

There are two types of seller accounts, individual accounts and professional accounts. The former is free of subscription cost, while the latter costs $39.99 per month.  But the latter will come with many privileges. One of the privileges is the access to the buy box. With a professional seller account, you have to engage in selling for at least 90 days to be eligible.

The algorithm determines which seller wins the Buy Box for a particular product. The product you are selling must be new and available in stock. It will assess the seller’s feedback and ratings. As a seller you must emphasize your brand reputations and customer reviews.

According to past data, only sellers with a great reputation and many positive customer feedback have a chance to win the Amazon Buy Box. Trusted by online shoppers,  Amazon tends to give customers the best purchasing experiences. So it’s in Amazon’s best interest to deliver high-quality sellers to its customers.

Normally, these sellers will enjoy a lot of positive testimonials. They will offer affordable prices and a great purchasing experience to online shoppers. If you meet these basic requirements, you are eligible to become the Amazon Buy Box winner.

Tip 2 is to get more positive feedback. As we know, Amazon always puts the customer first. The customer’s’ feedback for their buying experience greatly impacts the seller’s ratings. As a result, what customers say about your sales performance and your products goes a long way in determining your success on Amazon.

Seller feedback ratings have a great impact on whether you win the Buy Box or not. Negative feedback will undermine your feedback rating and lower down your score. While positive feedback will help boost your sales and gain an advantage over the competition.

Here you will see the power of positive seller feedback. Amazon is most likely to give the Buy Box to the seller who always makes their customer happy.

Normally, the most recent feedback will have the greatest impact on your score in the Amazon algorithm. The number of seller feedback or customer reviews will also matter for the Amazon Buy Box holder. A feedback scoring over 90 percent is essential for obtaining the Amazon Buy Box share.

The third tip is to choose the right fulfillment method. The Amazon algorithm rates order fulfillment as one of the most important factors that determine the winner of the Amazon Buy Box. The best way to win the buy box is to use Amazon FBA.

Amazon FBA means Amazon is responsible for your order fulfillment. It will help product inventory, package, and shipping to the customer. On the sellers’ side, they only have to send their items to an Amazon warehouse.

This is because these products are Prime eligible. Amazon has “Perfect Seller Rating” for product shipping time and on-time delivery which means your score will be higher too. What’s more, any problems during the Amazon fulfillment will not affect your scores.

Tip number 4 is to optimize your pricing. The product price is the second most important factor considered by Amazon. As we know, the price plays a vital role in customers’ buying decisions. To get more sales, you have to create an excellent pricing strategy.

Generally, if your price is lower compared to your competitors you have a better chance to win the Buy Box. As we know, Amazon is customer-obsessed. It always favors a business that offers the lowest price with the best customer service.

The Amazon algorithm will definitely take your product price into account during the selection. If you are planning to win the Amazon Buy Box, remember to research your competitor’s price first. And then set your price and determine if you can match or beat that price.

Now, before we move on to tip number 5. As you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

Now, tip number 5 is to minimize your shipping time. On Amazon, the faster your items are shipped, the better chances of winning the Buy Box. Usually, the shipping time depends on your order fulfillment method and your product.

If your actual shipping time is longer than advertised, it will undermine your performance metrics. To note, here we are talking about the FBM sellers. As we know, Amazon FBA will take you little time to think about speedy shipping service.

Shipping time has a big impact on winning the Amazon Buy Box.  Particularly for perishable products such as birthday cakes and flowers. Usually, shipping time can be broken down to different brackets, zero to 2 working days, 3 to 7 working days, 8 to 13 working days, and 14 days or more. 

Try to offer a fast shipping service and get the product to your customer as fast as possible to win the Buy Box.

The sixth tip on our list is to offer great customer service; You need to optimize your customer service to give customers the best purchasing experience possible. It’s a given that great customer service enables you to stand out among your competitors.

The problem lies in a different definition of customer service from the Amazon perspective. It is called Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate from the Amazon algorithm.

It is a system that calculates your response rate. This rating currently has nothing to do with the Buy Box. How quickly you reply to all messages, otherwise known as the customer response time, is very important to Amazon.

To gain the Buy Box, remember to keep your response time within 12 hours, or you will lose the chance to be the winner. If your late response rate exceeds 10%, you definitely won’t win the Buy Box even if you offer FBA and a relatively lower price.

Make sure you reply to every message. If you think that there is no need to respond, mark it as ‘no response needed’ to excludes the message from the metric calculation.

On the whole, better customer service will increase your conversion rate and boost your sales. This will entice them to leave a positive feedback. All this will increase your rankings as well.

Moving on to tip number 7 which is to keep your inventory stocked. Stock availability can be easily neglected, but it is another factor that may impact your efforts to win the Amazon Buy Box.

Amazon favors sellers that always strive to maintain a minimal inventory threshold. It would be impossible for Amazon to offer a direct link to a product that is running out of stock because that threatens the customer experience.

Remember to keep your stock consistent for your Buy Box promotions. FBA sellers get updated info about their inventory level. They can use multiple shipping options to increase the chance of being the buy box winner.

This process gives Amazon sellers higher control of the number of their stocked items. You can be updated on your inventory level at any time and be able to keep your products stocked to a higher threshold. This policy will increase your rankings and the chance to win the buy box.

Now, tip number 8 is to reduce the cancellation & refund rate. The cancellation rate is the number of orders canceled before being shipped by the seller. How often a seller cancels an order will impact his chances to get the product on the Buy Box.

The best situation for a potential buy box winner is to have 0% cancellation rate. The standard is less than 2.5% in the last 90 days. Most of the time, sellers will cancel their customer’s order due to a low inventory level.

What about the refund rate? This is the number of orders refunded after being shipped. Check your products, find possible causes, and address them quickly. If there isn’t an easy way to do this, you should consider removing it from your product listings.

Both of these two factors greatly affect your ranking. Try to reduce these to stand a higher chance of being the Buy Box winner.

The last tip is to keep the order defect rate as low as possible. The combination of the negative feedback rate, the A to Z Guarantee Claim Rate, and the Service Chargeback Rate defines the order defect rate.

These three things are areas that you have to avoid as much as possible. They will impact your chance to win the buy box. They measure how well you take care of the buyer after the order is placed, and how the shopper feels at the end of the day.

The percentage over the last 90 days is taken into account to calculate your order defect rate. The best situation is to maintain it at 0%, the standard to win the Buy Box is less than 1%.

If you find your return rate is high, you may change to a freight forwarder to ship your item. If it is the defect rate that is high, you may consider a different supplier or manufacturer. Make sure to offer the best customer experience to reduce negative feedback.

By now you should have a good idea how to win the Amazon Buy Box. It is there for you to win. If you want to get the most out of Amazon, always remember to optimize for the buy box.

Now, a lot of Amazon sellers don’t know about their seller rating. Many aren’t aware of the exact details that go into it, while many more don’t even realize it exists.

If this is you, you’re missing an important part of maximizing your success on Amazon. A great seller rating shows Amazon that you’re a store worthy of their platform, and can only be beneficial for you in the future.

Regardless of any advantages you get from Amazon, scoring high on your seller rating means you’re doing everything you can to provide the best experience for your customers, which is obviously a priority when you run a business.

A low seller rating lets you know you’ve got some work to do to improve your business and boost customer satisfaction. So let me explain just what this system is, and how you can keep your rating as high as possible.

First, a distinction should be made between seller rating and your seller feedback rating. Your overall seller feedback rating is the star rating out of five you see on your public seller profile. However, your actual Amazon seller rating is an internal metric, scored out of 100.

The rating assesses your performance, from a merchant’s point of view. In particular, how good your performance is in Amazon’s eyes.

Amazon is generally less concerned with whether you’re moving a lot of product and making a ton of money, compared to how satisfied your customers are with each order. This is what’s more important from their point of view.

The specific points Amazon rates a seller on are, shipping time, does the order arrive in the time quoted on your listing? Order cancellations, points are lost for orders placed and later cancelled. They also rate on customer response time, the time a seller takes to respond to customer inquiries.

Then you have the negative feedback rate, excessive negative seller feedback will result in lost points. Chargebacks is another one, when customers initiating chargebacks through their credit card company and A to Z claims, when customers are initiating refunds based on Amazon’s A to Z guarantee.

All these points are taken into account, with varying levels of importance. A to Z claims for example, carry more weight, and incurring a lot of these will drop your rating very quick. You can also earn bonus points if your customer service is found to exceed expectations.

This criteria is judged over all orders over the last 365 days. That means you won’t have problems from a long time ago hanging over your head forever. Scores are also weighted more heavily in favor of recent orders.

So if your performance is showing an upward trend, this will be even better for your seller rating. While the inverse applies if your performance is getting worse.

At the end of the day, your scores are tallied up and a rating out of 100 is given with 100 being the best and 0 the worst. The final rating will be expressed either as Excellent, Very Good, Good or Fair.

Now, is your seller rating important? Amazon’s material on the internal seller rating has been removed from seller central, and in 2015 they abruptly removed it from the seller dashboard. So whether this is still a relevant metric is up in the air, possibly not.

True or not, the important part is not the rating itself, but what the rating represents. A great seller rating shows Amazon that you’re bringing a lot of value to their platform, which will put you in higher standing with them. While it shows you that you’re doing a great job providing top-tier service to your customers.

We do know that Amazon tracks Account Health, which takes into account a lot of the same things that the old seller rating did. Account Health is important for many reasons, such as giving you a larger inventory allowance, as well as influencing your search rankings.

The material seller rating might not be around anymore, but customer satisfaction is still important. You want to maintain a focus on making every customer experience a memorable one.

Amazon gives their own recommendations on how to avoid negative feedback from customers. Some of the key points from their advice is to keep inventory levels sufficient,so make sure you don’t run out of stock.

Have a system in place to make sure deliveries are made on time, but you don’t have to worry about this if you’re selling with Amazon FBA.

Make sure your listings are clear and accurate, with high-quality images and informative text. Make it easy for buyers to contact you by showing the Amazon customer support phone number and other relevant contact details on your profile.And give friendly and helpful service to every customer.

Essentially, just keep a professional attitude with your Amazon business, and put your customers first. Make good use of buyer-seller messages in order to provide customer service and respond to inquiries.

For additional customer service points, it may help you to drive external traffic and capture contact details in channels like email or Messenger. This allows you to give an even more personal customer experience, and increase the number of glowing feedback ratings.

Take these points on board, and it should cover everything the seller rating covers. You’ll also give yourself the best chance of maintaining a high customer feedback rating, which will help your store’s appearance in the eyes of potential customers in the future.

There are many more things that Amazon rates a seller on, most of which can be found on your seller dashboard. You’ll want to take care to keep these metrics high, both to improve your standing with Amazon and to send customers away with a smile.

These metrics include perfect order percentage,order defect rate, pre-fulfillment cancellation rate, late shipment rate, refund rate, valid tracking rate, customer service dissatisfaction rate, response times under 24 hours, late responses, average response time, return dissatisfaction rate, negative feedback rate and feedback rating.

Everything in this list is important, and a poor rating on any metric should be taken seriously. If nothing is done about it, you may find your seller account under scrutiny by Amazon’s performance team. At the very least, chances are your customers aren’t as happy as they could be.

Now, what about Amazon storefront displaying seller feedback. Seller feedback is what many people think of when they hear about their Amazon seller rating. And truth be told, seller feedback covers much of the same ground.

Both seller rating and seller feedback give you an idea of whether the customer experience you’re providing is good or bad. The difference is, one is Amazon’s internal diagnosis, while the other is direct from the customer themselves.

Since your seller feedback rating is visible to Amazon customers, this metric would probably be considered more important. A great feedback rating signals to potential customers that they are likely to have a good experience when buying from you.

Your feedback rating also goes towards helping you win the buy box, and making sure you’re eligible to test new features being introduced by Amazon.

That’s why it’s vital that you take Amazon’s advice on avoiding negative feedback seriously. It could be the difference between a sale or another bouncing visitor. Bad feedback also tends to translate into negative product reviews.

Now, as you can see, there are a lot of steps involved in building an Amazon business. And I wouldn't recommend piecing together everything by simply watching videos on YouTube. This is why I suggest investing your time in a great free training that can guide you through this process.

I recommend this training because this is the best training on the market and one that I have personally gone through. They walk you through every aspect of what it takes to start, grow and scale your Amazon business.

This training will build off of what I talk about inside my videos so I left a link for you in the description and if you're serious about selling on Amazon I encourage you to check it out!

So the Amazon internal seller rating might not be a thing anymore, but that doesn’t mean you should forget about the metric. Taking the six points from the seller rating on board every day ensures you’re doing all you can to make every customer happy.

Customers are the heart of any business. Get a lot of them, give them a great experience and your business is going to succeed.
