Amazon just turned off a bunch of the the big rebate players in the space rebate key They just announced will no longer have access to their API meaning Amazon is finally making a public crackdown on rebates.I think it's been a long time coming, right?I mean it's surprising that Rebates have been so public and so in your face for so long Literally people are using rebates to manipulate the entire platform and Amazon has basically turned a blind eye to it, but now they finally come out and said know guys if you're doing rebates in a big way if you're using our API to to run rebates, We're not going to have it.So I think this is, you know a good move for Amazon, because it finally says Amazon's gonna level the playing field and only support real business for real transaction. Sean, what do you think?Yeah, I think you're 100% right there, buddy. You know, when rebate launches, or something like that comes out, we often kinda like whisper around. And then we realize, like, you know, what, if everyone knew about this, it's prevalent going to work anymore.So tactics are different, You know, than strategy. Strategy for me is more of a long term plan.Leaning on more of the fundamentals and your business versus trying to, you know, move a mountain by leveraging some crazy tactic that someone come up with. Not to say that they're not effective. Because you and I both used rebates and launched several products.But it's just one of those things that chances are, if it feels just a little bit dirty, it probably is an Amazon smarter than we give them credit for it.So they're gonna put the brakes on something like this pretty quick, and you know, this is just another reason set that we need to stay on top of our industry and find out what is what's working right now Because the tactics that work yesterday, last year, last month may or may not work tomorrow or next week.In fact, you know, if we go way back to late 2013, early 14, when we started on Amazon, we don't use any of those same tactics that we write at that point in time because then, it was a totally different game.It was a totally different landscape, a totally different culture.Now, Amazon and selling on Amazon as a third party seller is more more, I want to call it.Um, technical is the term I'm looking for.You have to be technical but at the same time safe, we have to stay focused on the fundamentals of building a real business. And this is just another one of those reasons Why we need to stay keep our finger on the pulse and figure out what's working in our industry.And more importantly, what could get you slapped by Amazon, right?Exactly, yeah. Basically Amazon just put everyone on notice.Rebates are toxic, right and, you know, I think it's actually a good move for a lot of sellers because people don't realize how smart an advanced Amazon is.They can see all those transactions. They can they know that the

Listen to this interview with  Amanda Wittenborn as she shares how to sell products on Amazon and kill it! I used to think that selling products on platforms like Amazon was all about competing with others on price. Amanda has taught me that I was wrong.  She started out selling printables, but she was struggling to really grow her business. So she began selling invitations on Amazon that she had created and printed, and she has now grown this into a 7-figure business. I can't wait for you to hear Amanda's story of how she went from struggling blogger to finding what worked for her. But first... I'm excited to announce that my husband, business partner, and tech genius, David, and I have started our first blogger coaching group. I've been mentioning this for a few weeks and I am so excited that it's off the ground! This is a 6-week program that help online entrepreneurs understand all the things they need to know as they start to build their blogs into a profitable businesses.  We're talking about all the tech stuff for sure, but we're also covering how to create content, how to find your audience, what products to sell, how to monetize, and how to understand SEO.  We also talk about social media platforms, email marketing, and all the other pieces of building an online business you need to know today.  There are live Q&A's, teaching sessions, a private Facebook group, and we are there with you every step of the way.  If you're ready to get your business off the ground, email me at jillian@ milotree.com so I can reserve your spot for our next session starting in late May. Creating Products Fit for Amazon One of the first lessons Amanda had to learn was that not all products are going to work on Amazon. She had to figure out the types of products that would work and focus on creating those.  Prior to Amazon, Amanda created personalized invitations, with all the pertinent information already on them. She sold files that a customer could print, or a customer could purchase pre-printed items.  Once she began selling on Amazon, she switched to creating fill-in invitations. Amanda actually doubted that anybody would want invitations they had to fill in manually, but people loved them.  When someone purchases invitations from Amanda, they can also purchase Thank You cards, stickers, and water bottle wrappers, and all of these items match the theme of the invitations.  Will Your Business Work on Amazon? There are 2 sides to Amazon that are possibilities for selling your products. There is the regular Amazon, where most of us shop on a regular basis. And then there is Handmade by Amazon, which is like the Amazon version of Etsy.  So, how do you know if your business will work on Amazon? Amanda gave us a tip to figure out which Amazon platform you need to be on: If your product is quick to create and you can keep a lot in stock, use the regular Amazon platform. If you create personalized products that require time to complete, you may want to sell your product on Handmade by Amazon.  Isn't Amazon Too Competitive to Sell On? Oh my goodness, I don't know about you guys/gals, but when I think about selling on Amazon, I picture a young dude trying to beat the Amazon algorithm to show up in the Buy Box.  And actually, Amanda says that is truthfully how the system works... unless you have a completely unique product.  If you come in with something unlike anything else that's on the platform, you won't be fighting for the Buy Box because there isn't a comparable item to compete. Yes, there are other invitations on the platform. However, the competition isn't the same as if you have people ordering generic items from China to sell.  Amanda takes advantage of sponsored ads and keyword placement to get her products in front of more eyeballs, but the cut-throat competition just isn't a thing when you have a unique product.  Hitting Income Goals on Amazon Amanda's first year selling on Amazon resulted in $250K in sales. So, the next year she set a goal to double it.  And that following year, she did $650K in sales. (Wow, right?!) Her third year, she decided to go for a million in sales. I'm sure it's no surprise that she hit that goal, too.  And Amanda says that it didn't take long at all to hit the $20K sales mark. She recommends being prolific in your creation and testing things along the way. When something works, she adds more like it.  Merchant Fulfilled vs. Amazon Fulfilled For the first 6 months of her business, Amanda printed all the invitations she sold and shipped then to her customers herself. This is known as “merchant fulfilled, "meaning the seller is the one fulfilling the orders. At first, it was easy to do. With 2-3 sales per week, Amanda had no trouble keeping up with fulfilling the orders. But when it got to be 10-15 sales per week, and then continued growing from there, it became very difficult to keep up.  Keep in mind, she had to do all the printing, cutting, packaging and shipping. And her orders were ramping up quickly. It was then that she began having her invitations preprinted and she started building up stock. She had 40 designs, so she had 10 packs of each printed. She paid $750 for that first order and she was terrified at the outlay. What if they didn't sell?  But they did sell, and because Amanda switched to Amazon Fulfillment, she no longer had to worry about the packaging and the shipping. Amazon held her stock and when orders came through, Amazon packaged them up and shipped them. The other amazing thing about using Fulfilled by Amazon is that your customers can take advantage of the 2-day Prime shipping.  Selling on Etsy vs. Amazon and Pricing Products Amanda no longer has her Etsy shop since she started using Fulfilled by Amazon, simply because of all the extra work Etsy requires. Amanda also shared with me that she is not the cheapest price for her product on Amazon, but she sees that as a good thing. Sometimes, as entrepreneurs, we think we have to price our products super low so people will buy.  That's wrong thinking, according to Amanda. If you price too low, people will think your products are cheap and will expect everything you sell to be priced low. The lower your prices, the more complaints you get. Amanda found that pricing her products in a higher price range led to better sales; not as many sales but more income. Whereas another seller might have to sell 100 packs of invitations to make a certain amount, Amanda only has to sell 50 packs to make the same amount.  Learning to Sell on Amazon Just like any platform, Amazon has a learning curve when it comes to using the platform for selling your own products. But unlike most other platforms, Amazon provides all of the education for anyone wanting to use the platform to sell. Amanda found everything she needed right there on Amazon. Their help center provides videos and articles for every step of the process.  Anything you need to know, Amazon provides the answer. If you don't see your issue addressed, you can call them and get help.  Buying Ads on Amazon Amanda mentioned that she purchases ads on Amazon, so I asked her to dive into a bit more of what that means and how it works.  Amazon has a sponsored ad campaign system that allows you to set up ad campaigns for your products. You can set the daily amount you want to spend and you can also bid for your products.  For example, Amanda may have a pirate-themed invitation. She can bid $0.20 for her product to show up when someone searches for a “pirate invitation” on Amazon.  Amanda no longer runs her own ad campaigns on Amazon. She recently hired a third-party agency to manage them for her.  The Flexibility of Owning Your Own Business One of the great things about Amanda's business is how flexible it is. She can be there for her kids after school, on school holidays, and when they are sick. And she has grown a team of women who work for her who also appreciate that same flexibility.  Amanda reaches out to stay-at-home moms she knows when she needs to hire something out because their lifestyle matches hers. She likes knowing that the women who work for her can be there for their families. And because of the growth of the business, Amanda can take a lot of time off over her kids' school holidays to be with them without worrying about the business suffering. She and the other women work around 20 hours per week and for Amanda, that feels just right. I think that's the part I love the most about Amanda's story; she set a goal to reach a certain lifestyle, and she not only accomplished it for herself, but she also provides the same opportunity for other women who want the same thing.  And I want you to listen in because Amanda shared a lot about how her blog's lack of success is what drove her to start selling on Amazon.  She is a perfect example of what I always tell clients and bloggers—if you have an idea, test it.  If you want to see Amanda's products, you can go right to Amazon and see all the amazing things she offers.   And if you would like to chat with her about any questions you have, she'd love to hear from you.

Every person who takes on the challenge of building their own business through Amazon’s Private Label options dreams of hitting it big with real product success from the start. Today’s episode highlights a guy who did just that. Scott Thomas and his partner stepped out of the ecommerce realm to try their hand at Amazon simply because the Amazon Sales platform is such a powerful machine for drawing in customers and closing sales. Even with their experience in Ecommerce they were shocked at how quickly their products took off. Hear the whole story on this episode. The importance of quality checking your first order, yourself. Scott and his partner put in their first order from a supplier in China and received it within a few months rather than having it sent directly to Amazon. They are very glad they did because there were a number of things wrong with the order. If it had reached Amazon as it was shipped things would have gone very wrong. Scott recommends that every Amazon Seller check their first couple of orders themselves to make sure everything is dialed in and the supplier knows exactly what to do every time. Hear more of Scott’s advice on the Amazing Seller. A novel way of getting the first 20 sales of his product and the impact it had. Scott Thomas and his partner have gone through Scott Voelker’s material and knew they could get sales and reviews by offering discounts on their product. But they had a hunch that if they had full price sales within the first few days of their product being listed, they’d bounce higher in the rankings almost immediately. So they explained what they were doing to 20 close friends and asked them to purchase their product at full price to help them get things rolling. Those 20 sales came in within a few days and things happened exactly as they suspected. Find out more about how Scott combined that tactic with Amazon PPC in this episode. How should you go about determining modifications to make to your Private Label products to make them unique and more appealing to buyers? Scott Thomas discovered that one of the best ways to find out what consumers want is to spend time reading posts in the forums where your ideal customers hang out. They often talk about specific products and their gripes and gratitude surrounding those products. From there a ton of ideas come up that enable Scott to make the modifications that people buying their products actually want. That’s just one of Scott’s tactics and you can hear the rest by listening to this episode. Get on board Scott Voelker’s free live workshop to learn how to do Amazon Sales. If you’ve never attended one of Scott’s free live workshops to learn the basics of how he sells products on Amazon, you’re missing out. Scott walks through is product selection and launch process step by step so you know exactly what to do. And as a bonus, he answers questions at the end of every workshop session.
