You know, what do you see going on in the Amazon space right now? And some of the advice and strategies that you would recommend to establish sellers right now?Kevin 00:00:23  Yeah, that's a tough one because some of them are going to need to pivot, and it's going to be a little bit of a hard pivot because in the past on Amazon, there's a lot of people that built successful businesses and even exited successful businesses just basically finding opportunities. Sticking a name on it, you know, on a label on it and selling it, then selling that to an aggregator. But that's those days are pretty much over. I'm not going to say it doesn't happen. It could still happen here and there. And then there's a lot of people, as you know, that may have started with a small amount of money, and that's way more difficult now.Kevin 00:00:52  Not that you can't do it, but, you know, I always say, I always hear stories that people say, yeah, I started with 500 bucks and now I got an eight figure business. And I always say, RBS, you might have started with $500. That may be true. But two weeks later, your uncle gave you ten grand. Or somebody. You got a credit card or you did something. There's just no way it did. That just flat out does not happen. from 500. There was something else along the way. It might not be the money out of your pocket, but there's something else along the way in those days are much more difficult now. And as Amazon's you know Amazon's everything is more towards rewarding brands. You know the brand registry the brand analytics the all the different you know the advertising thing. Everything is there trying to reward those brands. It's because they're trying to clean it up as well. They don't want just this hodgepodge, flea market on there. They want, you know, people.Kevin 00:01:41  They're coming for brands. And a lot of people think they're a brand and they're really not. I say that if you don't have at least 3000 searches a month on your brand name on Amazon, on Amazon, because Amazon is so big, you're not a brand. If people are not looking for you, buy that that brand name and typing that in and you can see it in brand analytics and it's got like 3000 searches a month or more, then you're actually not a brand. You're just a product. And so that's where a lot of people get confused. And a brand is not a logo. A brand is not a name. That's part of it. But a brand is what emotion is a feeling. It's an evolution of something that people feel identity towards this or a passion towards this, or it represents something that they believe in or that they feel. And that's where a lot of big sellers are making mistakes. you know, you see all these, these, Chinese brands on Amazon, that strange brand names like Z, X, T, Y, or whatever can even pronounce a damn thing, right? That's not a brand.Kevin 00:02:37  I mean, they're doing that because it's easy to get a trademark on that. They can. Those things can fly through, the trademark process really easy so they can get the brand registry and all that. But those aren't aren't really brand names. so I think you need to switch more toward brand and you need to switch to more towards they need to they need to own their customer lists. you know, on Amazon, you don't get that data anymore. You used to be able to download that data. And so if you're selling, FBA, FBA on Amazon, you don't get that data. If you're doing FBM, you can still get it. And there used to be a loophole like with tax jar that got, I think just recently got shut down. A lot of privacy issues there. But you need to figure out ways to actually get that data and whether that's switching over, you know, if you're selling on Shopify or WooCommerce, start using Amazon Prime. the new, ship with Prime, whatever it's called Shopify shipping.Josh 00:03:25  Shop with Prime. Yeah.Kevin 00:03:27  Yeah. Where the Amazon will fulfill it for you off your, Shopify store. So you get that extra customer service level. Plus you get the customer data, plus anything you're selling on Amazon. It's just a huge market. You've got to figure out ways to try to get them into your ecosystem with, creative inserts and creative marketing stuff. I mean, like, one of the things that we do with one of my brands, for example, I have a pet brand of dog treats, and whenever someone buys these dog treats off of Amazon, you know, they spend 30 bucks to buy these dog treats. We will have a really cool. It's not just like a business card, but like something that really gets their attention. into the in the package and it says, hey, get a sample of all of our treats and we'll do a zero plus free plus shipping offer. So it's like if we have, for example, if we're selling bully sti...

We all know the detrimental effects of all or nothing thinking when it comes to health and fitness, so why do we think that way when it comes to our businesses? All or nothing typically ends up being nothing, so if you're starting an online business, it's paramount to take messy action and overcome perfectionism. Expecting perfection from yourself will only lead to burn out and abandonment. By taking immediate action rather than waiting for the perfect moment, you will always find yourself closer to your goals. Progress is always better than perfection.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Dave dives into the huge business of FilterBuy, one of the largest e-commerce companies on Amazon that actually does NOT use FBA. FilterBuy specializes in selling HVAC filters and is founded by David Heacock, a good friend of mine from way back in the day. We explore the company's impressive growth, why David chose to manufacture from the US and why logistics are the main business that David is in. With that being said, what business are we all in?  Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Amazon makes it really hard for sellers to avoid using FBA.  FBA sellers get faster shipping times, better customer service and a nice badge that says "Prime Delivery" on your listing.  With all of these things stacked against FBM Sellers, how do you succeed?  To answer that question, we tell you about how Filterbuy became the biggest FBM seller on Amazon based on my interview with CEO and founder, David Heacock. The Big Takeaway  FilterBuy is the largest seller on Amazon that does not use FBA. David Heacock kind of foresaw how important American manufacturing would be and was one of the first to adopt the strategy. The company's success is more than just product cost. David credits it mostly to efficient logistics.   Manufacturing in America allows for reduced freight costs and just-in-time inventory unlike manufacturing in China.  Pre-orders or Kickstarter launches are actually a viable strategy that most sellers sleep on. There's significant cash flow opportunities on Kickstarter and you also get to order the exact amount of opportunity for those pre-orders, which is a great strategy for the pre-launch period of new products. Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to FilterBuy and Its Success 05:52 - David Heacock's Vision and Strategy 12:27 - The Importance of Logistics and Manufacturing in America 20:16 - Long-Term Thinking in Business 24:08 - Conclusion and Key Takeaways David, I apologize that we weren't able to get your actual interview up but we were really grateful for the opportunity to interview you nonetheless.  If you're interested and want to follow David Heacock on social media, you can find him at his LinkedIn.

In this episode, Jill discusses the challenges of follower and customer engagement in the online space, exploring the reasons behind low engagement rates.

Jill provides practical strategies for improving engagement, including gamification, creating a trusting environment, and the necessity of ongoing communication with clients.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Prior to XSET, Greg served as Co-Owner and the first President of FaZe Clan, where his strategic vision and leadership propelled the company from $0 to an impressive $36 million in annual revenue in 2 years, culminating in a personal financial exit at the peak valuation of FaZe Clan at $400m in 2020. His journey began by revolutionizing the e-commerce landscape with the founding of Karmaloop, a venture he nurtured from a fledgling startup into a streetwear retail titan, amassing over $1 billion in lifetime revenue under his tenure as CEO. Working with Pharrell Williams (Karmaloop Creative Director) and launching 2 other sub-sites, the Kazbah & PLNDR, which each did over $30M annually at their peak and the first YouTube channel launched by a retailer, KarmaloopTV. Karmaloop is 24 years old and still operating. Passionate about bridging socioeconomic gaps, Selkoe had a self-funded non-profit for 5 years called the FBA, run by Malia Lazu (former head of the Harry Belafonte Family Foundation) focused on diminishing the digital divide and fostering entrepreneurship in underserved communities. He is now launching the XSET Foundation, a new 501c3 organization where Selkoe aims to leverage the influential power of gaming and lifestyle to create inclusive opportunities and empower communities, integrating his business acumen with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility. A Harvard University M.P.P. graduate and 2016 Y Combinator alum, Selkoe has been honored as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012, recognized as one of Goldman Sachs' 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs, and included in the Summit Series Top 35 Entrepreneurs under 35 with an invitation to the White House. He lives in Boston with his wife, Dina (a Harvard-trained attorney and CLO of XSET), and his 2 young children.

Training, coaching, and teaching are all very different skillsets that you'll have to learn as you run your online fitness business. In this episode, Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences if you're looking to enhance your business models. Online coaching focuses on behavior change and transformation, while virtual training is more about providing workout plans and accountability, and teaching is the least customized of the three but requires communication and broadcasting skills. Even if you don't have the most experience with any of these skillsets, the good news is that each one of them is something you can learn and perfect through time and repetition.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
