In today's episode, you'll hear our strategies and the tools we use for meeting this goal of selling our inventory as quickly and consistently as possible – and for the highest profits! There are strategies we use while sourcing, and other strategies we use after our inventory is live on Amazon, and we'll share them both with you today!

Perhaps you came to the idea of selling on Amazon as a quick way to make some extra money, and you're wondering if any of it is true. Perhaps you've been selling on Amazon for a few months or a year, and you're yet to rake in the big bucks that you were expecting. Maybe you're asking the question so many Amazon sellers (or prospective sellers) ask: Is selling on Amazon a get-rich-quick scheme? What am I missing? On today's episode we'll cover the answer to that question. Quick summary: no, Amazon FBA isn't a way to get rich quick, but it can be a way to get rich slowly.

We're all in the business of selling on Amazon in order to make money, right? It only seems logical that one of the most important questions in the early days of your FBA business is “When do I start paying myself from my business? And how much should I pay myself?” On today's episode we'll get into the details of how to answer this question for yourself – how to benefit financially from your hard work but also have enough money to reinvest and grow your business. We also celebrate our 5th poddiversary this week!! Five years of podcasting at The Full-Time FBA Show!

Making assumptions can really cost your FBA business time and money. Typically assumptions come from incomplete information – sometimes those assumptions can turn out to be correct, but all too often they can be incorrect and we end up losing out big time. On today's episode we're going to cover several common incorrect assumptions that happen in the course of running an Amazon FBA business and how you can avoid those assumptions and their profit-stealing effects.

In today's episode we're following up on one of the questions posed in last week's episode: Are you reinventing the wheel when you should be following smooth, clear systems and processes? The best way not to waste time in this situation is to create standard operating procedures for your business – also known as SOPs. We're diving into why you should create SOPs for your business, a specific example of an SOP from our Full-Time FBA blog, and how using SOPs can help you outsource and scale your FBA business even faster than it is growing now. Be sure and listen all the way to the end of the episode for an awesome SOP freebie!

For this episode of Under The Hood, Mike gives advice to Lisa Guenst–dental hygienist and owner of ToothShower, an innovative dental water flosser–on how to boost sales and get a business ready for selling.   Over two decades of working as a dental hygienist, Lisa Guenst noticed how a lot of patients she encountered hated using string floss.    However, part of her profession is advocating for oral health, so as an alternative to help prevent gum disease, she always suggested using a water flosser instead.   While she did see significant improvement in her patients, they did complain that most water flossers were cumbersome and quite messy to use.   This was the impetus behind Lisa creating ToothShower, a water flosser that is powered by your own shower – no need for batteries or for plugging into an outlet.   After launching a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, the company and its flagship product (now with an impressive range of accessories) have become quite the lucrative business.   Pre-Covid, ToothShower had been selling exclusively on its website. It wasn't until the pandemic that ToothShower transitioned to being an Amazon business.    Thus, Lisa sought our help on how to navigate the unique challenges that come with being an FBA business, especially for a product that's as disruptive as ToothShower.   From refining your Amazon listing to optimizing SEO, I guide Lisa in increasing her sales and getting her business ready for selling when she decides to exit down the line.   That's it for this week's podcast.

There has probably never been a better time to sell a quality Private label or customer product business. The meteoric rise of Amazon aggregators since about 2020 has meant a jump in the competition for buyers of Amazon-based businesses. What does this mean? Well, an Amazon business with the same exact profit might be worth twice now what is was worth 2 years ago. However, this buying frenzy can lead to private label business owners making a series of mistakes when it comes to selling their businesses. In the normal course of M & A (mergers and acquisitions), both the seller and buyer of the business understand the process. But in the e-commerce space, private label business owners with no understanding of mergers often sit across from educated buyers with Stanford business degrees. There is a knowledge gap that is potentially dangerous for the business owners. An unwise business seller can end up exaggerating that danger to themselves. That could show up in relation to the business itself, commonly in dodgy financial data, exaggerated revenue claims, faking reviews or black hat operating tactics. It could also be around the deal itself. Taking renegotiation personally, allowing a deal structure that is not right for you or allowing the buyers to force exclusivity on you are some classic errors.   Listen to today's podcast to find out what these errors are - and how to avoid them. What you'll learn Be clear and understand it's all about the buyer getting the best possible deal - it's business! Lowball offers after Due diligence checking LOI that looks good and giving buyer exclusivity Looking into Unreasonable stability fund Understanding Buyers That Are Not Like This Be honest about why you're selling Letting go of your staff - but not bringing it up People working for them not very professional in an interview   Resources mentioned Aepic Sellers

How do you transform your FBA brand from a side hustle that simply helps you get by, into a powerhouse business designed to last?  Ben Donovan has discovered the secrets to answering this important question. Ben is a 7-figure Amazon FBA seller and the founder of Brand Builder University, an educational resource that teaches entrepreneurs how to launch profitable Amazon FBA brands. Ben gives us the lowdown on why an increasing number of FBA entrepreneurs are looking to sell their businesses. He also explains why building your business with a mindset to sell will set you up for greater success down the line.  Ben sells on 9 different Amazon marketplaces across North America and Europe. He explains how external influences like the pandemic and Brexit have affected European FBA businesses, as well as the benefits of selling in multiple marketplaces. According to Ben, “If you're selling in the US, you could launch in Canada, or in the UK on your very next inventory order. It's super easy and it could add 20 or 30% to your sales, if not more, and you don't have to find a new product, supply chain, or supplier.” Ben also walks us through how to set up an effective exit planning strategy and explains why he's planning on shifting away from building online businesses, into buying them.  If you'd like to take a deeper dive into Ben's extensive FBA knowledge, check out his new course, The FBA Freedom Challenge, in the links below.

Richard is the Founder and CEO of 101 Commerce, an ecommerce company that aims to become the next generation retailer by acquiring businesses that own "microbrands" primarily sold via FBA.
