Chapter 1: What is the Amazon FBA System?

Now, you’re probably wondering what in the world Amazon FBA is. You probably know that it’s the acronym for “Fulfillment by Amazon.” But what does that mean? What’s so special about this system? Why are so many turning towards it and using it as the best reselling platform in the online world? Well, this chapter will give you an overview of the system, and it’ll show you what’s special about it, along with a description of what it exactly does. By the end of this, you’ll have a general understanding of what Amazon FBA is.

What is It?

You’ve noticed this service before when you’ve used amazon. If you’ve ordered products off Amazon, you’ve even gotten your items through it. Many times, people will see this when they’re buying things using Amazon Prime, but you might not know what it means. What Amazon FBA means is that Amazon takes the liberty of fulfilling the order for the seller, instead of the seller taking care of that logistic.

What this means for the seller is this: amazon FBA will take care of the nitty gritty. The shipping, overhead of keeping products there, and even the shipping costs are taken care of by Amazon. Many sellers make the mistake of not using this service, so they end up with a slew of products in their home. The shipping costs also suffer with this, and because of it sellers who don’t use Amazon FBA end up losing profit instead of gaining. Amazon FBA takes that out, and instead, you will allow Amazon to do the work for you. It’ll allow Amazon to take care of the stuff that you don’t want to do, so you can continue to find products and sell them online. With this, you’ll be able to focus on selling instead of everything else that might end up coming into play.

The general description of the service is as follows: you send the product to the warehouse nearest you. There are warehouses all over, and when you send it there, Amazon takes care of storing it. When a product is ordered, Amazon picks it, ships it, and deals with the customer service aspects of the business. All you have to do is list and sell the products, and once that happens Amazon takes care of it. It’s an easier way to sell things, and you’ll notice that with fewer details to take care of, you can generate more profit out of this service.

The Benefits of It

There are benefits to using amazon FBA over other services. This service is much more efficient, and it’ll allow you to do the other aspects of the business that you enjoy. Some of the benefits are as follows:

You don’t have to Handle Everything: Amazon takes care of the packing, storing, picking, and shipping. Imagine if you had all those items in your home. It would drive you crazy, but Amazon FBA helps prevent that problem from getting out of hand. They handle the logistics of it, so you can focus on selling products.

More Reach: many people noticed an increase in their reach when they used Amazon FBA. Amazon rivals with EBay as one of the largest online retailers out there, and it’ll allow you to reach more people with this service. About 73% of sellers saw an increase as soon as they switched over to Amazon FBA. Amazon FBA will allow you to reach more as well, due to the fact that your sales will show up first when people look for items. Having the “fulfillment by Amazon” option allows others to see the wares you have, and you’ll generate more sales through the use of this service.

Makes Customer Service a Thing of the Past: Have you ever had to deal with a customer that made you want to pull your hair out? Sometimes the worst customers can come across your store, and it can be a big issue with many people. You won’t have to spend all that time on them anymore, for Amazon will take care of that aspect of the business. You don’t have to deal with the crazy customers, and instead you can focus on selling your own products and generating more income.

Cheaper: It is cheaper. Think of all the space you’re taking up when you’re selling things from your home. Many look into a storage space for their resale products, but that comes with a monthly price, and you would have to go there to grab things every single day. It can add up, and you are actually paying more in the long run. You don’t have to be in the red when you’re selling online. Instead, you can let Amazon do the work. They only take a small cut out of the sale, but it’s still less than if you needed to take care of everything. Plus, you get the option of Amazon Prime on your products as well with this service. It’s great for anyone, and you’ll come out on top.

Amazon FBA is a wonderful service that allows you to sell things online without the headache that most online selling gives you. It takes the problems out of it, and at the end of it, you’ll be able to have an easier time selling what you want to sell.

Chapter 2: A Step-By-Step Guide to the Amazon FBA System

It’s time to learn about how to sell using Amazon FBA. It’s simple to do, and this chapter will give you the exact steps needed in order to generate a sale using Amazon FBA. This won’t take into account what you want to sell, but it’ll go over the system and how it works. By the end of it, you’ll have familiarity on how to use Amazon FBA to sell online

Making an Account

The first step is to make an account. This is simple to do, and it doesn’t require a monthly fee. To do this, you need to make an Amazon account first, which is free. Once you do that, you can then go over to your Seller Central account. You use this in order to sell things with Amazon. Once you get there, you click on “Inventory” and then go to “Manage Inventory.” This is where the option to use Amazon FBA is. Once you’re there, click on it. You’ll then need to ship out your products.

Shipping

Shipping is the next step. You will be given PDF labels by Amazon in order to reduce shipping costs. You print these out, and then you put them on the items to sell. They provide discounted shipping to help you get your items out the door. They give you a personal carrier as well, which will allow you to save money. Simply drop these off, and then they’ll be on their way to Amazon’s warehouse.

Inventory Time!

Next is inventory. Your products are now with Amazon. When they get there, they are scanned in, and the workers will determine where your items will be stored. They will dedicate a certain amount of space for it. This is an exact procedure due to the sheer number of products that come their way each day. They will store it there as inventory. They won’t touch it until they are sold, so you won’t have to worry about anything getting broken. As it gets sold, you can check to see how many products are still there, so you won’t have to worry about having to ship things fast if you run out. You’ll be able to watch your sales too, which is great for tracking how much income you’ve made each month.

The Sale

The sale is next. The customer will choose the product. You’ll list the products based on the pricing that you determine for this item, and once you do, the buyer will pay for the item. You’ll get the payment once it’s shipped. Amazon takes care of everything after that, and the only thing you have to do is get people to your site.

After the Sale

After the sale, Amazon takes care of the dirty work. They take the items from the allocated storage area, put them in boxes, print the shipping labels, and then are sent out to the designated buyer. They take care of the customer service aspects as well. You can check the packages, along with the tracking of how many items you have at the warehouse as well. Amazon will get it into the shipping company’s hands, and at the end of that, they’ll take care of the rest. It’s a simple system, but very effective.

Amazon FBA is simple, and it’ll allow you to sell more than you’ve ever imagined. It’ll help make the business aspects of the business easier, and you don’t have to run around worrying about where to store things, or when to go to the post office to sell your items. You just need to get the products and send them to Amazon. Once you do, the rest is handled by them, making this one of the best systems for reselling items out there.

Chapter 3: What Types of Products?

You’re wondering now what types of products you can sell on Amazon. The truth is, anything is fair game when it comes to selling on Amazon. But, you want to be smart about this. You want to pick products that will generate income. It’s amazing what some products will yield you, while others won’t get you anything. Before you go out and buy a whole slew of products, read this chapter. This one will discuss what you can sell on amazon, and where to get products.

What you Can Sell

You can sell anything, but there are some items that sell better than others. This chapter will go over what you can sell in order to generate an income with Amazon FBA.

Local Stores: The beauty of local stores is that you can pick it up from there and go home to sell it. You’d be amazed at the price differences of various items. A common item that sells for more on Amazon and will generate a product is organic food. You’ll be able to pick up some form of organic food at the store, and you can sell it on Amazon FBA. Also, certain products net more due to the fact that some stores don’t even sell them. It’s remarkable to think about, but different regions of the US sell different items. You can use this to your advantage and sell things that you find in the store.

At Home: You can start selling things that you have at home. If you have a ton of items that are of value, but you don’t want to keep them anymore, you can use Amazon FBA to resell them. They are right there, so you don’t have to go out to buy them. Just pack them up, put the shipping labels on them, and ship them out. It’s the nearest source of products, and if you look hard enough, you’re bound to find something.

Thrift Stores: Thrift stores are a great place for products. First of all, they’re cheap. They rarely cost a whole lot. You can spend a few bucks and get something that might sell for a hundred dollars online. You’ll find some gems most of the time, but the only drawback is you need to spend time looking for items. But, if you take the time to do this, the net profit is worth it, so it is in your best interests to use this outlet to find items.

Wholesale Retailers: This is one of the best places to find products. This is one where you’ll spend little to no money, but get a ton of products. You’ll buy them for cheap from different retailers, and then you re-sell them. Most of the time, these wholesale retailers are either on eBay or on a third-party website, so you won’t be paying a hefty price to get these items. It’s a simple way to generate a larger profit on Amazon.

Tips to Sell More

There are a few things to keep in mind if you’re going to sell on Amazon. These are important to keep in mind, so make sure that you take these tips with a grain of salt when you read them.

Bulk Products are Lifesavers: They are. You don’t have to spend a ton of money in order to get them. They can be bought in large amounts, which does save money. You also won’t have to spend time looking for them, and in many cases it can reduce shipping costs by a lot if used correctly. Buy in bulk, and you’ll sell more than you ever dreamed of.

Check Amazon: You need to check Amazon listings. The popularity of products changes, and you’ll want to keep up-to-date on these sorts of things. If you see s product that is popular now, check to see how long it has been popular. If it just started becoming a hot item to sell on Amazon, then it’ll sell. If it’s been popular for a while, but the rankings are going down, take caution in investing in a product like that. You will want to watch for what’s popular, so you’re not trying to sell things that went out of style three years ago.

Ranking is Everything: Ranking is what you need to look into. Check for items that are popular, but also will net a profit and go for a great price. Amazon does take a cut, but it’s small. At first, you might think it’s silly to buy an item that only nets a $5 profit, but let’s say you make thirty sales. That’s $150 dollars made from just one item, and all you had to do was just sell the item. It’s a simple process, but it’ll help generate sales at levels that are larger than you ever expected them to be before.

Go for Longevity: You’ll want to do this for a while, right? Well, it’s best to find products that won’t be going out of style after a few months. You’ll want to find products that will last a long time. Sometimes sales might take a couple of weeks to pick up, but once it does, you’ll have a nice profit. It does take time, so make sure you pick a product that won’t become wasted space after a while.

These tips will allow you to become the best seller out there. This will help you get started on selling things online, and it’ll give you ideas on where to go with this. It’s important to have an idea on products to sell, for it’ll make your experience selling on Amazon all the more better.

Chapter 4: Pricing Tips for Success!

It’s time to talk about pricing. Pricing on Amazon is an important thing to keep in mind. You want to have the right price in order to sell things online. Pricing will be what gets your product noticed, and it’s how you will generate income with sales. This chapter will go over tips on how to price your product so it does get sold.

Supply and Demand

The basic thing you must look at when you’re choosing a price is the supply and demand of this. This is a concept you’re probably familiar with, as it’s one that is talked about in many social science classes. Simply put, the law of supply and demand states that if there is a large demand for it, the supply will sell for more. If there is less, it’ll sell for less. You want to go for products that have a high demand, and an opportunity that will allow you to sell it for more. You’ll want to make sure though that you’re not trying to beat out hundreds of competitors. A good rule of thumb is to make sure that there are only fifty other competitors with the product. You can check this by clicking on the tem and seeing all of the other sellers out there.

The Price

The next thing you should consider is the price of the item. Pricing is everything, and in many cases, it can be the determining factor between you making the sale and you not making the sale. You’ll want to make sure that you price your product so you’re getting some form of profit out of it, so make sure to figure in how much you’ll get after Amazon takes the cut. It might be only a few dollars, but you’ll be a few dollars richer than before. You will also want to look at how to make it sell as close to the starting price as possible, while still getting a profit out of this. A good price will get attention, but make sure that you’re not coming out in the red with that sale. It’s better to put it a little higher in order to generate a profit, than to lower it and lose money in the end.

Sale Ranks Say it All!

Sale ranks do say it all. This is the determining factor between something selling, and something not selling. Let’s say you find a product in the store. If it sells for a nice price, but the ranking is nothing, then it’s better to not even bother with that product. If it sells for a good price and it has a great seller ranking, then you should buy it up and get it out the door fast. The seller ranking is a determining factor, in that it’ll most likely sell for some form of profit. It’s good to keep in mind if you’re an adamant seller who wants to sell popular items.

Pricing is the way to go in order to generate income. You’ll be able to net a profit from this, and by following these tips, you’ll have amazing prices that will cause the product to get sold in no time.

Chapter 5: How to Expand your Business with Amazon FBA

Once you’ve set up your Amazon FBA business, you’ll want to expand eventually. After all, most businesses want to do that, right? Well, you can. If you are serious about this and want to make a profit off of Amazon FBA selling, then this chapter is for you. It’ll go over how to expand, and what you need to do in order to achieve that goal.

Planning

Planning is the key factor here. You need to plan out your strategy. Simply put, determine what you want to sell. You need to have a niche, and you’ll want to build up your store from there. Become that seller that is known for a certain product, and you’ll generate more sales. Planning ahead will allow you to net a larger profit, and by doing so, you can look into wholesale retailers specifically for that.

Buying wholesale

If you’re serious about this, it’s time to buy things wholesale. Sure, if you see something great and it’ll net a profit, it’s good to buy it, but wholesale products will allow you to generate hundreds, if not thousands of sales. By buying from these retailers, you’ll net an even larger profit, and you won’t have to spend a ton of time looking for these things. It’s a great way to make money without spending hours looking for items.

Do Research

It’s imperative to research the items before you sell them. Choose the best ones that’ll net a profit, and it’ll make things easier. You should spend the time that you’re not using on packing and shipping to do effective research on this, and it’ll be more remunerative.

Expanding Outlets

Yes, you can expand your outlets and start selling in other places. Amazon FBA has a multi-channel system, which will allow you to sell things from different outlets. This is great for those who want to expand, and if you want to make this a job, you can start doing this. Market your stores on these different sites. Maybe even make a webpage for this sort of thing. You’ll be able to expel more energy into this, and with that, you’ll end up netting a larger profit and a greater market.

Hiring others

You can turn this into a full-fledged business, with other people on your team. To do this, you have to find the right people to work with you. You will want a researcher, a marketer, potentially a website designer or a graphic designer, and also a person who can order products for you. These people can join your team, and you’ll be able to run it as the head of the company. You can run your own business from the comfort of your own home! But, you need to be generating an income that is enough for you, and for the others before you do this. Don’t hire others right way, but wait until you start seeing the increase of sales and other such things before you move into that direction. You should watch your sales before you do this.

Expanding your business using Amazon FBA to help is a great way to net more sales. You can turn this into a real business, and you’ll end up making more profits than you’ve ever imagined a business like this could do.

Chapter 6: Tips to Keep in Mind When using Amazon FBA

This chapter will go over some tips when it comes to using Amazon FBA. These tips will allow you to make your selling experience the best it can be, and it’ll help you achieve the income that you want to have.

Don’t Expect Results Overnight

A result happening overnight doesn’t happen with anything, especially not with Amazon FBA. You won’t be netting $5,000 a month profits your first month, unless if you’re REALLY lucky. Most of the time, you’ll make a couple hundred dollars. Just work at it, and soon you’ll be making more than you ever dreamed of. But keep working at it, and don’t worry about the time.

Think in Profits

You need to think of products in terms of profits. If you see an item at the store that you think would sell for a lot more on Amazon, make sure you’re getting a profit. You want to only buy items that will net a profit, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Track the rankings and popularity of it before you buy an item.

Don’t Buy a Variety

One of the biggest issues is that people think that it’s smart to buy a whole lot of items. The issue with that is, it might end up making your store become a bit too crazy. It won’t net you as many profits, and it’s not a smart marketing tool. Focus on a niche, so you’ll make more sales and generate a larger profit.

Don’t Sell Books

Selling books is probably the worst thing for you to do. First of all, most books sell for dirt cheap online, and you won’t net a profit out of it. There is another issue attached to this as well, and that’s the fact that most books are lumped into the giant pool that is the kindle market. The kindle market is filled with many books, and hardbound books are going out of style, and instead it’s being replaced with a digital age. Don’t make your niche books, because you won’t generate a large profit like you anticipated. Focus on other areas, and you’ll have a much better time as a result.

By doing this, you can have success with Amazon FBA selling. It’s a simple procedure to use, but the pricing and item decisions are all on you. The hard part is taken out of the equation, and instead you get the opportunity to control what you sale, and with that comes a control of profits.
