Pinning this post so I see it every day in 2024.
There’s no greater motivation for me to escape the rat race as they say than missing time with family.
Working in healthcare the lights are never off and the hospital operates 24/7. Unfortunately that means working on holidays when I’d rather be at home.
When my wife sends a pic of the family celebrating and I’m stuck at the hospital charting at 1 am it’s a slap in the face.
A slap in the face telling me to put my head down, lock in, and make 2024 the year I become my own boss making my own hours. Make it the year I stop working holidays for someone else’s benefit. Make it the last year I have to clock in.
I’m going to look back on this tweet at the end of 2024 and tell myself “Holy shit you did it.”
We sold our first product on Amazon 367 days ago and have sold $420K since then. It's been a fun ride and learned a lot but...
We're transitioning to 100% wholesale moving forward.
OA is the best place to start for Amazon sellers but it's exclusively transactional and dang near impossible to build any momentum.
The one piece of business advice that has stuck with me since the early days of our SaaS business is "get momentum and maintain it at all costs"
This isn't possible with OA so it's not a sustainable long term business model by definition. And we have a SaaS business to run with 10000x the upside of our Amazon business.
I have high confidence we can run our wholesale business to multi 7 figures with <20 hours per week. Can't say the same about OA.
We reached out to our first wholesale distributor last night. Excited to get the wholesale party started!
RIP to our pretty orange bars for awhile as we transition but short term pain for long term gain.
And thank you to @coreyganim for all the amazing wholesale content. He's got everything you need if you want to get started with wholesale.
Negative keywords can help make you more money as an Amazon seller.
I'm not talking about Google or Amazon PPC, either.
You can use negative keywords right inside Keepa Product Finder.
Let me explain in this 🧵
This simple filter allowed me to remove most of the large, bulky items I would not want to sell and more closely focus on the replacement parts I wanted to source.
It's not perfect but it removed close to 6,000 results.
And, I can always add them back in if I choose.
This is still too many products to source efficiently so I would consider adding in more filters like:
• price
• average BSR
• number of sellers
This would further reduce the results and I can even create corridors of products I may be more likely to sell.
Just a reminder that I dropped out of high school and worked at a job I hated til I was 30.
If I can do this, so can you…
If you want it bad enough. (And a little bit of luck)
I’ve been pretty low sometimes but the best thing ever has been to just keep going and Jesus involved in everything, this has been crazy to see us go from a few dollars to $500 in a day, truly shown something incredible and gave me hope in this process, truly effort = progress
A close look into the week from today, @SellerAmp really breaks everything down for you. Props to them for a great tool, go ahead and run it up everyone
@fliponaire62@CebrailCeyhan7@CariJay_Fba@ArbitrageAlex_@Dez_ecom@Fba_AJ3000 If you have a higher stock count than others and stay stocked consistently, Amazon will favor you to win the buy box. (Meaning you’ll get the most sales).
Make sure you know what you’re doing before placing a larger order though.
