Formerly Sold $5M+ on Amazon | Building stuff

[Drew @DrewFBA]

From $0 to $6,000,000+ (My Amazon Journey, Lessons for You, and the Future)

Buckle up, this one’s gonna be extremely long, but possibly the most useful piece of content you will read in this space

I started selling on Amazon 4 years ago right after graduating college

$1,100 to my name

0 direction on what I was going to do - marketing degree wasn’t worth shit

Decided to start reselling as a bridge to whatever job I was going to get

First month, I made like $600 profit

3 months later, $25k profit in a single month (pools goin crazy at the time)

This compounded with other Covid related stuff and stacked $8-25k a month for the rest of 2020 and so on into 2021

2021-2022, not much changed

Constant 5 figure profit months living the ideal life of freedom I had wanted to achieve

Learned a ton about OA in the process and made some good connections

2023, goal was $3M revenue and to throw in some coaching since I had so much free time

Well, 2023 entailed far more than that

Early in the year, I opened my coaching program and charged a very, very low rate and gave insane value

This was in hopes of a 100% success rate (lol very naive)

I learned quickly, the fit of the client to you is the most important aspect of this style of business

I am a run and gun, pound out massive knowledge, you do the work type of guy

Lotta mfs need a complete hand holding, say your goals in the mirror, tony robbins type shit just to get on their computer

This was a big reality check and led to extreme mental stress and inevitable burnout

Reading thousands of Keepas a week, getting hundreds of 1 on 1 calls a month, answering the same questions over and over again

Hours taken from the biz + Other Biz ventures seemingly doing well = Huge decrease in motivation for Amazon

Not a problem though tbh

Ended the year with FAR more cash than all years combined (and 2nd most profitable year out of the 4)

I would say my Amazon experience has been much better than most as well

- NEVER missed a CC payment
- Never asked for cash from anyone
- Never took a loan
- Made damn near 7 figures in profit
- Helped 10+ people quite literally 3-10x their income from Amazon

$15k revenue months to $50k profit months

$8k rev months to $30k profit months

List goes on

Eventually, I’ll compile some insane case studies from my coaching last year

But that's not what this is about

See, throughout this whole process of doing this I got some insanely valuable advice and connections that have ultimately made me decide I am going to move away from the Amazon space

I am not as passionate anymore and it simply doesn’t align with my long term goals

I was (and kinda still am) making 5 figures profit every month, but I am on pace to make much more with other ventures now

Juice doesn’t seem worth the squeeze (for me personally)

This year, much of my content will be much different

HOWEVER

I am leaving the space with one final informational dump

I have yet to see anyone do anything like this

And what inspired this:

Got a call from the owner of a prep center I use and he said out of every client he has had (300+), I am the best at what I do

He said there is no way I can walk away from it lol

Kind gesture and I greatly appreciated it, but I am still walking away from it

But after that call and shortly after a $10M+ a year seller saying I was one of the best guys he had seen when it comes to sourcing

I decided I definitely can’t just keep all that shit in my brain for no reason

So, this will, undoubtedly, be the most valuable piece of content ever produced on the OA side of Amazon

What is it?

An Exposé of everything I have ever done or heard of on Amazon

Everything I have ever learned

An 8 hour + long webinar that WILL NOT stop until you guys are out of questions

Nothing is off the table (aside from my personal relations in the space ofc)

I will answer anything

- Most profitable sites to source from
- List of most profitable ASIN’s I have ever sold (Inventory Lab deep dive)
- Ability to send a Seller ID and will break down how they likely get their inventory

Whatever you want, you get it

All anonymous - questions will not be tied to you and you can use a pseudonym during the webinar

But 100% Transparency from me

This will burn bridges I am sure lol but I am leaving, I don’t care

This will not be recorded and an NDA will be required to attend

This will not be a motivational hoorah to get you to “visualize” not being a fucking loser

You can find that shit at one of these meet-ups or “exclusive” coaching programs

You won’t have to be disappointed that I launch a course, more coaching, some BS group or whatever after this

That won’t be happening

If you want to stop wasting money on all the bullshit info-products, conferences, challenges, etc. in the future, this is for you

I will see you there

@herrmanndigital Seeing better results just excluding iOS devices for now

95%+ click to LPV and traffic is consuming more on page (assume targeting is better)

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@ashvinmelwani Yep even 60%+ drop on some campaigns

And CAC has doubled in the same time period

[Drew @DrewFBA]

Every time I read the sea of garbage AI slop replies to tweets (especially by accounts who have are trying to sell something)

I think of this excerpt from an old Gary Halbert interview

[Mason @CardinalMason]

Trying to understand the motives of people who use Chat GPT to reply to every tweet on the TL, thinking they’re adding value.

Do they not know we know? Do they think we think they are this great sage with the perfect quip for every occasion?

I’m stumped on who benefits here.

[Drew @DrewFBA]

Your identity can become a prison

We build identities around what we do, what we have done, and what we believe

'I'm the guy who does x'
'I am not the type of person to do x'
'x is the way I always do it though'
'he says x, so that is what works'

Then when whatever you do requires something more aggressive, or requires a pivot altogether

This identity gives you pushback

'Ah, thats not me' although most of the time it's the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do to reach your goals

So many people I talk to that struggle mentally are victims of this

Cannot get out of their own way because they attach themselves to a rigid identity that only exists to keep them safe (and often, weak)

Be malleable with what you identify with

[Drew @DrewFBA]

Using nearly this exact formula I tested 3 offers in 2 weeks

1 is now profitable on front end (faceless on cold traffic ONLY static image ads) with 0 upsells

+ I got gated by stripe so had to go with alternative payment processor

I’ll drop a guide if anyone is interested

[Drew @DrewFBA]

I've been building offers for myself and others for around 2 years now

The rate at which you can get this done now is insane

1. Spawn Idea
2. Validate market with ChatGPT deep research
3. Get ChatGPT agent to build landing page on lovable
4. Connect to a backend for email, payment processing, etc. (GHL, Systeme, whatever)
5. Feed in all LP, research info, and winning competitor ads back into ChatGPT then have it generate image ad prompts
6. Feed those prompts into Nano Banana
7. Train a seperate GPT on your offer + some classic copywriters to get copy
8. Edit copy + ads to not be slop
9. Run ads

@joshdgavin @theaymanarab Aside from the ‘well if the low ticket is made to put them into a new problem’

Obviously, but most people won’t pull that off

Most would be better to just go straight book a call for high ticket from their extremely warm organic following

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@joshdgavin @theaymanarab So what’s your counter? I’ve followed a ton of your low ticket stuff so interested to see how I’m wrong here

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@jsharkey 🫡 Next improve checkout embed loading (if possible idk how it really works)

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@coreyganim John will be in contact soon, we were talkin bout it this morning

The 10 hour live was fueled by enough stimulants to kill a small animal and I couldn’t talk for 24 hours after so probably a good decision lmao

[Drew @DrewFBA]

I inspired a generation

(now I need 10% commission for my OA/WS Amazon exit playbook)

[Corey Ganim @coreyganim]

After 8.5 years I am drawing my Amazon selling career to a close.

Please watch this video.

It explains everything.

If you're interested in the offer mentioned in the video, I've included a link to it in the next tweet.

Post coming soon on what's next for me.

Love yall ❤️

[Drew @DrewFBA]

Sike hopefully can have Corey on the pod soon

Looking forward to hearing some more thoughts on his decision

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@jdfigss @Jason______A Amazon Influencer Program

Commissions from just makin vids + selling the stuff you get from brands on ebay + facebook

[Drew @DrewFBA]

I never understood Dave Ramsey

Always thought 'who tf actually needs that?'

All of it seemed such entry level, common sense stuff

But after talking to so many people irl and online over the years and realizing nearly everyone (and yes, from $2k month income to $10k+ month income) is financially cooked

Sub $10k net worth, living month to month, trapped in mountains of debt, basically 0 chance at retiring sub 70 years old

Makes me realize that guy really is saving lives out here

I imagine literally millions of people would be full throttle wage slave till death without his advice

Generational poorness saved by a guy saying 'yeah man you shouldn't don't buy a $80,000 tesla when you make $50k a year'

[Drew @DrewFBA]

Even the genuine Ecom and Info guys are fucking you with everything they post

They tell you… ‘X got me X. If you do x (and make sure you do x) you’ll get x’

It seems beneficial to save to your bookmarks, but you’ll never implement

Because you’ll never never really understand why something works

There’s much more value in learning why something works then how something works

[Drew @DrewFBA]

@KianInfo1 But MRR bro

[Drew @DrewFBA]

MRR is top 5 worst biz buzzword

‘if I start a skool at $40 a month and get 100 people I’ll do $4k MRR!1!!”

or just sell 1 dude a month a $4k offer

Not worry about churn

Not worry about dealing with 100 people

Whatchu think, someone gonna pay you $40 a month for the rest of their life?
