Here's a good analogy: amazon is the largest mall in the world and you have a tiny booth there. the fees are rent. it's worth the rent to have all these shoppers in the mall.

@12:30 information is GOLD.

I'm experiencing this right now. I started 30 days ago. I'm making sales but because I'm buying subscriptions, tools, boxes, packaging, and merchandise. I've already spent 2, 600 while only making $200 (my cut) so far. However, I have over 230 items in FBA still waiting to sell. Stay the course! Your info helped me understand when I'll break even and start profiting.

Love the real talk in this video! You are awesome, Nikki. If I could add one thing to your new seller mistake's list would be #9 not reserving money for taxes. Self employment tax can end up being a lot and could really put an unexpected burden on a new seller who wasn't expecting it!

Oh I got my store paused because someone complained I was selling some chips at a high price. My price was the lowest!!! I immediately got rid of the chips from my inventory and my account was restored. Whenever I see chips I roll my eyes at them. Ha ha!! Don't give up new sellers it pays off!!

Told a friend I was trying to do Amazon and told me it was a bad idea smh I really want to give it a shot I really hope it works out so I can prove him wrong. It amazes me how many people don’t try cause it’s “hard” or cause they don’t believe they can do it. Yes it’s going take money but nothing great comes from not putting any money into it

very helpful, I am doing Amazon FBA UK and sourcing from China, I think the key thing of doing FBA is to find professional suppliers and freight forwarder to handle your first leg for your Amazon FBA, like IRFREIGHT, highly recommended.

Lol you are killing these fake people on YouTube and I just love I found you early on I just started my seller account last week so I am considering one of your guides but any extra money I have is to put towards packaging and inventory

[carolyne_anne]

Hi Nikki! I love your channel. You are the reason I got started in this thing. I’ve been doing it since the middle of February part time and I’ve been growing my inventory ever since. I want to grow my business to make it my full-time business. But wanna know how do you calculate with the fluctuations how much inventory to purchase to be able to make X amount of profit for income? Is that too hard to answer? Lol anyway I look forward to your answer. And I’m super super excited about my future in this FBA business and it’s all thanks to you. Keep the videos coming!

I just found you today and am so excited! It's nice to see a relatable female face for which I was starting to assume was a male dominated field, also you explain things so clearly, ease the worries and fears and I am so grateful for all the content you consistently put out! I will for sure be purchasing your guide.

Hi Nikki,
It’s great to hear someone say that you can’t get rich doing this. Some of the other channels I have seen say that you can turn a small amount of money into a mountain of money in no time. Thanks for that. Now for my question: I haven’t taken the leap yet to start selling on Amazon and I’m wondering if you could ballpark the amount of money someone would need to get started with just the Amazon seller account and the sites that you mentioned in your video like Keepa and others. I’m trying to get an idea of how much I need to get a hold of to start this. Thanks.

[nicolelugo]

I needed to hear that! You are so right. Thanks 😊

[DeLaCruz]

Hey Nikki, since you sell mostly one off items do you know how to keep a good IPI score despite that? I have a very low in stock score and may have my storage amount limited soon because I mainly flip books. Do you know if there is a way around this?

Thanks!

[piuschukwu]

Wow.... I just learnt alot in few minutes here, thanks for the video

[mikebenson]

So I made a mistake recently I’m new to wholesalers I bought a bunch of fishing stuff thinking I can sell them on Amazon but I didn’t read the individual items terms and conditions for selling and it turned out i wasn’t allowed to sell the items on 3rd party websites so always read the terms and conditions

[FloridaPhilippines]

Great info thanks! Why do you prefer selling on Amazon vs eBay? Isn't profit higher on eBay?

[alexandercruz]

This was amazing. Super pumped. Thank you

[jeanettesteele]

Just yesterday I somehow listed all my units as FBM... so I was VERY surprised when I started getting FBM orders (losing $ on shipping BTW) I had to jump into seller central and fix everything fast! 😵‍💫

[johnseber]

That first purchase especially when your spending couple thousand dollars yeah that’s scary

[marietilor]

Hi, I just found your video about mistakes to avoid as a new seller on Amazon. I really appreciate the video. I do have a concern. I just laughed my first product 3 days ago under an existing listing on Amazon. I had my first sell 😊. I received an email from the brand I listed my products under basically telling me to delete their ASIN from my listing. What do you think I should do?

[samanthalarochelle]

Which mistake should I talk about first 😂🤦‍♀️ i listed the wrong product, sent a few in and realized it only when i scanned a similar item…and that day, i had an order for the wrong item that was in the warehouse. I reached out to the customer, offered to send her the right product and keep the wrong one. I was trying to avoid a bad review and maybe get a good review but ended up with neither.
