I wanted to send you all tips to avoid pain and start making money on Amazon.
· YOU MUST find an unprocessed product all over Amazon. Most exporters have people who are already marketing their products. When more than one person has the same product it becomes a price war and both parties continue to lower their value in order to get a sale. Eventually it comes to making $ 1 per sale. Definitely NOT!
· Your consignor must stand behind his product and pay for the shipping of damaged goods. If they don't pay you, YOU WILL PAY. The last thing you want is an unhappy customer. Amazon will close your account as soon as you receive complaints.
· Your drop shipper needs to arrive on time. I had a few shippers that would wait for weeks to ship their products. I ended up sending a lot of free stuff because people had to wait a long time. Maybe I'm a big softy .. but if they don't post it, don't work for them!
Do not stretch yourself too much. I do not recommend having more than 200 products on Amazon. When I first started I had 3,000 products out there because I thought Id did more. WRONG! With so many products you can't keep up with what the manufacturer has in stock. I got into trouble very quickly because Id got the purchase and I found out we were out of stock. If you cancel too many orders Amazon will shut you down. Not to mention, your customers will not be happy and you will not make money with Amazon.
· When you load your products double check EVERYTHING. I can't tell you how many times I lost money because I forgot to put in zero or I just put in the wrong amount because I was in a hurry. Some clients have found real cheap stuff from me haha.
· If you make a mistake, you pay for it. The re-peat client is right for you and you will feel better by doing the right thing.
· Create a website for each product line. It's free with Amazon. Do not combine all your products into one website. When I first started I posted all my 3000 products on one website haha. Don't do it!
Good luck!
