What is the #1 challenge Amazon FBA Sellers face?

What would you say if we told you that your #1 challenge as an Amazon FBA seller isn't cash & capital, inventory or even PPC Ad spend?

No matter what level your business is currently at, your #1 challenge is how you find and execute Opportunities.

Do that # 1 thing well, and you will ALWAYS be successful.

A Story

When I was early in my FBA business, I got really good at finding retail arbitrage products with a great rank, and a great ROI.  I would do a test buy of 2-5 units.  Then I would re-up a few more, or buy out a store... and then because it was so successful, I would source online or wholesale and get a case or two of that product at a better price.   (One month, I sold $5000 worth of Q-Tips in a month for a huge profit.  That was a hoot!)

 

Every single time I found a run-away winner, something would happen and I would be left sinking money into something that sucks up all my capital and now I am finding 100's of MORE great products, but now I have no money to buy them.   I was missing out on opportunities.

 

The thing I found was that I could only get to a few hundred SKUs and then I couldn't manage it anymore.  It was just too much activity.  Pricing, listings management.  Re-upping inventory after price-shopping from multiple sources.  Multiple opportunities were at my fingertips, which is the best one?

 

People who are serious about scaling their sales know that in order to grow, you need processes and systems.  Successful people know they need to invest time, effort and money in order to grow a business.   People who have gone through the pain of financial losses intuitively know that if one opportunity closes, a new one presents itself.  It sucks, but it can also be very good. 

 

But you need to be continually feeding that opportunity funnel.  You need to be curating it and building patterns of success that will be repeatable and make you more money with less effort and with more confidence.   You don't need to be blind-sided by missing out on a deal just because you're comfortable selling what you already know.

We've done a lot to make getting started easy, and running your business easier.

Here's a few of the main challenges we hear from Amazon FBA sellers and what you can do to make your life easier for yourself.  

Spend more time working ON your business and less time working IN your business.   That's the essence of how you can Rule your Realm!

Amazon Stock Limits are Driving me Crazy!

Amazon has been changing the ASIN level and total stock level limits like mad this past year and a half!  Staying on top of that is a huge problem.

I'm selling a lot but my bank balance isn't increasing.

There are lots of systems that "track" your COGS.  But, pretty much all of them out there only do that if YOU come up with that number!  Arbinon.com does the math for you.

We do the hard part

  • Find out why your bank balance isn't going up
  • We track how many units you buy at what price
  • We track how many units you sell, and apply the right cost to that sale

What kind of lifestyle do I want? What does that look like?

What does it mean for you to be successful?  What does that picture look like?  How will you measure your progress?

Craft your Path

  • Crunch the numbers so you know what level of investment you will require for the after-tax lifestyle you desire

I have more opportunity than money, and can't keep track of it all!

Let's face it, you make your money when you buy the products you sell.  Concentrate on the best opportunities.

Develop your Opportunity Funnel

  • Source from multiple suppliers to get the best price
  • Keep finding new suppliers
  • Keep finding new categories, brands and products
  • Stay organized by putting it all in one place
  • Share it with your team
  • Owner - spend your time building your funnel, let your team handle the rest!
