In this episode of The Amazing Seller Podcast you'll hear how Ty Roney went from selling toys locally to creating his own Amazon Toy Store. He quit his job and focused only on online selling.

He took his knowledge from working in a local Toy Store and decided to try this Amazon Thing. He had some pretty impressive numbers, but in year 3 his margins were slipping.

Year 1 generated over $400k

Year 2 generated over $1.2 M

Year 3 generated over $1.5 M

Ty has also started his own agency that helps Amazon businesses sell their products.

Here's the 6 points I wanted to cover in this show:

1. Selling Wholesale Is Hard Now

2. Sell Your Own Product and Control The Buy Box

3. Seasonal Products Can Be Profitable for Short Period Time

4. Pay Attention To Retail Products for Ideas

5. Approach Local Retail Sellers and Sell Their Products For Them

6. Be Willing To Switch and Pivot When Business Changes

7. Look and Listen for Opportunity (His New Agency)

In this episode of The Amazing Seller Podcast you’ll hear how to avoid my BIG shipping mistake that cost $1,080 in customs fees.  I’m not really sure that you can avoid these totally, but you should at least know about them, so you can figure them into your cost. Here’s the 6 points I wanted […]

In this episode of The Amazing Seller Podcast you'll hear how to avoid my BIG shipping mistake that cost $1,080 in customs fees.  I'm not really sure that you can avoid these totally, but you should at least know about them, so you can figure them into your cost.

Here's the 6 points I wanted to cover in this show:

1. Ask The Code They Use For Your Product

2. Call DHL Ask Customs Department - %

3. Over $2,500 Held The Order - 4% to 10%

4. Make Sure Supplier Doesn't Include Your Shipping Cost

5. Break Up Orders So Smaller - Under $2,500

6. ASK QUESTIONS

Keep in mind that I have everything shipped by DHL Express mail and they handle all of my customs fees and paperwork.

But, like I said...you just need to understand how it works so you can plan. It's part of the cost and isn't really a big deal. The $1,080 was for 2,000 units that I ordered and it's only an extra .50 cents per unit.

Enjoy The Show!
