If you want to believe it or not, there are two things that are certain in life. Death and Taxes. 

As an online seller, you are actually responsible for paying sales tax on the products you sell in other states (well kinda - I explain more in the podcast).

In this podcast, we talk about all of the money that Chris leaves on the table as he walks through a store scanning items. We then focus on how you can take advantage of this and turn it into a great revenue source.

At the end, Cordelia talks about her course and I mention a promo code. 

Use code FBAMASTER to save 10% off the course (a $20 savings).

We know it sounds like the American Dream, but do you know what it actually entails to be your own boss? We cover that and much more in this episode.

It's a question that each of us needs to ask ourselves. Why do you FBA? Do you want to leave your full time job? Do you want to make a side income? Do you want a hobby? Ask yourself these questions and see where your answer takes you.

Best Buy wasn't one of my favorite places to source online...until I found out about this secret combo.

In this episode, we chat about the economics behind sunk costs and the way they impact your Amazon business.

So I got this email about 2 months ago from a guy named Ty. It wasn’t unusual that I received some sort of salesy email, but this one caught my eye. 

“Hey Chris,

I appreciate the opportunity to tell you more about our business and what we offer.

Kole Imports is in its 31st year of business and we are one of the nation’s largest direct importers of general merchandise.  We have products ranging from dollar store merchandise all the way up to $30-$50 retail items.   We sell to everyone from your local discount stores all the way up to national chains like Walmart, Boscov’s, DD’s Discounts and many more.

I developed our FBA services here where customers can purchase on our website and we can prep and ship their orders straight in to one or multiple fulfillment centers. We have thousands of products to choose from and a great selection of optional prep services.  Everything from labeling to bundling to repackaging and more. 

With our labeling service customers have the option to essentially private label one of our generic products and create their own product pages.  We have seen great results with this approach.

The process is super easy and streamlined and is explained in the FBA guide that I wrote here.

I can go on but not sure how much detail you are looking for.

I think this would be a great opportunity for your members.  We would also be willing to create some custom coupon codes for you that can be given out to the group that would help save even more off our wholesale prices.  I’ve also done webinars and live presentations on our services in the past and would be happy to do the same.

Feel free to reach out via phone or email of you have any more questions or need more details.

Looking forward to the relationship!”

That was word for word the email I received. The part that caught my eye was: “I developed our FBA services here where customers can purchase on our website and we can prep and ship their orders straight in to one or multiple fulfillment centers.”

So instead of running into the Facebook group and telling everyone and their brother about this service, I decided to do what I do best: Test, test, test.

Since you are here reading this post, odds are you are a hustler. Like someone who is looking to take their lives into their own hands and looks for ways to make money in every way possible.

Not to be confused with the men’s magazine Hustler.

We don’t know how to stop the hustle.

Part of my plan for 2016 is to outsource the majority of my daily operations and focus my time on revenue generating operations. One of my major tasks I have started to outsource has been prepping and shipping of my online purchases. 

Dustin Buchanan is the owner of Simple Price Prep and is the man I turn to with all of my packing and prepping needs. In this podcast, I ask some of the common questions that most sellers have about using a service like Dustin's.

FreeeUp is an American based Internet company founded on the principle of wanting to provide a better solution to outsourcing for small business owners around the world. After working with over 200 international freelancers through various international agencies and online working communities, FreeeUp’s founders made the decision that there must be a better way to complement businesses with virtual assistants than what was being offered. The duo had gone through years of successes and failures with outsourcing and wanted to create a solution that was a success 100% of the time. Hence, FreeeUp was born. The company continues to bolster its network of professional freelancers and has its eyes set on placing thousands of workers in small businesses around the world by the end of 2017.
