AliExpress – Another site for scouring products to sell. It’s similar to Alibaba but focuses more on smaller tester orders instead of huge bulk orders.

Global Sources – Similar to Alibaba this portal is a very high quality site to find products to source. It isn’t as well know as Alibaba but certainly should be part of your tool belt when looking for new products.

3 Simple Listing Tweaks For Big Profits - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show EP

Welcome To Episode #33 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I break down how you can deal with those pesky listing high jackers and remove them from your listing.

How To Deal With High Jackers - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show Podcast EP 33

In this podcast episode I discuss listing high jackers...

Yes they suck and just about every Amazon seller I know will have to deal with them at one time or another.

More often then not you can get them off your listing fairly easily without issue. However a small percentage of them take some extra effort.

WHAT IS LISTING HIGH JACKING?

It's essentially when someone else uses your listing you created to sell a similar or counterfeit product. (Yes Amazon allows others to jump on your listing and sell from it)

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING?

You will see on your listing under the pricing information or off to the right of the page that it says "Also Sold By" or "Other Sellers" It will usually be shown in red and then list the sellers next to it. 

WHAT IS THE BUY BOX?

If you are the only seller of the item on your listing then by default you own the "Buy Box." If you have other sellers on your listing then by default you will still get the sale unless the customer clicks on another seller to buy from them. It can occur where you get bumped from the "Buy Box" on your own listing and someone else take control of it. In order for you to make a sale they would have to click on you as the seller and buy from you.

HOW TO DETER HIGH JACKERS?

• Make sure you are private labeling your products and putting your logos on the product and packaging if you can. Then make sure your logo clearly shown on your product in your listing images.
• Make sure you are checking your listings daily to monitor.
• Register your brand with Amazon Brand Registry. (This will require a website.)(Wordpress, Shopify)

HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THEM?

• Start by sending them a nice message that is polite but kindly tells them to stop selling on your listing. Wait 24 hours for them to respond.
• Send them a slightly stronger worded message if they fail to comply after 24 hours.
• Send them a cease and desist letter.
• Buy the product from their listing and wait until it arrives. Document it and take pictures of what they actually sent you.
• File a complaint with Amazon directly and let them deal with it. (Click Here To Do That)
• Seek legal advice from a lawyer if desired.

FIRST MESSAGE TO HIGH JACKER:

Hey,

I just wanted to kindly inform you that we noticed you are selling on our listing we created. While we are certain you did this by mistake we just wanted to reach out and ask nicely that you please remove yourself from our listing. Here is the ASIN that we are referring to in this matter (XXXXXXXX)

Take care and have a great day

Company Name

SERIOUS TONED MESSAGE TO HIGH JACKER:

Hello (insert seller name here),

We have noticed that you are still continuing to sell our product on our listing. This is our brand that we created and we have never authorized any other sellers to sell.

If you are attempting to use our listing while selling a similar or counterfeit brand then that is something that we take very seriously. We also know that Amazon takes that very seriously and we are already in communication with them about this incident.

If you do not remove your product from our listing immediately then we will send Amazon a formal Cease And Desist letter. If you remove your product from our listing we will kindly inform Amazon not to pursue this matter any further at this point.

We appreciate your swift action and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

INSERT NAME

CEO

How To Deal With High Jackers - Amazon FBA Tips - Amazon Private Label Show EP 33

Welcome To Episode #32 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I tell you why you should break all the rules and think outside the box when trying to find a product to sell on Amazon.

Find A Product To Sell On Amazon By Breaking The Rules And Thinking Different - Amazon Private Label Show Podcast EP 32

Looking to find a product to sell on Amazon right now?

Yes it can be downright brutal to find the perfect product that meets all of your criteria.

Some people spend weeks or even months in the product research phase and then fail to take action and make a decision.

One of the main problems is that most Amazon sellers are all following the same general criteria in the product research phase and looking in the same exact product categories as everyone else.

In this podcast episode I talk about thinking a little outside the box to find a product to sell on Amazon.

A lot of the hidden gems are discovered when you break some of the rules and are willing to take some risks.

Here is a basic criteria of what your product should be like:

• Small and lightweight - fits in a shoebox and 1-2 pounds max
• Simple and not complex
• Sells for $20 or less on Amazon
• Makes you $10 of profit per unit sold

Now I am here to explain that it's ok to break some of these general rules.

Consider the following ideas:

• Larger or slightly oversized items
• More expensive items that are $30 and above
• Slightly more complex items
• Unique or odd items
• Avoid the popular and "sexy" items and categories
• Item makes you $5-$10 profit

As long as your bottom line numbers work out then you should be willing to open your mind up in the product research phase.

After playing on Jungle Scout for about 30 minutes I quickly discovered some potential opportunities in the follow categories:

• Arts, Crafts, sewing
• Baby
• Bathroom Accessories
• Office Supplies
• Items Made of Bamboo
• Unique Travel Adapters

Also if you are looking to find a product to sell on Amazon without using any tools then you are essentially just wasting a lot of time. Using a tool like Jungle Scout allows me to quickly uncover cool things to sell within the matter of minutes.

There are certainly unique opportunities all around you so start to think about those odd or unique items. They may not be "sexy" but I am sure you wouldn't mind if they were making you an extra $2000 a month passive income.

So in conclusion... Think weird, break some rules and don't be afraid to go against the grain when in the product research phase.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY VOL 4 - AMAZON FBA SUCCESS - PRIVATE LABEL SHOW PODCAST

Welcome To Episode #31 of the Amazon Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I share 5 Amazon FBA success tips I learned from the Seller Summit in Miami, Florida.

I just recently attended the Seller Summit in Miami Florida and wanted to share a few Amazon FBA Success Tips with you so you can implement them in your business.

If you are interested in attending the Seller Summit in 2017 then stay tuned to the podcast as I will inform you of any news so you can attend.

1. Update and improve your listings often. Amazon loves activity and older listings without activity will lose favor with Amazon.
2. Make sure your keywords that you enter in the search term fields are actually relevant to your product. Non relevant keywords can cause issues with Amazon understanding what you are selling.
3. New substitute for Super URL's - give the reviewers your top keywords you are targeting + your brand name.
4. Pay attention to how your listings look on mobile
5. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Explore other channels like Shopify.
