The Amazon FBA Private Labeler Show

Welcome To Episode #113 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I give you 3 big reasons why many Amazon FBA sellers fail to become successful selling on Amazon.

Listen to this Amazon FBA Podcast!

I want you to wildly succeed selling on Amazon FBA. Right now there are thousands of sellers making it happen every single day. They are running great businesses using the power of Amazon to launch products and start amazing brands. On the other hand their are a lot of sellers that struggle and eventually fail. Why is that? Why do some have wild success and others give up and move on to yet another business venture?

As a successful online seller I have come up with my best 3 reasons on why Amazon FBA sellers fail and why some become successful.

1. SELLERS DON'T FULLY COMMIT 

• • Treat as a real actual business
  • Need to set attainable goals
  • Need to have laser focus 
  • Avoid shiny object syndrome
  • Buy a course to accelerate results

1. NOT HAVING ENOUGH CAPITAL 

• Lacking money for marketing or giveaways is trouble
• Come at your launch from a position of strength
• Try to avoid a loan. It's a bad idea.  
• Acquire more capital by flipping items on Amazon and Ebay

1. THEY GIVE UP TO EARLY

• Successful sellers keep pushing forward
• We all have setbacks and failed products. It's normal.
  • Failure is feedback
  • You are 1 product away from changing your life

I like to attend a handful of marketing and Amazon events a year as it's a great way to network with other sellers while learning new skills. This event is supposed to be one of the best for Amazon sellers to attend and I am really excited to check it out this coming June. Come join me!

Welcome To Episode #112 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I breakdown why you should get a trademark and enroll in Amazon Brand Registry to protect your brand and increase sales.

Listen to this Amazon FBA Podcast!

If you are a serious Amazon FBA seller looking to build a real business and a brand then you will want to consider getting your brand trademarked. Trademarking your brand offers many great protections and allows you to enroll in Amazon Brand Registry. Once you are enrolled you have access to lots of great tools to help grow and protect your brand while increasing conversions and sales.

In this podcast episode I streamline what you need to know about getting a trademark and how to enroll into Amazon Brand Registry.

SHOW CONTENT AND NOTES BREAKDOWN

1. WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?: a symbol, word, or words legally registered by use as representing a company or product.
2. WHY GET A TRADEMARK? - Access to Amazon Brand Registry, Brand IP Protections, Helps when selling your brand 
3. DO YOU NEED A TRADEMARK? - No but it is recommend for serious brand owners. 
4. WHEN SHOULD YOU FILE FOR A TRADEMARK? - If you are building a brand for long term - do sooner rather than later. Takes about 9 months

IMPORTANT! - When deciding on a brand name - check for existing trademarks (USPTO.gov if filing in US) + check domains to see if available - secure domain for later use 

Once ready to file for trademark - Hire a lawyer to file, file yourself or use a service like Trademark engine

* Amazon wants Word Mark / or design mark  - Important 

Make sure to accurately describe your product and use the correct classification 

Once you submit you just WAIT and then wait some more. Will go to PUBLISH FOR OPPOSITION for 30 more days then another few weeks wait. TOTAL TIME ABOUT 8 months

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Filing For Amazon Brand Registry

How to file -  https://brandservices.amazon.com/

Fill out the application accurately and wait 2-3 days for approval. *** NEED ACTIVE TRADEMARK****.

Amazon FBA vs Shopify 2018 - which one is better?

Welcome To Episode #108 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I discuss break down how I saved $1800 a month by using Amazon Small and Light shipping.

Listen to this Amazon FBA Podcast!

Shipping with Amazon can be really expensive and eat into your profits as Amazon FBA fees continue to rise. If you sell some lower priced items and are shipping with FBA then you might not have much profit left after all said and done.

Recently I started to use Amazon Small and Light shipping for one of my products. After I ran the numbers I figured it would save me nearly $2,000 a month on shipping costs using Amazon Small and Light compared to standard FBA. That's a huge savings.

Check out this episode for more details about Amazon Small and Light to determine if it makes sense for you and your business.

Here are a few of the links I mentioned in the episode:

Welcome To Episode #106 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I give my initial thoughts about the Amazon transparency program.

Listen to this Amazon FBA Podcast!

Amazon has had issues in the past regarding counterfeit sellers pushing inauthentic products which has always been frustrating for brand owners and sellers. These bad sellers could cause lots of problems for sellers and even damage your brands reputation.

Amazon has recently rolled out the Amazon transparency program that will allow sellers to fight back against these bad sellers. If you want to protect your brand and fight off dishonest sellers then this program is something you will want to consider enrolling in.
