What is private label? Simply put, it's the process of choosing a category (i.e. dog products) and creating products within that category to sell on Amazon. Essentially, you must create your own brand from the ground up, a venture many are unprepared to tackle. Especially given the flux of Chinese sellers entering the marketplace with unbeatable prices and knockoff products popping up left and right. Nevertheless, if you're sold on private label, check out Scott Voelker for some top-notch advice. Bottom Line? Despite the success stories, private label remains the toughest avenue on Amazon to pursue. Retail Arbitrage Arbitrage is a great place to learn the ropes. What is arbitrage? Retail or online arbitrage involves buying products from local stores like Goodwill and Walmart (or online) and reselling them on Amazon. While it's a simple process, if you're caught in a liability rut, Amazon won't accept a receipt from Target as bail. While a great place to learn, Arbitrage is hard to scale and therefore tough to sustain. Bottom Line? Arbitrage is a great place to start out, but don't stay for too long. Wholesale Out of the three entrances to Amazon, wholesale has the most opportunity. As private label and retail arbitrage get harder, wholesale stands above the rest. What is wholesale? In short, wholesale means buying established products from suppliers to resell on Amazon. Luckily you can find ways to predict a product's profitability. Not to mention, Amazon will always take receipts from brands and distributors if your account is ever flagged. Selling wholesale requires a smaller investment and because you're typically buying products from your own country or the country you're selling in, you can get products in just two weeks. Bottom Line? While not an "easy" path by any means, wholesale presents the least risk with a high return on investment. Overall Hopefully this helped to clear up your options in a time of uncertainty. If you commit to wholesale, Amazon Seller School is a great place to learn. As always, happy selling.

Are you like many entrepreneurs across the U.S. (and the world) worried about your business during these crazy coronavirus times? Are you wondering how you can recession-proof your business for future tough times? If so, grab hold of these safety net tips before your livelihood goes under. Show Notes & Transcript: https://www.amazonseller.school/17 SBA Disaster Loan Application: https://www.sba.gov/page/coronavirus-covid-19-small-business-guidance-loan-resources Get on the waitlist for Todd's small group coaching course: https://www.amazonseller.school/group Cash Is King Businesses that fail during recessions are highly leveraged and swimming in debt. In emergencies like these, hold-off spending all your money on inventory so you can use cash on hand as a sail to weather you through the storm. Shorten Your Stock Because recessions mean slower sales, reduce your inventory. In times like these, product investments pose greater risks. To reduce risk, stay safe and trade inventory investments for cash cushions that will sustain you through slow seasons. Target Essentials No one is racing to Amazon for car accessories so shift your focus to food, medication, toilet paper, and other items that everyone needs regardless of their budget. This is also a great opportunity to open new accounts. Amidst an economic downturn, businesses are more open to Amazon sellers. Take advantage of the lower barriers to entry and show brands you're still in business! Eliminate Unnecessary Expenses Per Tip #1, now is the time to trade investments for cash. Avoid investing in software systems, courses, travel, and anything else that boosts your businesses' outflow. If there was ever a time to stay stingy, it's now. Get Access To Capital Even if you don't need credit now, banks are about to tighten the reins so grab a line of credit while it's still available and you'll at least have the option to use it further down the line. Also take advantage of government loans like these now that everyone's eager to help out businesses. Focus On Your Strengths Now is the time to stay in your lane, whether that be private label or wholesale. It's also important to emphasize your skills to suppliers desperate for sale-boosting services. If you're great at snagging discounts or profitable products, do more of that and save your bottom line. Use this time to hone your skillset and emphasize what separates you from the rest of the pack. Negotiate Everyone understands the hardships faced by small business owners during times like these. It's always smart to approach suppliers about temporary discounts on products and rent. Remember, if you never ask, the answer is always no. Pay Your Debts If you've got debt, you don't have cash on hand (see Tip #1). So pay it off and focus on earning cash cushions. Know Your Numbers If you don't have a professional bookkeeper, get one. If not, make sure your accounting is accurate. Otherwise, it's impossible to know what's hurting or helping your business's bottom line. If your profit margin or ROI is shrinking, it's time to switch your strategy, but if you don't have accurate profit or loss statements, you'll never know that change is needed. Bonus Tip: Don't Quit Your Day Job This one's pretty self-explanatory. Now more than ever, it's essential to have a safety net. As a rule of thumb, wait to quit your day job until your side hustle has secured you 3-6 months of savings and you can pay yourself. Overall Don't just survive the recession – help your business thrive in spite of an economic downturn! It sounds impossible, but if you follow these ten tips, you'll be swimming far ahead of the pack when waters inevitably return to normal.

Do gated products remain a mystery to you? Do you want to ship products directly to Amazon? What if no products on a product list look profitable? Today we're answering all of your questions in a special Q & A episode. If you're searching for answers to your own Amazon questions, submit your question and be featured on the next Q & A episode. Remember, answers to your pressing entrepreneurial questions are out there – all you have to do is ask! Ungate Products There are some products that Amazon deems risky. Maybe they're too difficult to sell or maybe Amazon has seen one too many knockoffs. As a result, Amazon gates products such as watches, DVDs, and groceries. So how do you open the gates? To begin with, prove yourself a strong seller. Also consider testing a small unit of products and sending Amazon a paid invoice from the reputable brand or distributor that sells that product. Shipping Straight to Amazon While it's always great to ship test orders directly to your house to inspect them and ensure everything is in order for shipment, shipping directly to Amazon is certainly more convenient once you're farther down the line. Unfortunately, some brands won't allow this. But if you build strong relationships and position your ask as a request to print the shipping labels yourself, you'll be surprised at the number of brands willing to change their standard shipping practices for you. Where's The Profit? Are you plugging product after product into an analyzer and seeing dismal ROIs? Welcome to Amazon Wholesale! While this may feel discouraging, it's important to remember that your relationships with brands will unlock key discounts and these discounts are the basis of your profitability. And remember, it's a numbers game. You should be opening 50 accounts per week to find enough products to generate a profit. Yet another reason to outsource parts of the account opening process with VAs! For more tips on finding profitable products, check out a recent video that breaks down everything you need to know about staying profitable. Overall... In sum, keep asking questions and remember the importance of building strong relationships with brands – that's one aspect of your business you may never feel is worthy to outsource.
